The photos don’t even do justice compared to the beauty of this cottage. There was a few of us and I must say there was more than enough space for everybody. The private fenced off beach and the floating dock was the biggest hits for our stay. Will be back again and again ##### Shannon H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara M. 22 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Large, lovely property and cottage The cottage and grounds are beautiful. There is a large, broad lawn which contains a play structure and leads down to a small sandy beach and the lake, with a fence between them - perfect for the 2-, 4- and 6-year old children in our group. The cottage itself is beautifully laid out with ample bedrooms and bathrooms for our group of seven, a large dining room and comfortable spaces in which to gather. A few minor inconveniences: we would have liked to have had linens and towels provided by the host and some closet and drawer space available to us in the bedrooms and bathrooms. ##### Barbara M.

Nice to see the family photos in the house to make you feel at home.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil W. 11 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful lakeside retreat Stayed at this property in late july with my family. The cottage feels spacious with a lovely master bedroom and adjacent room which can provide a separate area within the bigger cottage. The property was clean and comfortable cottage finishings not ostentatious. There was a large well maintained lawn perfect for badminton/frisbee. The Beach had nice sand but the weed free area narrows as it goes out in the water which is fine as there is still plenty of space to enjoy the lake. Watercraft were available as in the listing and the lake was fairly quiet and peaceful. Property was enjoyed by the staying adults and children alike Our host was responsive to our questions and was informative on hiking locations, nearby events and fishing. We were glad we choose this property. ##### Neil W. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amelia S. 3 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 80th birthday weekend The location is beautiful and quiet and the house is spacious and well laid out. The wood burning stove turned out to be essential and not just a cozy nice-to-have. Paula was very quick to respond when booking and was flexible with checkout which was wonderful. The only downside of the weekend were two regional power outages and realizing the cottage does not have a generator. This resulted in a loss of power for Saturday morning and evening meaning no ability to cook, shower or flush toilets. This also meant no heat aside from the wood burning stove and it was -30\. We had my 80 year old mother and 6 year old grandson and a cottage without heat, or running water in the middle of winter is unpleasant. If you are going to rent this cottage be sure they have purchased a generator if you are there in winter. ##### Amelia S.

This large comfortable cottage has ample room both inside and out. There’s great access to water, and all the equipment you’ll need to enjoy what the lake has to offer. Paula is a warm and knowledge host, and the town of Gravenhurst is easily accessible giving you a nice balance of seclusion and amenities. ##### Richard S.

Use of canoe, kayak, paddle board, and floating dock was very much appreciated and kept us active. Exactly what we needed after a year locked up enduring the pandemic. ##### Nicole A.

This is a beautiful property with a fantastic view right on the water with a private beach, lots of yard space and a fire pit. The cottage itself was very clean, had all the basics, and spacious for our group of 7\. Paula was a great host: very friendly and quick to respond to questions/provide information when needed. My only comment was that we didn’t have access to a BBQ and wish I could have stayed longer! ##### Brittany V.

Everyday we went swimming in the Lake a little cool but very clean. My Grandson was upset when he had to leave loved the sandy beach especially the water. Paula was very helpful when asking her questions about the cottage also what Gravenhurst has in the way of stores. We have been renting cottages for a long time but this one was special. Sobey's is about 10 minutes away, along with other stores. We had a great week no problems what so ever. ##### Kenneth M.
