A wonderful stay!
Our group had a great stay at Castaway Beach! Peter was friendly, easy to communicate and with and very accommodating. We had three families staying at the property, each with a child under the age of 3. The water was shallow, clear and a great place for the babies to sit and splash. The beach had a ton of seating and was also very clean. We had plenty of space between the two cottages. Enough room to have privacy and quiet at night while putting the kids to sleep. 3 fridges, two bbqs and a fully stocked kitchen made our stay easy, this was much appreciated. Cannot wait to book again next year!

Balsam Lake Stay
It was an great stay on Balsam Lake. I have never been to a cottage with such a great sandy beach. It would be perfect for a family with young kids. Peter was a great host but even a better guy. Was great to meet him. Thanks for the stay.

Great Location
Other than the Cottage being a little tired we enjoyed everything to the beach, the lake and surroundings. Brought our own boat, which I highly recommend and were able to travel through the locks to Bobcaygeon. Drove the lake and even had the opportunity to get in some fishing time, surprisingly did well. Worth the value

The R&R you didn't know you needed....
As a group of friends just looking to get away from it all (and the city) we were lucky to find this property. Our host Peter was very personable, quick to reply, and readily available to answer any questions we had. Upon arrival, you notice how large the cottage is and the space, just the right amount to hang out with friends AND have personal space if needed. With that being said, you are automatically drawn to the outside through the large windows to the beautiful lake, multiple chairs, tables, sun loungers volleyball net, canoes, and paddle boards so your adventure awaits. We had such a good time, Peter even came and started a fire for us as the fire ban was lifted, which added to the relaxation. Also, a great fishing spot if that's what you are into. Due to the rain that weekend we were not able to get out Would highly recommend this place and we will be going back next year - hopefully for a longer stay. Thanks again Peter for everything, you helped make our getaway a memorable one
