We had an amazing time here! The home was well kept, cozy and comfortable. The lake was quiet and peaceful (except when our kids were leaping into the lake off of the float pad). We loved touring the lake on the tandem kayak and roasting marshmallows on the fire pit. We would gladly visit this property again, and hopefully soon.

Amazing experience!

We rented the cottage for our family to have a nice relaxing getaway and it did not disappoint. James was easy to connect with and kept us up to date on anything we needed to know throughout. The cottage was stocked with water toys, games and entertainment. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking and preparing things you’d need. The cottage is exactly like the photos. The kids slept awesome in the bunkie and loved cannon balls off the dock! The dogs had a great time with some Ready made long lines in the yard already and lots of space to Roam around. We had such a great time and can’t wait to book it again!

Clean Cozy Cottage

My husband, son and I had a lovely stay on Leech Lake at this well-maintained, well-provisioned cottage. The place was sparkling clean and the kitchen had all the necessities. Comfy beds and lots of lovely outdoor lounging space. The lake was calm and quiet and beautiful. The deck had a dog gate on it and there were tie-out lines in a few places on the property which were wonderful for our dog. in The host was very thoughtful and responsive both before and during the stay. A lovely quiet family getaway.

Family’s Time

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage had everything we could have asked for. Beautiful lake, great dock, lots of water toys. Great property, fun treehouse - grandson loved it, big fire pit for evening marshmallows - even a mosquito magnet that did a pretty good job of keeping them away. Cottage itself was roomy, clean provided pretty much everything needed - great BBQ! (Son loved it!). All in all a great place to spend time with the family! Thank you James!

Muskoka in June 2022

The property is definitely the quintessential cottage get-away! You circumnavigate a good portion of the lake on winding gravel roads surrounded by trees before arriving at your destination. The photos on the site are good representations of what you can expect. We were blessed with nice weather which allowed us to enjoy a campfire every night and enjoy the dock and lake every day. The paddle boat was perfect for our guests with young children and the adults enjoyed using the small kayaks to explore the lake. While on the cold side the water was still swimmable and generally calm, with small ripples when breezy. We did experience mosquitos and black flies (to be expected in June) but the cottage comes equipped with lots of spray and suntan lotion. The green space allowed us to play games with the children (bubbles, ring toss, catch which we brought with us) and there were lots of other options in the shed. Definitely bring lots of your own bottled water as you go through that faster than you think, and while you can drive into Bracebridge to restock, it is a trip you'll want to avoid unless you are also treating yourself to lunch or dinner out. We encountered one small glitch on arrival and James was quick to respond and address the situation for us. While couples will also enjoy this space, we think it is perfect for families with young children/teens who like to be active on the water.

Fun, family-friendly cottage getaway

This was an amazing trip for all of us (my husband and kids - ages 12 and 6). The cottage was clean, comfortable and cozy. The lake and waterfront were great. Steps leading in to a shallow wading area where the kids could safely play - for hours!! The dock was great for relaxing and fishing. The paddle boat and kayaks came in handy to explore a bit more of the lake. There was decent privacy from neighbouring properties, and the lake was quiet and removed from any traffic noise. It was also great having a washer/dryer in the bathroom, which was new and clean with a great shower. And the view of the lake from the cottage was incredible. Morning sunrises we’re such a treat. We had such a wonderful time, and James was a fabulous host. Very thoughtful and responsive!! An amazing experience overall!!

5 stars all around

Pictures don't do this place justice. The view off the deck was breathtaking! The cottage was very clean, had everything we needed for our stay. The kids loved the bunkie and spent hours in the treehouse. We had access to the non motorized water toys, plenty of life jackets. The lake was calm the days we were there, not a lot of boat traffic. It rained one of the days which was not a big deal given the wifi was great and the tv had more channels then we have at home. The host, James, was responsive to our text messages and made us feel like he actually cared about our stay. Will definitely be coming back next year!

The best host of a cottage rental!

We had a great week during our stay. Upon entering the cottage we had a surprising welcome package that included some sweets. This is the first time a host had something like this waiting for us. A small gesture which goes to show what a great host James is! He provides non motorized water toys which include canoes, kayaks, and a paddle boat. This was one of the reasons we choose his place. Leech Lake is a small lake which is great for kayaking and canoeing as well as providing a quiet getaway. Most of the cottages are owned where the neighbours are up for week ends. The big bonus was all the bass we caught off the dock. The lake is filled with Rainbow Trout annually but one would need a boat to get to deeper waters.
