We had everything we needed and then some! Devon was very helpful, the cabin tiny and perfect. Great location - close to town, great dog walking trail and minutes from cross-country skiing. The cherry on top was the hot tub for apres ski sore muscles. A perfect place for our snow-cation!!

Our second trip to Sawdust City Haus and we loved every moment of it. Devon is a great host who works hard to make sure you have everything you need for your stay. The hot tub is wonderful and the skating rink was a fun way to spend some time. We can't wait to come back next winter!

Beautiful cozy cottage. We went for a peaceful winter getaway to get some much needed R&R, and this place absolutely delivered. We loved relaxing in the hot tub watching the snow fall. Devon was a great host. She was very communicative and has thought of most everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

We did a quick weekend trip here and had a really great time! It was a very nice place to stay in and was so nice relaxing in the hot tub while it was cold out. A snowstorm rolled in the morning we were leaving, and Devon even offered us a discounted extra night. We would have taken it, but unfortunately we had to be home that evening. Would recommend this place!

We didn’t get a chance to use all of the amenities on site as we both came down with sickness. However, it was super cozy, there were so many games and movies to keep us entertained while under the weather, and all the comforts of home from music to utensils and wifi. We can’t wait to come back for the full experience!

We really did enjoy our stay at this property. Devon was great in keeping in touch and helping out when needed and even offering to do some extra things for us!! We loved using the hot tub and back deck area to just sit back and enjoy the absolute quiet of being surrounded by nature!! Location was awesome as we were maybe a 5 minute drive from downtown Gravenhurst and it was far enough out of town to enjoy the peace and quite as the road dead ends just past the house (so very little traffic). We also appreciated that they had little extra things for us to use in the house such as dish soap, tin foil and saran wrap, toilet paper (not all places would provide it and we were glad to not have to go out and purchase them for the days we were there). The bed was very comfortable and sleep came easy. there are some trails close by to walk and even just walking down the road is pretty easy with so little traffic. We loved the cozy feeling of the house.

Sawdust City Haus

Great little house within a short distance of everything you could need (food, restaurants, supplies). Loved the hot tub and sauna after a long walk in the woods with the dog. Devon was a very attentive host and had the house warm and lit up for our check in. Brought our own firewood and enjoyed some bevies around the fir pit in the front yard. Didn’t see any deer but that was ok, considering we had our dog with us. Great spot for a romantic getaway after the hustle of the holidays

Not as accurate as advertised. It is not "steps away from the water". It is DRIVING distance from a public launch with a private dock that is for the residents of the island across the way, and no parking unless you are a resident of the island. It's probably about a 20 minute walk. The pictures in the listing are definetly misleading. They are not near the property nor steps away from it. You need to be prepared to drive to a public beach if you want to enjoy the water. I would definitely say that this is a cottage for a winter escape not exactly the best summer get away.
