Nancy and Greg have turned the loft above the garage into a cozy getaway with all the comforts of home. The beds are comfy. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking any meal. They were responsive to all our questions and needs. If you are wanting some peace and tranquility, I would highly recommend this lakeside loft.

A piece o’ heaven
Absolutely lovely. Tranquil. Zen. Nature’s paradise. If you enjoy “cottaging” with all the comforts and amenities of home, you must visit this piece o’heaven. We had a wonderful experience! Our hosts were so amazing-lovely people actually-ultra organized, attentive, incredibly accommodating, eager to help and offer up anything they could provide or do just to make our stay perfect! Check out their property description and their list of amenities. It’s all in black and white and they delivered in colour! Lots of little extras and details that many hosts just can’t be bothered with. Very clean, renovated and ultra equipped cottage loft. Our hosts were super easy to reach and quick to respond. Anything you might need or want on a cottage stay was there to enjoy. We had a stress free and thoroughly enjoyable vaca. Can’t wait to visit again!

Very enjoyable private anniversary getaway, with space to just hang at the lakefront loft and make s’mores at the fire pit, but close enough to go into town to restaurants and see live shows.

Perfect cottage getaway!
This cottage is the perfect place for a calming retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The lake is small and calm with only a few other properties surrounding it. The unit is fully stocked and kept very clean and tidy. Nancy and Greg were great hosts, and very generous at doing everything they could to make sure our stay was amazing.
We will definitely be back in the future!

Beautiful spot
Nancy and Greg have made a beautiful loft on their peaceful property. This was the first time booking through VRBO and we were thrilled with the accommodation. The hosts are a very sweet couple, very friendly and thoughtful, they left us a check-in gift of two cans of beer from Muskoka Brewery and a chocolate bar. The loft was stocked with everything you could possibly need not only in the kitchen but for your comfort for sleeping as well.( I had noticed a whitenoise machine in the one beside table) We throughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely rebook in the future. Thank you Nancy and Greg!

A piece of total relaxation
We were looking for a quiet place to unwind and relax. This property was everything we needed. With fantastic hosts and a beautiful small lake, the days and sunsets were nature at its best. Nancy and Greg were there if anything was needed along with great suggestions for things in the area. Close to two small towns with plenty to offer for daytrips. A wonderful market close by to purchase lots of fresh foods and gifts. We came home totally relaxed and recharged.

Greg and Nancy have thought of every little detail to ensure the comfort of their guests and gave us a tour when we checked in. They even have a record player with great 80s records, playing cards, DVDs, etc. I would definitely recommend this property for a couples getaway or with kids.

Fantastic getaway
I can't say enough good things about the our stay in the Loft at Lake. the cottage is renovated, impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. Everything was thoughtfully prepared for our comfort - bedding, kitchen, towels - even marshmallows set was provided for our evenings at bonfire :). We got a very warm welcome from Nancy and Greg and they were very kind and willing to accommodate us at best. The cottage has a private space to the lake and you can enjoy an amazing sunset over the lake. The lake is clean and warm, the pine forest gave so much fresh air! I found that everything was better than in was advertised. Definitely will go back again. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay Nancy and Greg!

The loft is so comfortable and clean and has everything you need. Amazing swimming off of your own dock and I loved having my own private fire pit (and stocked wood shed!)

This property was beautiful- we went with our two girls who are 3 and 6 years old. They had a great time playing upstairs in the loft, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’d need to feel right at home. The cottage was clean and very organized. Even had air conditioning so the upstairs didn’t get too hot!
Perfect fire pit for roasting s’mores and the small dock and sand area was great for the kids to play and cool off.
The location is local where everything in town is 15 minutes. Easy drive & both Grey & Nancy are super welcoming and helpful!

An amazing place to stay !
My husband and I and our 10 year old son thoroughly enjoyed our time at lakeside loft. The property and the space is beautiful and looked even better than the pictures! It was very clean and had everything we needed for our vacation.
Nancy and Greg were wonderful hosts, easy to deal with and very prompt/ attentive to our requests.
The beds were comfy, the swimming and the kayaking was excellent! And no motor boats! We enjoyed the lake, the area and our nightly bonfires.
We did find the WiFi a little slow and phone sometimes spotty depending where you were, but we knew that going in from your description and it was totally fine.
Thanks so much, we’ll be back!
