Excellent fishing trip

The cabin was spacious and very comfortable. This has got to be the most well provisioned cabin I have ever stayed in. I have stayed in many different cabins from gatlinburg to Minnesota and I have never seen a more well prepared cabin than this one. Five stars for sure. It has a rustic yet beautiful feel to it. Will definitely return at some point.

Fantastic Location

Beautiful log cabin, very well stocked kitchen, great fishing; unfortunate lack of deep cleaning with resulting mice infestation. Could do with a clear out of broken furniture, out of date food, and an updated VRBO listing of what is really available (ie. equipped with wifi and useful winch to bring goods up from the dock but NO linens/blankets/towels, and only 3 adult life jackets).

3rd year in paradise

Our family enjoyed another amazing week at Darwin's cottage this August. We love the views, peace and quiet, privacy and opportunity to really immerse ourselves in nature. Wildlife this year was particularly plentiful including beaver, mink, a bobcat, porcupines and all kinds of birds and fish. We counted 69 species in all. We hope to be back again for our 4th year. Thanks for being a great host Darwin!

Great Getaway

Perfect spot on McGregor Bay. Gorgeous views, incredible scenery, fabulous paddling, great hiking (ok, a little bushwhacking!). Kayaks, canoe, paddleboard were all lots of fun. Rustic cottage, exactly as advertised — and the dishwasher was an excellent and much-appreciated luxury. We’ll be back!

Second Year on Jumbo Island

We had a wonderful vacation at Darwin's cottage for the 2nd year in a row! Our extended family of 7 had so much fun kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, sitting by the fire and generally just enjoying being in this special place. The view from the front of the cottage is truly spectacular! Wildlife was abundant! We saw deer, porcupine, beavers, bald eagles, mink and so many fish, birds, frogs and turtles. We felt immersed in nature and were so grateful for another wonderful week! Thank you Darwin! Tina, Sid, Alex, Anita, Simon, Julia and Nick

Paradise in McGregor Bay

This is a very unique and exceptional property—isolated, large, clean, well stocked and full of history and character in every corner of the wonderful cottage. Due to Covid the lake is unusually quiet (60%+ not able to make it to their cottages from the US). You rarely hear a boat or see anyone on the water. We kayaked, fished (lots of delicious bass to eat), hiked the island, sat on the large dock, swam and enjoyed a very peaceful getaway to an amazing place in the north (4.5 hours from midtown Toronto with one stop). We only had one rainy day and enjoyed the screened in porch for quiet time reading and drawing the local landscape. Everyone was super friendly and always ready to help or answer questions —thank you Darwin, Murray and your staff at Still Water (water taxi and boat rental). We saw a large snapping turtle, eagles, deer, mink, beavers, ducks, geese, birds, lots of fish everywhere —and no bears! We can’t wait to return next year and feel so grateful we were able to book our week in paradise this summer.

Wonderful week on Jumbo Island

We rented Darwin’s cottage for a week in August and had a wonderful time. We were 6 family members ranging from 21 to 70 and everyone loved our week there. The highlights included kayaking, canoeing, swimming, the amazing view from the fire pit area, jumping off Fat Man’s Belly rock, the lovely screened in porch for meals and the fabulous fire place. Also Murray provided excellent service for transporting us by water taxi to and from the island. We loved it so much we have booked again for next summer.

Best Family Vacation!

This was the best family vacation to date! Darwin was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He responded to all of my questions in a timely manner. Darwin’s cottage by far exceeding our expectations. The views are insanely gorgeous, the cottage was very clean, spacious, rustic, and also very gorgeous. There is tons of dock space and we spent all day everyday on the water. There’s 3 single man kayaks, one two man kayak, 3 canoes and a paddle board. My 7 and 5 year old learned how to kayak and paddle board and are now asking for that for their birthdays! There is also cliff jumping which was great! There is so much to do and see up there. It was sad leaving after a week; we definitely weren’t ready to leave. Thanks again for everything Darwin and sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Great week in a cabin on a lake

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful week in this special cabin in an incredibly beautiful corner of Ontario. We had a fantastic time - we loved the beautiful setting and the warmth hospitality of Darwin and his family. There were so many highlights it is hard to know where to start. We came away from our trip feeling so relaxed and grateful to live in such a beautiful country.
