We arrived to the cottage to find a clean, well maintained and spacious cottage for our multi generational family of 7. Even though this is an older cottage, there have been many updates that made our stay very comfortable: well equipped kitchen with modern cupboards and counter tops, newer fridge, stove and microwave, coffee maker and a nice a stone tile floor, large dining table in a dining/den area, new mattresses on the beds in 3 good sized bedrooms. The large outside deck was secure and gave the 3 kids lots of room to play safely with all the toys and kiddie cars provided by the owner while we grilled dinners on a large, new BBQ. We ate lunch and supper on the deck on a large deck table and there were several deck chairs along the deck to sit in while the cooks prepared meals. The grounds were terraced with wide steps to allow easy safe access to the waterfront. Our kids were in the water all day as the adults all had lots of deck chairs to sit in close to the water action. Highlights of our week were an easy and reasonable fishing boat rental from Muskoka Shore Cottages just down the road, a tubing afternoon courtesy of the friendly neighbour and a trip to a waterfall short distance away. The directions were well laid out in th cottage manual which was a comprehensive guide provided by the owner to cover any situation imaginable including phone numbers to reach the owner in case of an emergency. And we had perfect weather...sunshine everyday with no mosquitoes!!!! It was a wonderful week.
