This cottage is very clean and comfortable.The road is narrow and very little room to turn arround so if you plan on bringing a boat that needs to be tied to a dock then I suggest renting a slip at the local marina. All in all a beautiful spot for some rest and relaxation.

This is a very relaxing site on Lake Sturgeon. The large main room has a great view of the lake, which is just a few steps away. The house is stocked with plenty of kitchen supplies, plus many games and movies if you're stuck inside. The host, Stephen, is a warm and friendly man who will make things right if you should have any problems.

Fun Stay

Overall, myself and my sibling's had a great stay. The inside of the cottage is well maintained, the two bedrooms are a good size, the living area and kitchen was great for cooking and hanging out. The proximity to both Bobcaygeon and Lindsey was convenient. The view from the deck is stunning, the perfect place for coffee and meals. There are a few things we wish had been made clear in the booking/would have liked to see improved upon.The cottage was cleanish, sheets had been washed and dishes were clean however both bathrooms had hair and bugs in the shower and didn’t look like they’ve been cleaned in a while. Floors had been vacuumed before arrival but the cottage was incredibly dusty and most windowsills were filled with dead bugs and debris. The host was also unresponsive for the entire length of our stay, I messaged multiple times asking about checkout procedures and if the water is safe to drink and they never responded. Things to know prior to booking that aren’t in the posting: There is NO dock on site. There is an old boat launch, however half of it is broken and you will need to wade into the water. Water shoes are highly recommend. You are not allowed any camp fires on site regardless of the fire rating and there’s a house rule that you can’t even burn mosquito coils which makes sitting outside at night impossible. This was disappointing as there’s a beautiful deck but my group was getting munched on too much to stay outside in the evening.

Nice place - not worth dealing with the host

The building was as pictured and suitable to relax in but overall we had a very negative experience. The sofa bed in the living room was unusable and we had to bring and use our own mattress for our stay. Stephen’s communications with us were erratic, unintelligible, and, in several instances, extremely hostile (e.g. blowing up personal phone lines & refusing to write using official VRBO channels). The house rules were innumerable and made enjoying our stay very difficult. Stephen was difficult to reach and refused to answer questions, and he harassed us aggressively after our stay because of some miscommunications over the house rules.

We had a great stay, place was clean, well stocked, everything worked perfectly. Beautiful views of the lake, very private, didn't see another soul aside from those on the water. Amazing price for being so close to Toronto.

Simple and fun

Had a wonderful time at Stephen’s cottage for Canada Day weekend! We had everything we needed and more for a great stay. The dock was great to sit and fish off of during the day and the views off the deck were incredible. Swimming by the dock is fine too as long as you’re careful on the rocks. The pull out couch in the living room was broken but we had brought an air mattress so it wasn’t a problem and there is another pull out couch downstairs that works.

Very bad rating for th Property Owner, Stephen

At first I want to mention that for a question sent about 5 months ago the owner replied only two days before. The house rules were not displayed (sitting under the reviews notebook), and were not clear regarding the garbage placings. We had to spend our own Gigabytes (more than 30GB) for the use of TV and entertaining programs. Their staff of CDs were very old and not updated at all. There was not a coffee machine and we had to go 15 km away to get to Tim Hortons everyday. And the last one is that Stephen, on the day we left called me several time and kept harassing me for non existent problems, like garbage placing (just to let you know, we separated garbage regularly, but didn't sent them to a box that we didn't understand at the handwriting rules that were not clear as I mentioned above) and making up some stories that cannot happen in one or two hours after we left, like racoons (they didn't mess any of the organic we left for three days outside, but well locked in the box, so how it happened in the daylight in only two hours?). Definitely Stephen, the owner is a bad host!

Property at the end of a narrow right of way (watch out rounding the final very steep curve into the parking area). A navigation system will not lead you there. You need directions from the owner. The location is pleasing once you find and access the place. Fantastic view, very quiet. You can swim or kayak from the dock. The kitchen is well equipped, comfortable bed and nice linens. No wifi, but an extensive DVD collection and many board games. Did not view lower level.
