It's a great location; amenities were great - however:1. Extra blankets in each room were needed in April;2. Cheap pillows and mattresses are for cheap places and not high end places like Muskoka Cottages. The small pillows and cheap mattresses are not comfortable especially considering the cost of the rent and extra charges (sleep country has great mattresses for guests!)
