Overall it is a very nice cottage, with good location and road access. Our family of 9 adults and two children under 10 enjoyed our stay. We offer the following additional comments pro and con for your consideration.
Pro:
• Easy parking for four vehicles
• Nice view from the house and balcony,
• Beautiful landscaping,
• Dock large and very stable,
• Good fishing,
• Fire pit was well located and very useful,
• Reliable wifi,
• Lots of tvs,
• Comfortable furniture,
• Nice bedding,
• Ping pong table was great fun for the kids (and adults),
• Paddle boards were very enjoyable;
• Beautiful view of the stars on clear nights,
Con:
• Dryer broke down on the Saturday a few days after we arrived. The repairman did not arrive by Wednesday, the day we left,
• Kitchen & dining area are rather cramped if all 6 bedrooms occupied,
• The dock is relatively far & pathway quite sloped away from the house, making it difficult to access for older people;
• There is some erosion around the path to the lake about half-way down with water seeping through, making it necessary to walk on the stones to the side of the path which can be unstable,
• Garbage dump is really far (~30 minutes drive).
• No adult life jackets,
• Limited thermostat control and cold basement rooms,
• Some things seemed to be in disrepair (ie several broken Muskoka chairs at fire pit, dehumidifier in basement was never running, the dryer as noted, canoe paddles)
