We, along with our visitors from the UK, had a truly wonderful time at this beautiful riverfront cottage. Nestled among tall trees, the property offers plenty of shade—even on the hottest summer days—and the calm, peaceful river made for an incredibly relaxing setting. Our days were spent either unwinding in the screened-in area, lounging on the dock, or enjoying the water with the canoe and paddleboards. Inside, the cottage is thoughtfully laid out and spacious, allowing everyone to enjoy their own quiet time when needed.While we mostly stayed in to soak up the tranquility, we did went out one evening for dinner at the Silver Birch restaurant—which we highly recommend!George, thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us. It was the perfect retreat, and we really appreciated every moment spent here with our friends and family.

Beautiful property on the river!

Plenty of space inside and out. Nice screened in porch to escape mosquitoes in the even. We used the tandem kayak to paddle up the river. Good sized dock and a fit pit near the beach, both with lots of seating. Peaceful location. A turtle came up and lay eggs in the beach one morning! Would visit again.

Great property!

There were 6 of us for a cozy cottage stay. We experienced a full sunny day perfect for swimming and some rainy ones perfect for fires and hot tubs. Kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. We'd happily be back again!

Okay but could use some work

1st off Host was very responsive and great at returning calls. House could use some work. Paint peeling, washing machine needs a good cleaning and finishings need work. Hot Tub was clean. Could really use new bedding, more pillows and more towels. On the whole it had a great yard on the river and it had tons of room for 4 adults and 2 young kids.

Loved everthing about this property. Sitting on the dock with my first coffee of the day waiting for the resident muskrat to swim by; doing morning qi gong in full view of the brilliant fall colours; canoeing down the river to the old mill and dam; bundling up with a glass of wine on the deck; enjoying our evening meal by candlelight in the screened in porch........

Great property but…

3/5 stars. The property and river front is absolutely gorgeous with fun water activities (kayak, canoe, paddle boats, tanning deck, fire pit). The water was great for swimming and there were shockingly no bugs at night. Inside the cottage was also decently equipped and didn’t run into any issues beside bad water drainage in the shower and sinks. Unfortunately though, the owner has noise detectors (‘minut’) inside and outside the home so any sound detection above a certain decibel will trigger the sound detector and send you harassing/threatening text messages, emails, VRBO notifications and calls. The neighbours were constantly complaining to the owner about any noise, even starting the complaints before 9pm…however noting that the bylaw dictates no noise only after 11pm. Unfortunately these constant calls, text, emails, calls and VRBO notifications put a bit of a damper on the evening mood since I felt like I couldn’t even have a loud and engaging conversation without setting off the device and getting threatened to have OPP raid the cottage for chatting with my family. *I don’t suggest booking this cottage if you have loud kids or enjoy music or are a loud talker*

Perfect getaway

This was such a great place for a mini family getaway! I am originally from the area (but live in the US now) and I rent a cottage on the water every summer so I can visit friends and family. This cottage was by far the best one yet! The layout, the amenities, the river, the hot tub, the communication with the property manager…. Everything was excellent! I will definitely be back next summer.

Best cottage vacation

This cottage check off all the things for a fun filled little vacation. We went friends and young kids. The location is less than 2 hours from Toronto. George was a great host. Always replied instantly. Accommodated a few of our requests which made our stay even more enjoyable. The cottage itself was clean and in line with the pictures. Everyone just stayed outdoors in the backyard, on the deck, at the beachy area (this is pretty much the only cottage that had sand where you could just walk off into the water), having fun with canoes and kayaks (all provided) and the large gazebo on the deck. We did not feel the need to explore any surrounding trails, parks etc. The cottage has everything that you need including large driveway/parking, living room, dining room, bed rooms, mud room, accessible garage, backyard, firepit, lower deck with gas drill, upper deck with gazebo, beach, deck, canoes (life jackets). It was a perfect cottage vacation. Will definitely return and highly likely go to other locations with George.

An absolutely incredible vacation stay

I had an amazing experience renting this property. The rooms were spacious, there was enough space to accommodate a family of 5 comfortably, the views were absolutely incredible, and the overall experience was just magnificent. The host recommended Scoopz ice cream shop which we had to visit and my group absolutely enjoyed every bite of the ice cream. In the mornings, we walked down to the dock with a cup of coffee, fresh air and it was truly a relaxing experience. The host was easily accessible and the house rules were very clear and detailed. It was very much appreciated. We definitely plan to make this our family vacation spot for future summers. Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed staying at this rental property.
