Stayed here a few days with some friends and had a wonderful time. The area is private but only a short drive into town. Lots of games and movies which was great as we got a bit of rain. We also enjoyed kayaking down the river.

Staying at this gem of a cottage was easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Key information was provided in advance and there are plenty of signs and labels within the cottage to make it easy to navigate. The property is great - a large deck, relaxing hot tub and spacious dock for those that want to relax. If you are looking for something more active, the river is perfect for SUP and kayaking. Highly recommend staying here, the hosts' thoughtfulness will ensure your stay is amazing.

Check in was smooth and the host was great about notification and instructions. The cottage was well maintained and had direct access off the dock to the river. We had a fire ban and could not use the fire pit, but they supplied many games and movies that we could use and keep the family entertained in the evening. It also gave more time for the hot tub! It was a great experience. We spent 4 nights here. The location is not far from town and we went to explore the near by shops and ice cream options. We would stay here again!

Had a great stay with my family at this rustic cottage. The property was one of the most private ones that we saw from the river. Check-in was a breeze, the kitchen was well-equipped, bedrooms were comfortable, and outdoor amenities (hot tub, fire pit, canoe/kayaks) were great. Burnt River is great for swimming, and kayaking. I’d definitely recommend this cottage to others looking for a relaxing get away.

This cozy cottage is a great place to stay! My friends and I loved staying here, the water was so wonderful to swim in and we enjoyed kayaking and playing games at night! The only reason I did not give a full 5 stars is that we needed to bring our own linens which was difficult as we all flew in to get here and there were some very minor details missing. Kuddos to the hosts, they were very prompt to reply to messages. I would definitely recommend this place to stay at for a relaxing rustic cottage weekend.

Great location along a quiet and private section of the Burnt River, incredibly peaceful and relaxing listening to the birds on arrival.Cottage was very comfortable with great air conditioning for the hot summer weeks and we all slept great. We have a very nervous and reactive dog and appreciated the private nature of the property. Water was great and one of the best spots along the river as far as we could see!Easy 15 minute drive to Fenelon Falls was perfect for many lunch options etc and a great home base to explore the region!

Lovely views
We really enjoyed the location and property. Lots of features and amenities exactly as advertised. Great hosts who were responsive and polite. However, when we first checked in there was dog fur from a previous guest over all of the couches, floors etc. and we found used (smoked) joints inside the cottage. It wasn’t cleaned very well between our stay and the previous guests. We also found the back door screen off of the door, leaning against the back wall, so we could not have the back door open to let the breeze in without also having all the bugs come in. Hopefully this was already known by the owners and I won’t be getting blamed for that. The propane tank for the BBQ was empty, though they do leave spare ones on site for guests to swap out.

Perfect Fall Getaway
We spent three nights in this charming, rustic cottage and loved every minute of it! We felt right at home as the cottage had all the amenities that we needed for a peaceful and relaxing fall mini vacation. A large waterfront property with a stunning view of the river. Many hours were spent dockside enjoying the fresh air and the scenery. Can’t wait to visit again!
