Relaxing atmosphere, booked the 2 bedroom cabin, convenience of having a kitchen. Kayaks, canoes and paddle boat available. Beautiful lake view, water is shallow up to almost the need of the dock, good for swimming. Near Algonquin Park West gate and Huntsville

Had a blast

Great stay. Nicolle was very nice, Tucker (their dog) was so gentle and behaved. They offered paddle boats, kayaks and a canoe for us so we went out in the morning before we left. Check out was 10am, but they didn’t rush us out. I will probably come back again this summer!

Wonderful stay

It was a wonderful 2 nights stay. Rooms were clean and nice. Nicolle was an awesome host. She was very friendly and accommodative. She suggested some good places for watching fall colors. Lake view from the room was amazing. We could see reflections of colorful trees in the gorgeous lake alongside as it was a sunny day.

Very nice property with many lakeside amenities. Canoes, kayaks & paddle board you can take out. We took advantage of the fire ring in the evenings. Comfy bed. Very clean room with fridge and coffee maker. Shower water temp did vary and is my only complaint. Other than that had a nice relaxing stay!

Dear Bruce, Thank you immensely for hosting us. Our stay at your place was an absolute delight, and we cherished every moment. The nearby towns of Dwight and Bracebridge were captivating, each offering its own unique charm and beauty. Your guidance on our tour was invaluable and greatly enhanced our experience. Our final stop at Port Carling was particularly memorable. The route itself was breathtaking, with nature's splendor truly taking center stage. The two days we spent in Huntsville were equally wonderful, surrounded by such serene and picturesque landscapes. We are deeply appreciative of your hospitality and the effort you put into making our visit so special. The natural beauty of the area has left a lasting impression on us, and we already find ourselves wishing we could stay there indefinitely. Once again, thank you for being such a gracious host. We look forward to visiting again soon. Warm regards, Sunghyun & Tarj
