Our stay at Steve's cottage last week was nothing short of magical. The highlight, without a doubt, was the **absolutely spectacular sunset view over Penn Lake, right from the private dock. Winding down each evening watching the sky explode in color over the calm water was an unforgettable experience – a view truly rare to find and worth the trip alone!The lake itself felt alive and welcoming. We loved watching the big fish swimming right under the deck and were charmed daily by a sweet family of ducks cruising peacefully along the shore. The sight of a huge pike lurking nearby sparked our fishing enthusiasm (though sadly, our gear wasn't quite up to the challenge this time – next visit we'll come prepared!).The cottage itself was perfect. Steve has clearly put thought into making guests comfortable. It was exceptionally well-stocked with everything we could possibly need for our week-long stay, from kitchen essentials to the big collection of good old movies. It truly felt like a home away from home.Location is a major plus! The proximity to Huntsville meant easy access to groceries, shops, and restaurants whenever needed. Even better, being so close to the Algonquin Park hiking trails allowed us to effortlessly combine serene lakeside relaxation with adventurous wilderness exploration – the best of both worlds! Definitely, we’ll come back in the fall.

Our Happy Place

We have been coming here for years and it always feels like coming home! We especially love to sit on the screened porch and play games. The dock is great and there is always some shade for those of us who burn. This year there were paddleboards and the "kids" (who are all 30 something) had a blast!

Most amazing cottage!

This is our second time at this property. Our first visit was during winter (to enjoy winter sports at Arrowhead), and this time we visited by early summer with the whole family.The cottage is beautiful and super cozy for couples and larger families alike. We had a great time enjoying the outdoors, canoeing and fishing by the lake. The hosts are also the best. I have a feeling that visiting Idlehour will become a family tradition for us!

Serenity on Peninsula Lake

Once again, we really enjoyed our stay at the cottage on PenLake. It was nice seeing the lake in a different season. It’s a perfect place to be surrounded by nature, and a beautiful lake for a quiet paddle. Steve was very responsive to any questions we had. thanks again to Steve and his family for sharing their place. Judy and James

Great Cottage and host

We stayed at the property in late April to allow us to explore Algonquin Park for wildlife photography. The cottage was perfect; great location between Algonquin Park and Huntsville. The cottage was just as described. After one night we felt totally at home. Steve was great with communication and making sure it was easy to just relax without worrying about anything.

Amazing Cosy Family Cottage

Steve was a great communicator, and the cottage was beautiful. The location on the lake had no one nearby and was great for walking the dog.I will absolutely book this cottage again for a trip with my buddies, but I think also for a trip with my with kids. Thanks again Steve for letting us stay in this beautiful family cottage!

Tranquil cottage in lovely surroundings

Beautiful, relaxing location with excellent views of the frozen lake and forest. Large and well-equipped lake house. Easy access to the water. Very secluded and private lot, yet only 10 minutes from Huntsville. Photos don’t do it justice.

March Break Retreat

The perfect getaway! Everything about our stay was great! The cottage was spotless, more than enough space, and each room had it’s own theme with a warm and cozy vibe! We enjoyed skating on the lake, long walks, and just sitting out on the frozen lake enjoying the quiet and sunshine! Our host was very prompt, helpful and very accommodating. Would love to return again!

Great Getaway

This was an amazing cottage, the facilities were clean and fully stocked. The lake and property were beautiful and it is located close to both Arrowhead provincial park and Algonquin provincial park. Steve was a great host and communicated effectively, the cottage was also very intentionally outfitted. I would recommend it to anyone booking and will be sure to return!

Quaint cottage in a great location

Rustic cottage in a perfect location. 15 minute drive to Huntsville and about 25 minutes to Algonquin Park. Has everything you need including lots of firewood, a well equipped kitchen, and a BBQ. Could use a dishwasher and a TV station or two would be nice for the rainy days. View of the lake is great and it was very quiet. Stairs could be challenging for some people. Steve was quick to respond to questions which was an added bonus. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a real cottage experience close to amenities and the park.
