Lovely spot to stay on Brandy Lake
We were first guests to new owners at this property and the owners are wonderfully responsive, kind, and accommodating. Any questions and needs are quickly responded to and addressed professionally. Check in and check out are a breeze! The cottage is in a great location on Brandy Lake. The lake itself is relatively calm and quiet and seems to be mostly populated by owning families and renters to very respectful groups. With two fire pits, a dock, a great deck, and perfect sunset lake views the house has a lot to offer. Bedrooms are on the small side but our group of 4 adults (and for one night 3 tweens/teen) and dog were very happy. The only point lost is that Brandy itself as a lake is not as clean as some of the larger ones but the cottage is so close to Bala and Port Carling that it was very easy to get out to enjoy both Rosseau and Muskoka Lakes during our time there. We greatly enjoyed the stay and renting the place from Madison. Thanks so much for making this possible for us!
