Lovely Cottage Escape
Stunning property- unspoiled natural beauty and a classic Muskoka combination of trees, rocks, and water. Lovely views from the cozy, comfortable cottage, which had everything we needed for the week. Great lake for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Small sandy beach was a nice bonus and would be great for little kids. Excellent communication from owner throughout. Overall, a wonderful place, especially if you are looking for a true cottage experience!

Adults Beware
I went to the Lake of Bays with my family shortly after the Canadian / US border reopened. We are a family of 5, but we are all adults (Ages 23 and up). While we were very excited about our stay, we were a bit shocked when we walked in, and here’s a few reasons why. Cons: No dishwasher No carpets or rugs No use of the indoor fireplace Children’s things / toys exposed in the corner of cabin and outside Very small and outdated TV (approx. size of a laptop) Had to bring our own pillows/sheets/comforters - this was a hardship Dining room table has 2 chairs with backs, the rest is benches only - fine for children, tough for adults Picnic tables outside unable to use (poor condition) Outdated furniture / lack of furniture - really not enough seating for the amount of people they quote can stay there Extremely small bedrooms (only 1 person can fit in bedroom at a time) Not accessible outside - this was fine for us but beware if you have any older guests Cobwebs everywhere (clean otherwise) Cabin is considerably smaller than the pictures appear, would be helpful to have sq footage listed Pros: Water cooler Fully stocked kitchen Beautiful Views Nice dock & sandy beach Nice campfire Use of canoe and other outdoor activities Owner very responsive Enjoyed our time!

Lovely Spot on Lake of Bays
Our family loved our stay at Sheldon's place on Lake of Bays. The views were stunning, the dock was perfect for relaxing, swimming or catching small mouth bass, the sandy beach entry was perfect for our small children (2 and 5) to play all afternoon. The cottage itself was extremely clean and comfortable. It was well stocked with everything you need. The kitchen, dining and living areas had fantastic views of the lake. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Relaxing week at the cottage
We had a great week at the cottage. The dock gets full sun all day and there’s a small area to walk into the water which would be great for kids. The fire pit is close to the water so you have a beautiful view of the lake fireside. The cottage was very clean and has a great lay out. The wifi connection was pretty good - I was streaming the Eurocup all week with no problems. It was so quiet and we didn’t see anyone from the neighbouring cottages. This is a wonderful place to just relax.
