Not clean and unprofessional
I paid a lot of money to stay in what I thought would be a great place over the Christmas and NYE with my family. I spent the first 24 hours cleaning from top to bottom and when I complained to the manager they said they would come back to me after they spoke to the cleaner. This never happened. Very clear that this is treated as a party house instead of a great property that it could be.

Beautiful stay
My family and I rented this cottage for 5 days and had a great stay! This will have been my second stay at this cottage! The host responds quickly and is very helpful. Large cottage, with lots of places to sleep! This waterfront cottage is a great place to stay! We will be back next summer!! Thanks Luke!

Beautiful Private Property Conveniently Located
This cottage is in a wonderful location! It's just 10 minutes from Barrie, but feels very secluded. There's a sandy beach that has limited privacy, but also a rocky beach that's completely private if that's what you're seeking. The grounds are gorgeous! The cottage itself is a fabulous size, has a great layout, is fully equipped with everything you need and feels very homey. If you're looking for a super lux experience, this isn't it, but it was perfect for our family.

Shanty Bay
cottage could use a good cleaning (if not a sprucing up), especially the Jacuzzi (unusable); beach clean up after a storm was a problem. Amenities and overall property met expectations. Host was responsive and accommodating.

Amazing
Luke’s cottage was perfect for our friends weekend away. The house was clean and had everything we needed, With lots of rooms for larger groups! walk down a few steps to the water where we spent most of our time. The water was amazing and having the kayaks available was a bonus. Luke was very fast at returning any questions we had. Would 10/10 recommend this place
