Wonderful week away in Bobcaygeon
Great cottage! Well stocked of the essential kitchen items and outdoor activities including canoes, kayas etc. I really love the setup in the backyard with the water access especially with the little "beach" entrance to it. The bunkies were a nice addition as it is added privacy away from the main cottage if need be(ie taking care of a small child or a movie night without disturbing early sleepers). Mark is a great host - very thorough and responsive to communication. He also seems like he genuinly wants feedback so he can further improve the place, which is refreshing to see. I would absolutely love to come back to the bass Lake retreat. Thanks for hosting us, Mark!

We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of kayaks and canoes were so comfy. Lake is calm and quiet. Comfy beds. Outdoor grills were fun and great. Internet worked great and Netflix and prime all set up. Enjoyed our stay and the outdoor picnic tables were great for our birthday party. Frogs and chipmunks made for lots of entertainment for the boys.

Mark's place is a lovely peaceful place to stay. A very beautiful and quiet area. Their home is spotless and well supplied with everything. The kayaks and canoes were a wonderful addition for our visit as we utilized them many time during our stay. Loved the bunkies! My grandson throughly enjoyed the opportunity to sleep in the upper bunk of the bunky with his mom. Mark thank you, our stay at your home was a wonderful experience for all of us.

Family Getaway
Great location for a family getaway. Cottage was well equipped and clean. The flat top grill was amazing, especially for breakfasts. Did not like the fact that we had to make a trip to town to top off the propane tanks before leaving. I’ve rented many places and this was a first for me. Loved having the bunkies, it was a great experience for the younger generation. The new couch was lovely. I have to admit that it made me nervous, especially with having young ones around. I cringed every time someone sat on it. The lake was beautiful, not too many motorized boats. Ideal location for the kids to practice their paddling skills. Neighbours were friendly and informative with local activities and lake information. Mark was quick to respond to questions and very pleasant to deal with. Would book again in the future.

Great family vacation
We had a great stay at this cottage as a family. The seating outside was wonderful to enjoy watching people swim and to enjoy our meals together. The kitchen was well stocked and didn't need to bring anything. Lots of dishes for a a family of 12. Lots sleeping available and comfortable beds. Mark was a very responsive to any questions we had prior to the stay and during the stay. Would highly recommend this accommodation.

Fun weekend with friends
Property was clean and as showed in the pictures. Mark was friendly and was extremely helpful upon checking to answer any questions I had opening the cottage. The cottage itself is very close to neighbouring cottages, being right on the lake sound carry’s easily. Some of the beds only hold up to 140lbs, meaning if we had any more people up for the weekend, there would have been no more room to sleep. Would be a absolutely fantastic place for a family to stay!

Fantastic stay
We had a fabulous time at Mark and Cate’s cottage. Cate was there to check us in and give us the run down. She also called a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Mark actually went out of his way to return a lost item to us after we had left. The cottage itself was clean and comfortable. All the rooms had fans which kept the temperature reasonable. An extra fan for the main living area would be nice but we used the one from the main bedroom. The cottage was just big enough for our large group of 9 adults, 4 kids and a crated puppy. Two of the kids slept in pack n’ plays which we were able to squeeze into one of the rooms. Our favourite part was definitely the outside. The huge deck for outdoor eating, shallow beach for the kids to play and boats to explore the lake were a big perk for us. The one thing we would change is to have a larger living space, but honestly how can you complain when everything else is so perfect? This really is a gem of a cottage and we’re hoping to return again in the near future! Thanks for a great stay Mark and Cate!

Bass Lake 2022
This cottage was in a excellent location and very well maintained. Mark the host went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Communication with him was easy and reliable. It was nice for my young children to play in the sandy shallow water beside the dock. Having 2 clean and cute bunkies made our sleeping accommodations very spacious. We never felt crowded even with 10 people! What a fantastic experience at this northern getaway.

Family getaway
View from the deck/dock is amazing, great quiet place for a vacation. Keep in mind the water is shallow even off the dock which was fine for us with small kids. The kayaks provided were great as the water was calm and great for water activities. The living room furniture is a little on the old side and a little tougher to get out of if you have older family members. It is cottage country so make sure to pack the bug spray. Mark was very responsive and the place had everything you needed for cooking. You can get some great sunset pics from the dock at night

My family and I had a wonderful time at the cottage. The lake was beautiful, cottage had everything we could possibly need and the fishing was great! Mark was very nice and came out to hook up a generator on our last day because the power had went out but it didn't ruin our stay one bit! We will definitely be back 🙂

Serenity on the lake
This beautiful cabin is a hidden gem. From the misty glass lake in the mornings to the cozy fires at night, it was exactly as we hoped it would be. Super relaxing and peaceful, even our pets were totally chilled out! Even though we brought everything we could think of, Mark still had everything you could possibly think of! May I just add how nice it was that the cabin was in fact exactly as shown in the pictures, and very clean!

Cottage review:
This is a lovely property and the surrounding neighbours were all very friendly and welcoming. The only cons were that my husband and I experienced some electrical issues in bunkie house #1 after our first night. Not the owners fault as he lives quite a distance away and recently had some electrical work done in there (that probably wasn’t done properly). We figured out a work around for the remainder of our stay and hopefully he will get that same electrician in to reevaluate his previous work. Also, the alarm for the sub pump went off on us towards the end of our stay, forcing us to restrict our water usage for the last 2 or so days. I’m assuming that this was only a misfortunate problem for us though since we were probably the last renters of the season. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves though and would happily rebook again!

Great time at Mark’s
Mark’s cottage is exactly as described and very well equipped. I can’t imagine needing anything that wasn’t there. The water is quite shallow, so great swimming for little kids but less so for adults. We all enjoyed ourselves. Perfect for multi-generational families. Better cell phone reception would be good - but relaxing without it.

Great stay on Bass Lake
This property was the perfect getaway for our 2 families. The nine of us stayed comfortably for one week and enjoyed every minute of it. Excellent lake views enjoyed by the campfire or huge deck. The kids loved fishing from the swim out dock and all of the kayaks and canoes. Would definitely stay here again. Fully stocked kitchen and plenty of comfortable beds. Close to Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls for day trips. Great time had by all.
