Tranquil Waterfront Getaway
Tranquil w/front cottage with 4 bdrms + pull-out couch. Conveniently located minutes from d/t Huntsville yet tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood. Plenty of room inside and out to enjoy the water or just lounging about. Fully stocked rec room for those “inside-recess” days with plenty of games and puzzles, air-hockey and a dart board. 2 hours from the GTA and 3 hours from Ottawa, makes this an ideal spot to escape to and explore all the area has to offer or just chill and enjoy some downtime.

Great location, view, and room. Water pressure was low, filters may have need cleaning. But every thing else was great.

Friends get together
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house, only two issues, BBQ was in need of a clean, only used it once due to this. Water pressure was terrible, especially as there were 8 adults all having showers so that was challenging. Location on river was lovely, we had a fire every night, it was lovely to relax and unwind.

Highly Recommend
Our stay at the “Tranquil Waterfront Getaway” was amazing and exactly as advertised. The location offers leisure, adventure and entertainment close by. I would highly recommend this property for any occasion.
We were quite disappointed with the house and the cleanliness. The towels were all damp when we arrived and had a musty smell to them. The table and counter tops weren't wiped down, night stands had stains on them, the sheets had hair and pretty much every corner in the house had dead bugs, spider webs or dust. The fridge could use a good clean as well as the kayaks which had nests of dock spiders on them. Overall pretty disappointing considering the huge cost and cleaning fee we paid.

Nice and telaxing
Awesome place, river was beautiful with great fishing. Could have used some cleaning supplies as we like to leave a place as we found it. Nice quiet neighbour hood with easy acces to Huntsville only 5min drive.

Wonderful cottage
We stayed with a group of friends and our kids (6 adults, 4 kids). The cottage was clean and well equipped. It's on the Muskoka river and swimming off the dock was a highlight for everyone. The hosts were responsive and helpful for the few questions we had.
The only issue we encountered was that the cottage does not have great water pressure, which was challenging from the perspective of having showers, doing dishes, and getting baths organized for the kids. I asked the host about this, and his response was "this is a limitation of the cottage".
I feel like more could be done about the issue, frankly, I have been to several cottages on lake water that did not have issues like this. To be fair, if we were fewer people it would not have been as difficult an issue and easier to work around (however, the cottage has 4 bedrooms so really I don't see how this is unexpected).
Absent the water pressure issue, I would happily have given this 5 stars and the cottage was very well equipped. Otherwise we had a great time and everything was smooth.

Unpleasant Surprise
The unpleasant surprise that greeted my family and I when we got to this cottage was an unkempt yard and a very untidy deck. We paid for a vacation to relax and enjoy and instead we had to clean the deck and the kitchen. The condition of the yard clearly told us that this home was not cared for in months. There was a stuffy smell once we got in, which means no one even opened the windows to let fresh air in knowing that there will be guest for the weekend. If you're going to accept payment for the use of your home, it is your responsibility to make sure it is well prepared for the guest. I will never rent this place again and I will not recommend it to any one.
