Jennifer was a wonderful host who started our weekend with a very thoughtful welcome gift basket. The cottage is exactly as described, with plenty of room and extra comfort amenities such as extra towels, blankets, board games, Netflix and wifi. Our group's weekend was spent almost entirely outside enjoying the deck furniture, 2 barbecues, hammock and water toys. Any questions we had were answered by Jennifer via text in a prompt and helpful manor. Highly recommend this cottage to a group of friends looking to get away from Toronto without the gruesome 3+ hour drive up north.

Jennifer was a great host to book with! The waterfront area is beautiful.

Jennifer was an amazing and accommodating host. She was very responsive to any questions, concerns, emails and text messages. My friends and I enjoyed the view of the lake. Since the weather was beautiful we were able to take advantage of the BBQ and spent a lot of time outdoors. The place is stocked with everything you need inside and out. Also, the location is really close to the town about 10 min walk and 5 min drive. Even though the place is beautiful it is a little outdated on the inside.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great little cottage on the lake. Jennifer's was very prompt with her replies and transparent. The cottage "ocean front" location is a exposed, so quite windy at the dock. However, that's great in hot summer months. The local public Pier is just down the road with a splash pad park.

Jennifer was a great host, very responsive and accommodating. We had a fantastic time - thanks! Note that this place seems like it would be perfect for children - tons of toys, video games, shallow water, etc. as noted in the listing. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood.

A group of friends and I stayed over New Years for three evenings and the cottage exceeded my expectations. The place is fully stocked - full kitchen supplies, games, entertainment like wii and netflix. Plus the town is only a 2 minute drive or 10 min walk away. Jennifer was a great host and gifted a lovely welcome package on arrival.

Jennifer's place is beyond words. It's a lovely home in a great part of lake Simcoe. Jennifer describes everything in accurate and informative detail. She is proud of her home and makes every effort to ensure that you are happy with your stay. She is easy to communicate with and answers all your questions/concerns quickly. Check-in is easy and she even offered us an early check-in time. The house has everything that makes this place a home. For us, it was the extra beds, the fully stocked kitchen (every tool you could need), the lovely Canada day gift basket waiting for us, the kayaks/canoe, the children's toys, the BBQs, and the washer/dryer. The neighbors are quite and friendly. The town is cute and cosy. We watched the Canada Day fireworks show in the Beaverton fairgrounds, it was very nice (they also had activities for kids, a concert, and food). The sunsets on the dock are so beautiful and different every single evening (you never get tired of seeing it). The water is fun to swim in (shallow and safe for kids) and the sounds of the waves lulled us to sleep every single night. I couldn't have imagined a better place for our family trip! We highly recommend.

Fernando was great; quick to respond and wanted to ensure we had everything we needed for a good time. He tracked down a BBQ and fire pit for us after I asked if he had them. The space is fantastic, lots of sleeping room and a spacious property that allows for lawn games and activities. The lawn is well kept and can be walked on in bare feet. His hot tub has speakers (bring an AUX cord!) and the deck is west facing and gets fantastic sunsets. The lake is clear and shallow, but I would advise that you bring some water shoes as the lake bed can be scratchy because of the mollusk shells. Overall I would give Fernando and his place 5 stars. He was quick to respond, truthful and wanted the best for me and my guests. Chances are, we will book another weekend away next year.

Gorgeous lake view. Huggeee property. So much space in the front and back. Great area to play some sports or activities with family and friends. House was very clean and cozy. All arrangements were there. Lots of fire wood and everyday supplies. The lake is steps away to a private dock. We had a great time. Not to mention Steve and Minoo were great host. Very accomplished and cooperative... thank you for having my family !!!

The pictures do not do this place justice. It is so much bigger and even has a large basement for even more sleeping space or indoor activities. Minoo and her husband are extremely nice and positive people, super easy to work with and very responsive. Great location and lots of outdoor space to accommodate a plethora of sports and games. The field in the back makes you feel like you are in the middle of no where while enjoying the large fire pit and has a beautiful open vista for star gazing. Propane and firewood were also provided which is just amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for lots of space. 5-Star trip for sure!!

Hi Everyone, This was my first experience with Airbnb, I can tell you Minoo and Steve far exceeded my wildest expectations of what you can get out of a rental property. Minoo and Steve communicated with me constantly leading up to my trip and did a great job of answering all my questions, making sure they had everything i needed to enjoy my stay. When I arrived Minoo and Steve were happily awaiting me and eager to show me everything and how everything works, and even provided us firewood and propane. The house is incredible, the rooms are large and spacious and super clean. All of my guests woke up every morning boasting about how well they slept. The bathroom upstairs is beautiful with a great shower and i love that they provide shampoo and conditioner for guests. Ridiculous amounts of hot water that keeps you hot the entire length of your shower. And they had extra sleeping arrangements in each closet. The master bedroom on the main floor is perfect. Theres a massive en-suite right across from it with a bathtub shower mix and an amazing counter big enough for any girly girl. And the view from the bed is beyond words. The living room is spacious and really comfortable. Big tv and speakers to play music throughout the house. All the rooms flow really well together. The house is built for big groups of people. It has a washer and dryer to do laundry and they keep detergent and fabric softener there too. The basement is fully loaded with a ps2 and fooseball table and its quiet but massive so if extra people show up youll have no problem with extra spots to sleep. The house is less of a cottage and more of a vacation home. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessities, pots pans cutlery bowls etc, and the dishwasher is a nice touch. They had multiple outlets in the house that had cable chargers included for your phone. They have a fancy new airconditioning/ heating system that worked flawlessly. The garage is accessible straight from the kitchen and you can access the backyard from there too. The back porch has a patio set table and chairs and the owners glammed it up with some cute mini lights for at night. If you walk into the backyard there's more mini lights amongst the trees which just makes it very whimsical and beautiful and a huge firepit with picnic tables. This whole property is incredible. Its quite the getaway from reality. I loved every second and leaving was rather sad. The dock across the road is perfect too. All my friends and I got to spend the day in the sun, or in the water its a perfect size and my friend brought up a boat that he launched for 10$ from down the road. Minoo and Steve even have a mint bush out front so I could make drinks for my friends. It was...

Minoo was very helpful and responded to questions and concerns prior to our stay at the airbnb.

Exactly what we needed for weekend getaway. Serene location, has all the creature comforts. Shirley and Carl were the best hosts. Can't wait to come back.

This cottage is AMAZING! its right next to the lake so you can just jump right in. Also, super markets and shops are like 5 minutes away.

Absolutely amazing location and a family friendly neighbourhood. The cottage is gorgeous and perfectly suited for a small family. Shirley is a wonderful host who made sure that all necessities needed for a comfortable stay were provided.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 5 days. It was so relaxing and peaceful. The cottage was super clean and a great place to get away too. The water was beautiful and loved the private access. The only downfall was the trains that kept coming through and making a lot of noise. Other than that it's a beautiful place to stay at and we would definitely return. Shirley was very accommodating and easy to get a hold of. She was a great host! We enjoyed our stay

We had a great stay here. Shirley is so nice, easy to communicate and be kindness. The cottage is very clean, comfortable and quiet. Shirley provides us everything we need for a lake side vacation. Hope we can have another chance to stay here again.

Shirley and Carlo are amazing hosts. When we arrived we were greeted with friendly smiles and a tour. We did not feel like guests, we felt like family. We were shown around the cottage, were given access to a shed full of water activities (inflatable boats, kayaks, paddle boat) , towels and linens were provided and were beautiful and clean! The cottage has a homey feel, and is definitely a place we would love to visit again, year after year. The lake was clean and beautiful, private lake access was such a luxury. We definitely would love to visit again!

We had a great stay! Great host, clean cottage, right across the street from the lake. We had fun swimming, fishing, and having campfires. Close to town for groceries, beer store, LCBO, etc. Close to great playgrounds for kids, ice cream shops, and take out pizza. We loved our week and definitely plan to return!

Shirley was very easy to communicate with, helpful, and accommodating when we were running a bit late. The cottage is beautiful, the pictures do not do it justice. The wall to wall windows in the front make it a lovely place to wake up with a morning coffee, with a lovely view of the lake. We cannot express how much we loved our time here and highly recommend it to anyone looking to recharge.

Our immediate reaction to Liam's cottage was that it gave us immediate sense of relaxation. The quality, design and level of decor would compare to that seen in House and Home magazine. The exploration of the art work within the cottage itself was a journey back in time yet at the same time the level of technology provided was astounding. Casting the live Tesla Model 3 launch was effortless with the Smart TV which reminded me after enjoying the clean air, well manicured landscaping and the clean beach, that we have to preserve our environment otherwise cottage's like Liam's would be meaningless. Liam was very responsive via text and email and the cottage had all forms of kitchen appliances and linens necessary for our stay. The one complaint was the cottage was so neat and clean that we chose to be super careful to avoid spilling liquids and tracking in dirt from outside.

This cottage is absolutely beautiful!!! Liam was very easy to get a hold of and he provided us with instructions on how to get to the cottage and some in town tips. The beach area is very rocky but the water equipment that Liam provided allowed us to drift on the water and catch some sunshine. The stairs to get down to the water are also a little narrow and steep! I would recommend this cottage to any small group looking to stay in an out of a magazine property that has the most amazing sunset views. Thanks Liam for having us.

We stayed in Liam's home over thanksgiving weekend. It was everything we hoped it would be. Really nicely decorated, beautiful location and great amenities. If you're after a relaxing weekend on the lake then look no further! Liam is really responsive and really willing to be flexible. Thanks!

Great stay for a girls weekend. The house is beautiful and there was a great view of the lake. We were very comfortable in the house. Nice and clean. We had everything we needed to cook and enjoy ourselves. I would definitely come back during any season.

We had a great stay at Liam's charming lakehouse. With plenty of stuff to make it super cozy it didn't take long for us to feel right at home. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies which made meal prep easy and efficient. Liam provided everything we needed to enjoy the lake. Check in was easy and communication was great before and during our stay. I would definitely recommend Liam's place for a private getaway from the city.

We had a great time at Liam's place. It's a beautiful home, very comfortable and with great decór. Top that with an incredible sunset view, and you'll start to understand why it's so easy to fall in love with this place. Liam was a great host, and provided us with plenty of information before, during and after our stay.

The host canceled this reservation 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Had a pleasant stay at the house - really nice environment at the lake, great experience. A real retreat place, also great for families

This cottage is beautiful and huge. Perfect for having a family get together (especially if you have multiple mini families). Bedrooms, living space and outdoor space are all bigger than they look in the photos! Water is shallow and rocky, so no diving, but it was amazing for swimming and some paddling around. The cottage has well water, which isn't an issue at all (and Peter was kind enough to leave us some city water), just something to be aware of! Georgina (15 min drive) has a water tap where you can get city filtered water if you're not into well water. The smell is pretty strong, although it is totally safe to drink. I stayed with some family for the last week of August, which was unfortunately cold this year. However we built fires, played games and had movie nights, and despite the weather it was still an amazing and comfortable trip!

We had a restful week at the cottage. The place was as described and very comfortable. Great, private lakeside area - only downside is entry is from ladder off dock. Peter was very responsive and answered questions quickly.

My family went to Alon's cottage for the May long weekend and to celebrate my brother's birthday and had a great time. The cottage is cozy, quaint and the view is breathtaking. The lake is crystal clear! We really enjoyed the grounds and the hot tub is a great feature. Alon left the cottage well supplied with bedding, towels, essentials and even some courtesy snacks.

Alon was a great a host; he was very helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

Alon was very accommodating and was always available to answer any questions--though we didn't have many. Kitchen had all the necessities, beds were comfortable, a "toy chest" with fun things, wifi, and a great fire pit . Big grassy area was nice to lie out on/play soccer etc. My one recommendation would be to bring water shoes as the beach is quite rocky, though I managed bare foot. We really enjoyed our time at the cottage. There's even an adorable Great Dane puppy next door who came to say hi a few times. Would definitely recommend this for a nice getaway, fortunately not even far from Toronto!

We had a great time! Only about one hour and a half from Toronto, the "Tabin" was surprisingly comfortable, and we had a very relaxing weekend. We took the canoe out on the canal, which was a nice addition to the stay. Also, Tom was available to help with anything, and very friendly. Great place and great host! I would definitely recommend this place.

It's true what they say: "Words cannot adequately describe this property." It's allure is magical. A truly whimsical playground full of possibilities, the sort you hate to vacate. Tom and Jodi are gracious and ideal hosts, taking the guest experience into consideration at every turn and bend in the river. They greeted us upon arrival, told us of the land and its features, provided us with firewood and other provisions, enabling us to be completely at ease throughout our stay. If, like us, you are in the throws of a blossoming romance, this is the place for you. If you've been with a partner for some time and are looking for a private place to reignite those flames, this is the place for you. If you simply seek serenity, scenic scapes or scintillating sedation, look no further. Tom and Jodi, we thank you. A return can not come soon enough.

Tom & Jodi were helpful and friendly. Great location, a nice shallow stream that runs by. Canoes and bikes for use were an added bonus. Enjoyed using the fire pit and lounging in the sun. Only negative was the train that runs through the night sounding its horn loud enough to wake us, but that's out of anyone's control. Definitely recommend!

A wonderful week. The place is beautiful. The water is shallow and surprisingly warm so great for swimming and kayaking. Evenings around the firepit, with great water views...a very relaxing environment. Thanks for sharing your place with us.

A truly amazing place! Beautiful house with all the amenities. Toys galore for the kids too. The lake was great and shallow for quite a way out so good for young ones - we swam as often as we could. Alison and Corey were attentive hosts that made sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend!

This place is amazing! Alison and Corey were wonderful to work with and answered all of our questions promptly. Everything was organized and communicated so that our time away was stress free! I would highly recommend this cottage/home, it will not disappoint!

Corey and Alison were the perfect hosts, their communication with us was first class and they were very quick to answer any questions we had. Now onto the cottage.. WOW! Absolutely stunning inside and out. We loved watching sunsets on the lake, we felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves! So peaceful and serene you can sit there for hours listening to the waves of the lake. Once inside the house it is obvious this is the work of an interior designer and a very good one at that! Such a wonderful eclectic taste with a retro yet very modern feel. We loved, the panoramic views of the lake from the house and the modern kitchen and every cooking utensil imaginable. We were travelling with a newborn and Corey and Alison very kindly put up a pack and play sleep cot with bedding for us and a little babies towel, every attention to detail was thought of. Thank you for a magical stay, those dreamy views from the house will stay with us for a lifetime. This place is sooo good you almost want to keep it a secret!

Alison and Corey have a beautiful lakeside home in close proximity to the city. The place has a cool vintage-mid century modern design with lots of interesting design touches. Was great for a winter break and I can imagine would be lovely in the summer with all of the windows and lake access.

Great place and location! Really tasteful interior design of the house. Great for spending time with friends and family. Hosts are really friendly and helpful. Would like to come again!

This stunning cottage is a spacious and family friendly place to stay. Beautifully furnished with good sized modern kitchen. The garden is great for kids, small beach also very child friendly. We stayed here for 6 days with 9 people (4 young kids and 5 adults) and there was plenty of space indoors and outdoors for all of us. Would love to come back here!

Our family had a terrific stay at Corey And Alison’s place. The cottage is even more gorgeous than it appears in the photos (with so many details to discover) and they have thought through everything to make your stay more enjoyable both inside the cottage and out.

This place is awesome! It has so much room for our whole family and was actually quite clean. Oren was a pleasure to work with, he made sure we had everything we needed and was very easy to get in touch with. The listing was very accurate and we had absolutely no complaints. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet and enjoyable place on the lake. The sunsets were truly spectacular and the park across the road was great for the kids to run around in.

It was a great stay, everything went smoothly, and the cottage had everything we needed. The area is beautiful, especially the water. Oren was very approachable, answered a lot of our questions in a timely manner.

Oren was super easy to work with and always quick to respond to emails and texts. Unfortunately, nowhere in the description of the house prior to our arrival did it say we were unable to drink the water. After inquiring about the new situation it got a bit shady with him saying that the water was filtered and it was them that just didn't drink it...so why was it the first thing listed in the house rules, Don't drink the water?

We had an amazing stay. The cottage was massive and easily accommodated our large group. The waterfront was picturesque and large cedar trees provided some privacy from the neighbors. Oren was a great host and quickly responded to all of our questions. I would recommend this place as an awesome weekend getaway as it is so close to the city.

Host was very cooperative and was a pleasure to deal with.

Oren was a great host. He was very approachable and responded to all our questions promptly. The house is great if you are looking for a place to accommodate a big group however, the beach wasn't anything special, lots of crayfish. The house wasn't in a clean condition when we arrived but Oren refunded the cleaning fees to make up for that.

Oren was an awesome host! The place was great, perfect location and ideal for larger groups. Backyard is stunning, and house has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Oren was available 24/7 for any assistance.

Our Stay with Oren was Great ! He had great communication . The place is enormous and had a great lakefront view . Would definitely Reccomend this place. .

Michael was a very attentive, generous, and responsive host. The cottage was immaculate and an excellent space to ride out rainy days in comfort. The sun hits the porch just right and the fire pit was thoroughly enjoyable!

It was a very nice place we enjoyed our time a lot

Our stay at Michael and Lanas home was absolutely perfect. Pictures do not do this property justice, it is unbelievably beautiful, peaceful and private. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The heated flooes add a nixe luxurious element. Michael and Lana thought of every detail and made us feel truly at home (towels, hair dryer, filtered water, even mini soaps in the bathroom:)) . They had excellent communication and left us coffee, eggs and popcorn to enjoy and they set up the fireplace for us to enjoy on our first night which was lovely. We had a great stay and hope to return again :)

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Cute and quirky farmhouse! Convenient location, close to Toronto. Great swimming, no dock but exactly as listed. Janet was friendly and very helpful, her notes were adorable! We had some great fires, huge outdoor lawn space. Beautiful sunsets every night!!

Cool eclectic home in a beautiful setting

This was my first air bnb experience.. the ad was very descriptively on point! The place is a cute bungalow style 2 bedroom apartment. We stayed only to sleep at night since we were traveling back and forth from burls creek as Vendors at the Big Feastival. Sosie was very responsive when we called her. Good experience and needs met.

Very nice place. the Host and the neighbors were very friendly and helpful.

Sosie was great at communicating with us and provided immediate assistance via messaging if we needed something. The photos of the cottage are very accurate and it is located on a quiet street, only a few steps away from the river. Although the dock is not privately owned, we were able to use it entirely for ourselves and it offered great views. It should be noted that the water access is quite rocky. The neighbors were very friendly and the cottage is a short drive from a nearby town. The few concerns that we had were a limited supply of toilet paper and soap, and a plumbing issue with the toilet. These have been brought to Sosie's attention and I'm sure will be addressed going forward. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and it is a good value for the cost!

Very nice.

Our family had a great stay at this cottage. It's really nicely renovated in the living areas, however the back of the cottage is currently still filled with the leftovers (insulation/cardboard/building supplies). You have to walk out the front door if you want to go to the backyard. The cottage is along a private road with friendly neighbours. It's a short walk to the river where you can swim off the docks. We went searching for a sandy beach, but the closest we found was McRae Provincial park (about 30 min drive). Grocery store is only 3 minute drive if you forget anything! Overall we had a great time, the only thing that could have made our trip better was if there was a patio table so we could have spent more time outside!

Though we never met Sosie in person, she was accessible through the AirBnB messaging app and was very responsive. The place is newly renovated with nice furniture, and is very spacious. The water from the tap tasted quite strongly of iron though and it takes some getting used to. The dock is just a walk's away and is a nice place to fish. Balsam Lake Provincial Park is less than a 20 min drive away and is a great place to swim, fish, and hike. If you need a grocery store, there's a shop about 3 mins away from the place.

Sosie is an amazing host and very prompt in replying to the queries. The cottage is about few yards away from a beautiful lake and an amazing view. The amenities in the cottage were great as deceived in the advert and location could not be any better. I would definitely reccomend the cottage to others and love to come back here. I would also like to thank Sosie for everything. Cheers !

her response was very fast and very helpful.

Aaron's place was great, overall very nice and clean. The river was near by and you can fish there as well. The only thing I would suggest would be adding wifi to the house for movies etc. Overall a very good and comfortable stay.

The cottage is in a nice and quiet place. It is perfect for a small family or a small group of people. The only issue we had was that the kitchen was not so equipped. Also would've liked the cottage to be more furnished. Other then that a lovely place and amazing hosts.
