Very peaceful property and the hosts were clear, communicative and answered any questions (ahead of time and on site) promptly. The property itself was stunning - everything had been updated (appliances, washrooms, bedrooms, games room, TV, hot tub, etc) and new while maintaining a classic and warm cottage element.We were able to comfortably and easily host 16 guests and each one was able to have their own space and also congregate all together to enjoy meals and games and time together. I will be booking again for another large family gathering. Cannot wait to get back. The privacy offered at the property is lovely too. You have your own space and the nature is beautiful. We were there in the winter so didn't get to use the lake etc but we walked down to the dock/lake front (about 5-10 minute walk from cottage) and it was lovely. Again, can't wait to get back!

We had the absolute best weekend ever! We booked Kim’s place for our small wedding and had our families all stay here. It was absolutely perfect for all ages and even though it was rainy there was still so much to do. The beds are extremely comfortable and the cottage is so spacious everyone could spread out when needed. It’s so well equipped with everything you’ll need that you really only need to bring your toothbrush. Kim is extremely responsive and so helpful through everything. We would definitely love to come back in the future. Highly recommend!!

Games and books, comfortable beds, great waterfront with boats and a sauna, and a nice yard for dogs to zoom around. Day trips to Parry Sound and Killbear Provincial Park.

We had the most wonderful stay at this cottage for our wedding. The location was excellent — a beautiful, spacious property with so much to enjoy. From the pool and hot tub to the kayaks and private lake access, it had everything we could have hoped for and more. It truly felt like a retreat where our guests could relax and celebrate with us.Communication with Kim, the owner, was also outstanding. She was incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process, which made planning and organizing so much easier.This cottage was the perfect setting for such a special occasion, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Perfect for family reunion/Celebration of Life. We had ages 2-71 for the entire week. This property was perfect. Lots of activities to do inside (table tennis, pool, puzzles,and projection TV). Outside, hot tub, beautiful deck areas, sauna by dock, great fishing and lots of waterfront activities. Table inside seated all 20 of us. The view is spectacular. Double ovens in kitchen great asset. Loved the beautiful master bathroom. Hosts are very responsive! We will be back for our next reunion.

I had the most beautiful, perfect wedding weekend thanks to Kim and Whitestone Lakehouse. The house is beautiful and the perfect gathering spot for family and friends. Not only was Kim responsive throughout the weekend when questions arose, she has also been on the ball with any questions I had about the property for almost 2 years now. Unfortunately, given how busy we were all weekend with wedding activities, we didn't have the opportuniuty to fully enjoy all of the available amenities (canoes, kyaks, hot tub, sauna) but I so plan on returning in the future to enjoy all of these perks. Thank you so much for everything!

Amazing Rental

Kimberly was a great and very responsive host. Everything went smoothly and all according to plan. The property was amazing, with great views down towards the lake. The lake was a perfect spot to hang out with plenty of activities; swim platform in the middle of the bay, kayaks and canoes but the best part was the sauna down by the water. This place is a gem of a cottage for large gatherings, we had 18 guys up. Thanks for the hospitality!!
