Our group really enjoyed our weekend stay at Shamila's cottage. Plenty of comfortable places to hang out both indoors and outside. Kitchen was well-stocked. Would absolutely recommend!
Enjoyed the time we spent at the cottage. Beautiful sunsets off the lake. The host was very responsive throughout the process.

Liked: Location
The property was lovely and a great way for a group of ladies to share time together for a weekend. Coming from various parts of Ontario, it was a perfect spot to “meet in the middle”. We enjoyed walking into town, had lunch in a local restaurant, but mostly just enjoyed the property itself. Access to the water, the sauna, hottub or just sitting and reading a book…..the location was perfect. The home itself was very well maintained, clean, and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Please come back Dawn. Look forward to having you back
Was a really nice set up and comes with just about everything you need with the host constantly making upgrades to the property and is very easy to get ahold of if any issues arise, it has the perfect amount of space for my family and I to enjoy the lake view. The hot tub was my favourite part, My only note would be we like to watch a movie at the end of the night and the TV sound was really low could barely hear it maybe add some speakers or get a bigger/better TV but many ppl won’t care about that what a great experience look forward to booking again!
This listing was everything and more from what was advertised. Location , view, amenities and the home was beautiful and had a homie feel with lots of charm. We were a group of 7 ladies and this spot checked all the boxes . Hands down a gem of a rental and the five star rating is well deserved .Highly recommended!!!
The cottage is conveniently located a short drive from town, in case you forgot something.It was clean and very nice inside. The front porch over looking the water was a good size and lots of seating. A great sized fire pit by the water. The hot tub was not usable as the water temperature was less than bath water and the temperature could not be turned up to heat water. All and all we had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed our surroundings.

Given it’s been so hot - almost 40 degrees the previous guests had lowered the temperature and locked it.
It’s now unlocked and the temperature is set and all guests are requested to not touch the temperature setting. The lower temperatures are not good for the machine or chemical balance
We booked this property for the family to stay at as it was close to nearby wedding venue. Great location, lovely property. Wish we had more time to enjoy the amenities.
We liked it so much last year we returned this summer and we weren’t disappointed. The host Shamila has made several improvements which made our stay this year even better! It was a great family gathering. 😀
Shamila the host is lovely and very accommodating as is her co-host. The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable. We enjoyed all there was to offer - the paddles boards, pedal boat, bicycles and especially the fire pit. We had a great time and would highly recommend this property!

Dear Linda thank you for the nice review .. please consider ‘Heaven on Earth’ as your second home. If you live nearby come visit.. the door is always open for you and it doesn’t have to be that you have to make a booking .. with loads of love!
This cottage provides a wonderful family experience. It is comfortable and well outfitted. There are several different watercraft and a dock as well as a hot tub. Overall, lots of opportunity for family fun in a beautiful and private setting. At the same time, it is close to amenities. We would definitely recommend this place.
Shamila's place was an amazing stay for my group of friends! Very clean and organized place which had everything you needed and more. Shamila obviously spent a lot of time preparing and making sure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable as there were many great activities left for us to do together or individually (e.g. painting, board games and cards, hula hoops and games for children, relaxing on the many hammocks available). The highlight of our trip was having the option of many water sporting equipment (e.g. multiple paddle boards and paddle boat, canoes, kayak, etc) as there was enough for all of us to be on the water at the same time. Great fishing spot overall as we caught some small bass! Beautiful view of the outdoors, and the internet works great for those working days.
There was air conditioning in the master bedroom and top floor room/area, and a few fans for us to use, but during this heat wave it was very hot as there was no central air conditioning in the living room area. If you don't mind the warmth in the living room, especially with a bigger group, then all is well. The water is quite rocky and mosquitos are pretty aggressive but only during a certain time (just after sunset), so if you want to spend time out with the fire avoid going during this time and you'll be great. Shamila also did give us some tips before coming and mentioned the rockiness in the water and mosquitos so do listen to the tips she gives and bring some water shoes and bug repellent. There was a hot tub but unfortunately we could not get it to work/warm up (this could have just been us as users). Finally, the BBQ grill did work but took a little longer for our food to cook which was not a huge issue as it's summer and we had all day, but plan to start firing up the grill a little earlier.
Overall, Shamila's hospitality and service is top notch and did everything she could to make it feel like it was home for us the few days we were there. We did encounter a small blip while there being the first guests to stay, which is why 4.5 but these were communicated and handled fairly quickly and will not be an issue for future guests. I would 100% stay at this location again as it has been the most well prepared and thought through place we've stayed both inside and out. Shamila is very kind, understanding, and quick to respond which makes her an exceptional host!

Hi Alyssa, I don't know if my earlier message got through but really really really appreciate your review esp areas to improve on. Talking to electrician today and the water people to ensure that those things don't affect future guests. After your visit, fixing the garbage lid did cost me a bit. I have now made provisions so it doesn't happen again. I'd love to have you visit again. Normally properties like this rent for about $1000/day but given I am new, I have listed it so cheaply to get the issues out of the way. Thank you for the visit and your comments.
We stayed here for a week with family while in town for a wedding, and it was a great fit for our group. Lots of room between the main house and the cabin, so nobody was on top of each other.The spot on the river is really pretty. We ate most meals out on the covered patio and spent a lot of time down on the dock. The kitchen was easy to cook in for a bunch of people, and having a washer and dryer for the week was handy.Host was easy to reach and check-in could not have been be simpler.Nice quiet place to come back to after the wedding stuff. We'd stay again.

Michael thank you for choosing us. We hope you will come again soon.
The house itself could use a deep cleaning and sweeping. There was a LOT of dust to the point we actually cleaned all of the AC filters and fans ourselves so we were not breathing it in all week. Had a little snafu with the water but it was resolved quickly and effectively which was very appreciated. It is a great location, very happy with the outdoor space and the unit provided enough room for everyone to enjoy themselves.
The experience was amazing, friendly welcome and beautiful property. Plenty of space and things to do for everyone in our group. Would recommend to a friend anyday!
Great Cottage Getaway on the Trent Severn Waterway
The cottage and property were beautiful, and we found it easy to settle in once we arrived. We'd definitely come back again as a group. The Trent Severn Waterway, on which the cottage is located, was fun to swim in, and the host offers paddle boards, a paddle boat, a canoe, and a large water mat, all of which we enjoyed very much so! The hostess added many special touches to make us feel welcomed. Parents with young children should know that there are many lovely antiques around the cottage, some of them glass, but there is a large pantry where they can easily be stored, and a large cabinet where they can be stored above, as well. We made so many great memories as a family that will be in our hearts and minds for many years! Ever grateful!
