A relaxing old school rural cottage as described. Simple interior for relaxing and getting cozy for a fall trip. Kitchen had all items needed (a water jug cooler would be the only addition I would suggest). Wood stove was fantastic to have for heat. Loved waking up in the loft (the better mattress too) with treetop views. We enjoyed sitting on the upper deck and relaxing on the dock. We used the boat launch 1 min away to put our kayaks in the water at the start of the trip (bonus). If coming in wet season note deck, house stairs and dock ramp are slippery. Some shingles on the dock ramp for grip would be a nice addition. As described it is a steep path to water. Also you can walk about 2km round trip on the gravel road for a relaxing hike. A great spot for people wanting simple comfort and the great outdoors.

Beautiful location and view

My wife, girls, and I loved our stay here. The plot of land was just far enough from Huntsville to provide the peace and quiet we needed, but close enough to stay stocked up and in touch. Close to Algonquin as well. Loved canoeing on Camp Lake and watching the stars from the dock.

Quiet and cozy

It was just what we were looking for. Quiet, cozy, off the beaten path, somewhat rustic, and comfortable. The wood stove added a lot to the ambiance.

Beautiful location

We had a great stay. The cabin worked well with having two one year old. We were comfortable and there was a travel crib and baby gates. We went on day trips to hit a beach for the little one and enjoyed the dock when the babes slept. The host was always quick to answer questions and the listing was accurately described.

Beautiful Lake View

We loved the place but had to really clean up in the cottage, before it was clean for our family. The dick was wonderful however, the walk down was very unsafe. We often tripped over exposed spikes, to keep the log type steps, secure. The way we had to carefully climb over fallen trees, secured to act as a retaining type wall. Other than that, we really liked spending so much time on the water. There were several water toys such as paddle board and canoes.

Amazing...again

Second year we've stayed here. Think of it like borrowing your friend's house. Everything is there that you need, including things you wouldn’t have thought of. It rained a few days but we still had a blast. Canoe, kayak, fishing, swimming, hanging out on the deck and long walks down the private road. The only thing I could possibly think of to improve our time there would be a dishwasher to make more time available for fun. Be sure to visit Limberlost Forest during your stay and see the inuk shuks. The updates from last year are great, the kid loved the loft and the dog loved the open views.

Good value, peaceful retreat. Has all the essentials.

Cottage is in a nice, easily accessible location not far from Huntsville. While not luxury, it has all the essentials and is a good value for the money. There was a fresh jug of water, firewood, and things like coffee, sugar, etc. when we arrived. We took full advantage of the barbeque grill and canoe, which was awesome to have. Check in & out was super easy with the lockbox. Having an infant with us, it was nice to have a sink in the loft bedroom and plenty of room for a pack and play. Also, very happy to be able to bring our dog with us. Only minor complaints would be that the upstairs steps, as well as the hill to the lake, are steep and that the washroom is a bit dated. Water access is super easy, with a nice dock, and we were able to catch a bass fish from it! Unfortunately the mosquitos and black flies were quite intense, but that's to be expected in early June. Overall, a very nice place and attentive host :)

Excellent location - perfect place to unplug and relax. But if you really need to... you have very good connectivity. Lake is deep and clear, and small enough to transit to any point, but large enough to not be bored. Very much enjoyed paddling to the north as well as swimming out and around Camp and Mouse Islands.

Rustikales Ferienhaus am Lake Camp

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Hütte am See sehr genossen. Die Abgeschiedenheit und Ruhe und der Block auf den See waren einfach wunderschön. Die Kinder konnten im Wald um die Hütte spielen und wir auf der Veranda einen Kaffee oder ein Bier geniessen. Die Hütte ist sehr gut ausgestattet um einen gemütlichen Aufenthalt zu haben. Nach einem Tag draussen ein feines Abendessen zubereiten und anschliessend beim wärmenden Cheminé-Feuer den Abend ausklingen lassen - traumhaft. Mit den zur Hütte gehörenden Kanus konnten wir den See erkunden. Im 30 Minuten entfernen Huntsville gibt’s viele grösere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, auf den Trails vom Algonquin und Arrowhead Provincial Park ist man in ca. 45 Minten.

Fantastisk beliggenhed

Hvis man vil have fred og ro samt bo i den smukkeste natur er dette stedet. Der er langt til nærmeste by, men man befinder sig midt i skoven med et rigt dyreliv. Hytten er rustik og lettere slidt, men der er, hvad man skal bruge.

Not what we expected

We booked this property through Scott in early 2021 for our Honeymoon in mid-July for the week. The owner knew this. When we arrived not only were the neighbours just meters away, they are building a full cottage and the project was under construction with noise from 9-4 everyday, this was not mentioned. In addition, there were no sheets, pillows, towels, shampoo or soap, this we had to treck back into town for after a 4 hour drive. Although we expected the house would have a lived in feel, we didn’t expect it to be so dirty. I’ve since emailed the owner and to date have received no response. My friend has booked this property on my recommendation for September, I will be warning her of the above. I am shocked that people would do this to a couple on their honeymoon.

Beautiful lake and dock

We had a great stay at the cottage. The lake, newly installed dock, and lily pad made the trip. The owners were super communicative. The lake water was clean, clear, and full of minerals, great for the skin. The cottage is certainly rustic. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had fires in the fire pit and wood burning fireplace; and appreciated all the wood provided.

Perfect Retreat... 5 stars

My boyfriend and I stayed at this cottage 5 years ago, however I failed to review our stay. We had such a great experience the first time we had to come back. The cottage is well maintained and I love the ‘lived in feel’ it brought along with the coziness of all the spaces. The loft bed is so comfortable, I found it hard to get up in the mornings. Location is exactly what we are always looking for. Secluded surrounded by mature trees with a short walk to the water. The climb to and from the lake to cottage is pretty steep and could be a problem with someone that has knee issues. It was not an issue for us and didn’t mind the exercise. We used the canoe daily for fishing, a nice amount of small mouth bass were caught and released. We only went into town one day to buy more fishing lures as we had lost some fishing off the dock. There are giant trees in the lake off shore that is now home to an array of expensive lures. The drive into Huntsville is about 30mins from the cottage but the 20 minute drive on Limberlost road is beautiful I can’t complain. We have made new memories at this cottage this time around as my then boyfriend proposed on the deck with the picturesque view of the lake. It is definitely our favourite place both then and now. Scott is a great host, always accommodating and prompt with his responses. Informative and ensures his guests are taken care of. The only negative feedback I can give is the size of the dock spiders there. Besides some tears and a small panic attack when they decided to greet us it was the best vacation we have had just the two of us without our children. I cannot speak more highly on both vacations we have had at Camp Lake. We will definitely return. Thank you Scott!

Wonderful week away

My husband and I had a wonderful week away. This is a secluded cottage a bit off the beaten path with a private dock. You can see one other cottage from the property but there is a lot of privacy which is exactly what we were going for. The cottage can likely sleep 6 comfortably but we think it is perfect for one couple (with kids if you have them). It is kept tidy and as the owners use the cottage regularily, it feels very lived in and has most of the things you need. We spent our mornings drinking coffee in muskoka chairs on the deck, afternoons floating around on the water and nights by the campfire. I suggest bringing up a set of sheets, toilet paper, paper towels, towels, all your oils and spices and of course anything else you need. If you forget anything, town is not too far away. Bring lots of bug spray and a pair of water shoes if you have them. My husband asked me to book again for next year already!

Amazing getaway

Scott is a true host. Property was beautiful, cottage well maintained. The chance to swim, fish, canoe, watch VHS movies cannot be beat here. Town is nearby, about 35 minutes, Henrietta's bakery near Dorset is also worth the drive. Look forward to returning.

Algonquin wilderness experience but in a cottage!

Reviews posted are to date are accurate except drive to town is 45 minutes, not 20. But that's one of the things that what makes this place feel like you're away from it all. None of the reviews mention the amazing hiking at Limberlost Forest and Wildlife Reserve, only a 20 minute drive. Hoping to book this place again next year.
