We had an great time at the cottage. The kids loved fishing off the dock and we all made use of the kayaks and paddle boat. The fridge was a little small for 12 people and the depth of the water for swimming was disappointing. A great place to get away from it all.

Great for an extended family getaway

The main cottage and two bunkies worked very well for our extended family gathering of six adults and two kids. Because the living/dining/kitchen area is fairly small it would be a squeeze to be indoors in extended bad weather, but the outdoor decks and lake are fantastic. We had a great stay.

R&R at Bass Lake

Exactly what we were looking for ... a wonderful charming cottage with everything we needed. Lots of space for everyone and the bunkies are great for spreading out. We love the fall and did enjoy a little quieter time of year. All had a great time in the water and we did some fishing ... everybody had a great time. Will make this a regular family gathering !!

Go relax

The Bass Lake house was everything and more. Always something to do - from kayaking, canoeing, or relaxing on one of the many loungers. On a rainy day, curling up on the couch and watching Netflix will definitely book it again.

We stayed here for a week in early July. There were 5 adults and one kid. We had an awesome time. The cottage is well-appointed and spacious. With the two bunkies, our group had lots of space to relax and enjoy the week. The beds were all super comfy. We enjoyed cooking outside on the grill and spending our days relaxing on the spacious front desk and loungers. Only complaint all week was the bugs! Pack your bug spray... the deer flies were hungry. Overall, we had an amazing time and will definitely be back. Mark was an amazing host - great communication and easy to reach if we needed anything.

Great family vacation

We had a great stay at this cottage as a family. The seating outside was wonderful to enjoy watching people swim and to enjoy our meals together. The kitchen was well stocked and didn't need to bring anything. Lots of dishes for a a family of 12. Lots sleeping available and comfortable beds. Mark was a very responsive to any questions we had prior to the stay and during the stay. Would highly recommend this accommodation.

Family Vacation

Mark's place is a lovely peaceful place to stay. A very beautiful and quiet area. Their home is spotless and well supplied with everything. The kayaks and canoes were a wonderful addition for our visit as we utilized them many time during our stay. Loved the bunkies! My grandson throughly enjoyed the opportunity to sleep in the upper bunk of the bunky with his mom. Mark thank you, our stay at your home was a wonderful experience for all of us.

Beautiful cottage, lots of room and has everything for kitchen and enjoying the waterfront. Easy to catch small fish and frogs from dock, very shallow but when you swim out there are large flat rocks to stand on and then drops deep on other side. Great with our dog with screened in porch and loops on dock to attach rope.Plenty of space for extended family. - not that we needed it. One bunkie had nice mini couch with tv and lots of dvds to give the teens their own space.Very accessible with ramp from one side of cottage, easy to get onto back deck and grab bars in washroom. Lots of plastic chairs and loungers, noodles… paddles, lifejackets etc. Nice and quiet.. good privacy from the world. Couldn’t have fires because of fire ban but otherwise perfect!

Fun weekend with friends

Property was clean and as showed in the pictures. Mark was friendly and was extremely helpful upon checking to answer any questions I had opening the cottage. The cottage itself is very close to neighbouring cottages, being right on the lake sound carry’s easily. Some of the beds only hold up to 140lbs, meaning if we had any more people up for the weekend, there would have been no more room to sleep. Would be a absolutely fantastic place for a family to stay!

Family getaway

View from the deck/dock is amazing, great quiet place for a vacation. Keep in mind the water is shallow even off the dock which was fine for us with small kids. The kayaks provided were great as the water was calm and great for water activities. The living room furniture is a little on the old side and a little tougher to get out of if you have older family members. It is cottage country so make sure to pack the bug spray. Mark was very responsive and the place had everything you needed for cooking. You can get some great sunset pics from the dock at night

2 thumbs up

My family stayed at Mark’s cottage 26Jun-3July - 2x 70+ yo, 2x 50+ yo, 2x 30+ yo and a 3 & 5 yo. We had a great time kayaking, canoeing and swimming with something for everyone to enjoy. The cottage and bunkies were clean and stocked with everything we could need. We had more than enough sleeping options (we all like our own beds) and enjoyed the privacy of the bunkies. All in all, aside from some rain and deer flies which are all part of the experience it was a perfect week in an amazing location. Thank you Mark for sharing this gem of yours and for your responsiveness and care before and during our stay.

Wonderful week away in Bobcaygeon

Great cottage! Well stocked of the essential kitchen items and outdoor activities including canoes, kayas etc. I really love the setup in the backyard with the water access especially with the little "beach" entrance to it. The bunkies were a nice addition as it is added privacy away from the main cottage if need be(ie taking care of a small child or a movie night without disturbing early sleepers). Mark is a great host - very thorough and responsive to communication. He also seems like he genuinly wants feedback so he can further improve the place, which is refreshing to see. I would absolutely love to come back to the bass Lake retreat. Thanks for hosting us, Mark!

Beautiful Lakeview cottage

The cottage is in a very remote area and has a good amount of room. We were a party of 6 adults, 1 teenager & 1 child. The 2 bunkies were also a good size. The cottage had most everything we needed. I had overlooked toilet paper on the list of what to bring and there was none, so don't forget to bring some! Also, you will be surrounded by many trees and still water so be sure to bring plenty of bug spray! The mosquitoes & horse flies are thick in the evening. There is a screened in deck to sit in during Mosquitofest but put a damper on having campfires - Definitely bring full insect gear. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, lots of family time & the sound of loons.

Family Getaway

Great location for a family getaway. Cottage was well equipped and clean. The flat top grill was amazing, especially for breakfasts. Did not like the fact that we had to make a trip to town to top off the propane tanks before leaving. I’ve rented many places and this was a first for me. Loved having the bunkies, it was a great experience for the younger generation. The new couch was lovely. I have to admit that it made me nervous, especially with having young ones around. I cringed every time someone sat on it. The lake was beautiful, not too many motorized boats. Ideal location for the kids to practice their paddling skills. Neighbours were friendly and informative with local activities and lake information. Mark was quick to respond to questions and very pleasant to deal with. Would book again in the future.

Double Booking Disaster

We arrived to what should have been a blissful week at a cottage. We were greeted by another family who had already moved their stuff in. As you can imagine, this was a disaster. Because we had booked through VRBO, the host told us we would have to leave. Six adults and four children under 11. We spent from 6-9:30 talking to VRBO in a Tim Horton's parking lot. No alternate Places to be found on the busiest week of the summer. No local hotels either. We had to drive back home. It was the worst experience possible. VRBO was no help as there was not one other property available. DO NOT REWARD THIS HOST by booking with him. Please consider somewhere else. To top it all off, I have stage four cancer. Another chance may not come along. This host is terrible.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Jones

Host profile image
With over 25 years of experience in hospitality and project management, we turned our dream into reality—creating a peaceful retreat outside the city to enjoy with friends and family. Over the years, we’ve continually renovated and enhanced the Bass Lake cottage, taking on new projects each year to elevate the experience of relaxing in nature.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location for its perfect balance of accessibility and seclusion. Just a short drive from Toronto and surrounding municipalities, it offers easy access via the 401 corridor, Highway 407, and connecting routes to Northern Ontario. Yet once you arrive, you’re surrounded by nature—tucked away on a private lake with no public access, countless forest trails for hiking, ATVing, and snowmobiling, and the kind of quiet only a truly remote spot can offer.

One of our favourite features is the beach’s gentle, gradual entry, making it a safe and welcoming place for kids, pets, and families to relax and enjoy the water. We’re excited to share this little slice of tranquility with guests looking to unplug and unwind in every season.

What makes this property unique

Bass Lake Lodge earned its name from friends and family in 2017, and it’s stuck ever since. With over 25 years of combined experience in the hotel and construction industries, we brought our shared dream to life—creating a peaceful, private retreat away from the city.

What makes this property truly unique is the care, time, and thoughtful planning that went into every detail. We designed the lodge to offer all the modern comforts and conveniences you’d expect—while keeping the experience rooted in nature. From high-speed internet and fully insulated buildings to cozy spaces for relaxing and reconnecting, every feature has been intentionally included to enhance your stay—even in a remote setting deep in the woods.

Set on a private lake with no public access, Bass Lake Lodge offers a rare opportunity to unplug and recharge. Spend your days fishing, listening to the call of loons, watching chipmunks scurry by, or stargazing under the brilliant Bobcaygeon night sky. You might even spot a moose or deer on a morning walk. With its calm waters, gentle beach entry safe for kids and pets, and countless nearby trails for hiking, ATVing, or snowmobiling, the “lodge” invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly unwind from the pace of modern life.
