Enjoyed our stay

Property is well kept and nicely decorated. Owners provide all essentials including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towel, sandwich bags, detergent, some spices, cooking oil and pots and pans and kitchen utensils that are all in good shape. You really do have to just arrive and enjoy! There is a quality canoe and life jackets available. If you bring a boat or seadoos, docking is a bit of an issue without a lift due to the sometimes choppy water. We were able to rent a boat slip at a nearby marina. Property provided for a stress free relaxing family vacation.

The cottage that saved our vacation!!

After a last minute issue with a booking made back in March, this cottage literally saved our vacation!! Our group consisted of our family of 5 and another family of 5 from Germany. Jessie was very responsive to our questions and managed our last minute booking without any issue. When we pulled up to a beautiful blue house, we immediately knew we had made a great find! The spacious kitchen was able to accommodate our whole group (4 adults and 6 pre-teens/teenagers). We even managed to all fit at the table on the deck for dinner while enjoying the beautiful sunsets!! The bar fridge downstairs was very handy for keeping pop cold and the kids enjoyed a movie night on the big screen projector! The kitchen had all the necessary amenities which were all found in excellent condition and very clean. You will however need to bring your own tea towels. The sliding door out to the backyard made accessing the waterfront easy and the picnic table, Muskoka chairs, fire pit, and swing were enjoyed by all. Jessie thoroughly outlined what to expect regarding the lake and there were no problems with the rocky entry. The canoe was a great addition and there was room to keep our windsurfer/SUP beside it. The lake itself is beautiful and clean! Jessie was a fantastic host who responded very quickly to all messages. Everyone had a fabulous time and our friends got to experience cottage life in Canada!! Thank you Jessie!!

Couldve been better.. but wasnt what we thought it was..

This property was actually beautiful.. but honestly the property management wasnt the greatest.. there were bugs EVERYWHERE.. spiderwebs EVERYWHERE.. as a property owner i think the property should have been cleaned from the outside considering how many bugs they had.. the backyard was tiny(picture make it look very long but isnt), if you have kids you may not like this property because the backyard door is way too close to the water.. the neighbour is HORRIBLE.. kept getting calls from the owner because the neighbour kept complaining about literally the smallest things.. the listing says 3 cars allowance but theres no space for just 2.. bring your own bbq because theirs was NOT useable(there were bugs INSIDE the bbq) the basement which leads to the lakefront had a very bad sewage odour that just wouldnt go away no matter how much febreze we sprayed.. there was a bear claw IN the water at the lakefront.. AND THERE ARE NO FISH.. for the 4 days we were there we didnt NOT get even ONE FISH!!! So if you’re coming to have a good timing fishing with your kids.. DONT. Try your luck somewhere else..

This Beautiful Cottage is an Absolute Gem!!!

Jessie is an amazing host and communication with her was outstanding. I had some questions as we wanted to take our boat to the cottage. Jessie was friendly and thorough and answered all our questions promptly. The dock is large and spacious. We could park our boat easily and the boat launch is just minutes away. The cottage is very clean, modern, and well kept with all amenities. We enjoyed all our meals on the upper deck and watched the beautiful sunset over the lake each night. It was an amazing stay! I highly recommend this gem. We will definitely be going back.

Gorgeous Balsam Lakeview Experience!!!

A tranquil and serene place to stay and enjoy the beauty of nature! Such a gorgeous view to enjoy! The hosts of the property were amazing and they had given us all the instructions that were needed! They had done all the careful planning and were very knowledgeable about everything that was needed for the stay and it was the secret ingredient that made it the most marvellous trip for us. The house was super clean and all the amenities that we require were all provided. We had a great time at this cottage! As gratitude we would like to say a huge thank you for your hospitality and May God bless you!

About the host

Hosted by Jessie and Ben

Hi! My name is Jessie. I live with my husband Ben in Toronto. We love travelling and meeting people around. We enjoy lakefront lifestyle and love to share this unique, relaxed experience with people who adore the same thing just like us. You are invited to spoil yourself at the lake and we will try our best to make it a wonderful experience!

Why they chose this property

Kawartha lakes is an outdoor wonderland for every nature lover!
with year round fun, birds watching, golf course, farms, water fun activities, leaf peeping and of course, the winter carnival for ice fishing, skating, snowshoeing and snowmobile. We are actually steps away from famous snowmobile trails.

What makes this property unique

This lakefront property sits on the best west facing spot of beautiful Balsam Lake where you can enjoy unobstructed and spectacular view of the lake from house, decks, and yard! Living in this cottage is truly living by the lake and our location is unbeatable!! It is newly renovated inside-out and decorated by professional interior designer with lots of aesthetic thoughts and modern amenities. We care this lovely home with a passion for waterfront lifestyle. We keep it sparkling clean and as enjoyable as can be. 5 star review from every single guest who had stayed with us since day 1 of listing. So definitely check us out anytime when you want a vacation~
