Lovely quiet and charming property
Really nice property located about 10 minutes outside of Fenelon Falls. Property has been beautifully updated and has all needed amenities. It’s a short walk from the lake at the end of the road. I did book thinking the property was directly on the lake but wasn’t overly disappointed that it was a backlot with slight slivers of lake view from the property in front.
It’s a very nice quiet getaway location for a couple or small family. My daughter and I were looking to just relax and read and it worked for us perfectly.
The host is very responsive and the whole booking experience & communication was very easy.

Great expectations
Accommodation wasn’t bad in a nice area but expectations from location description was not accurate to actual stay. Host advised of deeded access to water but later upon check in stated that you were not allowed to access water from property but rather 1/2 a block from actual cottage down street which was very inconvenient and rather a weedy slippery access to the water.
As well description stated restaurants with blocks of cottage but were actually a 15 minute drive instead.
Overall cottage was clean and appeared well maintained and was in close driving distance to Provincial Park for better water access and beaches.
