Ali was very responsive to any questions during our stay. The instructions were clear and the property itself was beautiful.A few minor things we didn’t expect that differed from the listing but, overall, a wonderful experience! Will be back again!

Nice flat property close to Muskoka river. Rustic cottages with lots of sleeping room. Only one kitchen with one fridge available in the main cottage. Would have liked a heads up on that. All in all a nice spot for friend to get together

A Perfect Muskoka Retreat

If you're after a rustic country cottage experience, this rental is right in the woods and perfect for you. The three delightful cottages that border each other can host as many as eighteen people giving a lot of room for people travelling as a group or a number of families at the same time. We had so much fun here at this cabin that we plan on visiting it again next year

When we got there, there was a lot of stuff that was clearly old and worn down, broken. The drying rack in the kitchen was covered in black mold, all of the dishes were dirty when we went to use them. The bathroom door in the yellow cottage did not close. The main cottage the red one had no hot water.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The cottage is rustic, exactly as advertised, and the listing represents it fairly. The three separate cottages worked well for our group, the waterfront was beautiful, and Ali was always quick to respond to our questions.Our 3-star rating reflects avoidable management and maintenance issues, not the rustic nature of the property.The biggest issue was the garbage, recycling and compost process. The listing provides specific disposal limits at the bins near the end of the road, so we planned our stay accordingly. The day before checkout, however, we were told that all garbage, recycling and compost had to be taken to the landfill instead. This was frustrating because the cottage had no recycling or compost bins and only one small garbage can for a property that sleeps a large group. There was no practical way to sort and store waste during our stay. We were told the landfill was about 9 minutes away, but it was actually closer to 17 minutes each way. Fortunately, someone in our group had room in his truck and access to a bin at home. Otherwise, checkout would have been significantly more difficult.There are also a few maintenance items that should be addressed. One dock has a hole with exposed nail heads, another has low tree branches hanging over it, and the grounds could use some attention.Overall, we had a great weekend. With consistent checkout instructions and some basic maintenance, this would easily have been a 4- or 5-star stay.

Thanks for your details response. The deck you mentioned is not for your to use. You should have uese only one deck on the picture. About garbage disposal, it's clearly mentioned in our listing. You should have read more carefully.

Fire safety hazard, black mold and owner who lied!

Not only was this place a fire hazard with no working smoke detectors. The owner lied about it and then came and said that they were there but they weren’t and when he was cold on it, he installed new ones. One of the cabins has black mold, and while they do charge for a basic cleaning. It was very clear that this was not done. There are many other rats of the cabin from leaving plastic cables in lighter fluid against baseboard heaters to Muskoka chairs near the fire pit with nail sticking out we ended up providing full pictures and evidence on our first day to Vrbo and getting a refund. Lastly, well. verbal prize itself, and advertises itself as the owner is not being there this owner did show up and not only that stated a cabin nearby and watch us the whole weekend. I will never rent with Vrbo again. Furthermore Vrbo lied when they promised that this cabin will no longer be allowed to be on their system and clearly is still available. Shameful and completely against what they advertise. We have pictures to prove everything and we documented everything!

My goodness!!! This guest tried his best to claim 100% mony from me by reporting various issues to Vrbo but nothing proved. Be careful with this person! Please look at others reviews here and airbnb. I am a superhost. Nothing here is true.
