Perfect for girls’ weekend!

The property was just as described and Dorothy was terrific. While we stayed at her property, we were hit with a large ice storm and despite power for certain things being knocked out, the generator ensured we had lights, refrigeration and hot water. Highly recommend and wouldn’t be surprised if we booked back again. Thanks so much Dorothy!

Cozy Winter Retreat

My husband and I booked this trip to relax/destress after long and difficult year. We ventured out a little bit (to Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery as well as Crossroads restaurant), but looked forward to returning to use the hot-tub and sauna just as much!The location right on the water is amazing, and it is very private which is exactly what we wanted. The bed we stayed in was also very comfortable, and the place is tastefully decorated with lots of live plants. Beautiful.Thanks for a relaxing getaway!
