Perfect Family Getaway!

This spot made for the perfect weekend with family. We wanted to find a spot to celebrate a family member’s 25th anniversary and it worked out so well. A huge fully stocked kitchen allowed us to make some great meals. The amenities made it so much fun for everyone. The lake was so beautiful and clean. Paul and Diane were great hosts. Would highly recommend!

Spacious, great for multiple families

Beautiful lake front, spacious cottage with everything you could possibly need from ages 3 to 75. Our family made lasting memories from volleyball, swimming, canoe, hot tub to local attractions like Santa’s Village, Taboo golf, wake boarding and much more. We will definitely be returning! Paul and Dianne are so kind and very responsive!

Beautiful Place Reasonably Priced

This time we were nine friends and all agreed to take this cottage at Muskoka and we were not disappointed. The owner is very responsive and would go all the way to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The cottage has enough beds to accommodate all with individual bed. It is clean and the lake view is beautiful. Based on the number of people it can take with over all facilities it's well priced. We would not hesitate to go again.

Kids had a great time

The bedrooms and beds, bathrooms, etc. were good. Living area and Kitchen had some issues. The kids enjoyed the lake, canoe, kayak and beach. The lake was perfect for the kids - shallow, clean, and our teenage grandson actually caught his first fish.

Fabulous family spot!

Our family recently stayed at this lovely cottage and we all had a fabulous time. The house is large, well-equipped and spotless. We had toddlers and children and 6 Adults, plenty of room for us all. The sandy beach area was great for the little ones, as was the shallow water. The big kids enjoyed the volleyball court. The property is close to town if you forget anything. We highly recommend this place and thank the owners (who were great to deal with) for the use of of their cottage for our special family vacation.

Great family spot

The location was great with groceries available nearby in Washago. The cottage fit us perfectly with its six bedrooms which stayed cool during the hot days. The only down side was if there were kids running on the upper level they might disturb late sleepers below. The water access was very shallow which was perfect for small children. There were deer flies which were annoying but expected with hot weather. The owners/managers were just down the road and were readily available for any questions.

Not as advertised

Location was good, House was not clean, tuck tape around the windows as trim, main floor hall way was unfinished drywall and poorly done is a nice way to say it. Second floor is painted plywood as flooring and being able to see between the floors at the stairs top riser was great. There was clearly water issues with this house as the staining on the exposed framing indicated this. The smell in the house also indicated that this is an on going issue or the owner failed to mitigate the property in a professional manner. Would be concerned about mold growth between the floors which some was present on the main floor hallway at a raised floor area that had tile but there appears to be moisture problem below the file as the grout was wearing away and soft to the touch. The bed in one of the bedrooms was broken with half of the supporting structure for the mattress collapsed and resting on the floor which caused some sleeping difficulties. The deck was of poor quality and essentially falling apart. Tops of the nails coming up in areas with several boards that were not support and you could push down in to the water. With small children this was an issue in places. The hot tub had a broken hot tub cover. Original payment was declined by owner - sent back with 1k added on after two days of thinking it was set - with four adults having to get time off and all approved we felt trapped and after getting to the cottage we felt cheated. would never rent this place again.

Spacious cottage with lots of outdoor activities and plenty of amenities to host a large family. My 12 family members had so much fun at this cottage. It is an older cottage with lots of rooms and amenities. In addition to the outdoor water activities and the volley ball net, my family loved that the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots, utensils ect, that can support our entire family. We were even able to cook a full meal for everyone in one huge pot . I would overall recommend a stay at this cottage. I would like mention that it is an older cottage, and some older folks in my group would prefer some updated, senior friendly features (like higher toilets). I would also like to note that guests are required to bring their own towels and beddings.

Love this cottage

My wife and I rented this cottage with our friends for the first time this past weekend, and it definitely won't be the last! The cottage was very spacious for 12 guests. Large bedrooms with lots of beds, but the true showstopper was the upstairs space with a huge kitchen and living room area. Floor to ceiling windows with stunning views of the lake. The lake was possibly the nicest lake we've ever stayed on with a sandy bottom and crystal clear water. The lake is shallow and warm, perfect for the kids. The volleyball court was a huge hit and the hot tub was a bonus. We had the pleasure of meeting the hosts Paul and Diane - great people and easy to communicate with. Overall our trip was a 10/10! Looking forward to our next visit.

Best experience

Everything about the cottage and the hosts was above expectations. We had so much fun playing beach volleyball, fishing, gathering around the fire and had everything we needed to make great meals. There was lots of activity, toys and a play area for the kids (1-5 years old). The hosts were great to deal with and went beyond what we expected to make our stay memorable. We will be back again next year.

Great Muskoka Weekend Getaway

Booked this cottage last minute for a large family getaway. Location is great - About 90 minutes' drive for most of the family from the GTA. Cottage was spacious, clean, and kid friendly which was important as the weather had us indoors most of the time. Kitchen /Dining was well equipped and room to easily seat the 10 in our group. Hot tub and fire table added to the winter experience when we were able to get outside. Beds were very comfortable. Great lake views. Hosts very responsive. Would like to go again in the summer or fall.

Exactly What We'd Been Hoping For!

Paul and Diane's cottage is exactly what we were hoping for as an extended family (parents, adult children and spouses, and grandchildren). A beautiful lakeview, with plenty of sand and a long, gradual sandy entrance to the water. The young ones ( 3 and 5 years old) could wade and play with the sand toys, while the adults could make good use of the canoe, paddleboards, and inflatable kayak. On rainy days, the living area was spacious enough to give us all the opportunity to be inside, without feeling like we were living on top of one another. The beds were all comfortable with newer, quality mattresses. The kitchen was well-stocked. Paul and Diane reached out several times to ensure we had everything we needed, and to make us aware of events taking place around the lake the week we were there. Highly recommended for those with young children!

Amazing

Photos don't do this place justice! Bedrooms were perfect for our group. The "Great room" was perfect for large family gathering. Windows everywhere! The lake is shallow enough for the young ones, but not too shallow that the older ones couldn't have fun too! Clearwater Lake is just what it's named with a sandy bottom...nice to walk out and float around. We had a great week.
