We stayed at this cottage in mid-June, and found the lake to be very peaceful. Proximity to Bracebridge was appreciated for grocery runs, and for a trip to the Farmer's Market on Saturday.
Brendan was a great host and sent a detailed check-in and check-out procedure that had no onerous requirements, and made check-in very easy.
This property and cottage are a gem. There is a terrific dock and beautiful, shallow beach areas that are ideal for groups with young children. The cottage itself was spotless and very well-appointed. Beds, linens, dishes, and furniture were spotless. Water pressure in the showers was good, and there was plenty of hot water for showers; appliances were modern and functioned well.
Our group had a three-year old toddler and an infant under one, and found the property made it easy to keep an eye on them. While there is no air conditioning, the side of the cottage facing the lake has plenty of windows and screen doors, and it was easy to use a cross-breeze to cool the cottage at night.
