Book a Apsley Cottage

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were wonderful, caring and welcoming. The home was beautiful as was the surrounding property. Gorgeous pond, flowers, and all sorts of beautiful plants. We would've stayed longer had there been an opening, but we would no doubt come back again on our next trip to Canada. Our room was amazingly clean, the bed was super comfortable, and so warm and inviting. Our hosts recommended a couple places to visit (a wonderful restaurant and a large art/gift shop nearby) and we followed up on their suggestions and both were exceptional! I must add that we had beautiful fall weather during our stay here which made our stay even more exceptional. We highly recommend The Gathering Place on Golden Ponds."

"Clean room and great staff service! The property definitely has a rustic feel and some aspects of the room felt a bit older or outdated, however, it is clear they put a lot of effort into cleaning the space! The only downside of the room was the beds weren't the comfiest. It was a great stay overall for the few nights I was there! "

"We loved this accommodation. We would only recommend a blind or shutters for the bathroom window as it faces a window directly across from another building. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. "

"The kitchen was well set up especially for a large family group as ours. I would like to see a teapot added as wall as one or two extra salad bowls. Otherwise excellent."

"My overnight stay was enjoyable and comfortable. Check in was quick and friendly. My room was spacious (King bed) with some kitchen amenities (cutlery, but no plates/bowls) which was OK, given I was able to improvise. Coffee maker, toaster, microwave and bar fridge were quite handy in use. Bed was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was continental style with bagels, wraps, cereal and fresh fruit offered in a room under construction, but a wonderful way to start the day. Staff were friendly. I would stay again as location is walkable to town, but in a quieter and more green space location.. "

"The property was well maintained, very clean and breakfast was very good. Exceeded our expectations for the night. Owners were very welcoming as well."

"We loved this property, absolutely stunning. So clean so private. If I could give this property a 10 star I would. We definitely recommend this property and will do to all of our friends and family. The beds were so comfortable excellent sleep. The host replies quickly. Thank you for being such awesome hosts!!!"

"The property was absolutely amazing, and everyone in our group had a fantastic stay. The open living space was perfect for gathering, and there were plenty of bathrooms (4) to comfortably accommodate our large group. The home was fully equipped with everything we needed for a stress-free trip.The heated floors were a treat, and the indoor sauna, hot tub, and outdoor heated pool were definite highlights of our stay. Tons of kayaks, paddle boats, 2 docks, and the outdoor area was immaculate.Its location is great, just a short drive into town with lots of restaurants to choose from (and don’t miss Kawartha’s ice cream!).The host was outstanding; quick to respond and incredibly accommodating. When we mentioned we needed a vacuum, she went out and bought a brand new one for the property.Overall, 10/10 experience. We would absolutely come back again!"

"Excellent communication by the host. Very well maintained property with everything you need. Very relaxing location and turned out to be a great destination for team building meeting week. "
