Happy to return
Returning to McGregor Bay and this cottage in particular is always restorative and relaxing. It’s an old cottage with all the charm of a rustic getaway. The host is always quick to respond. I look forward to returning next year.

Fantastic Location
Beautiful log cabin, very well stocked kitchen, great fishing; unfortunate lack of deep cleaning with resulting mice infestation. Could do with a clear out of broken furniture, out of date food, and an updated VRBO listing of what is really available (ie. equipped with wifi and useful winch to bring goods up from the dock but NO linens/blankets/towels, and only 3 adult life jackets).

3rd year in paradise
Our family enjoyed another amazing week at Darwin's cottage this August. We love the views, peace and quiet, privacy and opportunity to really immerse ourselves in nature. Wildlife this year was particularly plentiful including beaver, mink, a bobcat, porcupines and all kinds of birds and fish. We counted 69 species in all. We hope to be back again for our 4th year. Thanks for being a great host Darwin!

Great Getaway
Perfect spot on McGregor Bay. Gorgeous views, incredible scenery, fabulous paddling, great hiking (ok, a little bushwhacking!). Kayaks, canoe, paddleboard were all lots of fun. Rustic cottage, exactly as advertised — and the dishwasher was an excellent and much-appreciated luxury. We’ll be back!

Second Year on Jumbo Island
We had a wonderful vacation at Darwin's cottage for the 2nd year in a row! Our extended family of 7 had so much fun kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, sitting by the fire and generally just enjoying being in this special place. The view from the front of the cottage is truly spectacular! Wildlife was abundant! We saw deer, porcupine, beavers, bald eagles, mink and so many fish, birds, frogs and turtles. We felt immersed in nature and were so grateful for another wonderful week! Thank you Darwin! Tina, Sid, Alex, Anita, Simon, Julia and Nick

An amazing region.
We all enjoy this cottage in the heart of McGregor Bay. A part of Georgian Bay that is emblematic of the heart of Canada. It remains preciously unspoiled.
