Beautiful property

The view was spectacular, however the beds and couches could be upgraded to something a little more comfortable. There were many ants in the house. So much space to relax and plenty of seating. Very peaceful area.

Great waterfront

Cottage was lovely, beautiful dock for hanging as a group. Really enjoyed our time. Lots of space inside and out. The cottage is very close to a busy road, which was a bit unexpected and not ideal as we had young children and pets

Fabulous Christmas Vacation!

The Farm House Cottage was just perfect for our Christmas vacation. The host is outstanding and went the extra mile in every way. Magical decorations in a very well appointed cottage. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend booking this fabulous cottage. Very close to Huntsville, we had fun going to Santa’s Village and Back of Beyond Equine Centre for an iconic sleigh ride in the woods! The cottage is very cosy with fabulous lake views, a great property! Will happily rent again!

Week at Farmhouse Cottage

We had a great week at the Farmhouse cottage. It was very clean and organized when we arrived. The kitchen is very well equipped and the cutlery and implements are high quality. All the advertised items worked well and there was lots of space for us. The only issue I noted is it is located very close to Portage Road and there is a fair amount of traffic noise during the day (it does quiet down at night). Thanks for a great stay! Richard

Well stocked with most everything you could want

The house deck was great with 2 entrances and fantastic seating outside with great views of the water for 8+ adults. Kitchen was well stocked with all the basics (lots of plates bowls, cups, glasses, knives, utensils and plenty of cooking acessories (parchment, tin foil, dishwasher soap, etc) Beds were comfy. Property is lovely. Caveates: VERY close the road for dogs, entrance patio bricks sunken and a bit of a tripping hazard

The property was accurately described on the website. The bedrooms were clean and a good size. Kitchen had most everything we needed. Large dining table for family meals. Loved the deck and fire pit. It was a really warm weekend in October so we were swimming and enjoyed the kayaks and canoe. Large property was enjoyed by all.Large dock with lots of Muskoka chairs. Indy was very responsive with all our questions. The farmhouse is right beside the road but the traffic was minimal. Location easy to find. Convenient to Dwight or Huntsville. All plumbing worked well.Dishwasher needs updated racks but worked fine.

Beautifully Restored Waterfront Farmhouse

The property manager, Indy, was extremely helpful in making check in and check out very easy and by quickly responding to any and all questions. The property itself is a beautifully restored old farmhouse that is situated directly on Lake of Bays. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property. The only caveat I might offer would be if you are travelling with elderly or handicapped family members. Being an old farmhouse, the stairs are pretty steep and narrow and could be quite difficult for them to navigate.

Farmhouse Cottage

The farmhouse cottage was overall a great experience. The cottage itself was very clean, and the bedrooms were spacious, and the beds were really comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked and clean. The cottage is close to both Dwight (where there is a Grocery Store as well as Ericka’s Bakery, great coffee, baked yummies and other goodies) and Huntsville. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces, including the fire pit, the dock (with an array of watercrafts, an addition of a water lily for kids would be great) and the outdoor seating areas from which you can see both the vista of the lake and pretty property. We had six adults, two kids and one dog with us and it was very comfortable. Like other reviews have mentioned, the cottage is situated close to a two-lane District Road and while it was not an issue for us, should be kept in consideration, depending on your circumstances. Thank you Indy for a wonderful week up North!
