A nice 3-generation getaway at this beautiful cottage
When we entered this cottage, the first look was impressive, with a cottage decor and filled with supplies. The girls particularly loved their loft bedroom. The river was peaceful , making it perfect for stand-up paddle boards that we brought. The canoe provided, the hot tub and the sauna were well used by us. Antone responded promotly when we contacted him. The cleaner apparently did not leave enough compstable bags and hand soap. Antone asked us to purchased the supplies from a local store and he reimbursed us. There was one pen in a drawer not cleaned, but the rest was good. We had good times roasting marshmellows over the firepit. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay there. Thank you, Antone. we too

Great time with our friend reunion!
Very convenient location to get to from the GTA, we had friends coming from different parts of Ontario and all were able to access the location easily. Great outdoor space for a variety of activities like lawn games, laying on the dock, sauna and hottub were great as well. The living room space was smaller than anticipated so we did not use it at all as a larger group. In the summer however this was not a big deal as we spent 90% of our time outside.

Fun and Relaxing Stay
As a party of 12 we found this cottage comfortable and relaxing. The place is organized and everything is easy to use and access, including the hot tub, canoe and paddle boat. Anton's check in process was very clear and he remained communicative throughout our stay, even though he was on vacation. The only downside was that the property was in very close proximity to other cottages. Overall great stay and would consider staying again!

5 day stay
Location is great, only a few minutes from town, we were there Sunday to Friday and the river was very quiet, might be different on a weekend. We didn’t use the loft as our grandkids were too young but am sure kids over 8 would love it, the stairs are steep. Anton was very quick to respond when we had questions which were addressed in the welcome package but we had missed reading! Kitchen very well stocked and high end appliances. We did have to buy compost bags and toilet paper as we ran out but am sure if we had called Anton he would have brought more. There were 6 adults and 3 young children and there was no problem with seats both in and outside. The mattress in one room had very little support so when one couple had to leave a day early our daughter and son in law changed rooms which was somewhat better. There is only one canoe paddle, the other is a kayak paddle so we did bring an extra with us. River is very clear and shallow at edges, perfect for the little ones. All in all we were not disappointed and enjoyed our stay and would visit the area again.

Nice, Cozy and Expensive Cottage On a River
We had a pleasant stay at the Waterfront Family Cottage. Rented for 5 days for 7 adults, the cottage boasts some great amenities including the paddle boat (which needs minor repairs), canoe (with only one actual canoe paddle and one kayak paddle), small dock, fire pit, water toys, and of course hot tub. Inside, the space is definitely cozy. Photos made the place look much bigger than in real life. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the tools you need and plenty of storage space. (Watch the fridge door. It needs a good push to stay closed.) Outside table and chairs situated too far from the cottage to be used. The master bedroom seemed to be the only comfortable bed in the cottage, meaning 5 adults slept very poorly which was a real disappointment. While this was out of the Owners control, there was also construction on another cottage just down from us that caused major noise pollution to what should have been a tranquil and peaceful environment. When mentioned to the owner, there wasn’t even an acknowledgement or empathetic response. Also, there is a train that runs by, adding to the noise factor. It should be mentioned the cottage is on a river. The water is very shallow. While a small area has been sanded right at the edge of the cottage (really nice), expect lots of lake herbage by the end of the dock and no jumping in given the depth. Water is nice and clear. Overall, we had a nice stay but I’m not sure the price tag reflected the overall quality.

Great property for larger groups
Stayed here with extended family for a few nights and it provided everything we needed. Several rooms/beds and a large kitchen/dining area for preparing and eating meals. Two bathrooms and laundry on-site was convenient. Hot Tub worked as expected and the included Canoe and Paddle Boat were enjoyed with immediate access to the water on the property.

Our Family Holiday
We ended up being 5 adults, 2 teens, a toddler and a baby and though the cottage is to sleep more we used it all with no room to spare. It was a quiet area and we swam and fished in the river. It's close to both Orillia and Gravenhurst which was nice. We had a couple of questions during our stay and the host was very prompt at answering and solving them. We would go back. Thanks

Family Fun
We needed a place to meet for a Christmas dinner and found it! Seemed like everything we needed was there, no need to bring things like bowls, muffin tins, games...it's all there. The loft access is more like a ladder to get up to so keep that in mind. Our only negative was the coffee maker was sooo slow...like 20 minutes for a pot to brew we found ourselves joking about driving to the local bakery quicker...but otherwise it was just what we needed for family time 😀
