Great Getaway
This was an amazing cottage, the facilities were clean and fully stocked. The lake and property were beautiful and it is located close to both Arrowhead provincial park and Algonquin provincial park. Steve was a great host and communicated effectively, the cottage was also very intentionally outfitted. I would recommend it to anyone booking and will be sure to return!

Quaint cottage in a great location
Rustic cottage in a perfect location. 15 minute drive to Huntsville and about 25 minutes to Algonquin Park. Has everything you need including lots of firewood, a well equipped kitchen, and a BBQ. Could use a dishwasher and a TV station or two would be nice for the rainy days. View of the lake is great and it was very quiet. Stairs could be challenging for some people. Steve was quick to respond to questions which was an added bonus. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a real cottage experience close to amenities and the park.

Just what we needed!
We loved the property! It was great for our group of 5 friends looking to relax together by the lake and still be close to the amenities of Huntsville. Lovely sandy waterfront and nice long dock with views of the sunset! We were comfortable in the cottage and also enjoyed the fire pit and walking trail along the water. Extra thanks to Steve for filling the bird feeder so we could be washing the dishes with a Bluejay right in front of us.

August 2024 Stay
This was our 3rd stay at this property. Clean and well equipped. 2 paddle boards and a canoe available for guest use. Great location in close proximity to Huntsville/Dwight/Dorset/Algonquin Park. Good dock (we have a 19' bowrider). Boat launch at TallyHo is good and a short 10 min drive away. Boating is great with access to Fairy, Mary & Vernon. Lots of firewood provided. Steve is a great host quick to respond to any questions. No complaints! We will be back again!

Quiet and Cozy
This was our second time staying at this property, and we enjoyed ourselves as much this time as the last. The cabin is warm and inviting and just the perfect location to relax and unwind. This property is for anyone who wants to really experience what it is like staying in an authentic cottage in rural Ontario. You would not believe that you are a mere minutes away from the town of Huntsville. Perfect place to unplug and separate yourselves from the rat race. It truly is a blessing that the owners have opened this special place to everyone.

Cottage was 100% as advertised and the surroundings kicked it up a few notches! Steve was very prompt in replying to questions and this made us feel right at home.

We had an amazing time. The cottage was bigger then we expected. The surroundings were beautiful. Deer, stars at night, sunsets, a storm brewing over the lake etc. Coming from Belgium, this was exactly what we needed and wanted to experience.

Idlehour stay
Quaint cozy cottage with a real family feel. Nice cottage on a scenic lake. Great location close to Huntsville and also close to Algonquin Park. We stayed 3 nights during February and were really happy with the choice we made. Felt right at home and would definitely go back at some point in the future. Getting all the details from Steve was really easy and he responed to my questions within an hour of posting. Great experience!! Randy

Winter weekend away
We had a nice stay at Steve's cottage. Ideally situated for winter activities, it is a short drive to Arrowhead and Algonquin Provincial Parks. Although it's close to Huntsville, the property feels remote. The bedrooms are roomy and the kitchen is very well-equipped. There is plenty of space for meals and hanging out. We also enjoyed having a fire in the woodstove. Steve was very quick to respond to messages during our stay. We would love to return another time.
