About Us

  Awesome place. Highly recommend. Place was very clean, the point of contact delivered us water/firewood and even drove us inland in the rain (for emergency food). We liked it so... read more much we decided to stay another day.

10/10, will go back next season!

  Noah and Marcus are gems when it comes to hosting! Very responsive, and very helpful letting us know of all that is going on and potential excursions and... read more things to do! Having access to a rental boat made our stay that much more complete and Marcus and Noah made sure to let us know many different places to go and visit. We will definitely be going back time and time again!

Would recommend to anyone who would like a quiet, fun weekend away. Will definitely visit again!

  Had a great stay, everything was perfect. Would love to visit again.

  First time visiting a cottage on an island, very quiet and very private place. Marcus is super responsive and on time, so 100% worry free about the shuttling.

  All you can ask for a perfect getaway. Perfect location, clean, has everything you need, clear instructions, timely communications, beautiful beautiful place. Book, pack, and go!

  Marcus and Noah were wonderful hosts.

My stay at this property was fantastic! The location was private and peaceful, making it a true gem. Getting there by boat... read more was a fun experience, and the ride itself was very enjoyable. The property’s hike trail allowed us to explore nature up close, and we were lucky enough to spot some deers along the way. The night sky was absolutely stunning, with beautiful stars lighting up the peaceful surroundings. Overall, this is a perfect place to relax and unwind—highly recommended!

  Noah and Marcus were great! Easy to communicate and very responsible! Stunning place as it advertised, and even better. You'll find everything you need, it feels just like at home.

  Amazing cottage! Having been to Muskoka a few times before but only on day trips, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the accommodation, but it turned out to... read more be in a perfect location with magical surroundings - especially during sunrise and at night. The cottage had a perfect blend of traditional and modern styles, with plenty of nice decorative elements. It had more than enough room for 7 people (the 7th person was $150/per night extra though; there was an air mattress set up in the loft) and was clean and super well-stocked - ping-pong, lots of board games and books (I personally really enjoyed reading the 1980s National Geographic photography book), plenty of firewood, all kinds of cookery, and a great oven. The huge fridge also came with plenty of ice packs...it's really these small details that count. And the dining area with its large windows and long table was unbeatable! Looked even better than the photos on the website. Noah was in charge of the reservation process and answered all of our questions beforehand; Marcus was in charge of the boat trips and he was a great host! He replied promptly to our messages on arranging the boat trips, proactively helped us handle our (lots of) luggage, and was always in a good mood during the rides. Thank you Marcus for pointing out all of the interesting sites and facts during the rides! The rides for check-in and check-out were included, just keep in mind to set up any other boat rides during the stay with Marcus in advance to ensure his availability, as we forgot to do that before arrival, so thanks as well for accommodating us. The only issue we had was that the water would leak from the 2nd-floor bathroom down to the 1st-floor bedroom when the shower was in use. However, Marcus was very apologetic when we alerted him to the issue, and we were able to make do with using the 1st-floor shower for the rest of our stay since the issue would require inspection that would be better done after check-out rather than during the stay. In all, keep up the great work and hope more people discover this gem of a cottage!

  What a beautiful private spot this place is. Our family was really impressed with the property, perfect for our family of 4 adults and 2 kids. The cottage is clean,... read more comfortable and stocked with everything you could need for your stay. Marcus was a fantastic host, he met us over at the cottage and familiarized us with everything we needed to know about the cottage. He was so friendly and helpful, knew so much about the lake, he even brought over a raft for our kids to play on mid stay. The boys especially loved the Mega Jenga blocks! You can see the pride in ownership of this little piece of heaven. What fun! We will be back!

  We stayed at Noah’s cottage in June 2022. Noah was amazing at responding quickly to messages. Marcus is the boat driver, and helped us with anything we... read more needed, boat rides, fire wood, supplies. Marcus was fantastic, always on time and very accommodating. The cottage is in a very quiet setting.

If you’re like me and need shade there is no umbrella on the dock - so while my friends sat in the sun all day - there was really no where for me to sit out of the sun with them. There are a couple chairs in the shade up by the hammock however the grounds are unkept and the chairs were filthy - so not a very inviting area to sit. The pathway down to the dock was not lit - so definitely need a flash light.

The dock was lovely. Marcus put the trampoline and beer fridge out for us as soon as we asked! We couldn’t swim as the water was freezing. 60 degrees.

The cottage is well stocked and nice and clean. The beds were comfortable however if you are bigger adults sleeping in either of the upstairs rooms, just keep in mind the beds are only doubles, so a very tight fit.

The duvets were super comfy the only downside was super old yellow pillows that smelt. We washed all of the pillows in the cottage - which fixed the problem.

Noah was very accommodating and let us bring our 4 small dogs. They loved roaming around outside & swimming off the dock.

We had a lovely time at the cottage. Everything is the add is accurate. Kitchen well supplied, there were movies, games, books, paddles boards, ping pong, etc….

  It is the perfect place to clear your mind and rejuvenate your body. The place brings a sense of tranquility. We loved every ounce of it. The place is a... read more GEM and Marcus, our host was most kind and hospitable.

  Beautiful location. Well stocked cottage with plenty of room and open space design. Marcus was great at communicating and helpful wth all questions. Highly recommend.

  Holidays on the island were wonderful. I have never heard such silence. you can catch fish and gather mushrooms. The water was just super clean and warm.... read more we had an elderly lady with us and she comfortably descended into the water from the side ladder. The house had everything we needed, although we had to save a little water towards the end of the stay ( but I'm sure-if it were necessary - Marcus would bring us more). Marcus gave us a tour of the islands, thanks a lot for that adventure . Unusual atmosphere, clean air - if you need a recharge, you need to come here! we didn't want to leave and hope to come back again. Thanks Noah and Marcus)

  We had such an awesome stay! The dock was so nice to chill on & we enjoyed the most perfect fall weather! The space was perfect for 6 adults &... read more our small dog! Hoping to come back next year to enjoy this cottage in the summertime! 🙂

Definitely worth a visit!

The cottage is the... read more best I've ever stayed in, and we definitely want to return during the summer to try more of the activities. Highly recommend!

  We had a magical stay!

Noah and Marcus were super responsive and provided us with everything we needed for our trip. The house is on an Island and... read more Marcus picked us up on the boat and took us there. So you can expect a unique and wonderful check in process. The view from the house and the private dock is absolutely stunning. We felt comfortable, relaxed, and safe the entire time. There were canoes and kayaks available for free and I would recommend going for a ride on the lake. There is a trail by the house. Following the trail will take you up the hill and there you will get a view of the island, the lake and the surroundings which is extremely rare and surreal. The chances of you seeing some deers and stags are also high. I would definitely suggest going on the trail to make your trip extra special.

Overall I couldn’t imagine our trip being any better than that. Noah and Marcus, thanks again for a wonderful stay. We will be back again for sure!
