We've been cottage hopping every year, but stopped ever since we found this place. The location is excellent. The cottage is really beautiful, well kept/stocked and the host is incredibly responsive. Will definitely be coming here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront cottage! Our group of 11, which included a few young children, adults, and a couple of seniors, had more than enough space to relax and enjoy our time together. The layout of the cottage is excellent for large families, with plenty of room to gather while still allowing everyone to have their own space.The outdoor spaces were one of the highlights of our stay. We loved having seating at the dock, around the fire pit, and on both the upper and lower decks, making it easy to enjoy the stunning lake views throughout the day. James and Kelly were fantastic hosts. They were welcoming, responsive, and clearly put a great deal of care into making guests feel comfortable. Our family made so many wonderful memories here, from relaxing by the water to spending evenings together around the fire. We would happily recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, spacious, and beautiful getaway for a larger group. We hope to return in the future!

Fantastic place. Really enjoyed our stay and were very communicative. Only issue we had was that beach has been gravelled whereas in the picture it looked like sand in our kids like in the sand, still gets five stars because of how nice everything else was.

We enjoyed our stay over a spring long weekend.The home is well equipped and very funtional overall with great viewes on all levels. We were disappointed there wasn't a BBQ as advertised which left us to figure out alternate meal plans after arrival.The thermostat reset itself to a low 16c temperature mutiple times during the stay which never allowed the basement entertaining area to achieve a comfortable temp.The wood frieplace was used to help with the main floor heat and it worked very well! This may have not been a great choice for our time of year but it would be fantastic for a warmer stay and use of the lake and the property to its fullest.

The Knighton family's cottage is the best you'll find. The host was responsive and the cottage had everything one could want: lots of room, great location, well-stocked, a firepit and a huge lakeside deck, gentle water entey for kids, multiple sitting/play areas, SUPs and lifejackets to go around, nothing was missing. My family came from all over the US and Canada, ages 3 to 65, it worked great for us.

Family getaway

We had amazing family getaway. The accommodations were amazing plenty of space and things to do. we visited in the winter and enjoyed watching a family movie next to a cosy fire. There was tons of snow and there were beautiful views of the snow covered lake. We look forward to returning in the summer and enjoying the lake.

Amazing find

Our group had a blast at Lisa’s cottage. The waterfront is beautiful and so is the house. We had lots of space and activities to keep us entertained while it rained. There was something for everyone. When the sun came out we were able to take advantage of the beautiful weather and enjoy the lake. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to be back in future.

This is an amazing place.

This is an amazing place. We spent 10 days during our semi annual family gathering. We enjoyed the fire pit and the swimming and paddle boards. The bedrooms are all great including the bunk beds. I haven’t slept in as bunk bed since I was a kid but these are not IKEA! I would recommend this location as long as you can handle the long walk down the stairs to the to the beach. Our age group was 71 to 86 and we were good with it. Beautiful landscaping

Wonderful stay!

We had a group of friends up here to celebrate our upcoming wedding and it was an AMAZING place! We had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and the rooms easily accommodated our group of 11. The place was clean, exactly as shown in the photos, and the dock/waterfront was SO relaxing. We spent an evening by the firepit and it was definitely a highlight of the stay. Having a dryer was much appreciated when it rained one day while we were out golfing. Only things I'd advise future renters on; - don't forget to read the document the owners send with all the info, I missed it and ended up asking them a number of questions that were already answered - plan for garbage removal! You must take all your trash & recycling with you at the end of your stay and we were almost out of room in our car. If we had planned, we would've taken smaller bags with us on days we went into town.

Our 2023 Trip to Muskoka

Overall it is a very nice cottage, with good location and road access. Our family of 9 adults and two children under 10 enjoyed our stay. We offer the following additional comments pro and con for your consideration. Pro: • Easy parking for four vehicles • Nice view from the house and balcony, • Beautiful landscaping, • Dock large and very stable, • Good fishing, • Fire pit was well located and very useful, • Reliable wifi, • Lots of tvs, • Comfortable furniture, • Nice bedding, • Ping pong table was great fun for the kids (and adults), • Paddle boards were very enjoyable; • Beautiful view of the stars on clear nights, Con: • Dryer broke down on the Saturday a few days after we arrived. The repairman did not arrive by Wednesday, the day we left, • Kitchen & dining area are rather cramped if all 6 bedrooms occupied, • The dock is relatively far & pathway quite sloped away from the house, making it difficult to access for older people; • There is some erosion around the path to the lake about half-way down with water seeping through, making it necessary to walk on the stones to the side of the path which can be unstable, • Garbage dump is really far (~30 minutes drive). • No adult life jackets, • Limited thermostat control and cold basement rooms, • Some things seemed to be in disrepair (ie several broken Muskoka chairs at fire pit, dehumidifier in basement was never running, the dryer as noted, canoe paddles)

Hello Keith, We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Sorry to hear that some of our amenities did not meet your satisfaction. We sincerely appreciate the feedback so that we can continue to improve our guest experience. We looked into all of these issues and hopefully will this shed some light on your concerns. We had the dryer looked at by our repair man as soon as possible and it he found it was not broken. It was in perfect working condition. I can confirm this because we were at the cottage following your stay and used the dryer several times. Not sure what happened during your stay, sorry about that. The erosion you are referring to on our path leading to the lake was caused by bad storm shortly before your stay with us and a tree fell and cracked one of our stones along the path and left a indent in the grass. We noticed the same thing and walked to the left of the stone on the landscaped grass. We are looking into getting that fixed immediately. We allow our guests full use of the thermostat and don’t place any restrictions on how hot or cold you would like the temperature to be. Basements are normally more cold than the main floor. We have several resin Muskoka chairs surrounding our fire pit area and at the dock, which are very sturdy and not at all broken. The broken Muskoka chairs you are referring to are extra plastic chairs that someone brought and left there. We don’t leave the dehumidifier running and leave it up to the guests if they would like to turn it on or not with no restrictions on use. There are paddles for the stand up paddle boards and the canoe located near the dock. As for the slope towards the lake. Unfortunately, we are located on the top of the hill…however, that’s why there is the great view! :) We have a very detailed description and pictures on our site which state that the path leading to the lake is sloped and may not be ideal for some people. this is definitely something to keep in mind before booking. Thanks again for staying with us and all of the great feedback. The Knighton’s

This is a great cottage for a few families to stay! Lots of space, bunk beds for the kids were a hit, plus a loft with toys, games and movies. The lake view is beautiful and the water was warm with a little beach area. It was clean and James and Kelly were very responsive hosts. 10/10!

This is THE place

Went with a group of girls for a bachelorette weekend. Nothing exciting just a low key girls tripe away. I am not particularly outdoorsy and a bit of a princess. This place totally exceeded my expectations. Get the cottage experience without roughing it! All the girls were comfortable and had a blast. I will definitely be back with family!
