A gorgeous stay that exceeded expectations!
This was a beautiful lakeside cottage with the most amazing views. Even more beautiful in person. The home was really comfortable and had everything you need for an incredible stay. It was the perfect place to spend the weekend with my loved ones and I couldn't recommend this place enough.

The perfect lakeside Muskoka cottage!
My family had a great time staying at Stephanie's cottage in Bala. The location was perfect and the cottage itself was very clean, beautifully furnished and decorated and the kitchen was perfect with 2 full size fridges! Also the hottub and hammocks by the lake and the oversized firepit all gave us the sense that we were at a resort but with all of the amenities and comforts of home. It was a great place to enjoy the last days of summer, thank you Stephanie and Peter! Ashli

Fabulous Property
We had a wonderful time at Woodhaven. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well stocked with necessities. There were several places to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Muskoka. The location was excellent - only a couple of minutes in to Bala with everything you’d need available there. Stephanie and John were incredibly responsive and excellent hosts.

Perfection!
After over two years of no vacation, my wife and I needed a peaceful getaway from the wilds of Washington, DC! Choosing this gorgeous property was one of the best travel decisions we ever made. The hosts were communicative, friendly, and very kind. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a charming welcome basket and Steph’s Dad who explained everything in-depth. We especially loved the amazing view, hot tub (which we used daily), and the well-stocked kitchen (including a pizza slicer and even birthday cake candles)! Anything you could possibly want or need for a pleasant stay is included! This cottage is a definite TEN +. Very LGBTQ+ friendly. Enjoy!
