Amazing stay at a beautiful cottage. The beach is perfect for kids. The kids loved playing in the sand and the water is clean and clear. It's in a prefect location to take a day trip into town.

Thank you very much, Slava for your feedback. We will be happy to have you over again next year.
Lara was there to welcome us when we got there. Her and her husband went through all the things available to us during our stay. The kitchen was stocked extremely well and drawers labelled so you could find everything. Not only was the table inside big enough for all 9 of us but so was the table on the deck. There are beautiful trees so shade somewhere in the back yard throughout the day. Our grandsons loved the sandy area for playing. The yard is so big the boys played, soccer and baseball. We even played bucket golf and lots of room for 9 holes lol. There is 2 adult and 2 youth kayaks so we were able to go out as a group. ( life jackets included as well). We took our fire stick so the boys could watch a movie before bed. The bedrooms are spacious and we all had plenty of room. There are two bathrooms both spacious for all of us. This is our fourth time staying in the Fenelon Falls/ Bobcaygen area and this is the best!! Larissa and her husband are the best hosts. Everything was wonderful. I can’t say enough good about them.

Thank you, Adrian. Glad that you had a good time during Thanksgiving weekend! We really appreciate how you took care about our cottage during your stay! Would love to have you over again in the future.
We had another amazing week at the Sun Bay Cottage! The location is perfect and the kids played on the beach and in the water all day. The host is amazing and so easy to contact if you need anything, but since they have thought of everything you never need to contact them.

Thank you Louise, for another great review. We are so glad that this time again you and your family had a great time! Looking forward to see you at our cottage anytime!
Went for a girls weekend and we really enjoyed the cottage. It is spacious with beautiful views of the lake. It is tucked away in a small inlet away from the busier parts of the lake. The owners were helpful and kind. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you, Brandon and looking forward to see you again soon.
This cottage was spotless! It accommodated our family of nine very comfortably. The kitchen was so well stocked we didn’t use any of our own utensils or fry pans! The sandy beach area was ideal for our 4 grandchildren and the swimming area was nice and weed free. This one is a repeat visit!

Thank you very much, Mary for great review and we glad that your family had a great time at our cottage. Huge thanks for treating our property as your own and keeping it clean.
Hoping to see you against next year.
It was my sons long weekend vacation with his newlywed wife who were married on august 30 2025. They had a few nurses from their wedding party, and they all thought the place was the nicest cottage they had ever been in. Plus the view by the lake was absolutely stunning. We will be definitely booking it next summer for 10 days. They also spent thanksgiving Monday in Fenlon falls at that beautiful park near the lift locks ! Thank you Larisa their host
Easy check in, clean and friendly host. I like how we got a welcome compliments and have a tour on the day of our arrival. We had a wonderful and awesome getaway with our friends. For sure we will come back again, thank you Lara for your beautiful cottage.

Thank you, Leslie. Glad that you had a good time and looking forward to have your friends and you over again.
Our stay at the cottage was fantastic! With a group of 8, including both adults and children, we enjoyed every moment. The property offered great water activities and a spacious yard perfect for kids. Nights by the fire pit were a highlight, and the comfortable, well-equipped home had everything we needed. A top-notch choice for families seeking a memorable retreat.

We had a wonderful time at this amazing cottage. Lara provided an effective and concise orientation and was very attentive to any questions we had during our stay. We loved the nice grassy area for playing games, the outdoor gazebo with screens and a big table, and lots of other outdoor seating.
