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.

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

Our stay at the cottage was fantastic! With a group of 8, including both adults and children, we enjoyed every moment.
