Had a great stay with my family at this rustic cottage. The property was one of the most private ones that we saw from the river. Check-in was a breeze, the kitchen was well-equipped, bedrooms were comfortable, and outdoor amenities (hot tub, fire pit, canoe/kayaks) were great. Burnt River is great for swimming, and kayaking. I’d definitely recommend this cottage to others looking for a relaxing get away.

This cozy cottage is a great place to stay! My friends and I loved staying here, the water was so wonderful to swim in and we enjoyed kayaking and playing games at night! The only reason I did not give a full 5 stars is that we needed to bring our own linens which was difficult as we all flew in to get here and there were some very minor details missing. Kuddos to the hosts, they were very prompt to reply to messages. I would definitely recommend this place to stay at for a relaxing rustic cottage weekend.

Great location along a quiet and private section of the Burnt River, incredibly peaceful and relaxing listening to the birds on arrival.Cottage was very comfortable with great air conditioning for the hot summer weeks and we all slept great. We have a very nervous and reactive dog and appreciated the private nature of the property. Water was great and one of the best spots along the river as far as we could see!Easy 15 minute drive to Fenelon Falls was perfect for many lunch options etc and a great home base to explore the region!

Lovely views

We really enjoyed the location and property. Lots of features and amenities exactly as advertised. Great hosts who were responsive and polite. However, when we first checked in there was dog fur from a previous guest over all of the couches, floors etc. and we found used (smoked) joints inside the cottage. It wasn’t cleaned very well between our stay and the previous guests. We also found the back door screen off of the door, leaning against the back wall, so we could not have the back door open to let the breeze in without also having all the bugs come in. Hopefully this was already known by the owners and I won’t be getting blamed for that. The propane tank for the BBQ was empty, though they do leave spare ones on site for guests to swap out.

5 day get away with our adult kids. We really enjoyed the canoe and kayaks. The cottage had comfy beds and a variety of kitchen appliances. The deck and hot tub was a great hit along with the fire pit. Lots of time for relaxing and games. We hope to return. GREAT HOSTS! THANK YOU Neil and Shanna.

Perfect Fall Getaway

We spent three nights in this charming, rustic cottage and loved every minute of it! We felt right at home as the cottage had all the amenities that we needed for a peaceful and relaxing fall mini vacation. A large waterfront property with a stunning view of the river. Many hours were spent dockside enjoying the fresh air and the scenery. Can’t wait to visit again!

Perfect cottage getaway

Everything was wonderful from start to finish! Check-in was easy. Had a nice classic cottage feel, in a lovely location, with a beautiful view over the river. Although there are neighboring cottages, was quiet and private. Loved relaxing in the hot tub overlooking the river, and BBQ dinners on the deck. No complaints!

This is a wonderful cottage in a beautiful spot on Burnt River. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing, campfires, and the many great games that are available. Abundant water was supplied, as well as a full propane tank for the BBQ. Communication was always easy and prompt. Highly recommended.

An amazing place

My family and I just stayed at this wonderful place and had an amazing time. It is very clean and well maintained. The hosts, Neil and Shanna were excellent. They responded so quickly and were very helpful whenever I had a question. There is so much you can do here. If you want you can swim, fish, paddle on the river or maybe have a fire and some smores. At the end of the day soak in the hot tub, which was so good and maybe watch one of the many movies available. We had an amazing time and hope to go back next summer. Thank you Neil and Shanna.
