Family Fun at Harmony Lane
It was a delight to walk into the cottage and see the lake through the wall of windows. My daughter and I spent as much time as we could outside- sipping morning coffee in the Muskoka chairs on the new dock, reading in the shade of the black willows and enjoying the quiet of the lake. My son and his family came up for the afternoon and the kids loved the kayaks and the dinner on the outdoor deck. The A/C was a bonus as the heatwave continued throughout our stay. Thank you Chris for a terrific cottage family time before the family headed to all points of the globe.

The property was a modern and clean cottage with great amenities. My children were enamored with kayaking. The proximity to Kingston was great for day trips. The kitchen had all the amenities as if we were at home. The check-in and checkout process were simple.

Delightful lake view cottage getaway
Five old friends came from Montreal, Toronto and BC to spend a few days together. The cottage is fresh, new and comfortable for our games, stories and laughter. Host Chris made himself accessible for all our many questions both before and during the stay, and was extremely accommodating when we had to change our dates.
We spent many an hour birdwatching, including the fall migration gathering of hundreds of cormorants! A first even for the avid birder! The grounds and cottage were immaculate, appliances upgraded and the beds comfortable. A very well equipped kitchen, including full coffee and tea supplies. This is a new accommodation that the hosts have many more plans for. You should enjoy your stay!

Great stay!
Great two week stay. Surpassed our expectations. Everything is new, from windows, to dishes, to beds, to appliances,... Ate most of our meals at the cottage and never had to worry about not having the appropriate kitchen wares to cook. Incredibly quiet and lots of birds to watch. Lake was warm, but have to walk through some weeds and water shoes highly recommended.

Great cottage close to Kingston
We had a great stay and really enjoyed the proximity to berry picking and downtown Kingston. Nice peaceful spot with lots of birds to watch and a great view of the water. If you are thinking about swimming water shoes are recommended. The cottage is well stocked and seems relatively new. It was great for a short family getaway.

Great little getaway
My family and I had a great time at the cottage. Chris was communicative and there were ample supplies to ensure our stay was comfortable. I would just echo the other reviews mentioning the potential for side table lamps. It would be nice to have some soft ambient light in the evenings as opposed to only bright overhead lights. Overall we would recommend this cottage to others.

Enjoying to stay at cottage by the lake
We stayed at this cottage for 4four days to attended my daughter graduation at Queens Unv. Also to have a relaxing time at the Harmony Lane cottage.
The cottage was very clean, updated from kitchen to bedrooms. Also we had all equipments and utensils for cooking at the cottage with a good working AC.
Chris is a great host and he communicate with us to bring drinking water since cottage has filtered water from lake, also we brought our bedding sheets and towels.
We are also greeted by swans and Canadian geese’s at this part of lake early mornings.
We had an enjoyable time at this cottage, and thank you Chris

A Mixed Bag
On the plus side, this property is nicely privatized and quiet with amazing views of a pretty lake and many swans. There are new windows all across the front to take advantage of this. There are well-appointed seating areas outside with a fire pit. The kitchen is lovely, very well equipped and the appliances are high end. There is a plentiful stock of condiments, shampoos, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee etc. There is strong wifi and a tv. The new mattresses were great.
On the other hand, as in the listing, you need to bring your own bed linens. You also need to bring your own bath towels and washcloths. The water is not drinkable - so bring your own! Although there are lots of strong recessed ceiling lights, there are no lamps and no bedside lamps. There is one pillow each (if there are 6 people). There are no closets or hooks or drawers for coats and clothing.
The host/owner was very communicative and responded to any issues quickly.

We spent a couple of days in this cottage to explore the area of Kingston and the Thousand Islands. It is a beautiful location with everything you need and with a direct access to the lake. Perfect place to rest and enjoy the nature in between visits.
