Lovely River Front Stay
My wife and I booked this Cozy Rusty Cottage as our Christmas gifts to each other and had a lovely stay despite the rainy and warm weather. The hosts were very clear with communication and gave lots of instructions and rules regarding the visit. We enjoyed the hot tub, the view of the river in the backyard and the fireplace inside the cabin. It was very private, peaceful and romantic. We are interested in renting this cabin in the summer to take advantage of the water sports available!

Lovely Visit
The cottage and property are exactly as described; tranquil, fun and beautiful. We really enjoyed being on a river, opposed to a lake for a change. All of the water amenities provided; canoe, kayaks and paddle boat is amazing. The hosts provide easy to follow instructions regarding every aspect of the cottage. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

Muskoka vibes in Kawarthas
The road in to the cottage was well marked and easy to navigate. We had clear instructions upon check in and check out. The cottage was tidy, clean, well organized and the kitchen was well stocked with condiments/necessities. The kids loved the variety of board games, fire pit for hanging out around/roasting marshmallows and water toys available. We appreciated the number of charging stations and consistency of internet. There are 3 bedrooms, not 4 and we’re confused by the listing. The depth of the river was great - we enjoyed the ease at which we could swim and dive. The wrap around deck, outside eating area and hot tub were an absolute hit!

Relaxing Riverfront Retreat
We had a lovely stay. The cottage is cozy and rustic and nicely decorated. The river and forest is quiet and relaxing. The kayaks were fun and the hot tub and deck were fantastic. Great lake views! It is also a quick drive into town for dinner, shopping, the beach and ice cream. We would love to come back!

Wonderful stay at Kawartha Lakes
We had a great time staying at this property. The cottage was sparkling clean, cosy, there are LOTS of indoor and outdoor games for every age, a fully equipped kitchen and the hot tub overlooking the river is a really nice bonus. Neil was very responsive to the questions we had before ans during our stay.

Girls getaway
We had an amazing 3 days at Neil’s cottage. The property is quiet and beautiful and had everything we needed. The river and dock is a beautiful place to sit.There are walking trails nearby and towns close if we needed anything. There were 6 of us and had lots of room for relaxing and sleeping arrangements. Nice touch with the snacks left for us and cottage was well stocked. Will definitely want to go back in the warmer summer months Thank you Neil!

Nice but improvement is possible!
Overall we had a good stay! The cottage is well equipped, the setting is nice, hot tub and kayaks were fun but things could have been better! When we arrived the garbage bin was partly filled with rotting garbage and the grass hadn't been cut for some time. Inside we found poorly cleaned stained cups, dirty frying pans. The cottage is surficially clean but not cleaned well. The garbage/recycling system is complicated/poorly defined and when you first use the toilet you're greeted, for the first time, by a wall poster outlining fines for various garbage bag/ recycling infractions. Bedding, towels, pillows are not supplied and a couple items that were listed as supplied were absent. In conclusion a nice cottage but a bit more attention to detail would make it better!

Fun at the Burnt River Cottage
We enjoyed our week-long stay Aug 2022. The hosts were great. A Nice clean cottage. The river was calm and great for kayaking, paddle boating, and some early morning fishing off the dock fishing. We'll organized by the hosts. Kitchen was well stocked for anything we needed to cook. Beds were comfortable. Lots and lots of great games. The raised deck and Hot tub was great for relaxing watching the river go by after a busy day. Short drives to Coboconk, Fenlon Falls, Balsam Conservation Area Beach, and Bobcaygeon.

Let the river steer you
Having the Burnt River in the backyard was great. You can kayak in either direction for hours and see all sorts of fun things. The cottage felt very "home-y" and my kids had a great time. Bring your bikes and go for a ride on the gravel roads! Take a short drive to Fenelon Falls to see the lock operate. Even though I live near the Welland canal, seeing this smaller lock in action was still fun. Or find the Victorial Rail Trail and read about its history from over 100 years ago! Lots to see, do and learn on this vacation.

Amazing Cottage!
Such a great place to stay. Gorgeous view of the river. Kids loved swimming, fishing, pedal boat, kayaks. We caught some Little Rock bass! Even the dog enjoyed some sun on the dock. Hot tub was a big hit, and then a fire at night. The cottage was spotless and well equipped. Big screen and wifi was perfect for a movie when it rained one night. Close to town, (we went for coffee in the mornings while the kids were still asleep). Loved it all. Thanks Neil and Shanna!
