Pleasant quiet week
Swimming was good although had to walk in, no diving. Saw and heard a loon family every day. Nice touch to have firewood ready for us to have a little bonfire. Everything worked as it should. One small item to note is to bring sheets for a queen sized bed in the main bedroom (not double). There is a twin over double bunk bed in the other bedroom.

Big bass!!
House was nice and clean. Has everything you need. The grill gave food a good taste. Lakefront with a dock and kayaks/canoe. There is a ton of big bass in the lake. They say there is trout also but have to troll on a boat to catch. The backcountry of Algonquin State Park near Tim River is about 30 minutes away. It is pretty secluded back there. I was surprised by how many restaurants were in Kearney (nearby town). DJ’s restaurant has very good food and service.

Needs a update all around
We enjoyed the beautiful view and location on the water.But thought the cabin could use some comfortable and updated coach and mattress and at times air-conditioning would have been nice.Will stick to are USA cabins so much more for the price.

Great week of relaxation!
My husband and I just returned from a great week at Grass Lake. The cottage itself is the perfect size for a couple or small family. Everything was clean and organized when we arrived - everything you could possibly need is made available to you! The lake itself is so clean, so quiet and so peaceful. We had a great time out on our kayaks fishing every day! Would be happy to return again next year... Thank you Bryan and family for giving us such a lovely place to vacation!

Beautiful cottage
The perfect size for a family or couple with an amazing view and beautiful lake to enjoy. I'd definitely stay there again. But make sure you download offline directions, getting there was reasonably easy but data and networks could be patchy. WiFi included at the cottage.

The Perfect Getaway
If you’re looking for a lakefront cottage for a small group of friends or family - this is the place. It’s better than the photos in the listing - beautiful view with a fire pit, kayaks & canoes for visitor use, and a lovely cottage with lots of windows for natural light and a view at every angle. Thank you Brian for a great weekend away. We’ll definitely be back!

Winter wonderland
What a beautiful place to visit. Definitely recommend staying in February as the view from the cottage of the frozen lake was fantastic. I have never visited somewhere so peaceful with no neighbours around ( may be less peaceful in the summer). Great combination of being able to cosy up in the living room watching the birds on the bird feeder with the lake in the background and being active. Outside we went snowshoeing on the lake and on the cottage's private acerage/ Crown Land across the road ( access through the green gate). You make your own trail so this was tough going in the thick snow but great exercise. Cottage was very clean, warm and bigger than I expected. Added bonus was being able to take our dogs. We even managed to have a beer on the frozen dock watching the sun set. Thanks Bryan for the relaxing visit just what we needed.

We loved our stay at the Grassroots cottage. It was clean and had everything we needed. Right on the water and shallow enough for our three young kids to dip their toes in. The beds were comfortable and all appliances worked well. We hope to come back someday.

Beautiful cabin and stunning view!
We visited Grassroots in late December and the view was stunning. The cabin looked out over the frozen lake and the snow covered forest was breathtaking. The cabin had all the amenities required to enjoy the stay during the winter and it was well kept and clean. Would recommend for any season!
