Avis Beautiful Sunsets, 2kayaks,SUP,canoe,hot tub,outdoor living on Boathouse,Playset

This was our 6th year of taking our kids and grandkids to a cottage. This cottage did not disappoint. Spent most of our week at the water. Between the dock and boathouse, we had beautiful views of Lake Muskoka. There was ample space at the docks and on the boathouse roof so all of us could enjoy our family week. Thank you for an amazing week!

It was the most amazing cottage I’ve ever stayed at. Thank you for sharing your lovely property with us. If the opportunity arises would definitely rent it again!

Convenient location with lovely views. Cottage was well-equipped, including SUP, kayaks and canoe as well as water toys and play equipment for the children

Thank you.

Wonderful experience for everyone in our family. Loved having the kayaks, paddle board, and area above the boat house was sublime. Wished the kitchen was just a little larger and that it wasn’t so difficult to deal with food waste in the sink, but otherwise loved every minute! Really appreciate the responsiveness to our questions.

This property has a great deal to offer families. The outdoor spaces are incredible. The deck on top of the boathouse is the star of the show with a hot tub, huge table for meals, and plenty of reclined lounge chairs to enjoy the afternoon sun or a gorgeous sunset. If the sun is too hot for comfort there is a second large seating area below with another large table that is shaded most of the time. There is even a seating area just outside the door surrounding the propane grill. Although not featured in any of the pictures, this area turned out to be of great benefit to our group. The men would often sit here to enjoy a beer while cooking dinner on the barbecue, leaving the women to enjoy their own conversation indoors. Other reviewers mentioned that the abundance of furniture made the indoor space feel crowded. This was not a problem for our group of 8 adults and one small child. If anything we appreciated being able to gather all together for a movie or an indoor meal. The architecture of the house, with many non-right angles, seemed to dictate furniture placement to some degree. Even the stairs entered the living space at an angle. If there were people gathered in one area, you could always reverse direction and enter the kitchen from the opposite side. One thing I always appreciate in a week-long rental is an attention to decoration that promotes conversation relevant to the area. This place abounded in such opportunities. From the perfect scale models of actual historical Muskoka steamships, to the beautiful eagle statue, to the faces that personified the trees with an ancient, mystical character - there was always an opportunity for conversation, intrigue, or just quiet reflection. Being so close to Gravenhurst I was initially concerned that boat traffic would be a problem. It turns out that there is an island in front of the cottage that is perfectly placed to keep boats on the deep water side, leaving the water in front of the boathouse and dock safe for swimmers. Even on the days when high winds would have dissuaded all but the largest boats from the big water of Lake Muskoka, our little section of Muskoka bay remained reasonably calm and navigable. Donna was a marvelous host during our stay, always available to answer any questions we had. We all thoroughly enjoyed our week of Muskoka bliss! Thank you Donna!

We spent a week at ViewPoint with our 4 adult children and their families. The access to the water from many different locations was a hit with the kids. Dock was great for family suppers. Boathouse provided a spectacular view and hot tub gatherings. The floating docks were perfect and we spent many hours jumping and playing in the water. The grandchildren enjoyed the daily visits by mama duck and her ducklings. Trista was easily accessible and responded to all inquiries quickly. Wonderful family time.

We had two family's up for the week and had a mix of sun and rain. Cottage had several indoor spaces to accommodate adults and kids. The outdoor area is outstanding with the multiple docks and boat house that included a hot tub. Only minutes from downtown Gravenhurst.

I stayed here for a week with my teenagers and parents. The cottage is kept very clean and the owner was easy to reach and work with. The waterfront is also beautiful and well-kept.

We had two families (nine people) stay for one week. The good: The waterfront is excellent, 11 out of 10. The water gets deep fast, but the children, aged seven to ten, all had a great time swimming with their life jackets on. We spent most of the days down by the water and it was beautiful. It was awesome to see the sun set over the lake. It was also really nice that the cottage is so close to town, it was easy to shop and get groceries. Could improve: As another reviewer mentioned, there is alot of furniture in the house, most of which is fairly old. There are also alot of old kitchen utensils. Its not such a big deal though, it causes the space to feel slightly cluttered but it did not negatively impact our stay. The clothes dryer was also broken and there wasn't enough clothes line outside to hang up a load of laundry. Our biggest complaint was the property manager. She was a nice lady, and helpful when we asked, but she honestly showed up almost every day... often unannounced. It felt like an invasion of our privacy and that she was checking-in on us. On the last day, she arrived early (before checkout) and started cleaning. It felt like we were being rushed and our privacy was not respected. Of all the rentals I have done, I have never seen this type of behaviour before.
