    We had a wonderful time. We got to see the sunrise and set every morning it was spectacular. We enjoyed the morning canoe ride, swimming. The lake is so clean you can see straight to the bottom. The whole boat house was very clean and organized. Communication was very easy. Everyone was so kind and helpful. If your looking for a wonderful getaway look no further it's a trip that is truly unforgettable!

    This was a wonderful location. We were very pleased with the accommodations and Lorrie was a wonderful host. Everything was as we expected, and Lorrie checked in with us several times to make sure we didn't have any issue. Highly recommended!!

    Wonderful property surrounded by water. Fit and finish of the boathouse were immaculate. Furnishings were well chosen. 2 caveats: there are a lot of steps from the parking; there s no stove/oven

    Construction going on the whole time, wasn’t honest about people being there taking the boat out and poor experience of the owners etc.

    A unique experience. Wonderful views, sunrise, sunset. Lovely accommodation it felt comfortable and like home almost immediately. Be prepared for the 35+ steps, in stages, down to the boathouse.

    The boathouse and Skeleton Lake exceeded all of our expectations. We've stayed on lake Muskoka and lake Rosseau several times before but this neither of them compare to this experience. The home was clean and well appointed, the location is pristine, and we never wanted to come out of that water! Thanks Lorrie and our hosts for a wonderful, personalized, week. It was just what we needed.
