Our cottage on Gunter Lake beckons you to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. The lake has bass, perch and sunfish, the largest bass we have seen caught was over 4lbs! The public beach is within 200 feet of the cottage with a small sandy area for sitting and with a gentle slope going into the lake, perfect for everyone. There is also a boat ramp available beside the beach, free to use if you prefer to bring your own boat. Ten miles east is Weslemkoon Lake which has over 120 miles of shoreline and excellent opportunities for serious fishing and exploring.
There is a variety store within 10 minutes drive that has fuel, LCBO, Beer, groceries, baked goods and some hardware. Two chip trucks and 1 restaurant are also within 10 minutes and are great to use if you want a treat or something different.
Bancroft, which is only 30 minutes away, is known as 'The Mineral Capital of Canada' and is a world renowned destination for rock-hounds and mineral lovers in general. Bancroft has great 24 hr. grocery shopping, antique shops, farmer's markets, Tim Horton's, chip trucks, an LCBO and Beer Store, and a friendly little hospital in case of any emergencies. . The hosts own the personal cottage next door at the top of the hill and park their pontoon boat on the far side of the boathouse on a private dock. Door access codes will be given the week before your start date. PS. Remember to bring your bedding and towels !!
The cottage was very accomodating, clean and comfortable. My group and I had a wonderful time, thanks to Wayne, Brenda and Larry. The lake access was great and the beach house/dock held many toys for the days spent in the water. Thank you to Wayne, Brenda and Larry for a fabulous getaway! We hope to return next year :)
We came to this cottage for a family vacation with our son, daughter, their spouses and our four grandchildren. Our grandchildren are between the ages of eight and three. This cottage is great for children. It has a dock with a huge slide, a row boat, canoe, and paddle boat as well as a small sand beach close by. The boathouse contains all the things you need for being in the water with children, with plenty of life jackets (for all ages), swim noodles, sand toys and water guns. The cottage itself has dishes, games and toys for small children as well. The beds are all very comfy. There are lots of pots, pans, crock pot, coffee pot, kettle and bakeware so you can cook or bake anything you can think of. We had a great time around the firepit many evenings with the dry wood that was also supplied. The hosts were very friendly and responded quickly to any of our questions. This is an older cottage so no air conditioning, but with the many fans it was comfortable. It was a wonderful holiday with our family. I would certainly come back again.
We had such a wonderful time. Everything was perfect. We had a big group of all ages and we all had so much fun swimming, boating and hanging out in the boathouse. The views are spectacular, the place is clean and the owners were lovely. We will definitely rent here again.
We loved the variety of options, relaxing in the house, the boat house, the beach etc. The hosts were kind enough to offer us a sunset cruise in their pantoon boat, so that added to the charm of this peaceful setting. Would definitely consider this as a future possibility.
My four grandsons, aged 6, 6, 8, and 9, loved this place. They heavily used the tiny beach straight across the road. The boathouse is well stocked with all kinds of water toys, and there are about 15 life jackets (pfds) in all sizes. There is a large box of lego which was in constant use. The boys ignored the collection of indoor games and videos. Two of the upstairs bedrooms also have a twin bed besides the queen, which was very useful. When the barbecue stopped working, Wayne put in a new propane tank. This is a good vacation place for families with kids. The description has NOTE !! Must supply own linens for beds and bath towels. Linens are sheets and pillowcases. We arrived without blankets. Later in the description is bedding, but it would be helpful to either not use linens or to list everything needed for a bed like, sheets, pillowcases, and blankets or comforters. The mattresses have mattress pads. One of our group had a Chatr sim card. It turns out that Gunter Lake is not covered. But our other cells had good service.
We enjoyed great family time at this location. Everyone had a wonderful time. The lake was beautiful and the cottage was very clean. Furniture and beds were very comfortable. The beach area could use more beach area for young children. Otherwise a great place.
Very clean, lots of space. Hosts were very nice and laid back. Little yard was fenced and perfect to keep our dog safe from the road. Much bigger than it looks especially second floor with lots of rooms. My kids loved playing the games. Highly recommended.
This is a great little spot for family get away.
The lake is quiet with little boat traffic so is great for a scenic canoe ride or paddleboard ride. The floating raft with slide was great for the kids and got a lot of use. The lake bottom is a little mushy, but is better at the beach a stone's throw away, or you can swim over. Fishing was great for the kids right off the dock and off the float raft. Nothing huge, but lots of catches for the little ones. The cottage was well maintained, and spaceous and the owners were super ... Responsive and providing a lot of information and assistance. Great spot and great owners. Would definitely recommend
The cottage is cute and simple. It is much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. It does get hot but they provided 2 fans and we had brought a third. The location is fantastic. The lake is shallow so the water is quite warm. The sunsets are beautiful. The kids fished right off the dock and caught several little fish! Wayne is a thoughtful host who made our stay even more memorable by doing several extras for us. So close to a small but great little beach. Our children aged almost 3 to almost 9yrs old had a blast, as did the adults. Very relaxing. Lots to do inside if there’s a rainy day. Thank you for the memories.
