Luxurious All-season Simcoe Lakefront Cottage

This is a wonderful place to stay with a family. The host thought of everything as far as things to do at the house. Nice kitchen, nice sunroom!, nice floor plan and lakeside living at its best!!!

Very nice cottage and property with lots of potential, but property maintenance seems to be lacking compared to older reviews I've read.Upon arrival parking in driveway, there was a bunch of loose garbage, as well as compost scattered around on the ground around the green bin. The gardens were all overgrown and full of weeds.The hot tub stopped working many times. The dishwasher leaked. The fireplace in the cottage wouldn't ignite. The outdoor canopy beds were really dirty. The dryer sounds like it is about fall apart. The internet wouldn't work and kept dropping out after a minute.Looked under the couch for a kids toy that fell and it was very dirty underneath.I expected a little more attention to detailat this pricepoint.A higher level of maintenance on these easy items would be well worth it for the owner. We all had a good stay, but it would have been better with the issues above sorted out.

Wonderful property on the water and close to the city for any items we forgot. Barry is very quick to respond to any communication. This was our third year at the property and we thoroughly enjoyed our time (as usual)

We had a great time at Barry's cottage! Our group consisted of five adults, two 6/7 year olds, and two toddlers. Everyone had a great time. The kids enjoyed the sunroom with all of the toys, which was very convenient when the adults were cooking or socializing in the kitchen. The yard was very spacious and clean. The kids and dog were all able to run around freely. We needed to wash down the chairs around the firepit, as they were quite dirty. Two of the adults attempted to use the peddle boat, but the steering didn't work, and water was coming in from one of the peddles. The hot tub was a hit with the two older kids, although we had to wipe down the inner sides, which was covered in some sort of goop. The cottage itself was very clean inside, and was packed with everything you could possibly need. All in all it was a great trip, and we would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a nice quiet getaway.

We were nine adults and no kids/pets and we enjoyed the house thoroughly

Great home, great location. Very well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture and beds. Barry was a great host. very quick to respond and very friendly.

My dog and I just returned from Barry’s property and we had a great stay! Barry was a wonderful host; he was readily available whenever I had any questions. Whether you’re on your own or with others, in terms of amenities, I think this cottage has everything needed to make one’s stay both comfortable and enjoyable. I don’t know that the owner has overlooked much to ensure that you have whatever you might want or need. Although my stay took place during the winter, I still enjoyed the beautiful views of Lake Simcoe, the property, and the surrounding area, which is lovely. It certainly wasn’t hard for me to envision how great the property must be to stay at during the summer months! Thank you very much again, Barry!

Loved the peace and quiet of mid September. House had everything including extras of most necessities. Host quickly responded to questions.

My family and I had a great time at this cottage. Right on the water, fully equipped kitchen, close to city for shopping, and an incredibly responsive host. Our second year here and we will be back!

We are already missing our cottage on the lake and we just arrived home yesterday! Great cottage, amazing lake-front property and everything you could possibly want is provided. The host was exceptional in responding and ensuring that we had what was needed. My family consists of five adults and five children (aged 2 to 10). We played, swam, canoed, kayaked, ate, drank, coloured, crafted and enjoyed every minute we had together. We would highly recommend this property to other large families/groups wanting great time together. We hope to plan a return visit very soon. Marlene
