SUN BAY COTTAGE - WATERFRONT

It was my sons long weekend vacation with his newlywed wife who were married on august 30 2025. They had a few nurses from their wedding party, and they all thought the place was the nicest cottage they had ever been in. Plus the view by the lake was absolutely stunning. We will be definitely booking it next summer for 10 days. They also spent thanksgiving Monday in Fenlon falls at that beautiful park near the lift locks ! Thank you Larisa their host

Beautiful location. Quiet for the Labor Day weekend - surprised and delighted by this! Loved getting into the water at the sandy shore (it was a bit cold so no swimming really). The kids ran in and out of the lake. We loved paddling the kids in the peddle boat. We saw toads, turtles, crawfish and a heron all around the cottage area. We also loved using the easy-to-use kayaks. We enjoyed the 'extras' left for us by our generous hosts. Larisa and David showed us around and their tips were very helpful. Because of a pump, the immediate area near the sandy shore was free of seaweed and reeds. The beds were comfortable and pretty much everything we needed was provided including a crib. (We didn't see a high chair.) There were lots of games for our grandkids aged 7 months - 6 years to play including a playset (slide, swings, mini house). One of our grandkids got a nasty sliver in his finger from the side deck so be careful on the wooden structures. We enjoyed making smores on the fire pit (ban was lifted just before our stay!). Overall, we just loved staying here. The views were great and it felt pretty private since so many cottages didn't seem occupied this weekend. I have nothing negative to say about our stay here. It is highly recommended. Thanks so much Larisa and David!

Great for a family. Neat and clean.

This cottage was spotless! It accommodated our family of nine very comfortably. The kitchen was so well stocked we didn’t use any of our own utensils or fry pans! The sandy beach area was ideal for our 4 grandchildren and the swimming area was nice and weed free. This one is a repeat visit!

Amazing stay at a beautiful cottage. The beach is perfect for kids. The kids loved playing in the sand and the water is clean and clear. It's in a prefect location to take a day trip into town.

We have been to this cottage several times and it’s always been excellent. Lara and David pay close attention to details and take care to make sure everything is just right.

We loved our time at the Sun Bay Cottage. We really appreciated having all the amenities of home. It was great that all the cupboards in the kitchen were labelled. The beach area was perfect for our little granddaughter to play in the sand and the water. The tented eating area outside was great for shade and the perfect place to play games at night. It was wonderful that the tent could be zipped up. The beds were very comfortable. The dock area was great for tying up our boat. We loved being able to boat to the local towns. Thanks for the great stay!

Great Water front Cottage for a large group Lots to do , close to town if you needed anything All around awesome week

Great experience

Lara and her husband, along with their stunning property, are true gems that are difficult to come by in this business. From even pre-check-in to post-check-out, they were consistent and extremely helpful in their communication and accommodation. From the cleanliness of the property to the attention to detail and tour / welcoming nature of the hosts, it was honestly everything our group could have asked for and more. What impressed me especially was the care and thought they put into improving the experience every time - notably, their continuing efforts to remove the weeds from the bay/dock as per previous comments to have a clean and well-kept swimming area. Everything was explained fully from the beginning and anything that needed to be fixed was addressed right away. You don't think it can get any better, but it does: after we left, one of us realized he had forgotten his hoodie on the property, and Lara took thoughtful measures to bring it back into the city for us and arrange a seamless pick-up. This really just speaks to their character as people and not just hosts. Thanks again and we would love to come back someday! :)

We had a great time at this wonderful cottage! Everything was perfect and Larisa was helpful and responsive.

We had another amazing week at the Sun Bay Cottage! The location is perfect and the kids played on the beach and in the water all day. The host is amazing and so easy to contact if you need anything, but since they have thought of everything you never need to contact them.

From the first communication to arrival any questions or queries were answered promptly. When we opened the door there was a view of the waterfront from the bay to right across the lake through a huge picture window. Fishing, swimming, and many hours of playing in the sand for a 3 and 6 year old. Large grassy front yard offered space for playing with many areas to sit and relax Coffee on the dock was beautiful and so peaceful Living space was spacious for 8 adults and 2 children and two bathrooms worked out just fine. Our hosts were kind, gracious and very accommodating. We would have no problem returning to such a lovely spot. Thank you Lara for all you did to make our family vacation a success!

The house and grounds were exactly as listed. Very well appointed, comfortable and roomy. We enjoyed being able to sit down together as a large group in the dining area. The deck and the yard leading down to the lake were spacious. The swimming was poor in spite of efforts to clear the weeds near the tiny beach and dock. It is the entire reason for a less than 5 rating. This is not the place for those that like to swim..

This is an excellent property. We had a great time. I would highly recommend it.

The cottage was much larger than the photos depicted. Great spot and house was well equipped. Would definitely return.

We had a great time staying at Sun Bay Cottage! The whole family enjoyed the lakefront property and all the amenities it came with. We all enjoyed taking the kayaks on the water and making fires each night. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials which made the meal preparations so easy. Thank you Larisa! We had a great time and hope to be back next year!
