    We had an absolutely lovely time staying at Indy’s cottage! Exactly what we needed for a reset weekend. The place is impeccably kept and well-stocked, the views are beautiful, it’s isolated and peaceful, and Indy had excellent communication. :) Would highly recommend and looking forward to our next visit!

    This is a really superb property located right on the lake. The owner has plenty of outdoor space and sitting areas including a fire pit and a gas fire table! We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards and seeing the beautiful fall colours reflected in the lake. A short beautiful drive to Algonquin for a hike with our dog! Perfect!

    The property was perfect for our weekend getaway. It was in a good location close to the grocery store to go out to grab stuff. And we had lots of space to hangout and enjoy the weekend

    We very much enjoyed our stay at Indy's cottage! As a host, Indy was attentive, prompt in her responses, and accommodating to our needs. The online photos do not do the property justice. The cottage itself was clean, cozy yet stylish and well equipped with everything we could possibly need (e.g., cookware, oils, spices, paper products, throw blankets, indoor and outdoor towels, etc.). Our 17 year old daughter and her friend absolutely loved having their own space downstairs as well as the use of the paddle boards! The outdoor space with its multiple gathering spaces and spectacular landscaping are a true oasis! We loved exploring the Lake of Bays using our boat (which was easily launched from a nearby park) and the character filled town of Dorset! Now that we are back home, I long for the hours I spent sitting on a muskoka chair on the dock, listening to the waves lapping, reading a book and sipping a glass of wine... it just doesn't get any better than that! We would return to Indy's cottage in a heartbeat!

    This is a great cottage. It was equipped with everything you need and more. It was clean and well maintained. Lots of seating areas outside whether you want shade or sun. It is within walking distance to town which has restaurants and stores to get whatever you need. I highly recommend this spot. The whole family enjoyed it. The host Indy was great as well. Very quick to respond to any questions I had.

    We had a wonderful time staying at Indy's cottage over Thanksgiving weekend. The fall colours were absolutely stunning. The location is ideal, whether you're looking to explore Algonquin on foot or enjoy a round of golf in Huntsville. The cottage is spacious, well-designed, and offered plenty of outdoor and indoor space. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and Indy kindly accommodated us with early check-in and late check-out. Indy was incredibly responsive, quickly fixing a dishwasher issue when it clogged. There's even a small desk inside if you need to get some work done during your stay. Kayaks got a work out, and those dock chairs were well used too! Beautiful stay!

    I don't usually bother doing reviews. However, this cottage was lovely and exactly as described. Beautiful view of the lake and in a great location between Algonquin park and Huntsville. Host is lovely to communicate with. Hope to return!

    We had an excellent stay as a family with four children ranging from 14 to 8. The cottage was clean and a good usable space inside and outside, communication with the host was spot on. The location was brilliant, we explored a bit but mostly made use of the lake and equipment provided. A thoroughly enjoyable stay and we would not hesitate to book again.

    We stayed as a family of 6 adults with two dogs and the property couldn’t have been better for us! Great waterfront and views (even better than photos). Check in was a breeze and we were generously offered both early check in and late check out which was greatly appreciated. They also provided 3 large water refills, a generous amount of toilet and paper towel tissues, beach and bath towels, laundry detergent etc. All instructions to use devices were clearly explained in print outs and a binder for reference. We will definitely book again!
