Balsam Retreat- Muskoka Getaway Pet Friendly

Beautiful place for a nice relaxing getaway! Would love to stay again!

Stunning Everything you could need or want !

Great room for 13 to sleep. Very comfy beds and space in the house to lounge and relax. The hot tub did take quite a while to heat up; but it was a bonus. Very clean.The hosts were very responsive and responded to our questions quite quickly.On the negative end... there was only one tea towel in the kitchen as the cleaner forgot to replenish them. The listing stated and the host confirmed that keurig coffee pods were supplied with the house before we went there. So we didn't buy any more. But with 13 people staying in the house there wasn't enough for even having 1 each on the first of our 2 day stay. Also, the barbeque grill was disgustingly dirty and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for some time. We had to clean it before we could use it. Finally, be forewarned if you, as guests, are looking for live tv (particularly sports) you will need to buy a sportsnet app on specifically an I-phone to be able to mirror it to the tv. Android phones do not work with the set up in the house. We learned that the hard way; which was frustrating.Our suggestions: have printed instructions for tv use if clients want to activate live programming.The house definitely needs more towel racks in the bathrooms (particularly with a large group in the house). Plus hooks to hang coats etc.Our overall thoughts are that we enjoyed the comforts it provided and we are grateful that it was much more reasonably priced compared to others that would house 13 people in the area.

Spacious property, comfortable beds and furniture, wonderful location and the hot tub was amazing!

The cottage was perfect and so cozy, we were a group of 10 and had the best time hanging out, playing games and making s'mores by the firepit and the enjoying the hot tub.Jenn & Brett are amazing hosts, they had sent us the details for check in and were communication with us t during the weekend. I would highly recommend staying at this cottage for your summer getaways!The beds were incredibly comfortable, the hosts had plenty of amenities available for our stay.

Everything is supplied. Nicely decorated. Very responsive. Only thing was the dog made it difficult to get down the stairs.

My family stayed here for 2 nights. We had everything that we needed and we all enjoyed the hot tub.Our grand kids loved the fuse ball table and we had fun playing some of the board games. The home is very modern, light and airy and spotlessly clean. Location is great, halfway between Huntsville and Bracebridge.

Beautiful home and very cozy. This is the second time we rented a place up here and this home was great.

Had a great stay for the fall colors. The cottage had all the things we needed and extra things for the fun. Will definitely come back!

The Property was amazing and a hidden surprise was the trampoline which the young children loved. But the best part of this vacation was the communications with the Host Jenn. She took care of us immensely. Would certainly go back there and would wholeheartedly recommend it for a family get together. Plenty of room...

Loved the space for the multiple families who stayed together. It's a beautiful relaxing space that has been well thought out. Lots of options inside and outside to socialize, and play together. Amazing to be surrounded by nature. Hosts were prompt on their responses to questions and ensure that their guests are well looked after.

The place was prestine clean when we arrived! Super easy checking in, hot tub was working properly, the place is great for relaxing and hanging with family and friends; would live to go back in the near future. Overll, it was a great stay!

Property is nice and well maintained House is quaint, comfortable and well organized with great attention to detail Jenn is so nice and easy to communicate with Thank you Jenn & Bret!!!!

Very clean, lots of space and great amenities
