    Absolutely loved every single part of this property. The beach and water toys are excellent! All the little touches the owners put into this property is amazing and I really recommend staying here!

    This property is perfect for large groups. The house is very large with five bedrooms (the listing said four). There are also multiple indoor and outdoor sitting areas so people dont feel on top of each other. The beach and dock are perfect for accessing the water which is sandy and shallow on entry and there are lots of watercraft to take out. The grounds are large and feel private even though there are other cottages nearby. The property is easy to get to from the highway and the little town of Mactier is a short drive with a great grocery store, hardware store and LCBO. We cooked a lot and the kitchen and BBQ were great. The property manager was very responsive and easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend the property.

    Our extended family spent a week here in August. While we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the location to others, there were a few shortcomings which we will also cite. Positives: 1) The house is large, modern, and provided ample space for those indoor days, and allowed each family to have some privacy 2) The beachfront is excellent. Nice and sandy, easy to walk out to the lake and enjoy a swim or play 3) The location offered a great deal of privacy. Not much traffic or noise 4) Enough lawn to have a small game of soccer or football 5) Amazing sunset and sunrise views, either from the dock or 1 of the 3 enclosed gazebos. 6) The owners were incredible to deal with. Very responsive and apologetic when issues arose. Key shortcomings: 1) Water, water, water. While the lake was incredible, we did have 2 issues with house water during our stay. Day 1 the well ran dry, and despite effective recovery plans from the owners, I would not expect this to happen with a premium rental. We were less impressed with the Muskoka Rental company, who took a more laissez-faire attitude. And on our last day, the basement plumbing became clogged. Again, not the end of the world with multiple bathrooms to use, but a nuisance nonetheless. 2) The only other drawback is the lack of proximity to other activities or events (or even restaurants). MacTier is a small town with a Foodland and an LCBO. To do anything of note required a 25-minute + drive. Not a show-stopper, but just an FYI

    Owners were great to deal with. Cottage is perfect for large families. The location of the cottage is a bit noisy with trains/traffic. Otherwise waterfront is accessible and beautiful. Would recommend for large families.

    Had a great time at this beautiful property! It has literally all the bells and whistles anyone could ask for in a vacation home. Water at the dock is very shallow but that was ok for us as we had 2 young grandchildren with us. Would definitely recommend!

    Family vacation for a 60th birthday. Everything we could think of and more was at the cottage. Easy check in and out. Everyone had their own space and was very comfortable.
