John was a lovely host. Very friendly. If you need anything you just let him know, he is very accomodative. The spot is absolutely lovely. Cozy boathouse living space and access to all the 3 levels of sight over the lake is wonderful. We didn't end up having a fire although there is a metal firepit if you want to use it. Boathouse does not have potable water just water from the lake for washing hands and dishes and toilet use. However John provides as many cases of water as you need for drinking which is extremely helpful. Overall it was a lovely stay. We had some stormy weather for about 1.5 days but made the best of it. There are games he provides in the boathouse and we played a couple on the stormiest day. Went swimming and kayaking when the weather got nicer. Went into town to the pier as well. Very nice spot and lovely area. Pet friendly, if you bring your dog it's a great area to go for a dogwalk. There is a park just up the road that is perfect to bring the dog as well. Overall very pleased and would stay again. Such a lovely little spot and John is a lovely host.

The boathouse was awesome! The view of Lake Simcoe is unbeatable and the sunset was amazing. The water was warm but bring water shoes if you wish to swim near the dock. The host provides lots of water toys to make the lake enjoyable. We will look to return here next season for sure! Thank you John for a great getaway.

What a fantastic location for a couples get away! Everything you would need for a comfortable and relaxing get away. King size bed was very comfortable. Kitchenette had everything we needed. BBQ area was awsome, and we can't say enough about the views,! Amazing sunsets and wide open view of the lake. Sat there for hours! We will definately be back!

Perfect!

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at John’s cottage for 2 nights, and we really enjoyed it. Water was beautiful, and everything we needed was supplied to us, including water toys, firewood, kitchen supplies, etc. Would definitely like to come back here in the future!
