My wife and my two daughters enjoyed the time we stayed. Property as described . My suggestion please keep more water sports. Only one canue, no kayak or or any other water sports are there which I feel not sufficient for a family. fireplace inside the house worked properly and also outside fire pit works with firewood’s. Thanks to Michael to keep all essentials items inside kitchen which also very helpful if things goes run out. Very good experience.

Quaint cabin on beautiful lake
Spent a week with family. Cabin is located on South Bay. Water in August was warm, the bay is quite shallow (3 - 4 ft). Quiet location was good for sitting on the dock or around camp fire. Yard space was nice for the kids to play. BBQ and kitchen were a bit basic for family meal prep. Bathroom/shower was small but manageable for our family of 4!

Wonderful
Me and my friends visited the cottage and we had a wonderful time. It was clean and very organized. Everything that was listed in the cottage and we were able to enjoy ourselves with no issues. The Main thing one of my friends really liked was the fire pit since we where able to just relax by it and chat and we had no issues. Wonderful time.
Location is ideal. Beautiful views of the gorgeous lake. Lots of fun to be had in and around the water. Close to Fenelon Falls - a great little town.

We stay at a different cottage every year for a week in the summer and this cottage was the cleanest we have ever rented - it was perfect and very well take care of! The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The lake was awesome, perfect for swimming and amazing for paddle boarding. The kids didn’t want to leave. It was so quiet on the lake! We had an amazing time! Thanks for an awesome stay Michael and Anna!

I have to say the cottage was perfect for us. So clean and organized (my wife was very pleased). Beautiful deck! Loved all the extras on hand like the games, books, music etc. Canoe was a bonus! Fishing off your dock was fun for the kids. They caught so many little perch and sunfish. Next time we'll go deeper to catch bigger fish. Thanks again for everything! If you'll have us, we'd love to come back again and be return-renters! Until then, all the best.

We had a great time relaxing at this perfectly sized cabin in the kawartha’s. The property is exactly as described in the listing and Michael is a fantastic host. The evenings were calm and quiet, while the nearby towns of fenelon falls and Lindsay were great to visit during the day. We would definitely like to return again!

Incredible little cottage, such a great getaway spot for your local vacation. 2 hours away from Downtown Toronto, we had a chance to enjoy beautiful sunsets, watch shooting starts from our private dock, and canoe on Balsam lake! Great cottage where we were able to find everything we needed! Michael and Anna were very helpful with their advice about local nature spots! Looking forward to getting back to this spot again!

Our experience renting the Balsam Lake cottage was very memorable-the view from the 2 tiered deck was breath taking & hearing the loons was a daily routine for us, ending each day with a campfire watching the shooting stars. The grand kids loved fishing off the dock & jumping in the warm crystal clear water. As for the inside the kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking needs. Lots of memories made during our time at this cottage.

Right on the water with good access! Michael lent us a couple of fishing rods for the boys - came in handy on those early morning canoe trips. The cottage and grounds were well maintained. Anna and Michael were helpful hosts - always just a phone call away. We enjoyed our stay.
Kurt and Kas | August 2020
We had a very enjoyable stay at this cottage on beautiful Balsam Lake. Michael and Anna were thoughtful hosts, even leaving a bottle of champagne and chocolates for our arrival. The cottage was immaculately clean and well stocked with all the kitchen essentials as well as books and games. The two tier deck overlooking the lake was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sites and sounds of nature. Our kids enjoyed splashing around in the clean and shallow lake shore and fishing off the dock. Thank you so much for a wonderful week.
