We have stayed here before, and both times have thoroughly enjoyed our time. Cottage is great, sunsets are spectacular, and owner is very nice.

Cottage Bliss

Mixed reviews for this rental must surely cause confusion for future renters. Here are some facts from our one week stay in Aug 2019.The location, the front and back yards, the dock and the lake views are excellent .. deserving a 4-5 star review if taken alone. Also, the beds were comfortable; towels and linens were adequate and clean; the dining room table and living room furniture were adequate for a cottage.The cottage advertising is misleading. The cottage from a distance looks nice and the inside views are selective. The views do not show the age and condition of this cottage; the warped floors, the peeling paint, the dirty stained bedroom carpets, and the years of accumulated dirt around the stove and in all window ledges. The previous 1 star review is accurate in that respect.Something we have not experienced previously, in many VRBO rentals in several countries, is the seeming lack of interest in providing a welcoming experience for renters. Examples: the kitchen faucet being detached from the sink was reported by a guest more than a year ago and it is still the same; the oven was so dirty that our decision on arrival was to spend our first vacation day cleaning it, or to decide not to use it for the week. We did not use it. The dirt in all the windows was pointed out by an earlier review, but nothing was done for us. There was no propane left for us and we had to call; the Wifi instructions were out of date and we had to call; the loose toilet seat, reported earlier, was still loose. We tolerated this rental and had quite an enjoyable week outside. We tolerated it since we had flown across the country and promised our 6 yr old grandson a holiday by the lake. For future renters, we recommend that you visit this property first (or ask a local friend), go inside and then decide what you will be able to tolerate. Despite the beautiful surroundings, we wouldn't stay here again with the cottage in this condition.

disappointing

Stayed only for 2 nights, enjoyed our time

Enjoyed our time

We spent 1 week last summer here and enjoyed it so much, we came back for 2 weeks this year. We were just as pleased this time around! Andrea is great to deal with. The property is large, private and has a private waterfront with a dock that we made full use of. The backyard is very big. We played bocce and ladderball and had the kiddie pool inflated and there was still space for loungers. The house was comfortable for 6 adults, a toddler and a dog. The place was very clean. The bathrooms and kitchen felt and looked freshly scrubbed. The linens were fresh. Last year I brought my own just in case, but didn’t need them. The kitchen is well equipped. All of the appliances worked well, as did the BBQ. We cooked everything from fish and sausages to burgers to Thai and we even baked a Baklava. We loved the water. It was shallow a good ways out, so we felt comfortable with a toddler and a dog. Our dog paddled around happily with us. We all have happy memories. We were sad to leave.Too early to plan for next year. Definitely on my list!

We loved our 2 weeks in July at this property!

Its almost criminal that someone would put their property up for holiday rent at these prices and offer such terrible accommodation......where to begin.....the outside was dirty, nowhere to sit and enjoy comfortably (they did not bother to cut the grass) Every doorway was full of cobwebs and bugs. The barbecue was dirty. The bedrooms were cringingly dirty and musty. Stains open the bedding and carpets!!!Odd old electronic things and decor around the place from the 1960's. Broken crockery in the cupboards. Dirty pans in the cupboards. The toilet was sinking into the floor!!!!The shower was scary dingy!The couch was broken. This property should be taken off for rent!

Dont stay here!

We had a fun week! We were a group of 6 adults, a baby and a dog and our week here left us with very fond memories. The property itself is a good size, well maintained and private. We played bocce, badminton, and kicked around a ball in the backyard. And there was still plenty of space for 2 kiddie pools, the picnic table, and tanning on the lounge chairs. The cottage was very clean. And the space is great for different age groups, in that the common areas are away from the bedrooms. The night owls didn’t have to worry about waking up the baby or old folks. And it is very well equipped. We cooked, microwaved, bbq’d, roasted marshmallows in the firepit and baked a cake. The linens and towels were ample and the shed was full of toys. The dock was great! We rented non motorized watercraft and spent a lot of our time in and on the warm lake water. Our dog loved his daily swims too. The beach is pebbly and we made the mistake of not bringing water shoes. It didn’t stop us from having a good time, but next time, we’ll make sure to pack them.The view from the cottage is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed our evenings sitting around the fire pit, roasting marshmallows and watching the sunset. I can’t say enough about it!Andrea was great to deal with. She was professional and thorough and replied promptly to my questions.We all give it a double thumbs up!EM

The property is private&well maintained. The cottage space is well configured.The view is stunning!

Wonderful property..so private..the dogs loved it...the owner warned us to take the boat out every night because their water gets rough and we did not listen and we got our motor smucked up on the dock but that was completely our own fault the rest of the stay was lovely nice rustic Cottage

Great

Location was great but there were a number of repairs on the house that have been neglected. The shower constantly backed up, the sink faucet was ready to fall off and some other minor things. I would stay there again but would hope these and other items are repaired in the near future.

Great location house needs work

We loved the house's proximity to the lake and were fortunate to have good weather and take advantage of the barbecue, firepot and to sit outside and watch the sun set. Our stay here was short, but the property had all the amenities described, and all of our party claimed they slept exceptionally well thanks to the fresh air.

Quiet, relaxing stay

Very comfortable beds, clean, nice neighborhood,Internet works great. , right on the lake. Would recommend this home for your vacation.

Great place to stay

our fishing group uses this cottage every year an for ice fishing weekend. It does a great job covering our needs. It's always clean and warm, and close to ice fishing outfitters.

Can't beat the cost in the Winter

The cottage is very clean, has all the amenities you will need, beds are comfortable, and all linens supplied. Great place to enjoy the view of the lake, and relax outdoors.

Great Place To Relax

We had a great weekend at the cottage. Very peaceful. We sat on the dock until the sun set then moved to the backyard and sat around a campfire while BBQing dinner The cottage was equipped with everything you need and more.

The cottage is very spacious! We had more then enough room for 6 adults.

My family and I enjoyed our second year at this lovely cottage. Felt right at home and the view is stunning!

Wonderful homey cottage

We found everything about this cottage property to be more than satisfactory. Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable. The cottage itself was close enough to Lake Simcoe to hear the waves when the water was rough.....my favorite aspect of this lake. We hope to return next summer.

The cottage was attractive, nicely furnished, roomy and spacious. The grounds were well maintained.

We had a good week, liked that the cottage is close to the grocery store, park and splash pad. Kitchen had all the appliances and laundry facilities. Overall a very good experience!

Very nice cottage-roomy and bright.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The weather was perfect and the view was beautiful. We spent most of our time outside and in the water. The front and back yards are good sizes to play any games, or just laze around with both shady and sunny areas to accommodate everyone. The cottage itself is very spacious. We really enjoyed the large kitchen table and loved that the bedrooms are tucked away at the one end of the cottage, so little kiddies can go to sleep without being bothered by anyone playing games or up late chatting.The only slight downfall is the access to the dock. The stairs are steep and a bit uneven, but once on the dock entrance into the water is perfect. Water shoes are a huge asset as even though they are smooth rocks (for the most part), there were more rocks, with a few patches of sandy areas, than we thought there would be. Outside of dodging the rocks in the lake and being extra careful on the stairs to the water this is a great place to stay. A great family vacation spot to enjoy with family, kids and friends.Andrea was a pleasure to deal with. Her response time was instant. She was a great help and answered all our questions both before during and after our stay at the cottage.

Beautiful Place to Stay

I live in the states and I rented this property so my family and my sister's family (from Toronto) could congregate in one spot. It was a great fit for our group. It has a nice big kitchen table that we could all share a meal around. It was nice to have the two toilets. Apparently we did run out of hot water but my shower was warm! It was very windy and unseasonably cool the weekend we were there so we couldn't spend much time on the dock (mostly to watch the sunsets) or in the water. However, the front yard is very large and blocked from the wind so we spent much of our time there. I did not find any of the outdoor games that are mentioned in the property description so it was a good thing we brought our own bocce ball set. There was not a hatchet for cutting firewood so we had to pick that up in town. I was surprised that the owner asked if they could mow both the front and back yard while we were there. I'm guessing the rain prior to our stay kept them from doing this before we arrived. Nonetheless, I thought that was strange and unnecessary. We very much enjoyed our trips into town. We got pizza to go at Crusty Pizza which was very good and we brought our own ball so we were able to play volleyball at the park right in town. I hope this review will be helpful to others that choose this property!

Our June 2017 stay

The owners are very accommodating. It was a relaxing tranquil atmosphere to rejuvenate in! We are repeat guests here!

Very charming older home. Lots of uniqueness. Very comfortable.

The cottage is a nice comfortable place to stay right on Lake Simcoe. The beds were wonderful to return to after a fun filled day. TV and Internet worked fine and nice to have. Great hot water and heating system. Would like to return again.

Great location, cute cottage on lake Simcoe

My friends and family had a great weekend stay here, everything we expected and more, we stayed for 3 nights while we went fishing at Tim hales fish huts. We will be renting again , thanks again Andrea! We had a blast!

Great weekend on the lake!

I wish I could add the pictures I took while I was staying at Andrea's cottage. This cottage had everything you needed and more, very clean, lots of equipment to use for kitchen and tv, big back yard with fireplace and seats. We brought up a badminton net and loved playing.Only issues was how low the water was (not controllable) and we were 8 people but we're only left with 1 extra roll of toilet paper. Otherwise was a great weekend, lots of fun and supplies for use, great location and we will be coming back next year!

Pictures don't do the place justice

We had a wonderful two weeks at this cottage! Initially 7 of us (5 adults; 2 children), 2nd week 3 adults/2kids. Easy drive from North York - takes about 1.5 hours. Magnificent views of Lake Simcoe, absolutely awesome sunsets - we never tired of them! Lots of room for sleeping (excellent mattresses & we all slept well), large dining table so we could all eat together, lots of lounging around" room. Cottage very well equipped: linens

Great L. Simcoe views, large comfortable cottage

What a charming home; bright, roomy and clean. My husband is handicapped and this home was wonderful to maneuver his wheelchair! He can see the water right from any of the large windows in the back of the house. My 4-legged boys enjoyed running around the spacious yard while we sipped coffee in the am sun. It was such a GREAT accommodation for the owners to offer the linens because it saved so much room in the car!!! All around RELAXING stay making wonderful family memories! Definitely coming back again! Thanks Andrea, you are the best hostess!

Great lakefront getaway!

We enjoyed our stay in Beaverton. The cottage was clean, pleasant, warm, with a nice fireplace and great views of the Lake. It was pleasant to wake up to. It's in a quiet area with friendly neighbours who will stop and say hello to strangers. Andrea was pleasant to deal with. Most things you might need can be found in stores in Beaverton. There were a few things that prevent us from giving it 5 stars:- there was no gas in the BBQ (both tanks were empty)- garbage bins by the road were full the day we arrived.- the freezer seems to lack a tight seal which means there is a lot of ice build up inside.- the wood logs were large and unfortunately no axe was available to break them up. Luckily one of us came with an axe.- the driveway was not shovelled and there was some ice build up. I actually slipped on some ice and fell on my butt, but luckily my wrist only hurt for a few minutes and I had no serious damage.Thank you, Andrea!

Clean cottage with large windows and a great view of Lake Simcoe

Mark and I would like to thank you Andrea for allowing us to stay in your awesome lake home. You couldn't ask for any better lake view! We enjoyed renting a boat and going out fishing! We caught plenty fish to fry up! The house has everything we needed and was nice and clean. Mark is wanting to come back and go ice fishing! I would recommend your place to anyone looking for a nice place to stay. Take care and hope to see you again sometime!Mark & Patty

Awesome Vacation

Dear Andrea,I wanted to take the time to thank you for allowing us to stay at your wonderful cottage.We had a fabulous time. Everything was nice and organized when we walked in. The view and the water was absolutely breathtaking. We didn’t want to leave. Thanks again. For anyone who is looking for a perfect cottage to stay – contact Andrea!

One of best Vacations place

We had a lovely time at the cottage. Andrea is lovely - very helpful and accessible. Our kids and dogs loved the water and the beds were super comfortable. clean and nice sheets. n town there is a beach and playground and splash pad, but thats pretty much it. Ice cream is fun too. I wish there was sand on the water, it's all rocks, but shallow and warm. Great week away!

Great vacation

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time. The cottage was very clean and welcoming as we arrived and its location was perfect. Privacy was easy to maintain but when we needed to, getting to town was simple and convenient. When the weather didn't cooperate there were things to do on land but most days were spent enjoying the clear lake. We are already looking forward to next year's trip.

Wonderful time!!

the neighbours were close, but you had complete privacy. We loved the fire pit (even though we weren't sure if there was one)Andrea was great with all requests and very flexible. Thanks!

Exactly what we expected and more.

Nice cottage, only thing I would change is have the wifi password and name written down on actual router

Lake cottage

We loved our stay at this lovely cottage on Lake Simcoe. It's a charming cottage, with huge windows looking onto the frozen lake. We were toasty warm inside, and the log fire made it extra cosy. Everything was immaculately clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to cook some great meals, and the dining table would fit a big party. Beaverton is a lovely little town, we had everything we needed and went for some great walks in the area. Snowshoeing on the frozen lake was a lot of fun.Andrea was great to deal with, always quick to reply to our questions. It's a perfect retreat and quick drive up from Toronto for a weekend. Highly recommended.
