Great Experience

The host was very good in communicating, she even came before us to make sure the heat was on and working since the weather outside was -20 C. The place was very clean and very accurate with photos! Im sure its an even better place in summer.

4 days in the Fall

Great location on Three Mike Lake. Newly renovated, very clean 3 bedroom cottage. Great location close to Port Carling and Bracebridge. Would definitely return. The only improvement that could be made is more clothes hooks as there is not a lot of closet space, as the bedrooms are typically small for this type of cottage. Thank you Holly for being a great host and responding quickly whenever I reached out to you.

Lovely Weekend Get-a-way

We spent 3 nights at Sandwood, on a lovely late September weekend. A beautiful cottage on a gorgeous lake (our first time in that part of Muskoka)! The cottage is very well equipped. The fridge is small, but perfect for our 3 night stay. You will want to plan on a grocery trip if you're there more then 3 nights The cottage is perfect for a couple or a small family but would be tight (in our opinion) for 6 adults

clean cottage..

The place was clean very quiet area. We had a few issues when we were there which we reported to Holly she responded and I'm sure she must have fixed them by now. barbecue was difficult to use in the sense that it backfired every time we used it so be careful. And I'm not sure if that dock is the dock that's at the cottage because we couldn't fit 4 chairs across the end.....Nice stay just the same ...across the end littgoing to be more than three people

Family getaway from the city

We were looking for comfy place to escape the city for a few days. We found that here. The cottage is nicely renovated and very comfortable. Lake views were great, kitchen spacious, and bedrooms were comfortable. We travelled with 3 children under 6, our two oldest shared the room with the 2 twin beds. The queen room at the back of the cottage offers just enough space for a pack and play if you need to nap an infant. Travelling with 3 kids, We packed for the worst. Other than some cooking oil and salt and pepper, and coffee filters, nothing else is really offered to guests. This includes water, so plan to bring your own for drinking. Other little conveniences like shampoo/soap in the shower were absent. It may be just a one off but small touches like coffee/tea (grounds or pods) and those above would add to the care free stay we assume people are looking for. The lake was relaxing, but swimming was off limits given the algae bloom. This is mentioned in the listing. That said there are a few local beaches not too far away (20 mins) they offered clean sand and water for us and the kids. Holly, the host, was very helpful in providing suggestions and being attentive and quick to respond to any and all questions. We really appreciated that. Overall this was a great stay as we aren’t that picky. The kids loved the wildlife and environment; again a nice change of pace from the city.

Instagram-able, at best.

I stayed with 3 friends at this property for 3 nights. The property itself was visually appealing, inside was very clean, as can clearly be seen by the photos of the property. The dock seen in the first image was not set up to nicely fit the 4 Adirondack chairs in the photo, the chairs that were on the dock also had many spiderwebs on them, which I didn't think would be our responsibility to take care of. Needless to say, there were issues with our stay that potential clientele need to know about in advance. Not warning potential tenants that THERE IS NO DRINKING WATER ONSITE until 2 days before is a major concern. One of our friends was flying in from out west for this and this meant our hands were tied going into this weekend. The property manager was courteous and helpful in pointing us towards where we could get drinking water. This should be included in the listing so please let your potential clients know in advance. This for their safety and enjoyment after all. The other major problem was one that they have said they are trying to fix, the main air conditioner was broken. They did have a portable air conditioner in there in its place, but with 4 adults and the fact that we're going to use the oven/stove, it still was quite hot. I'd recommend you to check with the property manager on the status of the air conditioning before committing to the booking. Nice property overall. But the communication needs work.

Cozy quiet retreat

Our stay was nice and relaxing. The cottage itself is very cozy , clean and very comfortable. A great location and view of the lake. The exterior deck and dock require some work to make bring it to the same standard as the cottage itself. Overall a great stay.

Lovely little cottage

We had a great stay. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and the A/C was able to keep up with the heat wave that happened during the week. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. The beds (and linens) were comfortable. There is a water pressure issue on some of the taps, but the shower had enough pressure. Fantastic store/strawberry farm not far away where you can buy fresh produce, excellent frozen meat, and other local items. The lake is fairly shallow so the water was warm. Don't dive off the dock! There are some big rocks under the water. I wish the cottage had pool noodles. We ended up buying some but we had to go into Bracebridge to find a place that still had them for sale. It was nice just to float in the lake.

Was delightful and peaceful

To begin Holly was amazing! I’ve never booked with vrbo and she made it so easy for me, I requested an early check in and she got back to me right away, fortunately on this day she was able to accommodate the early check in. The cottage is clean, newly renovated and has a great view of the lake. We enjoyed the dock and fire pit tremendously. This cottage has everything you need for a couple, family or small group of friends. I highly recommend Holly and any of her rentals.

3/5 for a few reasons. 1. The cottage thermostat is controlled via remote control and the place was way too warm, set to 86f (30c). Originally when entering the place it was fine, because outside was super cold. But the issue was that the remote control did not work! The batteries were dead! We had to go look for aa batteries just so we can sleep and not sweat throughout the entire night, and NO we are not leaving the doors or windows open because of potential bears. Same goes for the remote control for the TV. 2. The shower head was BUSTED, the pull tab did not spout any water from it downwards and we had to rely on bucks to "shower" ourselves. You would think they would test those little things ahead of time... Otherwise, the place was clean, and the property is right beside the lake. It has been recently renovated, but you can tell the floors are un-even and patch panel being exposed isn't kind to the eyes. The host was very thorough and communicated well, but it's the pebble in the shoe that ruins the entire place for me.

My experience

Unit was clean and tidy. The main issue was no hot water warm if you were lucky. Something with the plumbing, especially in the shower it was not right you could not have a hot shower. Another issue was no blinds on the windows. This is weird at night since you cannot see out, but everybody can see in.
