Go Home Lake next to the Marina

Posted Aug. 14, 2023 on HomeAway
Initially the refrigerator was not active. Fortunately our sons were able to identify the problem which they solved with a trip into town to buy an extension cord. Otherwise hundreds of dollars of food would have wasted. I immediately notified the contact person Ana, who did not reply. Otherwise the house and contents were good. My reason for not returning would be, for the price we paid, we had to accept the constant noise of the busy boat traffic in front of the dock.

Fantastic cottage in quiet, beautiful location

Posted Jul. 29, 2023 on HomeAway
Loved our stay here. Stayed 7 days with 7 people of 3 generations, plus one large dog. All of us had a ball. PROS: Clean Quiet 6 bedrooms Air conditioning worked really well Great dock and fire pit Great dock chairs Lots of toys available for my 6yo CONS Inside staircase is not big enough for adults, so adults can only go up or down by going outside Coin laundry seemed nickel-and-diming given the rental cost Neighbour barked at us about private property when kids went a few feet toward her side... In the water... Wonderful cottage week!

Not what we were expecting

Posted Sep. 7, 2022 on HomeAway
Pictures are very old and things in the pictures were not there when we got there. The stairs are awful and we had 4/8 people fall on them. Dish washer and bbq were both broken, beds are very old and uncomfortable! We ended up leaving early and when we contracted them about our concerns we got no reply.

Go Home Lake cottage

Posted Aug. 21, 2022 on HomeAway
Great property for young kids. Sandy beach, clear calm lake with shallow area for swimming. Only negatives we already new about. 1. The circular staircase, not useable. We blocked off and used outdoor stairs. 2. The coin operated washer dryer, too small and barely work.

Beautiful Property

Posted Aug. 17, 2022 on HomeAway
The property and lake were beautiful. The lot was private and large enough that there were many areas to sit and enjoy the view. The house was clean and had all amenities we needed as a group of 11. The windows do not open and the air conditioner was not working in one of the rooms which resulted in a room that was unbearable to sleep in. Our other issue was upon arrival the dishwasher did not work. The photos are outdated and there is no longer a gazebo on the property. Overall we enjoyed our stay

A great week

Posted Aug. 2, 2022 on HomeAway
Overall the cottage was very good. A great location (2 hours from Toronto). The cottage was mostly clean (under the beds and couches could have been better), well looked after and the dock is awesome. The lake is beautiful with the water clean and refreshing. Everything and then some was included, even things like shampoo and a hair dryer, which we didn't expect. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet and comfortable stay. It was also reasonably accessible - most of the paths were paved with patio slabs, which made it easier for my walker-bound father to get around the grounds. It wasn't perfect though - some minor annoyances like: - range hood and plug to the right of stove not working, in spite of there being no tripped breaker that we could find. - a set of steak knives, a whisk and a nutcracker would be good additions to the already extensive set of kitchen utensils - pocket door of upstairs bathroom was a pain to open after being closed. - an umbrella for the upstairs deck patio set would have been good on the sunny days. - the outdoor furniture cushions could use a good cleaning, with bird droppings and mildew present. - we didn't find any dish cloths and dish towels. Good thing we brought some of our own - even though that wasn't on the list of things to bring. - a recommendation or chart of how many Loonies to use to complete a load of laundry, depending on the washing or drying cycle being used. - more toilet paper would have been good. We almost ran out, and we likely would have had we been a bigger group. This looks like a lot, but these were minor annoyances that really didn't take away from our overall experience there. We really enjoyed our week there and wouldn't hesitate to book it again in the future.

Very easy to find and a straight drive from Toronto.

Posted Jul. 24, 2022 on HomeAway
Our stay was very pleasant. The area was quiet which made it relaxing. On a bad note, the outlet by the stove where the coffee maker, the toaster and the kettle were, was not working which made it inconvenient in the morning moving the appliances to the outlet next to the sink in order to use them. The bug zapper out in the deck, fell off on the floor almost hitting my granddaughter, it was hanging from a long nail but only the tip of that nail was in the wood wall, hanging very precariously. We would have liked to have a phone number to call the manager to let them know right away about those two incidents. The two chairs on the beach were old, they have holes in the mesh. Overall kids and adults had a great time.

Lovely Cottage for a Family

Posted Jul. 10, 2022 on HomeAway
The cottage was as listed. It is very well stocked with pretty much everything you could need. You really only need your linens, clothes and food! There is a good coffee maker, coffee bean grinder, toaster, microwave, lots of baking sheets, pans, pizza pan, bowls of all sizes, cutting boards, plates, glasses, wine glasses, utensils, etc. There are lots of toys for children which my grandchildren loved. The sandy beach and gentle sloping entry to the lake were perfect for the kids. Very clean on arrival except for the dishes that the previous renter was supposed to wash! There is one tv on the upper level. Wifi is good but the download speed is very slow. Beautiful sunny dock, newer than in the old pictures. The washer and dryer work well. They are smaller loads than a normal washer and dryer but worked out fine. Machines take loonies only. The showers work well and have great water pressure. The dishwasher is great! You cannot open the windows (there are no cranks) and you are expected to use the air conditioning. I suspect this is for liability reasons as the windows are quite high off the ground. You wouldn't want a little one accidently falling out of one of those windows! The only major issue we had is the deathtrap spiral staircase! It is not safe at all for young children and is treacherous to go up and down even for adults. We ended up using the outside staircase only. The deerflies/horse flies were bad and regular insect repellant does not deter them!! There were a few items that need attention. The lid on the BBQ is not attached. The outdoor shower does not work. Overall, I would say the owner does a good job of maintaining this cottage.
