Great friends trip
Me and a group of friends stayed at the cottage and had a great trip. The cottage was clean and had lots of equipment for lounging or water recreation. Andria was very helpful and communicated quickly to support us with any questions we had as well as during the check-in and check-out processes. Would highly recommend this property.

Amazing Muskoka Cottage Experience
My friends and I had a wonderful time on McVittie Island! Andria and John were extremely welcoming and helpful getting us checked in and were quick to respond with any questions. The cottage was clean and tidy and we got tons of use out of the provided kayaks and paddle boards! Location is perfect as Bracebridge is a quick 10 minute drive away for any shopping or exploring the town. We will certainly be looking to return!
