Bob’s Lake
Nice location and lovely views. The cottage was spacious and large enough to accommodate our family of seven. Disappointed in the lack of basic cooking utensils which caused me to have to quickly change cooking plans for Thanksgiving. Cottage could use a deep clean with particular attention paid to black mould around kitchen sink and master shower.

Reunion with Friends
This property offered the ideal location for our group of couples to gather. Spacious both indoors and out, it allowed for many moments of group laughter and games, sharing of intimate conversations or quiet moments alone. The lovely view and multiple amenities contributed to our enjoyment. We were able to easily launch our kayaks and canoe from the waterfront, had a campfire one night under a very starry sky, took advantage of the large lawn for a game of Bocce ball and were delighted by the birdlife. Thank you Forest for being such a courteous and responsive host and for sharing your property. We certainly have many new special memories!

Clean, spacious, quiet oasis on a fantastic lake!
My friends and I had an unforgettable three-night stay at Bob's Lake, and our only regret was not booking a longer stay! The cottage was immaculate, incredibly spacious, and offered stunning views of the lake from the cathedral-style living room with its floor-to-ceiling windows. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the en-suite bathrooms in each bedroom were a luxury we greatly appreciated. The property is expansive, beautifully maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a perfect getaway. We made the most of the large dock, kayaks, pedal boat, and lawn games. The ample outdoor seating on the deck was ideal for our large group to relax and socialize. The lake itself was pristine and perfect for swimming, with no seaweed to worry about. We accessed it through a small sandy beach, which made it easy to enjoy the water. Although there is a cottage next door, the activity on the lake was minimal, and it felt much more secluded compared to other areas we have stayed. Everyone in our group agreed that this was one of our best cottage experiences ever, and we’re already planning our return next year. A big thank you to Forest for the warm hospitality and the thoughtful welcome bottle of wine!

Great Family Vacation
9 adults, one grandson, and two dogs all had a great time. It's so hard to find a nice cottage that can handle all of us, especially the dogs, but this one certainly did. The views of Bob's lake from the dock are amazing and the sandy beach and protected bay is perfect for swimming and paddle boarding.

Gorgeous Weekend Stay
We had a wonderful time at this property! We rented it for my mother’s 70th birthday and were very impressed. The house was clean and gorgeous and my mother greatly appreciated the air conditioning. Communication with the host was excellent and all questions were answered quickly. The area was gorgeous and all the children (ages 2, 5, 9, and 11) enjoyed swimming in the lake. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

Bob's Lake Paradise a True Paradise
We were completely impressed with the property and the location of the cottage. We have gone to few other locations and this one by far was the best with the cottage itself and the lake. We would spend every day on the dock and enjoy the lake as access was great since you had a sandy entrance with little amount of weeds. Would definitely consider staying here again.

My family's weekend stay at this cottage was wonderful. The property has everything you could ask for, and the children loved the outdoor playground, and getting out on the lake. It didn't hurt to wake up in the morning to that gorgeous view, either! Our only regret was that we hadn't booked a longer stay - would definitely return for another visit!

This property is amazing and perfect for large families. I could just imagine a nice xmas dinner or Thanksgiving dinner overlooking the beautiful view of the lake from the large cathedral windows. This cottage was very well equipped, organized and very clean. Forest was a great host and am definitely recommending this cottage.

Family and Friends memories made
We stayed over a weekend in October. The home and location were beautiful. We had young children and the property was perfect. The yard, the beach, the playground were a hit. Everyone enjoyed fishing from the doc and the mist in the morning and the call of the loon was the icing on the cake. Everything was clean, well cared for and included everything you would need for a perfect and relaxing get away. Soo many great memories were made. We all wanted to stay longer.

A wonderful Thanksgiving weekend getaway!
We had a great family get-together for the long weekend. Although the weather wasn’t the greatest, we managed to go for a bit of a kayak and take some lovely walks. The pool table and air hockey were wonderful entertainment. We easily prepared our feast in the well- equipped kitchen and just enjoyed being together in such a beautiful setting. The complimentary wine and cookies were a great bonus, as well as the supplied coffee. Many memories were made! Thank you, Forest! Vicki & family

We had an awesome time here from the moment we arrived and saw Forest’s lovely welcome note, complimentary bottle of wine and cookies. The lake is gorgeous and peaceful. The paddle boat and two kayaks were a big hit with everyone. We went fishing everyday and had a blast. And we loved seeing the loons, hummingbirds and frogs. The cottage has a great layout and is spacious and very comfortable. The teenagers loved the loft! The ensuites are very comfortable and clean. The games room is cool, we especially enjoyed playing ping pong! The kitchen and sunroom are well equipped and we were grateful for the wine/beer fridge, big pots and the rice cooker. We brought our dog and he absolutely loved being here! Thank you Forest, for answering all our questions so promptly, for making the whole process so smooth and stress-free. You are a great host! — Karen and guests.

Absolute Paradise!
We spent most of our time walking around saying "can you believe this place." Everything from the kitchen, games, water toys, internet, umbrellas, seating, the grounds !, the docks ! etc etc, the list goes on and on. The host was great, and we felt like someone was letting us stay at their fully loaded house. Cant say enough about the property, we will probably book for a week or more next year. We plan on moving to this area soon and staying here helped solidify that decision. Bobs Lake is true paradise and so is this property. The Vann Family.

A True Cottage Paradise
We spent a week with family and friends and absolutely loved the place. The cottage is beautiful with everything you need including gourmet coffee. The beach and access to the lake is shallow which is perfect for our 4 grandchildren to build sand castles and splash in the warm water. We were able to use the Pedal Boat and two kayaks which was a nice surprise. The dock has a beautiful deck with lovely Muskoka chairs which we sat on every evening to enjoy the late afternoon sun. The host, Forest, was wonderful and made us all feel welcome. We will definitely be back - hopefully to start an annual cottage tradition for our extended family.
