Beautiful lakeside retreat

Had a wonderful time at Lakeside Haven. Cottage was very clean and had lots of space for the whole family. Outdoor deck and fire pit was great and so nice to have all the water toys included (kayaks, canoes, life jackets, etc.). So close to downtown bracebridge and other local spots like Santa’s village for easy day trips.

Nice place, excellent location

The property is lovely -- and just like the listing said it was: modern, spacious and well appointed. The location is excellent: on the lake, lots of space to unwind outside, and close to Bracebridge. One small thing: bring a sleep mask if you wake up when there sun comes out -- there are no curtains on the windows.

Marvellous family vacation

We had a truly wonderful vacation with my husband, mom, and grandma—it was such a special reunion after three years apart! The cottage exceeded all our expectations. It was spotless upon arrival, thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need, and even welcomed us with a lovely basket of goodies.My mom and grandma were absolutely delighted—it was their first time staying in a vacation home, and this experience set the bar incredibly high.The bed deserves its own praise: unbelievably comfortable and cozy, making every night feel like a retreat. The primary bedroom offered a breathtaking view of the trees and lake—like gazing into a painting right before falling asleep.Our dogs had the time of their lives swimming and playing by the lake—it was pure joy to watch.Thank you so much for hosting us and making this family trip unforgettable!

Mr

A lovely cottage and a super spot. The house has amazing views over the lake for bedrooms and living spaces. A great seating area with fire pit close to the shore was well used and we managed to explore the lake in the canoes provided in the garage. There are no children’s buoyancy aids so best bring your own to avoid some upset little ones.

Great Place

We stayed just after Labor Day, everything was very quiet. The water was surprisingly warm. The lake is a good size and we had fun kayaking around. The entrance to the lake was a bit mucky, maybe due to recent rain. Hot tub was amazing. The cottage itself was spotless, and had every amenity you could have thought of and more.

Family getaway

This is a fantastic accomodation for anyone looking for a beautiful, well-equipped new cottage nestled in a quiet, forested location. It is on a quiet lake that is great for canoeing and Kayaking (both of which are provided for your use). The deck overlooking the water is great and all the solar lighting creates a beautiful ambiance at night, especially while soaking in the hot tub. A dock to enjoy the sunshine a little longer throughout the day and to by-pass the few weeds near the shore would make this a perfect 5 across the board. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Quiet Oasis

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful property. All the amenities were top notch and the views from inside the cottage are breathtaking thanks to the large windows throughout the cottage. The lake, while peaceful and quiet was still large enough to spend the entire day canoeing or kayaking and plenty of good fishing spots. There is no dock on the property however launching a canoe or kayak was easy thanks to the sandy and shallow shoreline. Dog loved it, we loved it. Thanks for the wonderful stay.
