Wonderful location for a cottage with perfect access to the outdoors. Great that kayaks were available from the rental business. Rustic building, no door on the freezer, but once we knew what was what, which was unfortunately on the second day of our stay, it was perfect. Unfortunately I didn't get a response about the Sandbanks pass number when I requested it a week before our stay so there were no reservations available at Outlet Beach.

Not Accurate or Safe
The place has issues with safety. The handle rail into the cottage wobbles, the toilet is not secured to the floor and the fridge has no freezer door so you can't keep anything frozen. The owner told us that was fine and would not fix it.The back deck step has no handle rails, the wood step is rotten and is on cinder blocks which comes completely off.The deck is uneven and a tripping hazard, the couch does not lay flat and is prompt up on wood as a leg is missing from the couch. The BBQ is disgusting it has never been clean and it has two inches of animal fat buildup and it is only a table top size as well. So it would be difficult to cook for six.There are no fly screens on some windows, which you need as there is no A/C which makes it really hot for cooking. The stove is right next to the entrance so if your cooking beware of handles turned out as people enter/exit the front door. The water pressure is very poor and will continually decrease until there is no water, so we had to fill containers from the lake to flush the toilet. The roof is falling apart with rotten shingles and nails on the ground. One of our boys stepped on a nail and it went through his shoe. This place is not made for six people, as the ad says sleep six, impossible, the fridge is a mini fridge, so it doesn't hold enough food for six, and like a I said tiny tabletop BBQ, how do you feed six people at the same time.Would not recommend!!! We have documented everything and will be pursuing this further.

Beautiful location, but there rest is below average
Location: Fantastic view and easy access. Gorgeous sunset. Cottage: Vintage cabin feel, but dirty, full of spider webs that were not cleaned from previous client. I spent 30 minutes removing over 20 spider webs from the bedroom to the bathroom and kitchen. Listing says 3 bedrooms, but only has 2. Bathroom does not have privacy: it has no proper door and the wall is open to a bedroom. So outsiders can hear and see you. The entire cottage felt dirty, and we had to make our own bed. Host: He's responsive, but not accommodating to a slightly later checkout. His checkout time was 10am, and when I mentioned that standard checkouts are usually 11am or 12pm, he mentioned that it was mentioned in the listing. That was a lie, as it was only shared after a non-refundable payment. His property rules charge you a penalty if you move furniture, don't take out the trash or even leave 5 mins late. Needless to say, those strict rules and lack of customer service were disappointing.

Rustic cottage
Great location, beautiful view. However it is an old cottage, with not a lot of privacy as bedroom and bathroom doors don't close properly. The cottage is older with not great screens on the windows. So expect insects. Issues with cleanliness, regarding floors and dishes. Wifi was excellent and fans worked great.

The location is amazing. It is, as many have said before, a dated cottage, but with the back porch and great weather you don't spend any time inside anyway. I would suggest getting a new cleaner! Although we may have been among the first guests, cleanliness was an issue. Other than that, great!

Great little family getaway
This is our second year booking and we were happy with our stay. My kids enjoyed being right on the lake and fishing from the deck. Great location, 5 minutes from Sand Banks provincial park and about 20 minutes from Picton. Highly recommend booking the pontoon at West Lake Watersports if you’re looking for more water activities.

Beautiful in the off season
Easy check in, beautiful views, quiet in the off season, dirty floors. More appropriate for the weekend warrior than a young family. Had everything we needed, but we were quite concerned to find glass on the floor and in the floor mats, that apparently the ‘cleaner’ had not cleaned up before we arrived.

Not recommended as listing is misleading
This was a weekend away with four girlfriends celebrating birthdays. We were all very disappointed with our experience of our accommodations. The cottage was very dirty, all windows/screens in the cottage were filthy, the main door screen had tape on it trying to keep the wasps out, the kitchen window rattled loudly due to the wind, the patio screens did not even close together, entrance door handrail was broken, the pullout couch had springs sticking out and no sheets, the blankets all smelled and we had to put them outside to air out, no dishwasher rack, water pressure was minimal, kitchen faucet is ready to fall off, both mattress were barely acceptable, the power went out when we used the microwave and we had to find the breakers to reset, the power went out overnight on Sat. No one showed up to prime the pump, so we had no water for the toilette or washing. We texted the owner at 835 am and left by 930 am and no one had showed up. The view was great but this is not a rustic cottage, it is a very dirty, smelly and not well kept. If you have any type of allergies don’t stay as the dirt, mould and general uncleanliness will impact you. I feel it is necessary to ensure all understand what they are walking into. We spent little time at the cottage and we are all very glad of that. We reached out to the openers on Sunday and they were not open to anything. The windows.screens were mentioned by previous clients and their explanation was that it was from Sept. This is not true. I would like at least one night back for compensation.

I went in the fall, colours are beautifully, the location of the cabin was great, we stayed in the first cabin and the side yard was huge, which we loved. The fire pit was set up nice and the chairs were great condition. The cabin was a rustic cottage. I didn't mind it but my friends had mixed opinions. There was a lot of pluses to being on the water, nice beach, location, side yard fire pit, cabin was clean, bed sheets were good. The cabin was old and tired. So it was like a true cabin. If you are looking for upscale then this might not be the place. But if you can look past the maintenance then this is the perfect place. For city people who do not know what i mean: Turned on the oven and we could smell mouse pee. Very destictive smell if you grew up in cottage County. But the smell did go away and there was no signs of mice so all is good. This is a two bedroom cabin with the third bed being in the livingroom (not) so comfortable. It was really windy one night the window rattled all night. The shower you could see outside (hole), electrical nightmare for plugging in a device. Again it is a cottage not a hotel so just have the right expectation going in and you will love it.

The basic cleanliness of the beds were fine but the rest of the cottage wasn't clean and run down. The BBQ grill was dirty and the scrapper was dead. Water pressure and hot water was spotty. I was not expecting a 4 star hotel. I knew it was a rustic cottage but even at that it was underwhelming.

Beautiful views
Loved being right on the water. The cottage was cute but needed some major work done. There was no screens that did not have holes in it. When we first arrived we had to take the broom to the cobwebs and spiders. I am well aware that if there is water close by there would be spiders but these had been there for awhile. We had to clean all the fans especially over the island as it was so dusty when we turned it on the dirt would come off. The fold out couch was broke and very uncomfortable to sleep on. Our host was great and helpful when we did have questions

Pride of Ownership ???
I don't normally do reviews. In this situation I feel its necessary. The location provided us spectacular sunsets. The cottage is old, it's rustic and we have no problem with that but we strongly felt it lacked "Pride of Ownership". The cottage was poorly cleaned prior to our arrival and many things needed the owners attention to make it clean and safe. The windows and screens were filthy from years of ?? the entrance door didn't have a screen. The hand railing at entrance was rotten and not attached. First Impression rating was '0'. The ceilings inside had cobwebs. Every room had ceiling fans thankfully but very dirty with bugs and dust. Dropped food from previous renters was still inside the garbage cupboard, the microwave was beyond gross. The BarBQ wasn't much better and no utensils. The shoreline needs improvement to gain entry to water. An older person would not be able to hop the rocks to go for a swim. Etc. etc. My list is long. The firepit was terrific and had lovely new Muskoka chairs and picnic table. I'm a single mom and I work hard to be able to provide my family with summer holidays together. We did our best to look beyond the deficiencies and I do hope improvements are made for future vacationers.

A Little bit disapointed
The location is exceptional but the owner said it is rustic. There is a difference between rustic and not maintained at all. I dont understand people Who has the incredible Chance to own a place like this and doesn't take care of it properly. If you don't mind spider web, poor matress and checking where you walk for head screw coming out of the deck then you are fine. and above all, hope for the wind to keep going to avoid the smell of septic tank. But the view and the Lake are really awesome. Peaceful and quiet place. Need major repair and it would be great

A great place for a short getaway
I must start by saying me & my 3 friends rented this property for my birthday weekend getaway which was for 2 nights and we had a good bonding time away from our day-to-day responsibilities. The property is located right by the water & across the road there is more water. It was quite windy during our stay & being close to water made it chilly. We did get to see goose & swans lazing on the water. My friends & I sat outside on the lawn chairs & had long conversations & simply enjoyed mother nature. We also did a wine tour one day which was very enjoyable. We had a good time but will I stay here again - no. This is the constructive feedback part - the property is older so when we saw two little mice the first night of our stay we didn't make a big deal of it except make sure no food was left outside.. The hot water tank probably needs replacing because the hot water didn't smell right, the cold tap was alright. This is also another reason we didn't shower in the property. The same is true for the oven, even though it is clean it had a smell when we turned it on. I had called when the power got tripped & it was a quick fix to turn the circuit back on. So I got a quick response. If you are looking to stay with kids & longer this may not be the property for you. However, for our needs this property was sufficient & my friends & I had a great time! Thank you.

The view was amazing. The condition of the property left alot to be desired. The toilet leaked, 2 of 4 stools needed repair, the bbq had no utensils, the fuses kept popping, the windows rattled and let the cold in, the kitchen lacked clean safe appliances. The owners did come correct what they could but was aware of issues and commented that the building needed to be torn down and rebuilt. Still had fun in the county but would not recommend this property
