The perfect summer cottage

This is our go-to summer getaway. We've been coming here since 2020, and we wouldn't change a thing. Great and safe beach with lots of space, huge lawn for outdoor activities, and well-equipped cottage. The hosts are really helpful as well.

Red Cottage on Khashe Lake

It was a great week. Super location right next to the boat launch area so we didn't have to carry the canoe far. Loved the beautiful lake (including floating dock to lie out on) and canoeing around the islands - so many of them! (Canoe was blue - had to check that it was theirs since the picture online shows a red one). We also really liked using their expansive front yard for lawn games like ladder ball and kubb. Cottage had all the supplies we needed including fresh water dispenser (only $2.99 to refill at Sobey's in town). Queen in master bedroom could use a bit firmer mattress. Deck furniture was beautiful and the furniture in the living room was very comfortable but starting to show some wear. Really appreciated the ceiling fans in every room. Air conditioners kept the cottage at a comfortable temperature. We had our shi-poo with us and it was great for her to have lots of space to roam on the property. We did have to be careful on two of our walks, though. Larger dogs that weren't on leashes came out barking (apparently visiting). Upon arrival, we had difficulty locating where the key was kept - directions could have been a bit more accurate. Friendly owners and really enjoyed our stay overall!

Year 4 a Success!

We have just returned from our 4th stay at The Dunlop cottage. We had yet another wonderful vacation with our dog, 7 year old and 4 year old. Our 7 year old enjoyed fishing off the dock every morning and evening and both kids swam everyday at the beach. The water is perfect for our kids-shallow enough to play and swim in - but also perfect for parents too! The owners were easily reached and responded to any queries promptly. Location is perfect- super close to Gravenhurst to grab groceries, enjoy parks or trails or go out for dinner. Location is also perfect for a day trip to Santa’s Village. We would not hesitate to book another vacation here!

The perfect home-base.

This quaint little cottage was the perfect home-base for us while visiting a music festival in Gravenhurst. It takes less than 10 minutes to get downtown. While not directly on the water, it is a stone's throw from a boat-launch and a 30 second walk from a public beach. You can enjoy your coffee in the morning on the back deck (or beach) and get a nice view of the lake. A definite reco, and the price was right. The owners were always available if needed and response times were quick during the process. Thanks again Dunlops!

Perfect getaway!

Able to ask questions prior to arriving- helpful and prompt responses. Easy to find and easily accessible. The highlights were the use of the canoes, being close to the water for a swim and the nearby dark sky reserve (also a great hike). The cottage is super cute and clearly well loved, adorned with horshoe awards, adding character to the place. Fire pit and horseshoe pit we could not use, due to the rain, but great features to have! There is a beach are just a few houses down. The owners were easily accessible by phone when we needed and lovely to communicate with. Definitely recommend the place. If you have a bad back, I recommend bringing a foam mattress to put on top of of the beds. Will definitely be booking again when we can! It was just what me and the family needed! Thank you.

Great place for a small family getaway! 7.5/10

The entire booking process was very easy, the property owners were fast and helpful with all my questions. The cottage was supplied with everything you need (note that pillows and linens are not provided) bring ur own and its no issue at all! The only reason I can’t give this place a 10/10 is because of the tap water. It was literally brown water, obviously we know not to drink it but simply washing our hands and face in that water very uncomfortable. Other then that everything else was just amazing! Would definitely come back again !

3rd year in a row!

This is our 3rd summer in a row here! We absolutely love everything about this cottage! It’s a perfect spot for a family with lots of place to play on the yard and a short walk to the beautiful beach and lake. We love that we can let the kids run around without fear of them going in the water but it takes less than a minute to go for a swim. The cottage is clean and contains everything a family needs for a great vacation. The community is wonderful and everyone is so friendly. We can’t recommend this spot enough

Simple, comfortable and fun

Hey its a no frills cottage. Was more than big enough for a 2 yr old, a 4 month old, my wife and I and my mother in law. Good fire pit, comfy chairs and plenty of firewood. Was really convenient to have the marina so close but with that came a LOT of foot and vehicle traffic.. I live in a busy downtown street and my street may see less traffic that that road to the marina did. The beach is really close and my 2 year old had a blast. Great for easy swimming and was never very busy.. We'd keep this on our list of potential for future rentals.. but if you are looking for a quiet private woodsy setting .. this isn't quite that.

Areas of improvement

The cabin is not well kept. It wasn’t clean, didn’t smell nice and the furniture and house is run down. There’s not a lot to do in the neighborhood and the kitchen is too small for a family cooking together. Communication with the owner and check-in was easy.

Very nice area!

We all really enjoyed our stay and the cottage is as describe. Cozy and comfortable. Plenty of space in the yard for kids to run around and play, pet friendly is a huge plus since we got to bring our dog with us. Locals are all very friendly and I had some very good conversations at the dock while fishing and got some pointers to areas to fish at when I went out on the water. There are various sizes of PFD available for kids and adults and the canoe is wide and stable, so good for first timers who may be a little anxious. Overall a very pleasant stay and the hosts, Shelly and Scott, were really nice and easy to get a hold of. Would definitely visit again.

Beautiful!

While the owners state that the property is not beachfront, it is steps away. We could see the beach/ small marina from the deck. I actually preferred the location because there was some privacy but you still feel in the mix. The community is so friendly and the owners made the process very easy! I definitely recommend!
