The house and entire property were even better than advertised. Extremely clean and set up to easily host families. Everything that you could need for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway was included. Highly recommend staying here.
This is our second year at this "home away from home".
This property absolutely meets our requirement of a clean, fun family holiday cottage for adults and children.
Loved it!!
There were 16 of us staying and the place was everything we thought it would be and more. It had everything we needed, from entertainment to space to every little utensil in the kitchen. What a fun weekend!
The property was fabulous. We had twelve women and the number of bedrooms, the size of the kitchen, the two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two stoves and ovens were out of this world. It was so clean and well taken care of. Can’t say enough good things about the place. Would definitely go back again.
Excellent, spacious just perfect in size for our family of 15. Rainy weekend so we stayed inside the whole three days. The home had everything we needed to keep everyone busy. Nothing we needed was missing.
We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving weekend at this beautiful, well-equipped and inviting facility with four generations of our family. The cottage is so spacious with something for everyone. The kitchen was a dream to work in with everything you could possibly need to host a beautiful weekend. The media room, the games room, the amazing view of the lake - everything was perfect. There was truly something for everyone. The hosts were very helpful and supportive. You couldn't ask for a better location or cottage to enjoy family time together.
Perfect cottage. Everything is thought of by property owner. 8 bedrooms, each has 2 queen beds. Perfect for a large group.
Basement rec room area so great for hanging out.
Outdoor areas were perfect as well for corn hole and frisbee and hanging out by the water.
Kitchen has more than enough of everything. 2 commerical fridges and freezers. 2 ovens. 2 drip coffee machines.
Cottage is perfect. Zero complaints. Book it while you can, you wont regret it.
Winsley house has it all! They have thought of everything and made our stay so amazing.
The owners have done an amazing job outfitting their property to easily host large groups or multiple families. The amenities are amazing and we’re enjoyed immensely this past weekend.
Beautiful cottage on a small quiet lake. This was the second year we stayed at this property. The cottage easily accommodated my parents, my daughter’s family and my siblings (and their families). It is well equipped, beautifully furnished and is very comfortable. Norm is very responsive to any questions. Our family very much enjoyed our stay.
This cottage is perfect for the extended family that wants to get together for a vacation but is still large enough that everyone can "have their own space". Appropriate for all age groups. Something for everyone to do!
Our grandchildren had a ball at the waters edge and running and playing on the property in a very safe environment. Movie room was a big hit with them as well.
Everything was clean, in good working order and host was very available for any questions we had. Overall had a terrific family holiday!! Hope to repeat again for sure.
Our family of 12 (7 adults and 5 children) enjoyed our summer vacation at the "Winsley House' very much. Everyone's expectations were not only met but exceeded. There is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy themselves. The beach area was great for our 2 & 4 year old and all of the water crafts were used daily by everyone and the theatre was an added bonus. Thank you for providing a clean, wonderful home in a beautiful setting that everyone enjoyed. 5 stars!!!
A very well appointed “ set up” for large groups .
It is purpose built .
We had three families with little kids and the property worked very well. Toys , boats , everything thought out ..
The property would also work for adult groups as well, as long as everyone understands this is a very quiet lake setting.
Very good place, with all amenities you wish for. The theatre didn’t work at first, but they sent someone and fixed the issue immediately, which was very appreciated. Great stay, great host!
This property continues to be spectacular. The owners are very responsive and helpful and the property is gorgeous. Everything you could want or need is at your disposal. We have rented several times and will continue to do so again and again. Until next time…
A wonderful stay at this property! It is a beautiful and well equipped house with everything your heart can desire. Both indoors and outdoors are absolutely perfect with so many activities to choose from. The owner is very responsive and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to book it again and again!
This is our second stay at this cottage and we hope to come back again every year! This property is amazing in every way. The owners have thought of every single detail you can imagine. I can't recommend this property more! It's perfect.
The property was spectacular. The house was something you see only on TV. The property owners put so many personal touches to the property. It lacked nothing. There was so much to do on the property. Everything in the home was in excellent condition The best part was the home theatre. There are no words to describe the beauty of the view. The property owners were very easy to communicate with. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We will definitely visit again and recommend this property to others.
My wife searched extensively for a cottage that would accommodate her parents, brothers and our daughter's family. Due to Covid-19 health concerns, we were all excited about a summer getaway.
We made daily use of the lake, the kayaks and the lake for swimming. Our eight year old nephew caught his very first fish and then proceeded to catch four more for good measure. He was over the roof with excitement!
The generous cottage space provided sufficient rooms and bathrooms for all twelve family members and we also enjoyed the basement movie room for a few evening screenings.
We were able to drive into Huntsville for some food shopping as well as an afternoon ice-cream following a nature trail hike.
All in all, it was a great family holiday. The hot and sunny weather only added to our fun.

About the host
Hosted by Norm Johnson
I'm a prairie boy that has been blessed to live and travel around much of the world. I now call Southern Ontario home where I'm a husband, father to 3 wonderful children, and now a grandpa (Pops) to our grand-daughters.
Why they chose this property
My wife and I discovered Muskoka when our children were young. We really love the region and invested in our first cottage, along with some friends, back in 2012.
I will always try to meet and even go beyond the expectations of your stay. If you have suggestions for me, please let me know!
Some great features I have at this new property are due to the inspirations of other guests that stayed with me and had interesting ideas. So please don't hesitate to let me know your thoughts. Feel free to communicate with me!
What makes this property unique
This new cottage, "The Winsley", is named after my first grand-daughter. She is also our family's first great- grandchild. We hope that our guest's stays are joyful - in the same way that Winsley inspires that sentiment within our lives.
I'm a big geek in life and many of my interests and habits are reflected throughout this property. We love the Muskoka outdoors but also enjoy the comforts and convenience of modern homes and spaces. We think that this cottage is a unique blend of each.
