Very peaceful accommodation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Malcom and Penny were very friendly and accommodating and they have a lovely garden The position of the studio was perfect, right on the lake, very private, very quiet and well appointed. It was quite close to Toronto for coffee shops and restaurants and a central point exploring for the area. Thoroughly recommend Shanes Seafood Shop which is not on the main street
