James’ place was a perfect getaway escape from the city. His home looked exactly like the photos and as described. The directions into the home were precise and easy to follow. James also left welcoming gifts, which we enjoyed with dinner! James’ place was impeccably clean. Everything you needed was at your fingertips. Beautiful large kitchen to enjoy family meals indoors, lovely living room area and beautiful outdoor space. The hosts have thought of everything! The home has a perfect spot on the lake for relaxation, quiet, and calmness. We loved our stay! Can’t wait to book again!!

Such a fantastic week at the Muskoka Blue Heron. Beautiful and newly renovated, very clean, and the most well appointed cottage we have ever stayed at. Everything is well thought out for guests, comfortable beds, brand new appliances and nice big bbq. We spent most of our time soaking up the sun on the dock, laying in the hammock under the pine trees, paddle boarding, playing lots of games - corn hole was a favourite, and having evening fires. James and Corrina were great hosts making everything easy for check in, cottage book for reference for any questions, we didn’t have any issues at all. We would definitely recommend this cottage!

From the moment we arrived we knew we chose the perfect place. The entire cottage was exactly what we expected. It’s well appointed and updated with a fully stocked kitchen. We enjoy cooking, barbecuing and it had everything we needed. When we decided to eat indoors the harvest table is situated where we enjoyed the lake view. The living room is very comfortable, cozy and bright with views of the water. Beds were clean and comfortable and it was good to have a bathroom and a half with four adults. We spent most of our days outdoors. The upper deck is spacious with a table and chairs. This is where we enjoyed most of our meals. The dock was big enough for us to sit and enjoy the scenery. We took our paddle boards and kayak and there was room on the dock to store them when we were not using them. The lake is perfect for paddling as there are many coves and little islands to discover. We also had fun playing corn hole in the large yard. We will definitely return for another visit.

Gloucester Pool is one of the most beautiful places in Ontario, with unfettered access to Little Lake through the narrows, as well as access to the Severn waterway, which opens up seemingly limitless boating adventure. James was a wonderful host, and his cottage is situated in a beautiful, quiet bay from which you can explore the water if you own or rent a boat. The cottage is very well maintained. Without compromising the cozy feel you want in a cottage, it’s got a fresh, up-to-date decor with beautiful views of the water. The cottage is also laid out nicely. There was plenty of room for my two daughters, who each brought a friend, and me — the five of us felt the cottage spacious enough for everyone. I highly recommend this cottage!

James and Corrina's cottage exceeded our expectations. It was impeccably clean, well-maintained, and offered comfortable beds and thoughtful sleeping arrangements. The hosts were exceptional—kind, thoughtful, and excellent communicators. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful lakeside retreat!
