We enjoyed our stay, wouldn't change a thing! The cottage is very clean, well-equipped, and a very enjoyable place to spend time. We hope to go back again!
Beautiful cottage and lake. We really enjoyed our stay and going out on the watercrafts. The kids loved the many blue jays and chipmunks. Great hikes in the area and small beach perfect for the kids nearby. Host got back to us quickly when there was an unexpected power outage in the area and was very attentive. Overall a great stay.
Have been fortunate to be able to stay here almost yearly for the past 5 years.
Stephen is a thoughtful caring host and makes the stay easy.
Beautiful location, gorgeous cottage
Peaceful tranquil and restful.
Can never say enough good things about it!
Amazing stay!! The cottage and location was perfect. So quiet and relaxing. The cottage is exceptionally clean and orderly. The host thought of everything! This is the most friendly and accessible host I have ever dealt with.
I highly recommend this cottage!

We had a great time at this lovely property. The setting, on a rock bed, overlooking the lake is beautiful. The cottage is well maintained and the owner went out of his way to make our stay a perfect one.
My family appreciated the availability of water crafts, the private deck, heated floors and the well appointed kitchen.
We came prepared with kitchen utensils etc. however the owner provides a large variety and we didn't need any of the ones we brought with us. Everything was there...
The cottage is decorated in good taste, the bathroom has a luxury feeling and the movie collection makes any rainy day a great one.
We hope to come back one day.
Steve our host was very accommodating & responded quickly to any questions we may have had. The cottage was easily accessible & perfectly situated by the the lake. Everything we needed was there. The cottage was well appointed with amenities. I would have no concerns recommending this location to prospective guests. Well done :)
We spent a lovely Thanksgiving weekend at Steve's property. It's perfectly outfitted for enjoying family time together. With a well-appointed kitchen, outdoor BBQ and smoker (we brought our own pellets), comfy beds and perfect climate control, we enjoyed our time inside playing board games and watching the ball game, and outside taking a short hike down the road, sitting by the lake or
roasting marshmallows
by the fire. Thanks for making your property available Steve, we made some great memories there!
Extremely well equipped and clean cottage that has everything you can think of that makes a cottage appealing.
Easy booking/check in process. Host is always available to address any questions. Beautiful location.
A delightful 5-night stay at this very peaceful cottage which is modern and has all the amenities including heated floors in the bathroom and kitchen. The shelves are filled with lots of games and books. Our awesome host made this first rental experience very easy through his excellent communication. Hope to come back again in the future.
Spent 5 days, 4 nights in Apsley at Stephenâs cottage, we had a great time and was provided with exceptional service.
Stephen is a top notch host; great communication throughout. We attended the cottage right after the windstorm in the area which caused a power outage at the cottage, and throughout the weekend leading up to the trip, Stephen was providing regular updates on the status of powers at the cottage.
Throughout the stay Stephen was attentive, and available for any inquiries and issues. Fortunately no issues arose, and the cottage experience was amazing. Very well supplied with DVDs, board games, water craft, bluetooth speakers in every room, cooking utensils, spices, etc. You will not be left wanting.
Property itself is in great condition, recently renovated and provided us a great stay. Definitely recommend this cottage.
The place is beautiful inside and out in amazing lakeside surroundings. Steve was super helpful and attentive and quick to respond. The place had everything we needed and more with many little details making it extra special (such as including doggie treats, a spice cupboard that rivals my own, games, wood for the fire, etc.). The place was clean and updated and was so enjoyable for my family and me. I would recommend to anyone!
We had a great time . Very easy communication with stephen . The cottage and surroundings are lovely .Stephen has thought of everything to ensure a very enjoyable stay for his guests .We are looking forward to going back again .

Quiet retreat in well equipped cabin....it was wonderful!
We spent three days celebrating a birthday, and spent days hiking and snowshoeing along the Crowe River and Eels Creek. This pleasant cabin was warm and comfortable. Heated floor was a bonus! Stephen, the host, was very helpful.
Very clean, modern yet warm and charming cottage. Ideally located, not too far of a drive from the city but also very quiet and serene. Stephen was a great host and made sure we were well taken care of. The snowshoes that were provided allowed us to walk through the thick snow and venture along the frozen lake, while the wood burning stove along with a huge pile of logs kept us warm. Also the heated floors were a nice surprise.
Beautiful kitchen made making meals easy. Lots to do at the cabin, as well. Many board games, books and Dvds as well as a guitar made for a fun time inside and out (including feeding the many blue jays!)
Would love to come back during the warmer months. 5 star.
Another beautiful time away at this cottage. As always itâs a warm welcome and the property is immaculate and perfect.
My son was thrilled with the abundance of movies and games and loved chopping wood lol. He fed the blue jays and squirrels and chipmunks all day too.
I had a terrific time and canât wait to return yet again in the future.
Unfortunately our fishing trip turned bad because the weather system shut the fish right off. Luckily this place is equipped with many games and Blockbuster movie closest for a marathon LOL! Stephen has this place set up so well, for a just incase things don't go as planned. I'm looking forward to rebooking and hitting some better weather to fish next time out.
Had a terrific week long stay with my wife and some friends that were up for a couple days at a beautiful cottage on Chandos Lake. Great location on a quiet bay. Well appointed and furnished. Kitchen is new and has everything. Owner provides everything you could ever want from a cottage rental: water toys, modern dock which was great to sit out on and also dock the pontoon boat we rented, detailed welcome binder, movie collection, board games, waterside and up top high quality adirondack chairs, perfect fire pit, wood, BBQ, even items to feed the chipmunks and bluejays. Ease of VRBO rental process with detailed website and photos plus excellent communication from owner was greatly appreciated. Will rent again in the future. 5 stars!
This cottage rental has everything you would want in a cottage. Very well thought out design inside and out. Beautiful location with easy access. The host provided an excellent vacation for our family and was easily accessible for any questions or issues. Definitely planning on coming back !
We just got back from another fantastic week at this property, this is our second visit and wonât be our last! I canât say enough about how incredible the experience was from start to finish. The property is extremely comfortable and clean. Stephen has thought of everything to make this cottage a home away from home. 10/10!!!
Our stay was everything we hoped for and more ! The property was beautiful and the cottage was clean and came equipped with everything you would need for a great vacation! The beds were super comfortable and the movie collection had something for everyone!
Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a cottage getaway!
Stephan was an excellent and gracious host !
Iâve stayed at this beautiful cottage twice before and hope to visit again. The owner is amazing and stays in touch to ensure everything going ok and to inquire if we require anything. He thinks of everything and the cottage needs nothing! Movies games books outdoor items kitchen supplies etc.
Just love the time away and itâs the perfect place to be.
We canât say enough positive things about our stay - it was the perfect little getaway. The cottage was immaculate and Steve has literally thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.... from the spice collection to the wall of endless DVDs. We visited during the winter so the indoor wood stove was a bonus and made for lovely comfy and toasty evenings. Highly recommend this place and we look forward to coming back!
We had the most relaxing, peaceful, and joyful time at this superb accommodation. Everything that you expect based on reviews and pictures will be outdo once you experience it first hand at this fully-equipped, comfortable, cozy piece of paradise in the middle of a beautiful area of Ontario. Thank you Stephen!
Live and work in Canada in the Coffee Industry, Fell in love with this property, do not get up as much as I would like in summer and enjoy sharing my property with others. Married with a 14 year old daughter.
Less than 10 mins to the town of Aplsey where you will find the most friendly people in Ontario and everything you need for your stay. LCBO, Grocery, Gas. If an avid ATV or Snowmobile rider you will find some of the best trails in Ontario around Chandos lake.
