Summary: The cottage had everything you could need and was very well curated in a retro/cottage/ old school vibe. But also all of your basic luxuries. Great quiet property on a quiet lake. If you’re looking to actually escape and shut it down, this is the place. Ted is a great guy who cares for his property and his guests and makes everything easy and amazing. What a gem.

Summary: Our stay at MOONDOG RETREAT was fantastic! The cottage is super charming with its delightful Canadiana decor and thoughtful design choices. If you're into kitsch, you'll love the fun touches around every corner. The amenities were excellent, with WiFi and a smart TV to keep us connected and entertained. We enjoyed the lakeside fire pit, the paddle boats (which our dog loved), and the kayaks that Ted personally delivered – such a nice touch! The setup for outdoor entertaining was perfect, whether we were by the fire pit or just hanging out on the dock with a beer. See you next summer!

Summary: Our family stayed for the long weekend and it was so relaxing and quiet!! A definite rustic cabin like was used to when I was a kid, but with an actual bathroom! Lol Cousins cottage growing up back in the day had an outhouse lol. Ted gives you so much information about where everything is and was just a text away if we had a question!! Would definitely return again!!

Summary: This was the true rustic cottage experience that I grew up knowing. Very private and quiet with millions of stars and no light pollution. Calm lake without all the boats (there were just a few) made it wonderful for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, row boating and paddle boarding!! Our two large dogs loved it and our German Shepard was in more than us! The water is the cleanest and softest we have experienced in years. The cottage has all of the amenities you could need, with a real quaint days gone by vibe. It was perfect for us and our dogs without having to worry about our dogs with close neighbors. Truly Heaven on earth!!!! Thanks Ted for your hospitality!!

Summary: Ted has a wonderful cottage to share, full of family history and all the conveniences you could want. The lake is beautiful and the water deep enough off the short dock that you can just dive right in. Plenty of privacy, lots of seating, great WiFi...what more could you ask for? Ted was remarkably helpful, answering any questions I had quickly and accurately. Hey, it's a cottage so you have to figure out how things work, where stuff is, and you can't expect a "hotel" experience hence why I only gave it 4 cleanliness stars. However, it was much cleaner than the cottage I owned for years! I've rented a lot of cottages in the last few years and this was one of my best experiences. We'll certainly look at coming back to the Moondog Retreat!

Summary: We stayed at the Moondog Retreat with our kids and our dog. The place is lovely and well cared for. It has all the amenities you would need to be comfortable and enjoy your stay. We enjoyed the amazing sunsets on the deck, we had campfire story time and smores, got to spot a few shooting stars, made good use of the lake - swimming and canoeing. We had a great family getaway. We also stopped in Dorset to climb the tower. We loved our stay at the Moondog Retreat, the kids loved it - would definitely recommend!!
