"We loved having conversations every night around the fire pit. The kitchen was amazing to cook family dinners. The house was spotlessly clean. Immaculate. Everyone loved the games in the party barn and adult kids matching movies downstairs "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! The location can't be beat! The condo was spotless and well cared for with a lovely mix of past and present. The kitchen was GREAT and we prepared a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner in it. The host was responsive, friendly and welcoming! I highly recommend this property. "

"My close friends and I had a wonderful stay at the cabin over Thanksgiving weekend. There were enough beds for our group and the facilities ensured we enjoyed home comforts while also living up to promises of quiet and solitude in nature. We had long chats by the fire by night and hiked in the surrounding Backus conservation area by day. We will definitely be back in the future! "

"We stayed at Life’s a Beach Oct 3-5. The check in was easy and our host was extremely easy to communicate with very friendly. The condo is immaculate. Clean, great decor and kitchen is stocked with everything you would need. We would highly recommend staying here. The balcony is covered and has beautiful Muskoka chairs. The view is great and a great location to bird watch, go to the beach or wine tasting. We would give 6 stars if we could. "

"We use the beach cottage to access the provincial park as well as the long point birding observatory. The park is about a five minute walk straight down Erie street while the LPBO banding station is located just around the corner along big cut Road.Beach access is also about five minutes down Erie street and down a short cul-de-sac.The cottage was very well cared for and rustic, which is our preference. It’s was well decorated and has everything anyone could need to call home for a week.We will definitely consider returning next year during the fall migration which begins in late August and early September. "

"Great experience, Julie is an excellent host, beautiful location and cottage."

"Our family has been staying at this cottage every year since 2021, and it’s always a wonderful experience! It comfortably fits three small families — ours, my sister’s, and the grandparents. The layout is well thought-out, the bathrooms are clean and spacious, and the kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable stay with a larger group.Over the years, the cottage has seen many thoughtful upgrades. One of our favorite features is a cozy netted area on the second level — perfect for keeping an eye on the kids while enjoying a cup of coffee or playing board games downstairs in the dining area.The location couldn’t be more convenient — just a short walk to the beach, which is ideal for grandparents or families with young children. The beach itself is fantastic: shallow areas make it safe for little ones, but deeper water is easily accessible too.We’ve celebrated birthdays and special milestones here, and every year our kids ask when we’re coming back — it’s truly become a cherished tradition for our family."
