A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Me and my friends stayed a couple nights to have a fun getaway. We had a cottage close to the water, with fun areas to walk around and use the canoes and kayaks. The owner and her daughter always made sure our cottage had all the supplies we needed. The cottage itself was kept very clean and supplied before our stay. I 100% recommend going here and we sure will be coming back next summer.”
“Me and my girlfriend booked a 4 day holiday at Katawoda Cottage Resort for our 8th year anniversary, and we had a nice, relaxing stay, Helen was super friendly and gave us a great deal for the 4 days we stayed, was very quiet and peaceful and got to relax and explore a lot of the area that we haven’t gotten to see before. 5 stars for everything, super friendly staff and very knowledgeable, would definitely come back”
“Had an unforgettable stay at Katawoda Cottages! The cottages were super clean and well-maintained, and the location is absolutely breathtaking. This is the cutest family resort, run by a hardworking family that works extremely hard to meet everyone’s needs. The fishing was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the beautiful sandy beach. There were plenty of canoes and kayaks available, which made exploring the lake even more fun. It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!”
“This past weekend, I stayed at Katawoda Cottages with a group of friends, and it was truly an incredible experience. The cottage was cozy and spotless when we arrived. The lake was absolutely beautiful, and the sunrise each morning was breathtaking. What made our stay even more special was the wonderful staff. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful, especially Helen. She was incredibly friendly and always happy to answer any questions we had. We had such a memorable time and are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Katawoda Cottages, for an amazing getaway!”
“We stayed at Katawoda Cottage for 3 nights late May. We had a perfect " Tom Thomson" view from the large cottage window. The cottage had all the necessary equipment for your daily needs. It was well kept and if it had been summer the beach would have been perfect”
“We stayed at Katawoda Cottage Resort with friends, and it was absolutely wonderful! The resort is located in a beautiful, peaceful area surrounded by nature. Our cottage was cozy and right by the water - the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The staff were incredibly friendly and communicative. Helen was especially amazing - she helped us fix some mistakes we made during booking and offered the best possible solution. We also loved the kayak and canoe rentals and were pleasantly surprised by the fish cleaning station. A fantastic place to spend a long weekend - we’ll definitely be back!”
“Amazing views of Georgian Bay, surrounded by nature, enjoying canoeing / kayaking and a beautiful sandy beach. Lovely cottage, well stocked with kitchen appliances & supplies, propane bbq, comfortable beds and furniture. Movies, games and puzzles available for entertainment. We had an amazing, relaxing, enjoyable time during our vacation at this wonderful "pet friendly" resort. Thank you Helen and staff for a week of awesome memories.”
