What Guests are Saying

★★★★★

“We had an amazing stay at Mildred's! The cottage is beautifully set up — the Kawartha Lakes waterfront views from the deck are absolutely stunning. The resort amenities are a huge bonus. Our kids loved the splash pad and pool. We'll be back every summer!”

— Sarah M., Toronto, ON

★★★★★

“Best luxury cottage rental in the Kawarthas we've ever done. Super clean, modern, and stocked with everything you need. The 1 Gbps WiFi was a great surprise — I could work in the mornings and still enjoy the resort all afternoon. Highly recommend for anyone looking for Ontario cottage rentals in the Kawarthas.”

— James K., Mississauga, ON

★★★★★

“Incredible value for what you get. You're paying for a private Kawartha Lakes waterfront cottage but you get full access to a golf resort — pools, kayaks, restaurant, golf, and fishing right from the dock. Kawartha Lakes sunsets from the front deck are something else. Don't hesitate, just book it.”

— Linda & Tom R., Oshawa, ON
