We loved the entire household design and beach. It was good that Kayaks, Camões and SUP boards were provided as we used them everyday. The white sand beach was great for our toddler who loved building sand castles and the firepit was in the perfect place. Overall it was a good trip.

Cherry Island was such a perfect setting to host our wedding. We lucked out in that the leaves around the island were starting to turn and it didn’t rain. The island itself has a few trails and named locations that are fun to explore. The house was amazing and had pretty much everything that you needed for cooking or hosting. The beach was well kept and made a perfect place for people to hang out. The stone patio area is HUGE and easily fit our 20-25 guest tables socially distanced. The entire place is just thoughtfully made and picturesque. Many of our guests were talking about renting it in the future for friend or family gatherings! Cherry Island gave us the wedding of our dreams. We will absolutely be back, and soon 🙂

Wow!! The property on Cherry Island is STUNNING, BREATHTAKING, a piece of HEAVEN! Spectacular views from every room in the house. Spacious, clean and plenty of indoor and outdoor activities for all to enjoy. It is the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate. We made some great memories on this weekend getaway. Thank you again to Deena and Maryrose for being so kind, accommodating and bringing this weekend to fruition in such short notice.

This island is paradise! We were a big group and all the bedroom and en-suites, and seating areas, and patio furniture, and beach, and bar stools (ETC, ETC, ETC) made that place so great and livable. So grateful for Deena making it all happen. The space is spectacular and the customer service is just as good! All good things!

Can’t wait to come back!!
Owner was extremely responsive, friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The property was simply amazing – Muskoka is one of my favorite places, and I had never experienced staying in a luxury home on an Island in High Lake, and it was incredible. The cottage was fully stocked with equipment, bedding, towels, soaps, shampoos, and it was clean. Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing winter escape! Nothing compares!
I’m not even sure where to begin in reviewing Cherry Island. From the moment we stepped onto the frozen lake and made our way to the incredible island retreat, it was clear this was going to be a special weekend. We typically rent a ski chalet for our annual weekend escape of 15 friends, but this year decided to try something different. After this experience, we’ll never be able to go back to a chalet! This place has everything you could want for a winter getaway – comfort, scenery, activities and fun! We raced down the sled luge, snowshoed to the waterfall, soaked in the hot tub and had fantastic meals gathered around the enormous dining room table. My deepest thanks to you for being exceptional hosts. If you’ll have us, we’ll be back in the summer and hopefully, for more winter weekends to come.

Perfection from start to finish!
We rented Cherry Island cottage for the Easter long weekend and everything was perfect! Very good hosts. Right from the beginning they were very helpful and welcoming. From towing our car from the icy road to helping our group carry our luggage and supplies for the weekend through the frozen lake with their snow mobile. They took the time to give us a tour of the cottage, answering our questions and explaining how specific kitchen worked. The cottage was very clean, the sheets freshly washed, the wood in the fireplace ready to be set on fire and the hot tub was running when we arrived. Our group had an amazing time and we would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants an unique Canadian experience. One thing to be aware of regarding the bathroom. If you are a big group, make sure that showers are not taken at the same time as there is a limited amount of warm water and the water heater takes some time to heat up. That being said, it was a great experience! Thank you!

Our group is so lucky to be able to stay in this stunning beautiful cottage. One must actually go into the cottage to feel how well build it is. Owner is a very nice and cool host also our group age is quite young. Overall we enjoyed the place very much and hope more people will have the chance to visit.

Fantastic Airbnb experience. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable weekend. A fantastic host, welcoming us into the home and even providing snowmobile transportation across the frozen like for all of our stuff. The cottage was outstanding. The cottage was exactly how I would imagine it from the description on the website. Our group would love to come back again and enjoy this amazing place.

The perfect cottage – has it all!
The cottage is everything that you expect and more. We spent our days boating around in the Bentley, canoeing and swimming in the lake (which was extremely warm). The host was very accommodating to the needs of our group and responded promptly to all of our questions during our stay. She made our check in and check out very easy. I would highly recommend this place!
