A week of fellowship and painting
It was clean, well-equipped, modern enough to be comfortable, quaint enough to be interesting. We enjoyed the charming property and the historic village in which it is located. Very enjoyable week. We hope to return next year.

Family vacation
The place is exactly as shown. Muskoka chairs are in excellent condition by the fire. Kayaks are almost new and the large inventory of life jackets means everyone can enjoy the water. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cutlery, coffee and coffee machine, laundry equipment are all in excellent condition.

Cousins weekend
The house had a well stocked kitchen for dishes,etc. we did find the fridge a bit small. There were plenty of linens and towels. All the bedrooms are a good size. Pretty location. You can also park in front of the house, which we didn’t know until we unloaded our vehicles. Right next to the local store and LCBO. Wonderful coffee shop a walk away. Very pretty little town

We held a reunion of friends here. The home was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the big modern kitchen, the hot tub, and the nice bedrooms.
We also enjoyed our walk around town and short hike through a nearby nature park.

40th birthday weekend
This was my second time staying at Kingsgate and I was not disappointed! The hot tub and fire pit have both been upgraded since my last stay which was fabulous!
Such a quaint home and little town. The views will make you not want to leave!

Hidden Gem
This is lovely hidden gem in the historic little town of Delta! The house that was built in the 1800s has everything you need for weekend getaway or longer.
We enjoyed the sunrise over the lake and having coffee on the porch in the mornings!
Definitely would not hesitate to come back!

Great vacation home!
The home was beautiful, located on the lake, with the ease of walking to a store and a
liquor store, and other sites close by. The home was well furnished with everything you
need. The owner was great and answered when called. I highly recommend this to any

This was a lovely property!! Fully equipped and ideally located near amenities and lakefront.
Our annual reunion is held in different locations and this, by far, exceeded our expectations! The lake house is charming, full of character and in a lovely small town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this property. Thank you Michael!
