Beautiful place!
Gorgeous property. We stayed for thanksgiving weekend. It was chilly but the cottage had all the amenities we needed. We kayaked and canoed on the beautiful lake. Close to town if you need any items that you forgot to bring.

Beautiful Well Maintained Property
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Gladstone Lodge. The location and property were beautiful. There were a lot of great amenities like multiple deck spaces, private dock and water entry, firepit and hammocks. Terri was also very easy to reach and accommodating. My only tip for people looking to book is that this property does present challenges for those with mobility issues or for young children. Otherwise, I'd recommend this cottage to most!

The property is on a great little lake with beautiful view in the mornings.
The property was east to rent and communication was good with the owner. The place was clean and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The lake is very nice and very clean. There’s a canoe and kayak available to use with easy access to the water. The morning view is great and I was surprised at how many ducks there were in the morning swimming around. Overall a really nice place on a nice lake.

A great summer getaway in Baysville
We had a great time at Gladstone Lodge. The property was beautiful and the lake was stunning. There was lots to do - kayaking, canoeing, swimming, biking and more. The location was perfect and allowed us to enjoy some great golf nearby and visit nearby towns during our stay. A lovely place for our family to unwind for a week of vacation by the lake. Thanks for your hospitality, Terry!

About the host

Hosted by Terry Spiers

Host profile image
Terry and Mark live and work in Toronto and spend half of their time in Muskoka. They have a passion for all things cottage and lovingly restored this rare log cabin for two years making it the perfect place to spend a summer vacation. Terry is a food stylist in Toronto and Mark works for Air Canada.

Why they chose this property

We chose Baysville for the amazing nature, beautifully treed roads and proximity to Lake of Bays and the historic surrounding areas. We were excited to find a rare log cottage from the 1930's. We were also enticed by how one can enjoy the quiet or seek out local attractions. Near Historic Bigwin Island, charming town of Hunstville and tiny beautiful Baysville it is the perfect location for a summer vacation. Neighbors and local townspeople are friendly and helpful and full of pride for the area. The lake is beautifully calm and quiet and great for swimming. The area is blessed to be part of the great Canadian Shield.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the old log and the amazing large porch, perfect for eating breakfast or having drinks before dinner with a perfect view of the water. Unique benefits are quiet and calm lake, warm for swimming. Large flat rocks gently lead into shallow water with sand packed bottom which is great for swimmers of all ages. 2000 square feet of indoor living space on two floors is extremely comfortable for families. TV lounge in addition to living room allows kids and parents to pursue separate activities if desired. Feeling like you are back in time but with all the modern comforts of home is a rare experience. Not many log cabins of this age left in Muskoka. Wonderful wildlife and bird watching.
