About Jeanette Turvey

Hi there! I'm Jeanette and I manage Scottspoint Islandview with my partner (and owner) Bob. Although an American citizen, Bob moved to Huntsville for work in the early 90's and purchased our cottage in 1999. Bob continues to spend a lot of time traveling between Huntsville and the US, while I live just around the corner from our cottage and manage the many wonderful requests from people looking to book with us throughout the year. I grew up in Huntsville and moved back to my stomping grounds about 7 years ago. Huntsville happens to be one of those places that draws you back with a desire to raise your children here. I have two beautiful children who are very active in competitive sports and thus I am not always available to meet our guests when they arrive at different times throughout a week or weekend, but I try very hard to do so! Having grown up in Huntsville, I have lots of knowledge about the area and some of the fun things to do here, so please feel free to pick my brain!! I enjoy meeting and communicating with all of our guests and it's our goal to make sure your experience is as effortless, comfortable and relaxing as possible. We welcome any and all feedback because it's very important to us that we continue to ensure our guests leave feeling their experience was worth every ounce of their time and money spent enjoying quality time with their friends and family. Please feel free to contact us at any time with any questions you may have!!

What makes this Cottage unique

One of the wonderful things about our property is that it makes you feel as though you are in a remote area somewhere in Muskoka. The truth is however, that you are only a 10 minute walk into the heart of Huntsville where you can take an afternoon or evening stroll for dinner or a drink at the local pub. Our location on Fairy lake has quick access to the mouth of the river where you can take a quick boat ride into town or Vernon lake, or head the opposite way into Pen Lake or Lake of Bays. We are very central to everything.

I stayed for the weekend with a group of friends, and we all had an amazing time! We slept very comfortably, but even more importantly we were able to lounge around the cottage and eat, drink and talk to our heart's content. The view was beautiful with the fresh snow, however I would love to experience the cottage in warmer temps :) Would definitely return again. This place is great for families as well!

Amazing!

The cottage is beautifully situated on the lake. The place has everything for you to relax and have fun. The hosts are amazing!

Absolutely a beautiful spot! We ranged in age from 18 months to 68 years old and we all loved it!

The property was well maintained and had a variety of decks to enjoy! The playground was great for the kids. We all enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and the boathouse with the canoes and kayaks. The cottage was large enough so we did not feel on top of each other even though there were 10 of us. We will return!

Nice House, Great Decks, but ants are a problem.

The house is spacious and clean. The upstairs is great and the main floor has ample room to spread out with good kitchen space and lovely views. The house seems to have been renovated in several stages and the downstairs layout is a little odd. The "cubbie" bed in the basement is truly a bed in a space that is accessed by a hole in the wall. My kids found it a little creepy and didn't want to sleep downstairs.

My only real complaint was the presence of ants in the kitchen and basement. The are ant traps in throughout the house, so it must not be a new problem, and I imagine this is a common thing in lake country, but they were not insignificant and were quite bothersome. We could leave no food on the kitchen counter and had to put everything in the refrigerator as a result.

The outside decks are amazing and a wonderful way to enjoy the views. There are 2 canoes which are older but functional (one had a broken seat). The kayaks and paddleboard were fine. The lake is lovely in the early morning with a cool island that you can paddle to. No real beach access on the property though.

Overall, we liked the property and the decks in particular but were disappointed by the ant problem.

Amazing spot. Perfect for large groups.

The property wss beautiful. The various decks were amazing. Even the boathouse was lovely. There was lots of space for a large family and had everything we needed. The weather was amazing too.

You could walk or drive easily into town too. We had a wonderful time.

The property was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for more!

We rented this property for a small college reunion to celebrate life and our profession of 35 years. The peaceful setting, view of the lake and stunning cottage was top notch! Jeanette was wonderful to work with and answered all our concerns promptly.
