Nice stay for family, including pets
Nice, comfortable house. Well supplied with cookware, dinnerware, etc. It was extra special to have our 1-1/2 year old granddaughter and our pets with us. The former enjoyed the front shallow water and sand beach. Our Labrador liked the lake, but was surprised as it got deep quicker than our lake at home. Books and videos available. Beds and pillows are quite comfortable. Appreciated that the property is fully fenced. The dogs enjoyed the freedom.

The Most Wonderful Family Vacation Ever!
The location of this home is some of the most beautiful in Ontario, and homeowners Rod and Rachel were there to greet us as we drove in the gorgeous road leading up to the beautiful home. Rod gave us all a detailed tour of everything, both inside and outside, and made sure we knew to text if we had any questions at all. The home was beautifully laid out to accommodate our entire adult family, with lots of living space on each floor for living space and quiet time when needed. The home gym was a real hit, with early morning yoga sessions and later evening equipment workouts. There was an amazing selection of DVD movies and board games, and the movie lovers of the family got a lot of enjoyment out of this. The kitchen and pantry were extremely well equipped, with everything needed for cooking gourmet meals. We all love to cook, and enjoyed every minute of time in the kitchen and numerous eating spaces, both outside and inside. Prestine and very private outdoor grounds, with absolutely every activity you could dream of, including biking, volleyball, badminton, horseshoes, and of course all the water activities with kayaks, paddle boards, canoes and fishing. The outdoor fire pit was a beautiful gathering spot each evening, with the chance for good chats and catching up. This was definitely our best family vacation ever, and we can hardly wait to go back next year.

Perfect Summer Get Away
Goose Lake was the perfect summer get away for our family. The owners were extremely helpful leading up to our stay. Once we arrived we realized that they had literally thought of everything. All we needed to do was bring our clothes and food and everything else was already there. The house itself is cozy and well equipped. The lake is calm, the water pristine and the amenities are enough to keep you busy for days. The owners were already available by text or email and happy to provide suggestions for things to do around the area or where to go eat. I would definitely come back if the opportunity arose.

Goose Lake Retreat hosted by R&R
If you are looking for an amazing property for some R&R, hosted by very hands on customer satisfaction driven owners, Goose Lake, owned by Rod and Rachel is the place for you. Our family and friends rented this place for 9 nights starting July 24, 2021. The stay started with custom welcome package for the kids and adults complete with gifts for all the kids and wine and treats from local bakery Henriettas. Then Rod spent an hour of his time ensuring we knew where everything was and how everything worked. Any questions that we had were immediately answered throughout the stay. The property has ample space indoors and outdoors for everyone to be part of the group or find a quiet space to read. The group was excited to catch release some big pike and small mouth bass right off the dock. The variety of boats were a great hit with everyone. The house and pantry were stocked with basic necessities so that you didn't have to bring things like spices, coffee, baking supplies, etc. Some delicious homemade treats were prepared while there. The gym worked out very well for the fitness enthusiasts in the group. Lake of Bays is very close by and was very easy to book sea-doos, pontoon boat and bowrider with tube for a fun-filled day on a bigger lake. The weather was a bummer toward the end of the week but we made the most of it. Steaks, from the Dwight Market, were amazing and the chip truck, Din's, had the best fresh cut fries the group had ever tasted. Any groceries or anything else that you may need could be found at Robinson's General Store in Dorset. Spending quality time with teenage children is a blessing and everyone had a blast. Thank you very much for your hospitality and your desire to exceed customer's expectations!

About the host

Hosted by Roderick & Rachael

Host profile image
We are a professional couple from Toronto. Our time at the lake is spent enjoying nature, outdoor sports, reading, painting, fishing and just spending quiet time together.
On the occasions that our rather large extended family gets together, Goose Lake Lodge is the perfect venue for multiple families to enjoy together, while still maintaining a degree of personal space.

Why they chose this property

We had always dreamed of having our own private lake.
The peace and tranquility we found at this property (we call Goose Lake Lodge) is heaven. We also fell in love with the history of this property. It had been owned by the same family since the 1800's and was a commercial saw mill up until the mid 1900's. The barn that is still on the property was built in the early 1900's as a workshop of the sawmill and serves as our current day workshop.

What makes this property unique

The unique advantage of being only minutes away from shopping & tourist destinations while still being surrounded by nature and enjoying the incredible privacy of your own lake.
