🏡Waterfront Cottage retreat– 1 hour from Toronto⭐

Charming cottage furnished to a great standard. Our home can make for a perfect lakeside retreat. Offering the privacy you need, a wonderful cozy design and a close location to Toronto. Surround yourself in an earthy environment. Settle in by zoning out. We believe it’s the ultimate location to experience Lake Scugog the way it should be. Guaranteed enjoyment and relaxation.

-Only 1 hour from Toronto
-6 bedrooms and 12 beds
-Big deck to have a BBQ and lounge
-On 1 acre of land, lots of privacy

----------------------------------------------------------

*****This is a FAMILY oriented cottage. There are NO parties allowed and NO loud noises outside after 11pm. We need to respect the neighbors. Failure to do so will result in eviction of the property with NO refund and possibly the police being called to the property*****



Because we live in Canada, and this is a water front property, the weather affects the landscape a lot. With that said, The dock is usually OFF from September to May (when its warm enough to get in the water). The water levels are always changing so do keep this in mind if you want to dock your boat.. If the tide is low, then you can dock your boat at the local marina 15 minutes away.

The property landscape is always changing. Please keep this in mind if there are some differences from how you see it and in the pictures.

Please drive slow when you get on Morris Lane. It's a one lane road with many dogs.
Upon arrival, our neighbor has a white boxer dog. Dont worry as she is more scared of you than you would ever be. As soon as you approach her she will RUN! SO do not worry.

There is an extra $50 PER DOG charge. This is so the maids does a more thorough job cleaning the dog fur. Guests caught bringing their pets in without paying this will be charged $150 PER DOG as the maid will need to schedule her time last minute. Urine stains or any other damages to the property by the dog will be charged back to the guests. ABSOLUTELY NO PETS ON THE BEDS OR SOFA.

The neighbors WILL call the police if you make too much noise after 10. Please keep the noise indoors.

If you had taken any nice photographs, feel free to share it with me. I am willing to pay you $15 per photo if i like it so i can post it on my listing :)

Bedroom 6 is the cabin outside. It has 2 bunk beds (4 single beds). It has electricity and a portable heater.

NEWLY installed water treatment system.. the water is tested to be safe to drink.

- Feel free to use the barbecue outside that is set up for our super guests’ leisure use only. The BBQ is to be used by the guests who stay at the home and is not to invite others to the home as it will be considered as hosting a party. Please clean up after yourselves and keep the grill clean. If found left dirty and requires extra cleaning, an extra cleaning fee of $50 will be charged.
- You will need to add your own gas to the BBQ as it is not supplied. There are two propane tanks provided which may or may not have gas from the previous guests. You can get them refilled 7 minutes away from the property.
- Please acknowledge that from occasionally, we may leave consumables such as condiments or snacks left behind by previous guests if they are not empty. We try our very best to ensure that it is not expired or stale. HOWEVER, ultimately, it is up to the guests' discretion and inspection to consume these items if they wish. The host does not take any responsibility for the consumables.
- Please do not rearrange our furniture.
-Indoor fireplace is NOT to be used by guests. Our insurance provider does not insure this :(
- If you would like to host an event (i.e. wedding, graduation, not party), please speak with us about it first.
- You will need to clean up after yourselves. That includes the BBQ grill, dishes, oven, toaster, microwave, fridge, coffee machine etc. Treat my home like yours!
- If guests are found to have had a party without host permission which results in extra cleaning, guests will be responsible for extra cleaning charges and in the unfortunate event of the disruptions alerting neighbors, GUESTS WILL BE ASKED TO VACATE THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY with NO refunds and a $1000 charge for hosting parties.
- If guests are suspected of carrying and/or using illegal drugs of any kind, the authorities will be engaged, and GUESTS WILL BE ASKED TO VACATE THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY.
- For the safety of the guests and the property, there are cameras outside of the cottage on 247 recording and only pointed outside of the cottage towards the deck, front porch, and the other 2 sides outside.
-There are noise detectors installed inside and outside of the property (they do not record anything). If we are notified of excessive noise, or get a complaint from the neighbors, you will either be charged $200 per incident or be asked to leave.
- Lastly, because this is an Airbnb community not a hotel, and is also my home, please be respectful of the property and keep it clean before you leave. (Respect our property and our things)

There is town wide fire ban in the month of April and possibly a few weeks before or after April. Please ask us if using the campfire is a must for you. Doing a campfire during the fire ban would cause the firemen to goto the property, put out the fire, and fine $1,000. The $1,000 fine would then be charged to the guests that caused that.

DO NOT throw your cigarette butts anywhere. There is a black ashtray outside on the deck beside the dining table. If there are cigarette butts left on the deck or floor, a $10 charge PER cigarette butt would be charged to the guests.

If you have read it this far, THANK YOU for being a SUPER GUEST! Please reply back with my favorite quote: "EXPECT NOTHING, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING." so that I know that the house rules have been reviewed :)

*NOTE* bedroom 6 is the cabin outside.

Family friendly retreat
Morris Lane was the perfect place to enjoy a few days with extended family. There were plenty of comfortable beds, the open concept living space was great for spending time together, and the layout accommodated all of our meals and activities. The host was easy to communicate with and provided all of the information we needed. The facilities were clean and well equipped.

Family Fun at the Cottage
This was our first year renting a cottage together as a Family, and we are doing it a gain next year. Tommy's cottage was perfect, enough room for everyone to sleep, spread out and do their own thing, and didn't feel on top of one another on the day it rained. It's absolutely beautiful here.

Winter retreat
My family had a great time staying here. The rooms upstairs are comfortable and have amazing views of the frozen lake. We were able to skate on the lake as well. We enjoyed the fire pit every night. The kitchen is small but well equipped. Nice cozy living area for a family to enjoy. The small road to the house wasn’t plowed or salted, which made it a very treacherous feat to walk anywhere around, but Tommy left salt we could use for the areas around the cottage.

Had a great time
We enjoyed our stay at Tommy’s. It’s a nice spacious cabin that is very comfortable. We hope to come back in the summer as it’s so close to the city but you certainly feel like you are at the lake.

Beautiful cottage only 1 hour from Toronto. Home away from Home
Tommy is a great host. His property looks amazing and it was better than I expected. Huge parking lot, very clean and spacious rooms. The house has a great view of the Lake, especially sunrise and sunset - You dont want to miss it! Communication wise, Tommy is amazing. You send him a message and he will reply in no time. He answered our concerns and we didn't feel like we were alone. Activities, I love fishing and his place a good place, kayak and canoe are also available. I highly recommend it for anyone, especially summer - winter is fine as well. Thanks Tommy!

Open concept layout. Beautiful sunset. Absolutely stunning view. Everything you need
Tommy’s was a nice time place to get together with a number of people. The common space is large and we all really enjoyed having big meals together and having the room to play games when the weather wasn’t great. The deck and view are amazing. If you’re looking for a place to swim, this isn’t the best place but to just hangout and relax it’s great. The bedrooms and washrooms were well kept and clean.

Amazing cottage to stay for a weekend
Our experience in Tommy's place was great, the house is really nice, the view is amazing. However the garden needed some cleaning (cigarette butts, beer cans, plastic cups and even a broken glass...). Tommy told me that he's getting the cottage ready for summer time, I bet it will be neat for next occupants.
