For safety and maintenance purposes, storage and utility areas — including maintenance closets, the shed, under-deck storage, and utility room — are not accessible to guests. Watercraft Information – Ada Lake

Ada Lake is a peaceful inland lake, perfect for enjoying non-motorized activities such as kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding.

Please note that this property is not connected to the larger Muskoka lake system (including Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, or Lake Joseph). If you are planning to rent a motorboat or personal watercraft, please confirm with the rental company that it is suitable for Ada Lake before booking. Many rental boats are intended for the larger Muskoka lakes and cannot be launched or used here.

We recommend Ada Lake for guests looking to enjoy a quiet waterfront experience, fishing, paddling, swimming, and relaxing in nature.

I stayed here with 3 girlfriends and we had a great time! The cottage is beautiful and clean and right on the water. There are lots of places to walk and explore the outdoors. It was very easy to get in contact with the host and she was so kind and helpful.

The host was very welcoming and the cottage was exceptional. It was warm and welcoming and provided everything we needed to thoroughly enjoy ourselves. Loved that games were provided that we all could enjoy. Everything was clean and in working order. We loved sitting and watching the snow fall thru the big windows. We are very grateful that we had the opportunity to enjoy this cottage.

Our stay at Classic Muskoka Getaway was nothing short of perfect. The property was easy to get to, clean and had everything you could imagine to enjoy the beauty of the area. The host was a pleasure to converse with and easy to get a hold of. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy some home cooked meals, enjoy a coffee with a sunrise and bask in a refreshing dip in the lake. Without a doubt, a stay that will make you never want to leave. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

The cottage is beautiful and ideally situated. Checkout was frustrating (checkout time was earlier than expected and we were required to take garbage to the dump). Communication with the property manager was prompt and respectful. There were a few cobwebs here and there.

About the host

Hosted by Allison Uttley

Host profile image
My partner Rick and I love travelling and exploring new places around the world, but our favourite getaway is still a summer trip to the cottage. Muskoka lakes holds a special meaning to us, and we're excited to invite you to enjoy our family cottage.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage offers the perfect balance between peaceful relaxation and close proximity to all Muskoka Lakes has to offer. We’re located on a small, quiet lake with only 3 cottages on our side of the lake and 4 acres of protected forest in our backyard. But we're only a few minutes’ drive from Bala and Port Carling, and all the shops, restaurants and amenities you need for a comfortable stay. You may even spot a celebrity on your outings to town!

What makes this property unique

Over 300 feet of shoreline on a quiet lake, a lakeside firepit and hot tub, and a large deck made for entertaining!
