Large level lot features large granite patio area with four lounge chairs and umbrella, grassy area to play games, as well as firepit. A short set of steps leads down to the waterfront to the large dock with Muskoka chairs and umbrella. Plenty of space to moor your boat if you choose or use one of the two kayaks or the pedal boat to get out on the water.

Lovely cottage
The cottage is lovely and very well equipped. The lake is perfect for swimming off the dock or enjoying a kayak ride. It is conveniently located making a run into town easy. The owners are super nice and helpful which just makes it all even better.

Cottage and location was perfect for a family vacation, from the moment we arrived it felt like home. Cottage is extremely well maintained/clean and stocked with everything you may need and more, owners quick to respond with any questions/concerns. A unanimous decision by everyone that would welcome the opportunity to stay again for further Muskoka memories to be made.

Beautiful Muskoka Cottage
The cottage is really lovely and the property is well kept and spacious with lots of different places to play and relax. The dock is big enough to gather on, enjoy the morning sun, watch the skies change over the lake or dive into the water that is deep and clear. To quote Mary Poppins it is “practically perfect in every way”.
