Real Muskoka for sure

Thanks for the real Muskoka experience Martin. It took me back to my childhood! Would be nice to add some portable fans for warmer days/nights and some face washcloths.

A very comfortable cottage

A clean n rustic cottage with a beautiful view of the lake. The beautiful lake looked different at different time of the day. Our host was not in the area, but he always returned his calls promptly, n was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Martin.

Awesome rustic cottage, perfect spot for a relaxing weekend.

Walked in the cottage and was pleasantly surprised - it's better than the pictures! Rustic but comfortable and clean. Having the kayaks and paddle boards was a plus, and siting on the dock was a highlight. Enjoyed a swim by visit from a muscrat? each night at dusk and woke to chipmunk visits on the deck in the morning. It was a great place for our family's celebration and we would definitely book again!

Clean cottage, great location!

Our stay at the cottage with a family of 6 adults and one infant was great! The cottage was clean, location was fantastic (between Bala and Port Carling) and the walk in sandy water was perfect for our young son! The paddle boards and kayaks were fun activities for nice days on the water! Our family enjoys doing lots of cooking and we found the kitchen supplies to be a little sparse which made it difficult to make some meals! Enjoyed our time and communication with host was quick and clear!
