The space

First and foremost, this is a large cottage both indoors and out. You have 20 acres of exploration. Right on Lake Muskoka, I have yet to stay at a cottage with sandy and slow access to the lake. I cannot express enough, this cottage has everything your family requires during your stay.

Our bright red door is the perfect welcome. There you will access the smartlock for self check in. Immediately to your left, there is a powder room and mud room to leave your luggage and jackets before exploring the property.

From the big staircase you will walk into the open concept kitchen, and dining room lined with bright windows to lake views. From there you can go out onto the deck to see the large backyard, and slow sandy access to the water. There is lots of grassy areas to play and a big dock from the boathouse for cannon balls. We also have a brand new large BBQ for cooking.

Fabulous play structure for the kids with swings, a slide, a climbing wall and tire swing. The tucked away bunkie is equipped with a queen bed and ac. In the spring and fall, there are also heaters available for at night when sleeping.

Our massive cottage has three large bedrooms upstairs and a very large 4-piece bathroom. Our large jacuzzi tub has lake-views in case you were hoping to take a nice hot bubble bath after settling in. The primary and second bedroom both have breathtaking lake views as well.

The downstairs bedrooms are found in the bright basement with walk-out / immediate access to the backyard. The basement not being underground was designed with bright windows to allow for ample sunshine. The basement has a 3-piece bathroom. The french doors provide access the backyard and lake in case you wanted to jump into the lake before your evening slumber. Our piano is also located in the basement common area.

If you'd also like access to the bunkie (bedroom #6) for extra sleeping arrangements please do let us know. Please note at this time the bunkie has very limited heating. We do not recommend using it during the winter months.

There is laundry on site and you are welcome to use it during your stay. There are also lots of towels and beach towels in the laundry area.

There are extras in basement as well like a dog PDA, tools, and an air pump. If used, be sure to put everything back in it's place.

The water is drinkable and filtered. It's delicious in my opinion. The massive games room has two TVs, a ping pong and pool table. The record player has fantastic records to play and the heated floors come in handy in the winter.

Guest access

The address will be provided 24 hours prior to check in. A smart lock is on site and a code will be texted to you the day of check in. You have the whole property (all 20 acres) to yourself during your stay.

Other things to note

The pictures do not do this cottage justice. It is large and bright. Our dinning room table is huge and can accommodate large groups. It is also very private as there are no close neighbours other than across the lake.

Girls weekend
We get together yearly and have been doing so for 42 years. There are usually 12 of us. Years ago we shared double beds etc and brought blow up mattresses. As we get older we don’t really want to do that. It’s hard to find accommodation that provides individual beds. This cottage provided that challenge for us. That being said, we loved the dining room area, and the kitchen was workable- especially liked the double refrigerators. . We enjoyed the fire pit area even though we did not have a fire. It was sunny on Saturday and we enjoyed the deck. We found the basement area cold, and the lighting dim on the main floor. Surprised that there was not a larger living room space and/ or a fireplace. We found the glasswear very minimal so we actually purchased a dozen wine glasses and donated them to the cottage. Bunkie was comfortable. Overall we are a group that are fortunate enough to have access to cottages and lakeside living, but once a year we love to be together under the same roof in a space that can accommodate all. We may keep this cottage in mind for a return visit. I personally live in Huntsville so the distance for me was perfect!

Amazing Vacation
Our entire family loved this property. Location was 10/10 and the home was spacious and well laid out so we all felt comfortable - we were a large family group. Amenities were thoughtful so it felt like a hotel stay. Our property manager was super responsive.

Perfect Summer Vacation!
Our family had an absolutely amazing vacation at this cottage! It was the perfect getaway for ‎us, especially with our young kids. The property's expansive grounds offered a great space for the kids to ‎play and explore, and the playground was a huge bonus.‎ Without a doubt, the highlight of the property was the beautiful dock. It quickly became our favourite ‎spot to spend our days, and the kids had a blast playing on the lily pad. ‎ We can't praise Ashley enough; she was an incredible host. Her responsiveness and attentiveness ‎made us feel right at home, and she made sure all our needs were met during our stay.‎ The cottage was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. It was a welcomed relief ‎not having to worry about missing essentials.‎ Another major plus was the cottage's convenient proximity to everything. Whether it was grabbing ‎groceries or heading in to Bala or Port Carling, everything was just a short distance away.‎ Despite the shallow surroundings, renting a boat and having access to the boat house was another ‎amazing perk. All in all, our experience at this cottage was fantastic. It catered perfectly to our family's needs and ‎provided us with unforgettable memories. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a ‎summer retreat, and we can't wait to return for another memorable vacation! Thank you, Ashley for your hospitality and providing us with such a wonderful place!

Amazing house and location
I booked this lakehouse to enjoy with two other families, and we are all gushing about how perfect this choice was. The house was gorgeous and had everything we might need; plenty of clean fluffy towels, comfy beds, and all kinds of entertainment. We had kids of all ages, from 2-17 and everyone had a blast. The little ones hopped all day on the floaty water-mat on the lake, and the older kids kayaked and used the paddle board. In the evenings we all played pool and ping pong while the kids watched movies in the family room. Overall it was an super fun and memorable experience. We can’t wait to return again next summer!

My name is Pavlo, I love traveling and I know what level of comfort and customer focus is necessary for the guest. I am always happy to be helpful.

Why they chose this property

20 acres of privacy with your only neighbours across the lake. Lots of forestry surrounding this massive cottage. Sandy beach with access to a large dock off the boathouse. Another peninsula with a fire pit makes for amazing night time fires by the lake.

This property was designed for you, and any members of your family with limited accessibility. Slow and sandy access to the lake is the first and foremost most special thing about this cottage. Lake weeds are cleared in the spring which makes for fantastic swimming.

Docks don't always work when you have kids under the age of 5. The jungle gym is equipped with swings, a slide, and a tire swing. Supervision is made easy with all the windows and decks available from all corners of the cottage. Many little kid items are available for use, from toys, and books, to high chairs, and pack and plays.

The primary room has a large walk in closet in case you need to have your baby close to you, but far enough away so everyone sleeps soundly. The third bedroom has a trundle bed. The lower level bedrooms have very large above ground windows so the afternoon sun shines through.

What makes this property unique

- Lakeside cottage
- Slow access to lake (sandy beach area to play)
- Dock off the rear of our boathouse. In the winter the lake freezes over for skating or snowshoeing.
- 5 bedrooms and there is a bunkie available and equipped with a queen size bed
- Bunkie has ac in the summer months.
- The games room is off to the side of the cottage, so those who are resting are not disturbed by guests playing pool later into the evening.
- There are 3 smart TVs located throughout the cottage.
- The water is filtered and delicious
- The fire-pit is located lakeside making way for amazing evening / night time views.
- 20 acres allows for lots of privacy and the mature trees allows for exploring.
- Port Carling and all amenities are a 10 minute drive away.
- Everything you'll need for the kids.
