We would liked to have stayed 2 weeks but sadly we had only 1 in this lovely spot. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The lake is a smaller one and kayaking during early morning, or after dinner when the water’s surface is a mirrored reflection of the lush surroundings, is a soothing exercise in meditation. We spent most of our time on the dock in the Muskoka chairs or in the water swimming and floating the day away. The climb from the water to the cottage is a challenge, but the intermittent landings are a perfect spot to catch your breath. We enjoyed early morning coffee on the deck overlooking the lake and it is the routine I will miss the most, I think. One tip for others would be to travel to and from the cottage using W. Gate Rd off of Hwy 7. Do not approach through Arden unless you like an adventure, as the road conditions (in 7/2023) along that approach are “challenging”.
