Pets welcome upon approval.This 5 bedroom cedar cottage with a queen size pull out in the living room has WIFI throughout as well as TV DVD in all bedrooms. This family home has been upgraded with new Air-Conditioning, new furnace, new pump, additional cupboards in the kitchen for pantry storage, 2 refrigerators in the kitchen, newly renovated bathrooms and continuation of our lovely landscaping with gradual steps to the boathouse. We have added a housekeeper as well as property manager that can help you at any time.

This lovely property has short 6 steps leading you down from the parking area across an interlocking brick pathway to the Lake Muskoka Cottage entrance.

The lovely Lake Muskoka views begin right away and follow you throughout this 2 level cottage with bedrooms on both levels.

Unloading is a breeze as there is a large entrance way to hold belongings as you get ready to settle in.

The kitchen is handy right beside the front door. Here you will find all the necessary appliances -2 fridges, stove, dishwasher and microwave, even a washer and dryer tucked into large cupboards - for some that may mean out of sight, out of mind! The beautiful Italian stone flooring brings the idea of nature inside.

As you stand at the sink you will notice the huge picture window that looks out on the tall cedar trees and a large granite boulder - you are in Muskoka after all. A cedar lined wall compliments the lovely new pebble stone tile flooring.

The other direction from the front door leads you into the living room which has a cathedral ceiling and a lovely granite wood burning fireplace.

Atop the mantle sits a flat screen TV and DVD player. Comfortable couches and chairs make this room very cozy and inviting. There is a desk here as well in case you need to access the wireless internet.

Next you can't help but notice the gorgeous dining room and sitting room area that has a Lake Muskoka view in 3 different directions. The outer wall is all windows, most complete with screens to let in the lovely fresh Muskoka air. The dining table seats everyone comfortably, the sitting area has 3 couches and there is even a round table with 3 wickers chairs that beckons you for morning coffee.

The master bedroom with a queen sized bed and a 4 piece en suite bathroom is on this main level as well. A large window affords a Lake Muskoka view from the bed and small ceiling height windows above the bed allow the natural light to flow in.
A stairway from the living room leads up to the second level. These stairs are carpeted with the same carpeting that is throughout the cottage. This continuity is welcoming and very tasteful.

There are 4 bedrooms upstairs - 3 with queen sized beds and one with a single bed, as well as a double pull out. Once you are on the landing the open concept design allows you to look down on the living room and windows in the cathedral peak let in tons of natural light and a view that is straight up Lake Muskoka. The newly renovated bathroom on this level is a 3 piece with a shower.There is also a powder room with toilet and sink on the ground level.

There is plenty of closet space and windows giving lovely views of either the trees or the lake from each of these bedrooms.

There are 2 pull out sofas- one on each floor for extra sleeping arrangements ( queen size in living room and double size upstairs)

Let's head outside across the interlocking brick patio and get closer to the lake we have been seeing since we arrived.

Outdoor furniture on this patio makes a great spot to sit and watch the children play on a flat rock that leads us onto the dock of a brand new double boathouse. You can jump off the dock here into the lake where the depth at the end of the dock is about 5-6'. On top is a 31x26' deck - and a hot tub!

Additional patio furniture can be enjoyed here while you admire the delightful view of Lake Muskoka.

Also along the water front is another dock where you could tie up a boat if you chose to rent from the nearby marina. Swimming is possible from this dock as well as the two swim rafts. Enjoy the sunset from the boathouse deck and start planning for tomorrow - shall we take out the paddleboat or kayaks or canoe or stand up paddleboard (SUP) here at the cottage or head over for an historic ride on the Segwun Steamship, only a short 10 minute drive away.

This is a cottage where family memories are made.

    We had an amazing family vacation. The house had true cottage vibes with all the amenities our family of 9 needed. The outdoor spaces were absolutely fabulous. The sunset views on top of the boathouse and the great swimming just kept everyone happy. Check-in was seamless, Trista the property manager was in communication to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. I only found one negative and that was we did not book for a longer period. Look forward to booking again for next year.

    It was a beautiful property with warm water swimming right off the dock. We made excellent use of the canoe, kayaks and SUP. My grandsons even caught some fish! We also watched the meteor shower from the boathouse roof. Trista, the property manager was quick to respond to our every need. All in all, it was a memorable vacation stay. 10 out of 10.

    This was our 6th year of taking our kids and grandkids to a cottage. This cottage did not disappoint. Spent most of our week at the water. Between the dock and boathouse, we had beautiful views of Lake Muskoka. There was ample space at the docks and on the boathouse roof so all of us could enjoy our family week. Thank you for an amazing week!

    Wonderful experience for everyone in our family. Loved having the kayaks, paddle board, and area above the boat house was sublime. Wished the kitchen was just a little larger and that it wasn’t so difficult to deal with food waste in the sink, but otherwise loved every minute! Really appreciate the responsiveness to our questions.

    This property has a great deal to offer families. The outdoor spaces are incredible. The deck on top of the boathouse is the star of the show with a hot tub, huge table for meals, and plenty of reclined lounge chairs to enjoy the afternoon sun or a gorgeous sunset. If the sun is too hot for comfort there is a second large seating area below with another large table that is shaded most of the time. There is even a seating area just outside the door surrounding the propane grill. Although not featured in any of the pictures, this area turned out to be of great benefit to our group. The men would often sit here to enjoy a beer while cooking dinner on the barbecue, leaving the women to enjoy their own conversation indoors. Other reviewers mentioned that the abundance of furniture made the indoor space feel crowded. This was not a problem for our group of 8 adults and one small child. If anything we appreciated being able to gather all together for a movie or an indoor meal. The architecture of the house, with many non-right angles, seemed to dictate furniture placement to some degree. Even the stairs entered the living space at an angle. If there were people gathered in one area, you could always reverse direction and enter the kitchen from the opposite side. One thing I always appreciate in a week-long rental is an attention to decoration that promotes conversation relevant to the area. This place abounded in such opportunities. From the perfect scale models of actual historical Muskoka steamships, to the beautiful eagle statue, to the faces that personified the trees with an ancient, mystical character - there was always an opportunity for conversation, intrigue, or just quiet reflection. Being so close to Gravenhurst I was initially concerned that boat traffic would be a problem. It turns out that there is an island in front of the cottage that is perfectly placed to keep boats on the deep water side, leaving the water in front of the boathouse and dock safe for swimmers. Even on the days when high winds would have dissuaded all but the largest boats from the big water of Lake Muskoka, our little section of Muskoka bay remained reasonably calm and navigable. Donna was a marvelous host during our stay, always available to answer any questions we had. We all thoroughly enjoyed our week of Muskoka bliss! Thank you Donna!
