The Lakehouse's main floor:

The heart of The Good Fox, the main floor naturally acts as the gathering point for family and friends to refuel and recharge between days on the dock and dips in Fox Lake. There are two spacious bedrooms plus a sleeping loft on the main floor. The primary bedroom offers a Queen size bed, premium bedding, 3 piece ensuite bathroom, large windows with southwest views of the lake, and sliding door with walk out access to the balcony that runs the length of the cottage. The second bedroom has a Queen size bed, premium bedding, ample storage for your best cottage looks, and some seriously serene views of the trees and Trilliums lining the property. The second bathroom on the main floor offers a large vanity with storage, and a tub and shower combo.

The main floor offers a large open concept living room with a wood burning fireplace, Samsung Frame TV complete with all your rainy day entertainment needs, vaulted ceilings, and large southwest facing windows. The dining room will comfortably seat eight and gets lots of natural light. The bright white kitchen offers breakfast bar seating for three plus room for a highchair (included), premium stainless steel appliances, and is very well stocked with all the equipment you will need to flex those culinary muscles and serve up some delicious meals. Walkout access to the deck with Napoleon BBQ and direct propane line so you never have to worry about filling up propane tanks. The deck has a large patio table that seats ten, connects to the balcony that runs the length of the cottage, and breathtaking views of Fox Lake and it's pink hued sky from the lounge chairs with coffee in hand. Coffee, did we mention The Good Fox runs on coffee Coffee connoisseurs from advanced to novice will love the home brewing options that suit whatever your preference. Our personal fav is the Moccamaster in the kitchen (so much easier to use than it looks) but very honorable mention goes to the Breville espresso machine in The Cabin and the 'Steady Eddy' Keurig in the appliance storage cabinet for when that coffee needs to come yesterday.

The Lakehouse's walk out level:

There are two pretty stunning bedrooms on the walk out level. One bedroom has a King size bed, premium bedding, electric fireplace, plus a dedicated crib . The second bedroom has a Queen size bed, premium bedding, sizable closet, sweet views of the lake, and walk out access to the sun deck. The walk out level packs in a ton of fun and offers a rec room with a large sectional sofa, gas fireplace, Samsung Frame TV and entertainment apps, pool table with ping pong table conversion, a bar nook stocked with all the tools to mix up your favourite cocktail - BYOB. Kiddos and parents rejoice at the sight of a whole cupboard dedicated to keeping little ones busy (when there not busy exploring the outdoors) with books, toys, and games to keep them entertained.

The Grounds:

The Good Fox Lakehouse and Cabin are situated on 1.26 acres and enjoys lush and private grounds. With 200 feet of southwest facing shoreline, you will have lots of space and sun to enjoy the waterfront, the large multi-tiered dock, and lakeside patio. The dock offers six Muskoka chairs in bright and sunny yellow. These yellow chairs allow for some quintessential lakeside lounging and really pop against the Muskoka backdrop in memories you capture down at the dock. The watercraft rack is conveniently located near the water and is equipped with two stand up paddle boards, seven kayaks (six adult size and one youth size), and a broad assortment of floaties and tubes. Life jackets for toddlers to adults are provided in various sizes and stored for easy access in the garage. Enjoy a soak in the hot tub under the gazebo and bistro twinkle lights in any season. The bonfire area, set on Muskoka stone, has six large Muskoka chairs in matte black and is a great spot for s'mores! Two open grassy greenspaces are the perfect spot for afternoon lawn games (Bocce, washers, ladder ball, and cornhole sets all available), to toss a ball around, picnic, or catch some midday sun. The screened in Muskoka Room offers lots of comfortable seating, a cool and shaded reprieve, or a getaway from nighttime mosquitos. The porch running the length of the cottage is the perfect spot to lounge around and pass a Muskoka afternoon.

*Please note: the watercraft and dock won't be available from November-May. Based on snow and ice conditions, there may be restricted/limited access to the waterfront.

We have a gardening/lawn/snow maintenance crew that could arrive at some point during your stay to quickly and diligently work on the grounds to keep it looking great while you enjoy your time at The Good Fox.
