Lake Muskoka Cottage with Sandy Beach

Place was clean, well equipped with lots of room. Clean water, heat and more. Owner was always available if we had any questions. Neighbour was nice and helpful too. Everything is located nearby within minutes like gas and groceries. We even made an Amazon online order and it was delivered to the cottage with no issues. Fishing wasn’t the best, but others validated that the year wasn’t the greatest. If you need to get away from it all. It’s fairly quiet. Note that there are a lot of rules for the area. All are conveniently listed in a book at the cottage along with info on the area and things to do. If you’re going to the area for fishing you may or may not get skunked. If you’re getting away from it all with family or on a work trip this would be up anyone’s alley.

We had such an amazing time staying at Steve’s cottage! The property is beautiful, perfectly maintained and such a convenient location. The cottage has everything you could need for a relaxing getaway!

The cottage is in a good location, just 13 min away from Port Carling town. It was very clean, we had a great time and I would come back 100%.

We had such an amazing time at Steve's cottage. The cottage was well appointed, full kitchen, clean and warm bedding, fluffy towels. The views of the lake were amazing. The neighbourhood and surrounding forest were fantastic for after dinner walks. Visiting during the winter, we had the great fortune to experience the beautiful Muskoka woods, snow dusted pine trees, straight out of a storybook. We will definitely recommend this cottage to friends and family! Thank you for such a wonderful family holiday!

Our host set up the property perfectly for our winter retreat. We had access to the patio, bbq and fire pit. The view is amazing! Nice cozy cottage.

Lovely cottage and property with water view…enjoy afternoon sun on the dock or paddle and swim in the clear sandy water. Ideal for kids..Spacious and clean, big beds, close to Bala for shops and Cranberry Festival. Will return again!

Stayed August 2025 with family of four. We found other reviews to be largely accurate. Cottage was clean, comfy, well stocked (except we never did find an ice cream scoop lol). BBQ worked, lots of activities indoors and outside, good sitting areas, great location albeit on a busy lake.It's a stretch to say it has AC. There's a portable unit in the back hall with maybe a five/six foot hose. It didn't reach let alone cool the south-facing main area. It's probably fine most times of year but something to consider if you happen to be there during a heat dome like we were.Only other quibble is that we had to drive our garbage/recycling to transfer station on our last day per guest book. I don't recall seeing that in the ad. Suggest a lockable bin/shed on site for property manager to deal with instead of guests.Steve was a good host. Friendly, responsive and communicative. Check in instructions were clear, no issues with lockbox. Him and the neighbour Sharon gave helpful suggestions for activities in the area which was a nice touch.Waterski show and Splash Island in Bala were highlights. There's also a quaint RC church next door with its own dock. Good beginner spot for rock bass (prayers for something bigger as yet unanswered).Our family had a great time overall and we would expect yours to as well.

We had a great time staying here! The property was just as pictured and beautiful. Steve was great and super helpful. We even saw 3 deer on the adjacent property one evening. We really enjoyed our stay!

Clean quiet and close to water

My friend and I had the most relaxing and peaceful time at this gem of a cottage. Had everything we needed to have a quiet down time away from our family!

Amazing view. Host gave excellent info on check in and out. Also provided instructions on heat, fireplace and kitchen stove. Sharon, next door contact person, was very helpful and friendly.

Great location feet from the lake. Cant wait to go back next June

A clean property, fantastic location.

From the beginning the host Stephen was completely amazing. We have such a nice comfortable stay and this cottage!!!
