Modern Muskoka Retreat

Awesome thank you!!

An updated cottage with great views of the lake from the very large deck. Comfortable, clean and in a quiet location but only a short drive to shopping, etc. The host, Michael, is amiable and very quick to respond to any questions. There is a small beach with shallow water for supervised children. We enjoyed our stay!

Two stars overall because the lake is lovely and warm enough to swim comfortably. However it is close to the highway and you hear cars all the time. The front door lock is tricky, instructions for entering the house were not clear in the app.The place was filthy. Floors were dirty, fridge and cupboards were full of expired food and half empty condiments which we needed to dispose of. We also needed to clean up all the spills and food remnants in the cupboards before we could put our items in. Glassware/cooking pan situation is lacking. Had to go out and buy wine glasses. The blinds and ceiling fans were covered in a thick layer of dust. Sheets seemed clean but most were torn. We were only given a fitted and flat sheet on each bed, no blankets. We had to go to Walmart and purchase four comforters so that we could sleep comfortably. The bunkie is a sectioned off room in a dirty, cluttered garage that didn’t have working power. The only way to turn power to the room on and off was to use the junction box in the garage. There is no way that room is legally permitted. There was dirty underwear and a shirt hanging in the master bathroom when we arrived so I am fairly certain the bathrooms were not cleaned. There were multiple bottles of leftover soap and shampoo in both of the showers that we had to move.Nights were cool, not having AC was ok, first night was warm and it was uncomfortably hot.Wifi is dial-up speed and we had minimal cell signal. Would not book again.

Great cottage. Very responsive and kind host. Our family would recommend it to anyone!

Thank you immensely for hosting us. Our stay at Modern Muskoka Retreat was an absolute delight, and we cherished every moment. We stayed for 2 days and had excellent relaxing moment. Very cozy and beautiful views .New construction all appliances worked well . The toilet and shower were clean and newly constructed. The rooms are very clean and the beds extremely comfortable. Very relaxing stay my family loved the lakefront. Owner was nice and provided us right instructions . Kayaks and SUPS and other paddle things was free to use. Will visit this wonderful resort again.

We enjoyed our stay

Lovely place, great host

Spent a weekend away with friends . Great time everything was as seen on website . Internet was not consistent but we were fine without it . Weather was great so used the kayaks. Water access was amazing and if you have a boat the launch is just three cottages down . Can hear the highway by the water but inside was fine . We went Oct so not a lot of traffic from other cottages . Would have been nice to have the fireplace to take the dampness out of cottage as the Themos is set for 20°C so we were a little chilled in the evening . It was fine once stove was on and warmed it up so we didnt bother Michael about it . Sure he would have turned it up for us as he was very accommodating when we asked for early in , later out . Definitely recommend for a weekend away .

Michael responds very quickly and is helpful. The property is very nice and very well located to many things. The lake is clear and access is easy through the dock or the sandy beach. A little muddy to get to the sand part but very short so no big deal. There are 3 bedrooms in main building the 4 the bedroom is in the second building, all are air conditioned. The football table was a hit. The hose outside was very helpful for washing our dog. Overall a good stay.

Good location, modern unit while still having its own charm. Host was very responsive before and during the stay. Printouts of contact numbers and general information was useful.

Worth booking again in the future.

Enjoyed our vacation stay and the convenience to town. House cleaning prior to arrival was a bit lacking, and the house has a problem with chipmunks inside. Saw and heard them in the night. Under the bed, and in the walls. Found food left in cabinets that had been chewed on. Other than that, we had everything we needed, and had a great time. We loved quiet mornings paddle boarding on the lake.

Just what we needed! A friend get away to destress, unwind and breath. We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend this gem to anyone looking for a home away from home on the lake. Thanks you so much for a beautiful weekend.
