4 Season Cottage at Lake Vernon - Perfect for families!

Welcome to our 3 bedroom, 1 bath, pet friendly cottage that is perfect for family getaways. It's nestled in Muskoka’s picturesque scenery which provides incredible natural beauty during all 4 seasons. You'll enjoy having Lake Vernon water access down the quiet road at a large public dock, and peaceful large yard backing onto a forest, with quiet surroundings for your family/group to relax and enjoy.

The house welcomes 8 to sleep, so your family can spend quality time together. It's spotless - we keep it super clean all the time :)

The primary bedroom has a queen bed, the 2nd bedroom has a double bed, and the 3rd bedroom features a set of bunk beds, a day bed, and a trundle bed. Clean bedding, pillows and towels are supplied. Staying indoors? There are games, puzzles, 2 televisions and a firestick with Netflix/Disney streaming available as well as many DVDs for a variety of ages and interests.

The house is fully equipped with a newly renovated kitchen with quartz counter tops and all new appiances, perfect for your meal prep. The gas barbecue is just outisde the kitchen, on the deck with a table to seat 6. There's also a propane furnace and an electric fireplace for cooler weather. Our drinking water comes from a clean, fresh, drinkable drilled well.

The cottage is secluded enough for true peace and quiet while still being close to shopping and restaurants in Huntsville (approx 20 minute drive). Huntsville offers a quaint downtown strip with boutique/unique stores as well as all the major box stores. There are many restaurants, at every price point available to choose from.

Located close to Algonquin, Limberlost and Arrowhead Provincial Park, you can enjoy the ice trail for skating in winter, great hiking all year long, and go moose/wild life watching too!

Muskoka offers many craft breweries (Canvas, Muskoka Brewery, Lake of Bays, Sawdust City, Clear Lake) within an easy drive, and the Algonquin theatre for concerts and theatre adventures.

* warmer weather only features: a bunkie with electricity, canoe use and an outdoor covered bar with fridge. There are two decks, one with gas barbecue and dining table for 6, the other with muskoka chairs facing the large yard and Bunkie.

Each season comes decorated with festive/seasonal decor, including fresh cut wild flowers all summer long, pumpkins in the fall, and a decorated Christmas tree in December.

Welcome to your cozy, relaxing mini vacation get away location!

Pleasant stay at the cottage. Quiet neighborhood with access to the lake via close public access. Kids loved fishing of the dock. Weather did not cooperate, however, still very relaxing. Owners were very responsive.

GREAT COTTAGE!!
The booking, communication and check-in with the owners was easy and private. We arrived with directions and a door code. The cottage is clean and very practical, with everything you would stock in your own home. It was fantastic as a getaway for our anniversary, but would be a great place to come back to for a family vacation. (hopefully next year) Hot tub was a great way to relax.!! The Huntsville area has so much to offer for hikers, canoers, bird watchers, fishing , biking etc... The bakeries and restaurants are amazing as well. Thank-you Barb and Tom for a great getaway!

Best cottage we've ever stayed in
This was truly a beautiful cottage. Kitchen is exceptionally stocked with everything you need, not bits and parts as we've found at most rentals. Very clean and well maintained. Owners were quick to respond. Everything you need is right there at your fingertips. Highly recommend and would love to come back for a longer stay next time.

Second visit to the property included some upgrades with the kitchen appliances. We had an idea what to expect so there were no surprises with booking, communications with owner or arrival. The property is immaculate and cozy. There really isn’t anything the owners haven’t thought of to make your experience comfortable and relaxing. We are already discussing a booking for late August 2022 and would love to be able to spend a weekend in the fall if the opportunity presented itself. Honestly, as long as you are willing to make a very small walk to the dock opposite the cottage there isn’t a single thing I could complain about and would recommend this property to anyone. Absolutely enjoyed every second of our stay and can’t wait to return.

Fun getaway
This was our second stay at the cottage this summer. Different group of people same amount of fun. Found the second dock this time and went swimming and fishing. We caught a few small bass which was fun. The cottage is well equipped and very clean. Had some awesome campfires and when it rained we were able to stay outside at the bar and play darts.

Great family cottage
We had a great time at this cottage. The property is great and as expected. Location to beaches and provincial parks is about 15-25 mins away. Also only 20 minutes into town (Huntsville). If you have older kids the bunky is an added bonus! Everything you need to relax and have fun. A short walk to lane Vernon where there is public dock to use. Upon arriving the owner left a few goodies for our kids which they enjoyed! Thank you Barbara and Tom! We made great memories.

Awesome Place
The place is better than what you see in the pictures. Seven adults stayed with lots of room, never overcrowded. Rainy days spent at the outdoor bar playing darts. Hutcheson’s beach is just 20 minutes away and worth spending the day there. Cleanest cottage we have ever rented, would definitely go back. In fact we are going back in August and looking forward to it. Highly recommended!!!

Great Experience!
I enjoyed everything about the place, location was very nice being a short walk to the dock and the neighbours were very welcoming and friendly. Only complaint would be if you have back issues the single bed can be quite hard to sleep on being thin, but other than that the other beds were great! The owners had great communication and were really nice. I would definitely recommend this place.

Excellent and peaceful cottage
We would definitely return to this cottage after our happy stay after four glorious nights. The entire cottage was immaculate, yet cozy and very well-stocked. Barb and Tom are exceptional hosts: kind, very responsive and organized. With an abundance of snow, we didn't leave except to walk to the lake and toboggan everyday on the 'summer only' road. Had so much fun being outside for hours and then returning to the cottage for a soak in the hot tub or watching movies. Great nighttime fire at the outdoor fire pit to celebrate New Years. Area is quiet and not close to stores so be sure to bring in all you need in winter months.
