Cute four-season cottage with sandy beach on Lake Muskoka

Welcome to the perfect and affordable small family vacation getaway on ever popular Lake Muskoka! This 800 sq. ft., 3 bedroom cottage is cute and as clean as a whistle with all the comfort conveniences of home.

The cozy living room has beautiful lake views and a gas fireplace for cooler evenings and a ceiling fan to make for more comfortable nights on humid summer evenings. The well-equipped kitchen has lake views as well making it enjoyable while prepping and making meals. Although there are seating areas inside for snacking or dining, the place of choice on beautiful summer days will be the deck overlooking the expansive lawn and lake. The cottage is equipped with a whole house water filtration system! Offering clean water for you to enjoy on the hot summer days! The hot water tank is 15 gallons which is normally good for about two showers, then may require 20 - 30 minutes to replenish.

The front or back lawn are great for the kids to play catch or throw a frisbee and the 25 feet of hard packed sand at the waterfront is ideal for young and old alike to safely splash and play. There are rocks marked by a green buoy in front of the property that can easily be swam out to and explored with a snorkel. You can stand on these rocks and the water will come up to your hips. With the property facing south enjoy plenty of sunshine from late morning to sunset.

The property is located in one of the most sought after parts of Lake Muskoka, directly between the towns of Port Carling and Bala. St. Anne’s Catholic Church is a heritage building only two properties away where there is also a municipal dock, an excellent place to view sunsets! Boat parking is provided overnight at the adjacent boat house, with daytime parking available at the municipal dock, or right on your beach!

The country road in front of the cottage is great for scenic afternoon walks or runs and for nature lovers keep your eye out for deer and blue herons, commonly sited weekly. Finally, for avid boaters, you can tour “The Big Three” (Lake Muskoka, Lake Joseph and Lake Rosseau). With it's central location, you can easily access Bala, Port Carling, Bracebridge, or Gravenhurst by lake!

The lake also hosts frequent fishing derbies so needless to say keen fishermen won’t be disappointed. The rich cottage history of vacationing on this famous lake is sure to please the whole family!

Additional:
Up to six guests may be allowed upon approval from owner prior to booking.
Small non-shedding pets may be allowed upon approval from owner prior to booking.
Wood for firepit is not supplied by owner. Guests may purchase firewood at a number of locations locally if they wish to use the firepit during their stay - subject to local fire restrictions.

Clean cottage. Bathroom needs upgrading. There was a portable air conditioning unit which placed some water in the hallway. Shoreline pictures showed a nice large dock, however it was not part of the property listing. That is very misleading.

We had a 3 night mini vacation, enjoyed it very much. Love all the amenities included-it was nice not to have to bring sheets, towels, bottled water etc. There's even a Keurig for that much needed coffee! The view is amazing, and the road is fairly quiet for my walks. Would definitely stay here again!!

Amazing getaway!
Our 5 day stay at this cottage was amazing! Communication with the owner was great, even when the internet went down for a day due to lightning - we were kept up to date. The water was clear and great for swimming! And the kitchen was fully stocked. All in all, a memorable vacation. Would book again!

We had such a great time during our stay here. The kids had such a blast fishing, swimming and just enjoying nature!! What a view!!! Steve was a great help during the booking and check in process. The road was a bit busy while we were there but the wonderful neighbour did warn us and it actually didn't bother us at all! Loved our stay! 🙂

Awesome getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at this property, and hope to return in warmer weather. Cottage is well equipped, clean and location is perfect. We visited over march break and spent most of our time out for walks, trying ice fishing (no luck but still fun), relaxing by the firepit, or using the old school dvd collection. Great neighbours and area. Thank you!

Great place to relax
We rented this property just prior to Christmas. The cottage and property are just as described in the posting. Steve was very responsive to all of our questions. We had a power outage our first night there and Steve arranged for the neighbour to get us up and running with a generator. That was so very helpful. The cottage could use some updating but it was clean and cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is about halfway between Bala and Port Carling which makes it very convenient for picking up groceries and supplies and would be great for shopping when you aren’t in the middle of a pandemic.

Lovely peaceful autumn visit to cottage country
This cottage was located on a quiet leafy street on Lake Muskoka. The cottage was exactly as described…rustic but very comfortable and well-appointed. Steve, the owner, was extremely responsive to our questions and touched base with us at the beginning of our state to ensure everything was OK. Recommend.

Everything you need
Everything we needed was there, including firewood. It is unfortunate that the property is divided by a road. Cars were driving over the speed limit all day long. I resorted to placing the muskoka chairs along the road and this slowed some of the cars down. Don’t expect peace and quiet. There were chainsaws (sometimes starting before 8am), trucks delivering lumber, lawnmowers, and non stop motorboats. Didn’t hear or see one loon. But the beds were comfortable and it was peaceful at night.

Wonderful few days away from the city!
This is a beautiful property, with wonderful view of the lake, in a quiet area of Muskoka. We travelled with our 20-something kids - 6 of us in total. The house is well-equipped - nothing fancy, but everything we needed. Mattresses were comfortable, and we could see the lake even from inside, sitting in living area. We ate all our dinners on the deck, also facing the huge front green area, and the lake below - easy access to the kitchen, and lots of room. outside We would happily have stayed much longer! Steve was an amazing communicator, both before and during our stay- his quick, friendly and informative responses were fantastic.
