Waterfront on Lake Muskoka!

This is a charming cottage at the end of a beautiful and quiet bay on Lake Muskoka. The cottage has 3 bedrooms with an updated kitchen and bathroom. There is a very large deck that looks over the water. This deck is perfect for family meals. The large dock provides plenty of room for lounging and deep water swimming. The property also has a bunkie that can sleep 3. Paddleboards and kayaks are available. This is an excellent cottage for a family!

The sounds of nature are amazing. The loons and other wildlife can be clearly heard in the evening. While beautiful songbirds sing throughout the daytime!

Both Gravenhurst and Bala are about 10 minutes away. Gravenhurst has a lot of nice restaurants and recreation such as tennis courts and basketball courts. Bala also has a lot of dining options and seasonal attractions. Port Carling is a thriving seasonal town. Lake Muskoka and Lake Rousseau, meet in Port Carling.

There is a lot of attractions in the surrounding area. Bracebridge has Santa's Village. Santa's Village is an excellent theme park for young children. Muskoka Steamships offers amazing boat cruises throughout Lake Muskoka. They are located in the wharf in Gravenhurst. Also, there is many fantastic golf courses in the surrounding area.

Lake Muskoka is a quiet and beautiful place! Please note the municipal noise bylaw between the hours of 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM.

All guests who make a reservation will have to agree to a contract that ensures all guests follow Muskoka Lakes by-laws and house rules. This contract will secure your reservation. It is very important to us that our guests have a good time and our neighbours enjoy their properties.

Cute cottage
Owners were excellent to communicate with promptly. Would be better if linens were included in the rental. Not enough indoor dining chairs to accommodate the number of people advertised for. Great outdoor dining space if the weather allows. We had a cozy quiet little getaway which was great!

Cozy family cottage + dogs and great dock fishing!
Property is well maintained at the very inner part of the bay. Our dogs were welcome, dock fishing is premium and plenty of kayaks to explore the bay and lake. Was searching for pike and walleye but caught tons of smallmouth bass and some pretty big ones too! Would highly recommend this charming Muskoka getaway.

We had fun
Our primary reason for this visit was for my children and husband to fish. They had so much fun fishing and spent each day on the dock. The cottage was perfect for what we were looking for and the animals and nature was a perfect atmosphere for us, we even encountered two beavers that wanted to interact and play. It was so much fun and we made beautiful memories there. Thank you Tom for being such an amazing host.

Tom was lovely to work with as to the need we had for gathering spot for small family gathering. A bit smaller than expected inside but lots of outdoor space and decking area. Lovely spot at end of cove which allowed more privacy and great access to kayaks. Very nice accomodations.

I can’t say enough about this cottage, the location is so close to Bala, Gravenhurst, and great trails too. Tom was great at making sure I had all of the info needed to check in and be able to just relax and made sure I knew I could message him with any questions. 5 stars for sure!!

Weekend getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in a beautiful location. Tom was great with the check-in, providing plenty of information and answering all of our questions. The rooms are a little smaller than we thought from the pictures, but great for sleeping. Many hours were spent on the dock sipping a beverage, watching the wildlife, and touring the bay on the kayaks and paddleboard. Memorable weekend!

Our mini vacation
We were very blessed in that the weather was terrific. My developmentally delayed son age 55 and my best friend another Margaret stayed with me. I swam every day as did my dog Carson. We put the garbage in the bin at the end of the driveway as suggested, and separated the recyclables and left them in the two recycling containers as directed.. We cleaned and tidied before we left and believe we left the property as we found it. We would seriously look at returning another year.

Beautiful quiet spot in Muskoka
Nice cottage located in a quiet little bay of Muskoka. Tom was always quick to answer any questions we had. Bug spray, after bite, a bottle of wine, and a smores kit were waiting for us. Cottage had all you need for cooking and even condiments in the fridge . Lots of seating for large groups on the deck, and seating on the dock to enjoy the view. Parking would be a little snug if you had multiple cars but overall would definitely recommend this place to couples or families. We had a wonderful time.

Cute & Cozy Cottage on the water
The owners were easy to work with. They accommodated our every request. Everything was done remotely. The cottage is at the closed end of a calm narrow cove. There are three good-size bedrooms and a cute bunkee. All the necessities are supplied. There are many paddle boards and kayaks for use at no additional charge. The water is calm, with access to the larger Muskoka Lake. We had a great time. We highly recommend this cottage.
