About this cottage rental

Cottage is toasty warm with furnace and wood burning stove. Many activities in the area: skating on the lake or in town, snowshoeing almost anywhere, cross country skiing on groomed trails nearby, downhill skiing in Huntsville or Barrie. Well ploughed roads. A winter wonderland!

This beautiful vacation getaway captures the essence of Muskoka. It features a beautiful cottage with an amazing view of the lake and easy water access on a private wooded property with 150 feet of water frontage. Perfect for swimming, boating, and relaxing with family!

The cottage provides spectacular panoramic south-west views of the lake. Its an open concept design with high, vaulted, cedar ceilings, pine walls and huge windows overlooking the dock and lake. The fully equipped kitchen is open to the dining area and includes a dishwasher, large fridge, microwave, coffee-maker and drinking-water dispenser. An air-tight woodstove is in the corner of the sitting area and is delightful on cooler evenings.

The beautiful master bedroom overlooks the lake and has a walkout to a private deck. It has a sitting area and an ensuite with soaker tub and shower. The second bedroom on the main level also has a walkout to a private deck and the third bedroom on the main floor has twin beds perfect for the kids. The fourth bedroom has bunk beds and is on the lower level adjacent to a family room with a walkout to the water and a full bathroom complete with laundry.

There is a very large deck overlooking the lake complete with patio set for family meals and a propane BBQ. Off the deck is a large fully screened in Muskoka room with a patio set and table, perfect for family meals or relaxing with friends or a good book.

Another highlight of this property is the variety of indoor and outdoor places people may choose to go, for example, to be with groups of friends, or to enjoy quieter conversations and activities such as playing cards, or to spend time alone quietly working on a puzzle. Deck chairs are provided on the cottage deck and the dock by the water for relaxing or a nap in the sun.

The swimming is fantastic! The lake is deep right from the dock and shallow from the separate flat walk in area. The fishing is also great - you just have to find the secret places...

Note that some of the furniture in the pictures has been replaced.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in every way and will try to rent it again next summer. The only problem we had was with VRBO. I had been looking on a Site "Ontario Cottage Rentals" VRBO seeing that, came to me. After I had chosen this cottage on the VRBO site I was shocked to find out the price was in US $s when I rec'd my MC statement. You need to indicate what currency you are dealing in. I would naturally assume that the price was in Canadian! I won't use VRBO again because of this.

The cottage was beautiful and very clean not to mention Martin answered any questions I had almost immediately after I texted him. The water/ view was amazing and we loved the canoe that came with it. Only issue was the fire pit had no seating and the cottage doesn’t come with sheets or towels other than that 10/10 would recommend!

This place gave the perfect cottage feel with the lakefront and the deck. Martin is super responsive to any questions you may have, which is great! The reason for not giving a perfect 5 star overall rating is only because there was a small issue with the water supply although Martin was quick to resolve it. Overall, we really enjoyed staying here.

Only concerns were no kettle , no tv for grandkids , no curtains in master bedroom so up every morning at sunrise. Nice having 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Everything else was great. Would recommend this property. Likely try to rent next year.

Amazingly charming property with a real cottage feel. The deck is massive and hangs over Muldrew Lake. The open concept kitchen and living room was great for hanging out in with the wood stove burning. Wifi was fast, property was clean, and Martin was attentive to our needs when I messaged him. Great property for a family getaway of with a group of couples. Will definitely book this again.

The kitchen was large and stocked. Great for a large amount of people. It's big. Three bathrooms are nice. I loved that the fireplace was set up to easily use. The view is nice. And quiet in the winter. It's pretty run down, but would be very good for a large group of people who are there to join together and cook and socialize. The wifi was fine after we reset it. I arrived from Vancouver, and some of my family from Michigan and Toronto. Bringing sheets and towels was a chore. I was excited to see the Cottage as the pictures showed, but most of the knick knacks and books shelves (comfort decorations) have been removed. There were beds, and a picture in each room. Very little cozy decor as shown in the photo's. There were no curtains in the main suite I was putting my Aunt and Uncle in, which was a concern. The lower level was musty and hard to bear. Communication was infrequent with the owner. I booked after Christmas and paid $1850 for three nights. I Paid more and felt like i got less. I had to enter through a kitchen window because I received no response to a request for check-in instructions until after the check in window had lapsed. (There was an unlocked window off the deck with the screen out which seemed to be the exit and entrance of more then just myself). The bedding was old, there was dog hair sticking out of the wood floor by the couch. The main bedroom bathroom shower door was broken with a note on how to use it otherwise.
