Our Lake: DEER BAY IS NOT A SWIMMING LAKE, it is known for its great fishing, boating, and, any water sports activities (Kayaking, Canoeing, Paddle boards, paddle boats). The water is usually pretty warm, come the middle of July, there is a muddy bottom on our lake, so we recommend water shoes. We do our best to remove the weeds around the dock area, in front of the dock is perfect for swimming till about 15-20 feet out it does get weedy. Our past guests with smaller children have enjoyed this, as their kids were able to play near the dock area which is shallow and has a sandy bottom. We do recommend Sandy Beach (see our guidebook for info) which is a short drive from the cottage for optimal swimming conditions.
While staying at our quaint, board & baton classic designed Hideaway; sit back and relax on our spacious, private, wrap-around benched seating, 32.5' X 14' foot wide wood deck overlooking the glistening blue water of Deer Bay! There is a patio set that seats 6 as well as a few Muskoka chairs where you can enjoy a meal with family and friends. There is a Brand New propane BBQ, with all the tools you need to be a world-class grill master. We have a 36’ dock that has a 12’X12’ deck area that is sure to be great for fishing, swimming or just sitting around and relaxing (see photos). You're welcome to bring your own boat (please advise us at the time of booking) While enjoying your stay at our cottage, we do provide KAYAKS, Paddle Boat, Row Boat, and a few Life Jackets (we recommend bringing your own for a proper fit), if you choose to use them, use them responsibly! By using them, you're using them at your own risk, and we will not be liable for any personal injury, that may occur. You're also responsible for any damages that might occur to them while using them, which would be taken from your security deposit.
We also have a Motor for the Aluminum Row Boat Available which turns it into a great fishing boat, we can arrange to leave you instructions to access the motor, it is available at a weekly rate of $375 per week/long weekend (min 3 days), the payment has to go through the VRBO website, and we have to send you a liability waiver, if you're interested in this option, please send us a message.
After you’re done with your boat ride come on back and relax in our cozy hammock, enjoy a glass of wine, and try to spot some of the many hummingbirds that are constantly fluttering around. Enjoy a campfire at the in-ground fire pit at the water's edge, where you can toast marshmallows, sing songs & tell stories. Listen to the enchanting call of the loons! And if your timing is right, you may be able to watch the moon rise over Deer Bay, and be mesmerized by the moonlight shimmering and reflecting off the water. The property features several mature trees that offer a well-balanced mix of shade and open sunny areas.
We want to make sure that your stay is as enjoyable as possible, so we have a few friendly reminders to share with you. During high season, we have a strict check-in and check-out policy to ensure that our guests have ample time to enjoy the cottage. Check-in is after 4:00 pm and check-out is before 11:00 am. Please make sure to follow our policy as we have a short window to prepare for the next guests. As this is a rental cottage, we kindly ask that you bring your own sheets and towels (if you're coming from out of town, get in touch with us, we may be able to provide you with sheets and towels for an additional fee). But don't worry, we provide pillows, comforters, and blankets. Plus, we offer paper towels, Kleenex, toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner for your convenience.

The other is above the main entrance and is above the deck, it is there for Check in Purposes only, and goes off after you've arrived. If you have any questions about this, please get in touch.
