A unique experience. Wonderful views, sunrise, sunset. Lovely accommodation it felt comfortable and like home almost immediately. Be prepared for the 35+ steps, in stages, down to the boathouse.

The boathouse and Skeleton Lake exceeded all of our expectations. We've stayed on lake Muskoka and lake Rosseau several times before but this neither of them compare to this experience. The home was clean and well appointed, the location is pristine, and we never wanted to come out of that water! Thanks Lorrie and our hosts for a wonderful, personalized, week. It was just what we needed.

Beautiful place on a beautiful lake. Maybe the best Muskoka rental we’ve had. The only issues were the very steep and rough lane into the cottage and the many, many steps from parking down to the boathouse. Carrying heavy coolers and suitcases down and then back up was a hell of a workout!

My husband and I stayed for our honeymoon and it was perfect. The boathouse was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect with it being right on the water and near enough to a few towns to go sightseeing. The property manager was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. We will absolutely be back next year for our one year anniversary.

It was the perfect get away for our small family. Lots of swimming, fishing and relaxing. The lake is clear and beautiful. The views are breathtaking. We kept the windows open so we could enjoy the sound of the waves while in the boathouse, it was wonderful. The boathouse is beautiful with quality furniture and is very clean and well kept. My advise is to pack light, the stairs down to the boathouse and then up to the entrance are a workout. Lorrie was wonderful to work with, she was well organized and very helpful.
