We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Serendipity. A beautiful red fox greeted us as we unloaded the car. Then down at the water a loon swam right in front of the dock. That evening as we were relaxing outside on the deck a friendly chipmunk named Theodore ate peanuts from our hands. This is clearly a place where humans and wildlife feel completely at home. The water around the dock is deep enough for swimming and docking a boat. There is a marina right around the corner for filling up with gas. We used plenty on beautiful lake Muskoka, fishing, sightseeing, and dragging the kids around on the big inflatable tube. The inside space is also wonderful. A beautiful kitchen for cooking, a large dining table, pool table, ping-pong table, and foosball. There was plenty of space where the whole family could be together, but there were also many small spaces to read or have a private conversation. The worst part about staying at a place this beautiful is having to leave at the end of the week. Still, I'm sure the memories made here will last a lifetime. Thank you Maryanne for a wonderful Muskoka holiday!

Maryanne’s place is absolutely wonderful. We had all the amenities needed for a cottage getaway. Communication with our hosts was excellent!

One word: impressive. Marryanne's cottage is a real jaw-dropper, inside and out. As an active and varied group of eight, including rambunctious kids, hard-to-please teens and parents looking for an escape from the big city, I don't think you'll find a more perfect get-away than this cottage. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more, blenders, toasters, espresso makers galore. Rooms were spacious. Kids loved the bunk beds. Downstairs in the basement is a lovely gaming get-away with foosball and billiards and ping pong and consoles and more ways to occupy yourself indoors than we could count. Outside, you're slapped in the face with an epic view of the lake situated waaaaay down numerous flight of steps. If you have elderly or members of the fam with breathing issues, the grandiose flight of stairs could present an issue. There's a lovely circular campfire area surrounded by rustic Muskoka chairs. Fire ban eliminated that for us, but I can imagine when its lifted that area would be tons of marshmallow-ing fun. Down further to the dock and you have access to a FLEET of floatation devices, from canoes to SUP to paddle boats to kayaks to a plethora of life vests in all sizes. The lake is, as you already know, the real show stopper here. Just dazzling.

Great location, clean, and amenities made this a wonderful week in cottage country. Even the chipmunks rolled out the red carpet for visitors :)
