About this cottage rental
Property is licenced with the Township of Lake of Bays STR-2026-3
Note: Our cottage is one we actively use on the weekends, so expect it to have a lived-in feel (versus 'property-managed'). That said, we keep it clean and tidy and expect you to do the same :)
You sip a morning java in the cozy grip of an oversized Muskoka Chair, and stare out across the glassy tranquil of Camp Lake. The mist dissipates as the sun labours its slow ascent to blue skies above, and slowly warms the morning air. The silence of the moment is interrupted, just briefly, as an eager trout leaps from the water and ushers in the dawn of a new day. Or was it a Bass? It quickly darts towards the deep, rocky shore, past the dock, and dives deep into the clearness of the loch.
It's likely that you waded through this same watery path just the night before, indulging in a midnight swim, accompanied solely by a full moon, and the awesome beauty of the Northern Lights that twinkled high in the night sky like a rippling blanket of silver and blue satin. Had it not been for these luminescent companions, you may have struggled to climb through the darkness, up the winding steps, back to the cottage and the warm glow of the campfire; the songs, rising with the sparks and fireflies, into the glistening night sky.
This morning, those same steps lead you back. Back from the dock, which overlooks the diving raft and the reflection of the azure sky in the lake? Up past the lower deck, where a rouged canoe sits restfully against a towering Hemlock. It winds up the steps to the two-tiered, upper deck as the loons bark a song in the background, to the story-and-a-half Muskokan refuge at the top of the slope, nestled under a canopy of evergreens. You enjoy a leisurely breakfast and ponder the contents of the day ahead. Some fishing? Golf? Horseback riding? Perhaps a simple hike and a swim? Whatever you choose, you know it will be just what you needed, far from the bustle of the city and from the daily worries of life. In the grip of this Muskoka Chair, the day looks perfect. And what else would you expect from a place as magical, as wonderful, as Camp Lake?

Quite beautiful scenery. Well equipped. Surprisingly spacious in and out. Enjoyed wood fire inside and outside.

It was just what we were looking for. Quiet, cozy, off the beaten path, somewhat rustic, and comfortable. The wood stove added a lot to the ambiance.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this cottage 5 years ago, however I failed to review our stay. We had such a great experience the first time we had to come back. The cottage is well maintained and I love the ‘lived in feel’ it brought along with the coziness of all the spaces. The loft bed is so comfortable, I found it hard to get up in the mornings.Location is exactly what we are always looking for. Secluded surrounded by mature trees with a short walk to the water. The climb to and from the lake to cottage is pretty steep and could be a problem with someone that has knee issues. It was not an issue for us and didn’t mind the exercise.We used the canoe daily for fishing, a nice amount of small mouth bass were caught and released. We only went into town one day to buy more fishing lures as we had lost some fishing off the dock. There are giant trees in the lake off shore that is now home to an array of expensive lures. The drive into Huntsville is about 30mins from the cottage but the 20 minute drive on Limberlost road is beautiful I can’t complain. We have made new memories at this cottage this time around as my then boyfriend proposed on the deck with the picturesque view of the lake. It is definitely our favourite place both then and now.Scott is a great host, always accommodating and prompt with his responses. Informative and ensures his guests are taken care of.The only negative feedback I can give is the size of the dock spiders there. Besides some tears and a small panic attack when they decided to greet us it was the best vacation we have had just the two of us without our children. I cannot speak more highly on both vacations we have had at Camp Lake. We will definitely return. Thank you Scott!
