10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
The Muskoka family compound, made up of three fully serviced cottages, makes a great setting for larger groups. There is ample room to spread out and common areas for evenings around the campfire, a fabulous hot tub and a large dock for swimming. An excellent family vacation destination.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
The three cottages were exceptionally well equipped, modern kitchens, cueing fans everywhere, and AC units.
It was nice to have three families and everyone had some privacy but we all shared the games and water front,
A fabulous fishing spot off the dock. Kids had a great time
We had a turtle visitor who thought he as entitled to the catch!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
We recently stayed at this incredible property and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nestled right on the lake, the setting is absolutely breathtaking – peaceful mornings by the water, stunning sunsets, and the gentle sounds of nature all around. It’s the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. What really sets this place apart are the three separate cottages on the property. This setup was perfect for our group – we had plenty of privacy while still being able to enjoy time together. Each cottage was clean, cozy, and well-equipped, making it easy for everyone to feel right at home. Even though it feels like a secluded retreat, the property is just 10 minutes from town, so everything we needed – groceries, shops, restaurants – was close and convenient. If you're looking for a relaxing lakeside escape with plenty of space and charm, this place is it. We’re already talking about booking our next trip back. Highly recommend! A true hidden gem!
5.0 / 10.0·Sep 2014
Wow, what a true gem! Photos do not justify the peaceful serenity of this property. The entire 360º view is just beautiful. The plush forest, birds chirping away, slight rustling of the tree canopy above – I instantly became relaxed as soon as i stepped out of the car. The property is very clean, well maintained and the landscaped steps down to the water was great. A really nice surprise was the hammock and the elevated view overlooking the bay and sunsets on the southwest side of the property. My wife and I enjoyed taking advantage of the canoe/kayaks for some mid afternoon paddles and relaxing under the stars at night next to the campfire was a real treat. We are already talking about another visit next year :)
