Situated in quiet Starr Bay off Lake Scugog, it’s the perfect place for boating and fishing. We offer two kayaks and a paddle boat. Down the street there is a public boat launch.

We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront with our guests and thus want to be clear regarding the lake conditions on Starr Bay. Even though the water is swimmable; The water in Starr Bay is clear but very shallow and weedy in a portion of the shallowest areas, making it harder to swim. We have included a few photos so that guests can see what we are referring to in the lake.

For guests that decide not to swim in the shallow area, the kayaks & paddleboat is an excellent transportation tool to venture out to the deeper regions of Starr Bay or further into Lake Scugog to swim.

We had a wonderful four-night stay at this cozy yet spacious winter cottage while celebrating Christmas with our family. The cottage was beautifully set up for the season—warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed to relax and enjoy time together. There was plenty of room for everyone, making it easy to gather, unwind, and create special holiday memories.Alan and Shane were truly excellent hosts. They were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Their communication was prompt and welcoming, and they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and stress-free.This cottage was the perfect setting for a festive family getaway, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, welcoming winter retreat.
