About this cottage rental
You deserve this, whether it’s for a week or you are working remotely for a month, come to Muskoka.
All the amenities of home. Walkout to the beach & fire pit. Very private (1000 ft of shore). Excellent for families with young kids. Right in the heart of Muskoka. 5 minutes to Mactier, 20 minutes to Port Carling or Parry Sound. Come and swim, golf, cycle, hike or just relax in a hammock or hot tub.
NOTE: A few folks have sent me notes saying that they have been contacted by me via Facebook or other social media platforms to arrange bookings. Unfortunately this appears to be a scam. For your safety I will not communicate with you in anyway other than the VRBO app. Once you are booked, I will give you my cell # for emergencies.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this cottage on Ricketts Lake! The location is truly unbeatable—being right on the water provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing week. We were blessed with beautiful weather, which allowed the kids, the adults, and even our pets to have an amazing trip. It is such a quiet, peaceful lake; it was absolute private bliss.The property was lovely, though there were a few minor things here and there that could use attention. We noticed a few small items that could benefit from repairs or upgrades, which would really enhance the cottage experience. While we didn't mention these to the host during our stay, they were minor enough that they didn't hinder our enjoyment of the trip.We also loved the location—it was the perfect home base for us. We were close enough to take easy day trips into Bala and Port Carling, and the kids absolutely loved our outing to Santa’s Village.Overall, we had an amazing getaway and would definitely return to enjoy this beautiful spot again!

Fantastic location on a quiet lake. Close to MacTier for any grocery need. Great watercraft amenities and dock for hanging out on the water. Nice games room for when it's raining. The two options for having a fire was very nice too.

A really nice cottage with all the amenities. Hot tub and sauna were great. Our next visit will be longer so we can use more of the amenities. Thanks Simon for being such a great host and letting us into your cottage.
