About this cottage rental
Beautiful Bright 4 bdrm, 2 bath Cottage on Pristine Skeleton Lake
Here’s your opportunity to vacation at a little piece of paradise known as 'Muskoka's Best Kept Secret'. Highly sought after pristine spring fed Skeleton Lake offers a gorgeous hard-packed safe, shallow sandy beach waterfront entry (ideal for young and old) into the calm, clean, crystal-clear water. Exceptional Hardscape landscaping that amplifies the useable space to gather and entertain. The deck and upper patio with hot tub offer sun all day while the mid-level large patio with fire pit, seating and hammock provides shade all day long. Clean patios and granite steps take you all the way to the dock and sandy beach (shoes are optional but not required)
Venture Inside the cottage (perfect for large or small families), where modern living meets vintage Muskoka with this beautiful & bright newly renovated year round 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage. The brand new open concept kitchen and tastefully decorated dining/living room, with ample seating provides the opportunity for friends and family to gather together for meals or a cozy evening of games and entertainment in the living room. Enjoy the stunning lakeside views from the comfort of inside or while relaxing in the Jacuzzi hot tub or on the large lakeside deck, perfect for Al Fresco dining. Savour the warm summer evenings when relaxing on the dock or while enjoying roasting marshmallows by the soothing fire. Enjoy a beverage and bask in the glow of the breathtaking sunsets that can entertain you endlessly.
Outside, to enjoy water activities, utilize the paddle boat, canoe, paddle boards, kayaks or just playing and swimming in the gorgeous lake. We call our beloved lake the 4 C's for the calm, clean and crystal-clear water. The water is so clear that you can swim with your eyes open under the water, or see clouds in the sky from beneath the water (see pictures!). If feeling competitive, enjoy some outdoor lawn games provided or play in the sand with the sand toys for the little ones.
If looking to bring your own motor boat, conveniently, the marina is just 2 minutes down the road for launching.
Fun filled excursions are abundant all year round. Take advantage of the nearby provincial parks, hiking trails, waterfalls, cross country skiing, downhill skiing and snowmobiling on the lake and trails.
You won't regret investing your time in paradise!
ABOUT SKELETON LAKE
Known as 'Muskoka's Best Kept Secret', in the heart of Muskoka, Skeleton Lake offers sandy swimming coves, great fishing, water sports, hiking and warm summer sunsets.
Skeleton Lake is the 4th largest lake in the region. It has a circumference of about 25 miles and has been called the clearest lake in Canada. Unlike most of the area lakes, which are souvenirs of the glacial age, Skeleton is believed to have formed as a result of a meteorite impact. Being a spring-fed lake, it is very, very clear and on calm days one can easily see down to depths of 20 or more meters.
There is much to explore. A short distance around the lake is hiking trails, a waterfall, children's camp and shallow public beach with picnic tables. Fishing is great: summer or in winter
SURROUNDING AREA:
Out and about, Arrowhead and Algonquin Parks offer more nature to those who can't get enough. The town of Huntsville is itself a huge art gallery, with Group of Seven murals hung on more than 20 buildings in the area. Golfers will want to spend a day at Diamond in the Ruff, Deerhurst Highlands or Deerhurst Lakeside. Anglers might be interested in spending a day at Lake Vernon with a Hooked Young fishing tour. Check out the program at the Algonquin Theatre during your stay, although if it's something you want to see, it's best to buy your tickets well in advance. In winter, snowmobiling and cross country skiing are at your doorstep, and Hidden Valley Ski Club is just 25 km away.

Absolutely gorgeous! It was the perfect cottage to spend Christmas. The fire place added to the ambiance.The view of the lake was magical and good for ice fishing. The hot tub was a perfect way to top off the nights. It was ideal and we will be talking about the experience for years to come.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2025
Loved our stay. Cottage was spotless. Nice modern feel, yet "cottagey" as well. The kitchen was very very well stocked - all the pots/pans/supplies, plus coffee, sugar, filters, oil, spices, etc. Washer and dryer included laundry detergent which was really nice. Hot tub was clean and worked well. A beautiful cottage experience.Very nice canoe, two fishing kayaks and SUP's. All equipment is super well maintained and quite new. Fishing is good by the marina. Lovely landscaping and fire area outdoors. Firewood not included. Neighbors are very friendly.Things to consider - bathrooms are tiny, as are bedrooms, but worked for us. Also, if you are looking for ultimate privacy, then this place may not be for you, as the cottages are very close together (not clear from the VRBO pics). Overall, we all (five adults plus a dog) had a really nice vacation for six days in the fall. Would highly recommend.

It was wonderful to have all meals outside. It was quiet and relaxing. My sister and I were amazed how well stocked the cottage was with everything you might need to use.

I was up with my family to celebrate the father-in-law’s life on Skeleton Lake. We needed a space to fit all of us. Jamie’s place was a godsend. It’s perfectly located and the space inside and outside can’t be beat. From the hot tub, to the fire pit, the dock and washer and dryer. This is a dream house and I will be forever grateful for the opportunities to make memories here.
