About this cottage rental
As you step inside, the main floor welcomes you with a spacious modern island kitchen, ideal for preparing meals while socializing with loved ones. The adjoining formal dining room has ample seating for at least ten guests, making it perfect for family gatherings or celebratory feasts. The kitchen island also serves as a casual spot for breakfast and snacks, bringing everyone together at any time of the day.
The heart of the main floor is a double living room, cleverly divided by a two-sided fireplace. One side boasts cathedral windows that offer sweeping views of the surrounding hills, with plenty of cozy seating and a large-screen TV for entertainment. On the other side of the fireplace, a more intimate seating area invites you to relax in privacy while still enjoying those captivating views. The main floor also hosts a tucked-away bedroom for guests who prefer easy access to living spaces. Meanwhile, the primary bedroom offers a sanctuary of its own, featuring a 4-piece ensuite with a luxurious soaker tub, shower, and double sink for ultimate relaxation.
Upstairs, Muskoka Hills features three spacious rooms: two bedrooms and a dedicated home office. One bedroom enjoys its own 3-piece ensuite, and the second bedroom has access to a shared ensuite with a shower and double sinks, ensuring comfort and privacy. The first floor also leads to a large screened deck area that offers sweeping views of the treed hills and valleys, furnished with comfortable seating for morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply soaking in the peaceful ambiance.
While Muskoka Hills is a haven of comfort and luxury, the surrounding area is brimming with activities. Just minutes away, the towns of Huntsville, Dwight, and Dorset offer quaint shops, delightful restaurants, and a range of cultural attractions. Visitors can enjoy a day exploring local markets, historic sites, and art galleries or partake in water sports on nearby lakes. For those seeking outdoor adventure, the Echo Hills trails are conveniently located nearby, perfect for hiking or biking through the scenic Muskoka landscape. Whether you crave excitement or tranquility, Muskoka Hills provides the ideal base for your next Northern Ontario vacation.

10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
This was a nice little getaway for us! We enjoyed the open layout and the amount of amenities (sauna, hot tub, bbq, outside deck). We spent all our time here and it was very cozy and basically had everything you needed. The area around the cottage is pretty bare bones, not a lot of walking area, but not a huge concern.
We just had a few hiccups when we arrived at check in, the cleaner was still there so we had to leave for an hour and come back. After that, the code for the door wasn't set properly so we had to reach out for them to set it again, but it was all resolved quickly.
In the main floor master, we did hear a lot of scratching and squeaking noises in the walls, assuming it was some sort of rodent. It did create disturbances at night/early morning. That was the only major issue for us, and we informed the owners. It's too bad because the home was actually quite nice and enjoyable. Hopefully the rodent issue gets sorted out.
