About this cottage rental

At all-season Skyfall you'll feel as if you are in the middle of the forest yet you're just minutes from the Village of Dorset, and not far from the trails of the Frost Centre and the west gate of Algonquin Park. Enjoy a month-long retreat or work-from-home in the heart of cottage country. Very private setting with inviting paths and strikingly beautiful and natural landscaping. Open-concept living space in 2 Great Rooms with cathedral ceilings, 2 fireplaces with stone hearths, 3+2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, all thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the glorious lake views and to fill every interior space with light. The indoors open onto a generous entertaining deck and patio area where you can watch the sun go down. Nearby are snow shoeing and groomed cross country ski trails.

Please note, from the cottage there are 122 walking steps down to the lake, a mixture of granite steps, mulch path and wooden stairs.

Skfyall is our part-time home and we ask that you treat it with as much care as we do. As a close-knit group of cottagers, we endeavour to respect each other's space while enjoying cottage excursions. If you are looking for a place to enjoy nature, water fun, fall hikes, snowshoeing, fireside chats and beautiful sunsets, then please consider renting Skyfall. We value our tranquility as do our neighbours. We're happy to share our piece of paradise with like-minded folks, we only ask that you respect our home, our neighbours privacy, and the environment around us.

Important to note:
There is zero tolerance for trespassing on neighbours property. We've had issues in the past where guests have accessed our neighbour's boathouse. This is strictly forbidden. Please understand that trespassing on neighbouring properties will result in charges and/or loss of damage deposit. Video surveillance in effect.

Length of stay: Lake of Bays has implemented a Short-term Licence for rental properties in the area which has resulted in certain restrictions, including length of stay. We have decided that the restrictions are too onerous for STRs so have made the decision to switch to longer term rentals. Therefore we must have a minimum of 31 nights of stay per booking, which is compliant with Ontario's definition of a long term rental.

Dorset is only 2 km away with the famous and amazing Robinson's General Store (https://robinsonsgeneralstore.ca/) and Trader's Bay Restaurant. Algonquin Park is a short drive along Highway 60 in one direction with Arrowhead Provincial Park and its skate trail and tubing the other. The Frost Centre's 25km of groomed cross-country trails are only 10km south along Highway 35.

Please read and follow the cottage code of conduct while you enjoy your time at Skyfall.

If you are looking for a place to party hard, get loud, and crank the tunes, then respectfully, Skyfall isn't for you. But if you’re looking for a family-friendly retreat in a peaceful oasis, this is your spot!

We had a great time at Skyfall. The view down over Lake of Bays was exceptional. The cottage had plenty of space and enough bathrooms. We were six of us but one night there were eight of us. . The kitchen was well equipped with good cooking facilities, great BBQ and close to Dorset to get groceries easily but far enough away to feel completely in nature. The cottage had character and charm. -great deep water swimming. Lots of parking and great star watching. Its a wonderful spot. Thank you

Our family of 5 plus relatives visiting from Italy and the U.S. (we were 10 in total) had a lovely week at this lakeside cottage. Highlights included the sauna, swimming off the dock, and outdoor campfires at night. Although the cottage technically accommodates 10+, we found that it would be ideal for a smaller group or a single family. E.g., the bathroom in the loft bedroom is completely open/visible to the main room below, so not great for private use in a multi-family situation. Suzanne and Sara were easy to communicate with. All in all, a cozy and fun Muskoka cottage!

This was our group’s third stay at Skyfall. We love everything about this place and the owners are wonderful and very easy to deal with. Highly recommend!

We were celebrating an 80th birthday - eleven of us ranging in age from 11 to 80. The cottage is large and easily accommodated everyone. The four kids slept on pullouts, Murphy bed, etc in the Great Room. The most beautiful view in Lake of Bays and the large deck was perfect for a large group to play games, eat, sip a cocktail, view the sunset. Highly recommended. Only drawback was the 200 steps to the water (and back up). Exhausting for any age and not doable for this senior (had to go into Dorset and taken by boat to our dock. Otherwise, a great rental!
