Private Cottage on a lovely small lake in the heart of Muskoka

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities including a hot tub and a sauna. Additional amenities at this cottage include an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.
