Cottage #284

Welcome to this rare opportunity to affordably experience being on one of the “Big Three” lakes in Muskoka! This cozy 1,000 sq. ft., 3 bedroom cottage is nestled on 3 acres of well treed land, perched above the beautiful shores of ever popular Lake Rosseau. The cottage has been in the family since 1961 with four generations enjoying their summers here each and every year. The current owner has spent his summers here since childhood and fondly considers the cottage his roots.

The interior of the cottage is warm and inviting with dark wood floors, pine wood walls and cottage classic comfortable furnishings throughout. Large picture windows in the dining room and living room allow for peaceful tree-top views out to the lake while dining or relaxing with a long overdue novel.

With an east exposure, awake to spectacular sunrises and enjoy your morning coffee on the dock as the mist rises off the lake and another day in paradise begins. In the summer months, the sun is on the dock from sunrise to mid/late afternoon, so you may never head back up to the cottage during the day! With an abundance of non-motorized water toys at your disposal, be sure to get out on the lake and explore. Relax in the Muskoka chairs while soaking up the sunshine and when it gets too hot jump off the end of the dock, where the water is 10 ft. deep, and take a cool refreshing swim. For avid boaters, add to your vacation adventures and bring or rent a boat and discover the extensive network (known as "The Big Three") connecting Lake Rosseau to Lake Muskoka and Lake Joseph via river and lock systems.

It is a must to take a short drive into Rosseau, especially on a summer Friday, and enjoy the Farmer's Market at the boat launch and park. Today Magazine refers to The Rosseau General Store as "an eclectic emporium where you can find just about anything you could reasonably want, a village Wal-Mart but with infinitely more character".

However you spend your days, end them back on the cottage deck for a BBQ, relax on the comfy couch with after-dinner beverages and then gather round the fire bowl roasting marshmallows for desert. What the owners enjoy most about the cottage is sharing the peaceful and beautiful surroundings with their family and friends and hope that your visit will bring you the same joy!
