Cottage #299

This remarkable property on much sought-after Lake Muskoka is a vacation destination dream come true! Welcome to this beautiful, 1800 sq. ft., 2 level, 3 bedroom cottage and 1 bedroom garage bunkie, nestled on 3 acres of land with 350 feet of pristine water frontage.

From the moment you open the entrance door to the main cottage and take in the spectacular views of the lake, there will be no doubt that you have come to the right place to indulge and truly enjoy your family vacation. The open concept kitchen/living/dining room is warm and inviting with gorgeous pine floors and comfortable furnishings throughout, creating an ideal space and ambiance for quality family time. The large kitchen island is amazing for prepping meals and for entertaining, then enjoy meals at the harvest dining table before settling into the comfy sectional couches with after dinner beverages, all while taking in peaceful lake views from a wall of large picture windows.

The upper level has 3 tastefully decorated bedrooms with the spacious lake facing master bedroom having its own 3-piece ensuite bathroom and a direct walk-out to a private deck, the owners favourite place to watch beautiful sunsets. More than likely the garage bunkie will be taken over by the teens in the family, as it has a bedroom, kitchenette, living area and 3-piece bathroom, giving them privacy while only being a stone's throw away from the cottage.

Start your mornings off, cup of coffee in hand, on the large covered deck while listening to a myriad of bird sounds, including owls in the surrounding forest. A short gentle path takes you down to the waterfront with sloping rocks at the shoreline into a sandy bottom for wading, while the water is about 8 feet deep at the end of the dock, great for jumping into the lake from on hot days to cool off. Being in a bay makes for calmer waters, so with 3 kayaks at your disposal, be sure to get out on the water for a leisurely paddle and explore the lake. With expansive views of Lake Muskoka to the West, North and East, means the tour boats “Segwun” and “Wenonah II” are visible (at a comfortable distance) several times a day as they take passengers on sightseeing tours of Lake Muskoka.

For avid boaters bring or rent a boat and explore the extensive network (known as "The Big Three") connecting Lake Muskoka to Lake Rosseau by the Indian River, and Lake Rosseau to Lake Joseph by the Joseph River. Lake Muskoka is extremely picturesque with an abundance of islands and has everything you could wish for in a lake, you can even boat to restaurants!

Any day of the week is great to venture out to nearby Gravenhurst for a change of pace, but be sure not to miss visiting on Wednesdays from Victoria Day to Thanksgiving from 9am-2pm by the wharf for the enormous Farmer’s Market, one of the regions most popular attractions. The quaint towns of Bala and Port Carling can be reached via water or road, also providing great outdoor activities such as Bala Cranberry Marsh/Winery and Huckleberry Rock Lookout.

However you choose to spend your days, end them with a BBQ back at the cottage, then gather around the fire pit, watching fireflies as the sky fills with a blanket of stars and listen to the melodic call of the loons as yet another fabulous day in cottage country comes to a close! The rich cottage history of vacationing on this famous lake is sure to please the whole family, so there is no better time than now to dive into cottage life and live it to its fullest!
