Beautiful and well maintained
Cottages sometimes don't live up to the photos, but this one absolutely does - it's beautiful, clean, well maintained and supplied. If you're looking for a comfortable cottage that has some luxury, this is it. We were there for a family long weekend and all members, from the 3 year old to the grandparents, had a great time. The only negatives, and they are so slight they're almost not worth mentioning, are that the blinds in the master were missing the remote to pull them up, the DVD in the kids bedroom was missing the cable that connects it to the TV, and the DVD in the TV room was nowhere to be found. Like I said, small issues that didn't really effect our stay, as evident by the 5 stars. We would love to come back and hope to!

Lovely lake front cottage! Fun for all ages!
My family and I spent a week on Acton Island at this lovely cottage. We all very much enjoyed our stay. Almost every room in this cottage has an amazing lake view! The boathouse and dock are beautiful. There are so many nice areas to relax and enjoy the scenery on this property. Muskoka District Rentals was so helpful - we highly recommend dealing with Maryrose to book your next family holiday.
