Lake Muskoka 4 BR cottage with all amenities and a sandy beach. Directly on Lake Muskoka. Safe, level lot surrounded by trees with plenty of privacy. Granite and stainless steel kitchen, dishwasher, washer and dryer. The main house has 3 bedrooms: a queen size master bedroom with a picture window overlooking the lake, a lakefront guest room with a queen bed which is perfect for 1-2 adults, and in the third bedroom, kids or adults can sleep in 2 twins.
If you have guests, or someone wants more privacy, take advantage of the separate bunkie. This has 2 twin beds (which can be combined to make a king - filler in dresser), its own bathroom and shower. The bunkie has 2 rooms, and can sleep up to 4 people if you use the pull-out couch.
Having a southern exposure in Muskoka is probably the main thing to look for if you like the sun. Here you will find expansive multi-level southern decks for relaxing or dining, and if you want to get away, go up to the boathouse sundeck where there is peace and quiet, a jaw-dropping view of the lake, a patio table for dining or entertaining, and lounge chairs for 4.
Ever lay out at night looking for shooting stars? You'll find the meteor shower here every August in a cottage country starry sky.
Roast marshmallows at night in our fire pit by the lake.
The water is warm, thanks to the shallow bay, which also does a good job of keeping away roaming boaters.
You can dock your boat here, or use our canoe and kayaks to explore the lake. Have your morning coffee at the end of the dock, and listen to the loons.
Need to grab something? The General Store in Glen Orchard is 5 minutes away. Restaurants in Bala, Port Carling, Gravenhurst and Bracebridge are all within easy reach. Or enjoy nearby golf, tennis and hiking.
This is the vacation you'll remember.

Great family vacation

We had a great week at this cottage. It had everything we needed. Furniture and beds were comfortable! We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards and the kids loved the water. Peter was prompt at answering my questions and even called during our stay to check in.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Brooks

I've been coming to Muskoka since I was 2, and was lucky to buy a cottage near Bala in 1987. I go there every chance I get, and our 3 kids spent their whole summers swimming, canoeing and being outdoors. Over the years we have upgraded just about everything.

Why they chose this property

Lake Muskoka is a little piece of heaven on earth. Not too hard to get to, but a world away from the city. You want to be on one of the 3 big lakes: Muskoka, Rosseau or Joseph. They all connect in the hub of Port Carling, where shops and restaurants have sprung up and become a fun destination themselves.
