Winter relaxation getaway lake front Muskoka cottage with spectacular views
Wake up to glistening lake views and the sounds of nature at this peaceful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage on beautiful Skeleton Lake. Perfect for families or couples, this charming Muskoka retreat offers a private dock, fire pit, and kayaks for unforgettable days on the water — and cozy evenings under the stars.

Stephanie has put together a good cottage right on the lake. It’s a beautiful, calm setting with a well done cottage. Ideal for a couple or a family looking for a quiet vacation with some water activities. Just as a constructive feedback, the kitchen could be better stocked. Will visit again for sure!!!

Perfect Getaway
We were in the area for a wedding and wanted a place that was secluded and quiet. This cabin hit it out of the park, check in was easy, Steve checked with us each day to see if we needed anything and the fishing off the dock was outstanding.

A Great Location To Welcome Fall
We stayed at Stephanie’s cottage for a weekend. The cottage is clean and comfortably allows two couples (or a family) to enjoy the beauty of a quiet cove at Skeleton Lake.

What an amazing place. Located right on the lake with your own mini beach and dock to jump off. I loveed the split with bedroom being upstairs with the fantastic lake view. Very comfortable queen bed and a great tiled shower with lots of hot water!
Great bonus besides the bbq and firepit (wood supplied) were the stars at night, it's been a very long time since i've seen the Milkyway and that many.
Definitely a bookmark and a place I'll be going back too!!
