You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private Cottage on a lovely small lake in the heart of Muskoka

You deserve this, whether it’s for a week or you are working remotely for a month, come to Muskoka.

All the amenities of home. Walkout to the beach & fire pit. Very private (1000 ft of shore). Excellent for families with young kids. Right in the heart of Muskoka. 5 minutes to Mactier, 20 minutes to Port Carling or Parry Sound. Come and swim, golf, cycle, hike or just relax in a hammock or hot tub.

NOTE: A few folks have sent me notes saying that they have been contacted by me via Facebook or other social media platforms to arrange bookings. Unfortunately this appears to be a scam. For your safety I will not communicate with you in anyway other than the VRBO app. Once you are booked, I will give you my cell # for emergencies.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.
