Welcome to luxury and privacy at this Exclusive Waterfront Vacation ‘Escape’ on Lake Muskoka – in close proximity to famous Millionaire’s Row. Find yourself transported to a world far away from the stress and fast-pace of everyday life. This beauty, fondly known as Gordon Cottage, is nestled in the “heart” of Lake Muskoka 9 secluded acres. The property’s grounds retain its natural woodlands & waterfront while blending with cottage life. Tall mature maple, oak and pine trees, nature-crafted hiking trails, Muskoka rock outcroppings, and wildflowers create a peaceful, quiet haven. Remarkable and unique to this property is that bugs are few and far between - even while hiking in the woods, taking a moon-lit swim or gazing at the star-filled night sky from the cottage’s wrap-around deck.
Want to go into town? No problem as Gordon Cottage is centrally located to the scenic towns of – Bala, Gravenhurst, Point Carling and Bracebridge – a mere 12-15 minutes by boat or car – depending, of course, on your travel pace! There is so much and such a variety to do. How about a trip to the town bakery, shopping at the Farmer’s Market in Gravenhurst or Bala, taking a scenic boat cruise on the R.M.S. Segwun, dining out at 4-Star restaurants/resorts or a visit to the Bethune Memorial House National Historic Site? How about spending a day golfing at one of the many top-notch courses or a game of tennis? Finally wind-down the day with a family outing at the water-ski show in Bala (and don’t forget a double scoop of ice cream for the kids.)
Your vacation home, Gordon Cottage is architected with vaulted pine ceilings, open concept living room and dining room, honey-coloured (easy to clean) hardwood floors and a floor to ceiling hand-laid Muskoka stone fireplace. Sumptuous Italian leather furniture grace the living room ... beckoning you for a nap on a lazy summer afternoon.
An immaculately appointed designer kitchen makes meal preparation a breeze. Spacious granite countertops and Kitchen-Aid stainless steel appliances ensure that the “cook” has a vacation too!
For those that like to BBQ, sunbathe or just “chill”, step out (from the living room) onto the wrap-around deck, made entirely of crystal-clear see-through tempered safety glass. The deck has a breath-taking view of the lake and the unspoiled nature of pine trees and rock.
At Gordon Cottage, your day can be as playful or as restful YOU decide ... Choices, Choices, Choices.
Ready for a swim? Play at the 270+ feet of waterfront with its large dock for your boat, wind-surfer, sea-doo, inflated inner tube and any other fun-loving toys. What a great area for water skiing with the family! Want to take it a little slower? Relax in the Muskoka chairs on the deck - looking out onto the panoramic view of deep clear blue waters of the Lake, waving to the passengers on the R.M.S. Segwun Steamship as it cruises by.
The cosy Boathouse Loft (with cathedral ceilings & lots of windows) can be rented with Gordon Cottage to provide accommodation for two additional people. You will enjoy sunbathing, or entertaining guests on this spacious deck overlooking the water with a view to die for. Better yet, enjoy evening sunsets and listening to the calling of the Loons.
Want to vacation with your friends or extended family – and yet don’t want to be on top of each other? If your answer is yes, then the Spencer Cottage Guesthouse perched on top of a hill with its own private laneway and parking (part of the 9 acre estate) is perfect. Spencer Cottage has 3 bedroom/2bath, accommodating 6 guests comfortably. It is only a 3 minute walk to the waterfront and Spencer Cottage change-house, sundeck and huge dock. Great for parking more boats.
Envision your summer at this perfect hide-away vacation spot making THIS your most memorable time with family and friends.
Wishing you all the best –
Donna and John
