About this property

Cute four-season cottage with sandy beach on Lake Muskoka

Welcome to the perfect and affordable small family vacation getaway on ever popular Lake Muskoka! This 800 sq. ft., 3 bedroom cottage is cute and as clean as a whistle with all the comfort conveniences of home.

The cozy living room has beautiful lake views and a gas fireplace for cooler evenings and a ceiling fan to make for more comfortable nights on humid summer evenings. The well-equipped kitchen has lake views as well making it enjoyable while prepping and making meals. Although there are seating areas inside for snacking or dining, the place of choice on beautiful summer days will be the deck overlooking the expansive lawn and lake. The cottage is equipped with a whole house water filtration system! Offering clean water for you to enjoy on the hot summer days! The hot water tank is 15 gallons which is normally good for about two showers, then may require 20 - 30 minutes to replenish.

The front or back lawn are great for the kids to play catch or throw a frisbee and the 25 feet of hard packed sand at the waterfront is ideal for young and old alike to safely splash and play. There are rocks marked by a green buoy in front of the property that can easily be swam out to and explored with a snorkel. You can stand on these rocks and the water will come up to your hips. With the property facing south enjoy plenty of sunshine from late morning to sunset.

The property is located in one of the most sought after parts of Lake Muskoka, directly between the towns of Port Carling and Bala. St. Anne’s Catholic Church is a heritage building only two properties away where there is also a municipal dock, an excellent place to view sunsets! Boat parking is provided overnight at the adjacent boat house, with daytime parking available at the municipal dock, or right on your beach!

The country road in front of the cottage is great for scenic afternoon walks or runs and for nature lovers keep your eye out for deer and blue herons, commonly sited weekly. Finally, for avid boaters, you can tour “The Big Three” (Lake Muskoka, Lake Joseph and Lake Rosseau). With it's central location, you can easily access Bala, Port Carling, Bracebridge, or Gravenhurst by lake!

The lake also hosts frequent fishing derbies so needless to say keen fishermen won’t be disappointed. The rich cottage history of vacationing on this famous lake is sure to please the whole family!

Well maintained cottage and well equipped kitchen

A nice week away!
We had such a great time during our stay here. The kids had such a blast fishing, swimming and just enjoying nature!! What a view!!! Steve was a great help during the booking and check in process. The road was a bit busy while we were there but the wonderful neighbour did warn us and it actually didn't bother us at all! Loved our stay! 🙂

Everything you need
Everything we needed was there, including firewood. It is unfortunate that the property is divided by a road. Cars were driving over the speed limit all day long. I resorted to placing the muskoka chairs along the road and this slowed some of the cars down. Don’t expect peace and quiet. There were chainsaws (sometimes starting before 8am), trucks delivering lumber, lawnmowers, and non stop motorboats. Didn’t hear or see one loon. But the beds were comfortable and it was peaceful at night.

Perfect Family March Break Get Away!
Our visit to Steve and Rachel's lovely cottage in Bala was the perfect Winter holiday! We planned a March Break get away with our daughters aged 9 and 10. The cottage had everything we needed, 3 good sized bedrooms, incredibly comfortable beds (is that a memory foam mattress on the king size master!). A propane fire place added to the cozy feeling as we watched the snow softly fall outside. The area surrounding the cottage was something straight out of a fairy tale, perfect for meandering after-dinner walks....we were lucky enough to see both a family of deer and a beautiful large owl! Even the gently sloping huge front lawn was a perfect sledding hill, right outside our front door! The fantastic location allowed us to take advantage of the nearby Muskoka Lakes Winery (neat outdoor, lantern-lit skate path), Hardy Park Hiking Trail, Torrance Barrens Dark Sky Preserve and Arrowhead Park (skate trail, hiking trails, tubing). Our host, Steve was in close contact anytime we had a question, eager to make sure we were happy and had what we needed. Our experience at Steve and Rachel's cottage was exactly the winter cabin holiday we were hoping for! Thank you Steve and Rachel!
