Thanks for staying with us! We’re happy to hear you had a great getaway. We may not be a five-star high-rise in Dubai — nor do we pretend to be! — but we take a lot of pride in offering a five-star Muskoka experience: comfortable, welcoming, and exactly as advertised. Given the three-star rating, we only wish we knew what we could have done differently to make your experience even better, as no concerns were brought to our attention during your stay. Guest feedback is incredibly important to us and always helps us improve. We’re glad you enjoyed your getaway and appreciate you choosing to stay with us!

Devon was a wonderful host and checked in to make sure everything we needed was taken care of.This was a great place for a fall muskoka getaway. The cottage was charming, we enjoyed our deer visitors, the hot tub was such a nice bonus of this place. Given the size of the living room we found there was limited comfortable seating options, that was the only downfall - and even that is something very minor and I understand hard to control given the size of the space.

Our family of four had a great stay at Sawdust City Haus! It is even cuter in person than the photos- spotlessly clean, all the kitchen things and linens you need, and very comfortable and cozy. Clear and easy check-in and quick communication from Devon, our friendly host.We stayed in July, so I wasn’t sure if we would use the sauna and hot tub, but mornings were cool enough to take full advantage we hope to be back!

We had everything we needed and then some! Devon was very helpful, the cabin tiny and perfect. Great location - close to town, great dog walking trail and minutes from cross-country skiing. The cherry on top was the hot tub for apres ski sore muscles. A perfect place for our snow-cation!!

The rental property is nice (very cute and cozy)but neighbour's next to rental is not very appealing. This is unfortunate. I like to be closer to water so likely won't return but we did enjoy our stay and loved the hot tub and outdoor sauna.

Our second trip to Sawdust City Haus and we loved every moment of it. Devon is a great host who works hard to make sure you have everything you need for your stay. The hot tub is wonderful and the skating rink was a fun way to spend some time. We can't wait to come back next winter!

Beautiful cozy cottage. We went for a peaceful winter getaway to get some much needed R&R, and this place absolutely delivered. We loved relaxing in the hot tub watching the snow fall. Devon was a great host. She was very communicative and has thought of most everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

This was the most peaceful place I have ever stayed. I misunderstood and thought it was on the water and was very thankful that Muskoka Bay Park was less than 10 minutes away and had a small beach front. I also think the front room could use another a/c window unit because this room was often quite too warm. I loved how close the deer came to walk around. My dog didn’t, but I loved seeing them just chilling everywhere. The hot tub and Alexa were great additions to my stay since they added to my relaxation and fun. I was disappointed I could not access any other streaming service other than Youtube because a previous guest had changed all the settings.Devon was a fantastic host and very attentive. She absolutely made the enjoyment of my stay a priority and I could feel that because she was very quick to respond to questions I had. Thank you for a lovely stay!

This is a fantastic place to stay - great hosts and everything you could ask for in a cabin, including a hot tub, fire pit, and even reliable wifi. I would not hesitate to book again, we loved everything about our stay.

We did a quick weekend trip here and had a really great time! It was a very nice place to stay in and was so nice relaxing in the hot tub while it was cold out. A snowstorm rolled in the morning we were leaving, and Devon even offered us a discounted extra night. We would have taken it, but unfortunately we had to be home that evening. Would recommend this place!

My partner and I were looking for a cozy winter weekend and this was absolutely perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The exterior is gorgeous and the patio lights are an added cozy touch. The hot tub was very clean and perfectly situated with a nice view of the woods. The interior was very cozy and beautifully decorated. We decided to stay in and cook, and the kitchen was very well-equipped! There is nothing more we could have asked for and wouldn’t change a thing! Devon and Josh were lovely hosts and easy to get in touch with. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

Wedding weekend

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the close proximity to the wedding venue Sawdust City. Hot tub and sauna was very enjoyable and they even had a bin of toys for our two dogs to use. Would absolutely stay again.
