Located in serene Starr Bay on Lake Scugog, our retreat offers endless opportunities for boating and fishing, with two kayaks and a paddle boat provided for your aquatic adventures.
We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront with our guests and thus want to be clear regarding the lake conditions on Starr Bay. Even though the water is swimmable, The water in Starr Bay is clear but very shallow and weedy in a portion of the shallowest areas, making it harder to swim. We have included a few photos so that guests can see what we are referring to in the lake.
For guests that decide not to swim in the shallow area, the kayaks & paddleboat are excellent transportation tools to venture out to the deeper regions of Starr Bay or further into Lake Scugog to swim.

We took our 3 daughters and their partners there for 5 days and had an amazing time. The cottage was more then enough space for the 8 of us and had everything we needed. Shane was an excellent host and we would definitely consider returning for another visit.
We had an amazing stay and a great weekend for our family reunion; this is a truly amazing property with a lot of attention to detail. We absolutely loved the hot tub and the large cozy couches!
We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our annual family vacation. Lake Scugog Waterfront Cottage definitely exceeded our expectations. The cottage was beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable and really well equipped. Communication with the hosts was great and they have made every effort to make you feel at home. We were sad to leave and are looking forward to returning to this little bit of paradise.
Beautiful, modern and well appointed home with plenty of space for everyone, inside and out. The hosts were exceptional and very quick to respond to a few minor issues that we had. Would love to rebook in the future.
We just spent Family Day Weekend in this property with our whole family (8 adults, 3 small children) and we can't speak highly enough about our experience! This cottage is huge and beautifully laid out. The bedrooms are spacious, with king beds for all the adults, bunk beds for the kids and a crib for the baby.The furnishings are lovely and the living spaces are welcoming and comfortable. The cottage is so well appointed - tons of dishes, towels, cooking utensils and accessories. Games, hot tub, ping pong and more. They've thought of everything. The setting is beautiful and we were able to enjoy being outside in February. To top it off, the hosts are very accessible and responsive. We had a minor question and they were on top of it immediately. We hope to return to make more memories in this lovely cottage!
We were all very impressed with this cottage. Spotlessly clean, very modern, and spacious (lots of room for our large group of adults and teens/kids). Beautiful views to lake. I like details like plenty of towels available, fully equipped kitchen and lots of seating inside and out. This was our first time renting and we plan to return next year.
LOVED the place. It’s so huge and clean, with amazing lake views. Loved watching stars at night with peacefulness of the lake.
There’s everything you need for a relaxing time with your friends and family.
I’d definitely come back again. Miss the place!
Our stay was absolutely excellent! The owner truly thought of everything to make our visit enjoyable. Communication was seamless, and every detail was thoughtfully considered. The property was spotless and incredibly comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. Both the kids and adults had a blast—there was something for everyone to enjoy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable getaway!
We had an amazing time! The home is beautifully designed, and the owner has truly thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and memorable. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the utensils, plates, and tools you’d need to prepare great meals. And the host even left bottled water for guests, which was a thoughtful touch.There were plenty of towels, including cabana towels, and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day.The hosts were super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. They were always available whenever we had questions, which made everything easy and stress-free.From the Sonos speakers throughout the house to the comfy, huge couches and TVs on every floor, every detail added to the experience. The ping pong table and games definitely brought out our competitive (and fun!) side.Highly recommend!
