About this property

June, Sept-Oct 2024 Only Remaining Availability

Nestled in birch trees on beautiful Peninsula (Pen) Lake near Lake of Bays this classic Muskoka cottage is the ideal spot to enjoy the beauty of early summer or fall in Muskoka and nearby Algonquin Park. Enjoy outdoor dining in the screen porch, relax in Muskoka chairs on the large deck or watch the sunset from the private dock or the hammock at the lake. The private sand beach is superb, with a gradual incline and sandy bottom with no weeds. Swim to the raft in the deeper water for diving.. 3 piece indoor bathroom in the cottage but you'll love the experience of the outdoor shower and bathroom (with sink and flush toilet) in the midst of trees. Enjoy the lake in the canoe or the 20 hp motor boat. Travel by boat to Fairy Lake, Huntsville, Lake Vernon or through the locks to Mary Lake, cycle the scenic routes around Lake of Bays, Dwight and Algonquin or golf at renowned Deerhurst Highlands or Mark O'Meara golf courses.

The 3 bedroom cottage is pine walls and hardwood floors throughout and the separate cozy cabin is cedar lined with a wood stove. The living room features large picture windows and a beautiful stone fireplace. Tap water is drinkable from a well and a UV filter. The Springsyde shore includes a private shoreline path for cottagers to stroll along the shore. All amenities are included: satellite TV and most streaming services, stereo, barbeque, dishwasher, laundry room and a generator in case of power outage. There's an extra fridge with freezer in the storage shed.

What a gem
Absolutely loved everything about staying at Bruce and Maureen's place! To me it was even nicer than the pictures, they don't do justice to how cozy and instantly comfortable it is. The beds were great, the living room was spacious and comfortable, and everything was perfectly clean and easy to navigate. The outdoor shower was a decadent treat! Mostly, the hosts are wonderful people who made us feel incredibly at home. If I could give it more than five stars I would!

Amazing experience again!
This is our second year renting this lovely cottage and it, again, lived up to our already high expectations. The cottage was amazing as always and this year we got to meet more of the friendly neighbours along the Springsyde Path. Amazing experience, start to finish. Highly recommend this beautiful cottage and fantastic location!

Comfy cottage in a great location
The cottage is very clean, organized and well-equipped, including the kitchen utensils and small appliances. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable 5 day stay. The cottage is the nestled into a small, friendly cottage community and the locals strike the perfect balance between being friendly and helpful (including rescuing us from a tipped canoe) but still giving you enough space for some solitude. The comfortable vibe of the cottage makes you feel at home as soon as you arrive. It doesn't feel as if you're staying at a stranger's home. The sleep cabin is perfect for additional guests or family members and provides a little extra privacy. It is a short walk to the cottage so you don't feel excluded. The outdoor shower is AMAZING and was well used during our stay! Overall - a great time and Bruce and Maureen were perfect hosts!
