This property is exactly as advertised. The host is incredibly helpful and responsive and the cottage is on a beautiful part of the lake. Great swimming and Tara makes sure the cottage is well stocked with whatever you might need. Kitchen was well equipped, the owner provided towels and bedding - all in great condition. Would highly recommend this listing.

Our stay was amazing! The view is stunning, the cottage was clean and has everything you need for your stay. We loved spending time outside and on the dock. Highly recommend!
The cottage is in a beautiful setting and is very well equipped. We had a wonderful short break. Mr and Mrs Smith were welcoming and helpful. If I could give this cottage 12 out of ten I would. We hope to be able to visit again one day.
Absolutely loved everything about our stay- absolutely stunning location and cabin, very thoughtful in all the little details - I’d love to return someday
Cottage was beautiful and clean.Setting was great and access couldn’t be better.The cottage was the best equipped unit we’ve rented on Vrbo.Everything was great.
We had a great week at the cottage—everything was well done at the cottage and all the amenities were fantastic. Tara and Ken are wonderful hosts. Would stay again.
What a fabulous summer property. All is at your disposal whether you want to spend time on the lake, go to a golf course around the corner, or just take in nature on some hikes…The cottage is newly built, it is maintained very well, and has all the amenities that you would need. I highly recommend staying at this Muskoka cottage.
The cottage is beautiful, well built and impeccably maintained. Ken and Tara are very responsive and the cottage is equipped with everything one could possibly require. The deck is huge and perfect for sundowners. I highly recommend this spot.
We had a lovely 4 nights. Tara and Ken met us at cottage and showed us around. Excellent hosts. Cottage is fully equipped with all you need for a very comfortable stay. Best bit of it for us was sitting quietly on the huge deck relaxing.
Owners are close by and are professional, kind and welcoming. The property is beautiful, beds are comfortable, and the dock (and view) are everything you associate to staying at a cottage in Muskoka.
Amazing cottage over looking the lake. Enjoyed the large dock and fire pit to sit back and relax. The new cottage was fully equipped, spacious and extremely comfortable. Tara was an amazing host.
This cottage was clean and absolutely beautiful! Ken and Tara were fantastic to deal with. My 12 year old boy/girl twins are asking when we can go back!
We were looking for a place to get away and relax. The Muskoka Lake Chalet was the perfect place. The outdoor decks and dock were perfect for relaxing by the water or enjoying a meal. The firepit is a wonderful way to enjoy the evening. The cottage itself was well appointed with anything you could possibly want. It was very clean and had plenty of cottage charm. We liked it so much, we’re looking at dates to possibly book again in the Fall.
Really enjoyed the lake view and the large window in the living room. The property also had many household items that were very useful including board games in the TV cabinet. Note that the living room couches seat 5 people.
A place of refuge and discovery!
Since we had some misty drizzly weather the mists of Avalon came to mind.

We take part in hiking and biking, as well as kayaking in the area. My husband's family have lived on the property for over 100 years. My son built the cottage, with the help of my husband. We hope that others will be able to fully enjoy the area when they visit the cottage.
