About this property

Big Yellow House on Lake Couchiching in S. Muskoka & Orillia

The Cape Cod-style home is right on the water and is meant for family enjoyment. (not a party house please) 4 bedrooms, a gorgeous living area and a breathtaking view of the lake! The gorgeous house has an L Shaped dock (in summer) which is great to sit on on a Muskoka chair with a glass of wine to wonders of nature!

Located in Cumberland Beach is a small village just north of Orillia. It is a very 2km drive from the famous Weber’s Burgers and about a 20-minute drive to Casino. From the rear window, you can see the popular Big Chief island.

Come inside to see a fully functional kitchen and large open kitchen space, or sit on the large deck under the umbrella or in the sun and watch the ducks, birds (Blue Jays, Orioles and Hummingbirds) and other wildlife living their best life. At night there is a nice fire pit for your enjoyment.

There is also a gas-powered BBQ with a sitting area outside for nice meals outside.

On rainy days, you can sit inside and enjoy movies or stream from your favourite service on the big screen tv.

Note that our capacity for the house is 8 people. 3 of the bedrooms are upstairs. There is a king-size bed, a queen in the 2nd bdrm. The 3rd bedroom has 2 Queen beds or for those that prefer more privacy, there is a 4th bedroom that has bunk beds on the main floor.

For those that love to swim the water is generally around knee deep for the first 100m and then it drops off. Enjoy the paddle boards, canoe or paddle boat and we encourage you to bring water shoes for the sandy/mushy bottom.

This is a quiet community with neighbours so we do discourage any groups that plan on playing loud music or using the house for any reason other than enjoying the environment.

There are also fruit markets and a local convenience store within walking distance and a boat slip for anyone bringing a boat. For those that plan on using the fire pit, make sure to get some wood on the way up Highway 11!

If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out! We look forward to hosting you!

Finally - we do like to communicate with our potential guests before completing any bookings. So if you are interested please send us a message first and we can answer any questions you may have. Please DO NOT just book the property without having spoken to us first. Thanks!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We didn’t get to spend much time as we were busy in Orillia but the beds were very comfy and that was what we needed after a long day at the Ontario Winter Games.

We had a lovely weekend at the cottage. We relaxed on the comfy patio furniture while enjoying the beautiful lake view. The beds were comfortable and the host replied promptly and was very helpful when we asked for recommendations regarding attractions in the area.

Our stay was very pleasant. We definitely appreciated how the kitchen cupboards were labelled and so well stocked. The beds were extremely comfortable. We were very pleased to find the beds already made up. It was so convenient having the garbage and recycling bins in the driveway when we checked out.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was wonderful to wake up each morning to the sunrise over the lake. It is a beautiful home in a great location. DJ, the property manager was a pleasure to communicate with. We highly recommend this property. We just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the pedalboat and paddleboards.

The house was large and rooms were great. It would have been nice if there was a screen on the patio door since it was warm out. The property was nice and view of the lake was great. We had a great time. Thank you.

It was a beautiful location. The waterfront was perfect for the children and the house was spacious. The communication with DJ was great. The only disappointment was that the one bedroom had no air conditioning.

One of the better lakefront properties we’ve visited. The dock and area of the lake was really calm and ideal relative to other areas of Lake Simcoe we’ve visited. The house was well kept and had all the amenities we needed.

Getaway weekend with friends!

Beautuful home. Kitchen was well stocked. Beautiful deck and furniture to enjoy when it doesn't rain! A couple of people had reactions to the air freshener and febreeze(?) used on the couches in the living room. Wondering if a cat had been there recently? Overall, it was a great home away from home!

Great Spot, Great Home

My wife and I and our 3 adult kids + their spouses/significant others (total of 8 adults plus one dog) had a great stay over an extended weekend. The home is wonderful (easily accommodating all of us) and the spot/location is excellent. The host (DJ) is efficient and thorough in his correspondence. We had a lovely stay.
