About the host

Hosted by Brent Bigelow

We moved to Muskoka 14 years ago when we decided it was the perfect place to raise a family. We are proud parents of 4 girls and absolutely love living in Huntsville.

We are new to hosting, but feel honoured to introduce to the relaxing lifestyle of being in Muskoka.

Why they chose this property

We searched for the ideal property that had a rural location yet close to town. When we discovered this property with it's 2 storey log cabin - it just felt like a perfect fit for an active family who enjoy the outdoors.
As our family grew we moved out of the log cabin and built our home next door on the same property.

What makes this property unique

The Floating Home is moored on the Big East River with nature views in all directions. You can fish right from your deck, or hop in a kayak or canoe and discover the wild side of life up and down the river.
We have 60+ acres of rugged forested hills with the Big East River meandering along part of the border. You can go for hikes along the nature trails we have carved through the forest, hike up to the Lookout Point which provides and expansive view over the countryside and Lake Vernon. Nature surrounds you with the calls of song birds, the rustle of small animals scurrying away in the forest, the breeze singing through the leaves..... Bring your camera .... deer, foxes, wild turkeys and the occasional bear just might give you that perfect photo to show your friends and family.
Muskoka is a year round playground from hot summer days to snowy winter nights there is so much to do and discover.
