Ada Lake is a peaceful inland lake, perfect for enjoying non-motorized activities such as kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding.
Please note that this property is not connected to the larger Muskoka lake system (including Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, or Lake Joseph). If you are planning to rent a motorboat or personal watercraft, please confirm with the rental company that it is suitable for Ada Lake before booking. Many rental boats are intended for the larger Muskoka lakes and cannot be launched or used here.
We recommend Ada Lake for guests looking to enjoy a quiet waterfront experience, fishing, paddling, swimming, and relaxing in nature.

About the host
Hosted by Allison Uttley
My partner Rick and I love travelling and exploring new places around the world, but our favourite getaway is still a summer trip to the cottage. Muskoka lakes holds a special meaning to us, and we're excited to invite you to enjoy our family cottage.
Why they chose this property
Our cottage offers the perfect balance between peaceful relaxation and close proximity to all Muskoka Lakes has to offer. We’re located on a small, quiet lake with only 3 cottages on our side of the lake and 4 acres of protected forest in our backyard. But we're only a few minutes’ drive from Bala and Port Carling, and all the shops, restaurants and amenities you need for a comfortable stay. You may even spot a celebrity on your outings to town!
What makes this property unique
Over 300 feet of shoreline on a quiet lake, a lakeside firepit and hot tub, and a large deck made for entertaining!
