Joanne and Ron were exceptional hosts. We were greeted by Joanne on arrival who walked us through the cottage and explained everything we would need to know. We came with a family of 8 and had more than enough room. the amenities were plentiful, all we needed to bring was food and clothes, everything was provided, including towels, toiletries. The cottage was clean and comfortable. the dock and water was clean and beautiful, my grandchildren had fun fishing, catching frogs and turtles and swimming. Joanne even came to help us start our fire when we were struggling. It was a great vacation and will be booking next year again.

About the host

Hosted by Joanne Simpson

Host profile image
We are Joanne and Ron. We have enjoyed cottaging with family and friends in Muskoka for over 20 years. The water has such a calming effect on everyone. Our love of this area is something we have always wanted to share with others.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is located on a well maintained private road. Driving in you will pass areas where herons nest and beavers swim. You may also see turkeys, quails or american woodcocks along the way.

What makes this property unique

The property has a beautiful mix of natural flowers and ferns and an english, tiered garden that leads down to the waterfront. The new dock has ample space to lounge with the entire family. Enjoy a swim or kayak or canoe along the river.
