About this property
Muskoka Family Cottage On Crystal Clear High Lake
Here is a great updated 3 bedroom cottage with 100 feet of shoreline, on beautiful crystal clear High Lake. This cottage is located at the end of a quiet, private road with Crown land on one side and has the natural beauty of trees built up along Muskoka rock. The cottage sits just slightly elevated from the shoreline with a gradual sloping yard down to the lake. The deck across the front of the cottage gives a great vantage point for relaxing or dining as you gaze out across the water. The western exposure provides all day sun or you can sit back under the shade of nearby trees.
For a dip into the refreshing clear waters, you can walk in from the sand bottomed shore that slopes very gently or shallow dive from the end of the long dock where the water is about 4-5 feet deep. There is a sandy beach area that is great for kids. Kids will love splashing and playing here and the hard packed sand bottom makes it a real joy for wading and swimming.
Enjoy your day on the dock where there is plenty of room for sitting and the sun shines from late morning to sunset. High Lake is a small spring fed lake which means it tends to be a warmer lake and an ideal size for families to enjoy by canoe or pedal boat. Canoe over to the top of the waterfall flowing into Skeleton Lake or go over to the jumping rock. Climb up and jump off. There is a fire pit at the waterfront so you can sit and enjoy amazing sunsets, star gazing, campfires, marshmallow roasting and story-telling
Inside the recently updated cottage, you'll find it meticulously kept. You enter into the Muskoka room, where you can sit and relax on the leather sofa while enjoying a view of the lake through the large sliding door. Once you go through the door you will be in the spacious living and dining rooms. The living room offers plenty of comfortable seating and the dining room table seats 6 comfortably. There is a fully stocked clean white kitchen. One of the three bedrooms enjoys a great view out over the lake.
Whether relaxing in the living room, sitting on the dock, or just chilling out on the deck with your favourite beverage, enjoying cottage life is easy.

This property is a beautiful spot to relax on the lake. We had everything we needed in the spotless cottage. The kitchen is well stocked and the bbq worked great. There are so many spots to relax in comfort, inside and out. This was our second stay and it was just as comfortable and relaxing as we remembered.
My 7 year old son said “it was awesome!” My kids really enjoyed the children’s kayaks and swimming (in October). Beautiful sun during the middle of the day and beautiful sunset. It was incredibly clean and comfortable. Dana was the best host. Great communication.
It felt like you were at the cottage staying here. My kids had the time of their life being able to catch fish and swim in the lake. Dana was a great host especially leaving the smores kit as a welcome gift.
We had a wonderful time in this cozy and comfortable cottage. A perfect location in the heart of Muskoka, a beautiful lake and lots of things to do and to explore.
Thank you, Dana.
We had a wonderful week at Dana's cottage. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. The dock and lake are beautiful - perfect for relaxing, swimming, and paddle boarding. Dana was quick to reply to messages. We highly recommend Dana's cottage for a getaway!
This was our family's second time at Dana"s beautiful cottage. Our grandchildren loved the kayaks and all the water toys provided. The children loved the loons, otters and frogs. The adults enjoyed the canoe, stand up paddle and the peddle boat. The water was warm for swimming and barbecuing was very convenient. The lake was quiet and a beautiful view from the deck, front porch and the bedroom! Thankyou
Dana's cottage was clean, well equipped and oh so relaxing! The beds were good and there was lots of comfortable seating inside and out.
The lake view was spectacular and we spent most of our time swimming, pedal boating and paddle boarding.
We had one rainy day and there was enough space inside for us (4 adults) to hangout and play games.
We would definitely rent again!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage perfectly located on High lake. There were clear entry instructions, and the surprise S'Mores package was a classy touch. We loved the dock, easy access to swimming by the ladder or walking in on the sand beach. It was an easy entry and exit for the canoe and our friends enjoyed the paddle board from the dock.
There are other cottages close by but everyone was very respectful and our campfires felt very private. There is no wifi. The cottage is very well equipped with washer and dryer and barbecue.
We couldn’t believe our good fortune, spending a whole week at this location! It was perfect! So quiet! We spent a lot of time on the beautiful dock. The lake was clear and the sand warm. The cottage is in a very quiet, unspoiled part of the lake. Canoeing was wonderful - so much nature to see, since a large portion of the lake is Crown Land. We saw otters, loons, a hummingbird, and some very friendly ducks. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided. Just excellent.
This is our second year staying at Dana’s property. I have nothing but good things to say. It’s a perfect spot for our family of 4. The cottage is clean and updated. My kids love sharing a room with bunk beds. My toddler loves the beach and walks into the water and my 6 year old loves to climb down the dock. We used the paddle boards, canoe and paddle boat. Pro tip: check out the waterfall. I would recommend bringing water shoes as there is some weeds growing from the bottom. We unfortunately had to leave a day early due to a family emergency but we are hoping to stay two weeks next summer. Thank you Dana.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is obvious that the owners have beautifully updated their cottage to make it more welcoming and comfortable. It was not warm enough to go swimming, but we saw many pleasure boats that could be used by guests, such as a paddble boat, canoe and paddle boards. The fall colours were really spectacular, and some days it was warm enough that we could sit outside and enjoy the view. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here.
The cottage is lovely and has all the conveniences you could ask for. Lying in bed and looking out onto the peaceful lake is the perfect way to start the day. Being at the far end of the lake with an expanse of crown land on one side made it very peaceful. Although there were a few motor craft about, the lake was very peaceful. I discovered a love of paddle boarding this holiday, something I likely wouldn’t have tried if there weren’t a couple of paddle boards at the cottage for us to use. We did local hikes as well as ones in Algonquin, this was a great base for exploring the area. Definitely would recommend a stay at this lovely location and cottage.
The cottage was exactly as described and honestly I felt it was much nicer than the photos show. Super clean, large and more than our family of four needed.
The small beach was perfect for my Little’s and it’s shallow for a while which didn’t leave me worrying about the kids walking in and hitting a drop off. I would recommend water shoes if you don’t like mucky bottoms. There was loads of sand toys, noodles, floaties and life jackets which never left us bored. Gorgeous view of the lake and very private.
The cottage was spotless and the laundry was life changing with two small kids. The fully stocked kitchen was great but we BBQ’d almost every night.
Dana and Ilan left us a s’mores kit which was very thoughtful. The cottage had more than we needed and we will be booking again next summer, for 2 weeks instead of just one!
We had a lovely time at the cottage.
It was immaculate, lots of space, accommodated all 7 of us very well. Kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, the view of the lake from the cottage was incredible - easily the best part of our stay.
The only downside was due to uncontrollable circumstances - due to recent poor weather and high water levels, the beach area was unusable for our little ones (toddlers) which was unfortunate as the private beach was the main reason we booked this location - but there were some nice beaches with a 30-minute drive from the cottage which we used.
Dana was wonderful - she always replied promptly and even left a smores kit for us as a welcome present which we enjoyed immensely!
Would definitely recommend - just keep in mind the changing nature of the beach if you have little ones :)
Still a wonderful stay overall!
Absolutely an amazing cottage. The cottage itself was modern, clean and fully stocked. The lake was clean and great for swimming. The whole family had a great time!
We had the best time at the cottage! This was our first vacation into the world since the pandemic began, and I cannot even explain in words how grateful I am to have found this cottage. It was the nature boost we all needed!
A group of best friends joined my husband and I for a week away at the most welcoming cottage we've ever rented. The cottage was immaculate, the collection of cookware and serving ware was perfect (we cooked a lot) and the rooms were all very cozy and comfortable. We had a quiet night at the campfire, morning coffee on the dock and great walks through the amazing autumn colours.
Dana was an amazing host! We had all the information we needed before heading up, and everything was exactly as described. I want to give 1000 stars because 5 doesn't seem like nearly enough.
Many many thanks for a spectacular week away and the best Friendsgiving trip we could have ever imagined.
Dana’s cottage was everything we were looking for. We spent a quiet week enjoying the views from the cottage and dock morning, noon and night. The cottage was spotless and very well equipped.
Looking forward to returning next year. Thank you Dana!!
We enjoyed a week-long, early September family vacation at Dana's cottage that included three generations. Description of the location, cottage and amenities was accurate. The lake was quiet and the undeveloped shoreline adjacent to the cottage was a delight to view from the dock or the deck, providing a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy time together. Thanks Dana for being a great host to our vacation.
Thoughtful owners, immaculately kept cottage on calm lake. Perfect for small children
Exceptionally clean, with an amazing view of the calm glistening lake. Had everything you would expect from a cottage, but so much more. It felt familiar, cozy and our kids loved every minute! We hiked the surrounding area, enjoyed the small sandy beach and pedal boat, canoe and paddle boards. We are so happy to have found this gem and hope to return next year! Thank you!

Why they chose this property
We spent numerous summers at a another cottage on the lake. When one became available we knew that this was the perfect place to own a cottage.
