Living full time in Bermuda, my husband and I longed for a cold and snowy Thanksgiving vacation. After searching thru so many listings in Canada, we discovered this gem on Lake Muskoka Ontario. We have traveled all over the world and stayed in some unique and luxurious properties, but this private glass home far exceeded our recent vacations. The pictures were accurate and they depicted the home's beauty and design....which is a very trendy mix of contemporary and rustic. The glass walls seemed to drink in the nature all around us. Huge dining table, two wonderful cozy fireplaces, flat screen tv, sonos sound piped thru ceiling speakers, and a fully stocked chefs kitchen. A special treat was to wake up to a gentle snowfall on Thanksgiving morning, knowing we would have a beautiful holiday in a warm home with amazing views on this scenic lake, enjoying cooking football and wine! And as fervent travelers, it was great to fly all that way and have everything clean and in working order. Ann and Tom certainly take pride and great care of their "cottage," and we vacationers get to benefit from that.....stress free and quiet. The location was ideal in that it was tucked into the woods for long hikes, yet close to an adorable village named Bracebridge which reminded us of Lake Placid with all its craft stores, high end shoppes, and cozy restaurants. The people there are super friendly and helpful. Days trips were a breeze from the house, our favorite being a snowy drive thru the Algonquin Provencial Park. All in all, we loved the entire experience and especially coming back to this jewel on the lake. One place where we actually looked forward to going to bed under the stars and waking up in the trees.
One last question: is this place for sale? Wow, we wish it were ours!
