Situated on a unique point of land in Muskoka, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Muskoka cottage rental captures the essence of lakeside living. As you walk in, the roomy living area is framed by large windows, giving a full view of Lake Joseph. Soft comfortable seating and a cozy wood burning fireplace make it a great spot to relax. And for some friendly competition, there’s a Foosball game ready to play.
Upstairs, the loft offers more space to sit and sleep, plus a quiet dedicated work space for those times you need it.
While the cottage has a traditional feel, it’s been updated with some handy features. The kitchen comes fully equipped, making meals easy. A washer and dryer are on hand for laundry needs.
For entertainment, there’s unlimited Wi-Fi, 2 TVs with Bell satellite, and a standard DVD player.
Outside, the wrap around deck is perfect for enjoying the fresh air and the lake view. The property boasts two docks: one that's shaded and another floating dock that enjoys all-day sun. With ladders on both, hopping in and out of the water is a breeze. The cottage sits on 500' of bedrock, which adds to its peaceful, natural surroundings.
In the evening, the propane fire bowl is a great spot for stories and stargazing.
Location-wise, it’s just 10 minutes from Mactier and 20 minutes from Port Carling. And if you’re coming from the city, it’s a little over 2 hours from Toronto, so, if you’re looking for a traditional Muskoka getaway with all the comforts of home, this cottage has got you covered.
