IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE YOUR STAY <3
Cleaning ======= The cleaning is optional avd very much add-on-able lol. We like to keep our rates as pocket-book friendly as possible, so we ask ya to leave the cottage as you found 'er - in a clean, re-rentable state. Some folks aren't keen to herd everyone into cleaning up so, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have someone else do the bulk of the cleaning for ya, easy peasy. You get a sweet discount if booked in advance (so we have time to line up all our ducks) and the cost depends on your group size:
Wee Barn sweeping (1-6 peeps): regularly $265 +tax or book early for just $165 +tax
Middlin’ Barn Sweeping (7-12 peeps): regularly $395 +tax or book early for just $295 +tax
Biiig Barn Sweeping (7-12 peeps): regularly $495 +tax or book early for just $395 +tax
Indoors ======= • The wi-fi service is high speed, though it's countryside high speed, yee-haw! • As we're out in the boonies without access to city pipes, the water is pumped in directly from the lake. It's triple filtered on the way in though, so she comes out fresh as a daisy. There’s also a handy dandy water crock in the kitchen that takes 18L jugs of bottled water (available at all the grocery stores up here in the boonies, if you want to grab one on the way) • You’ll find 2 full bathrooms + 1 half bathroom • She’s a true vintage Muskoka cottage 💛 - full of charm, stories, and cozy character. Like any old soul, she’s got a few rough edges here and there, but nothing that gets in the way of a good frolic
Outdoors ======= • The lake is shallow by the shore (fab for kids & wading, but not ideal for diving or docking boats) • We keep the shoreline natural with no manicured lawns or heavy alterations. We sort out a six foot area specifically for a toddler wading area, and for the rest we like to leave the vegetation "as she comes" so that the wildlife can make a home in it :) • Quiet, peaceful surroundings. You’ll have nature as yer neighbor 🌲as well as real-life cottage neighbors 🏡. So, while days are for laughter and lakeside fun, we ask that quiet time be respected after hours to keep the good vibes flowing for everyone
Got Questions? ============ Just ping us and we'll give ya the low-down :)
Rates may be higher for larger groups, or on special holidays - give us a shout
Dates scooped? ============= Worry not! We've got two other Muskoka lakeside cottages with similar loveliness - just click our profile picture above for all the details :)
Escapades™ ========== Cottage getaways are much more than just having a roof over our heads - it’s about spending time together, enjoying each other’s company.
Similar to renting skis & snowboards from a mountain lodge, or snorkels & flippers from a tropical resort, bring your cottage experience up a notch by sharing fab Escapades™
Whether you're looking to relax, play or celebrate, there's lots of loveliness to choose from such as karaoke, six foot tall jumbo "jenga", talking telescope, yoga mats & meditation cushions, limbo, treasure hunt, massage chair, giant "twister" for up to 16 peeps & much more. Check 'em out on our website (search the web for Trenanthia Cottage) and we can add 'em on for ya, easy peasy.

Yaaaaaay, this is so lovely to hear, thank you!! 🙌 Wishing you & yours all the very best and hoping the good vibes from your getaway carry you through for a good long while. Come back and see us any time!!
My family made beautiful memories at Cohoots Cottage. The stars were lovely, the space was large and bright - lots of great spots for young ones to hide and play. The volleyball net and games room was a great bonus. So many kayaks, SUPs, canoes and boats - we were all able to spend loads of time on the water, "island hopping," and enjoying the breathtaking views. Nearest town or store is 25 min away. Communication was consistent, quick, and friendly!

Awwwwww, thank you SO much for this!! It's such a gift to hear directly from our guests about how things went, we don't get to enjoy her ourselves very often, so reviews like yours genuinely help us keep on top of what's working. So glad y'all had a wonderful time and we hope to see your smiling faces back up here again someday! 🐸
