About this property
Big Yellow House on Lake Couchiching in S. Muskoka & Orillia
The Cape Cod-style home is right on the water and is meant for family enjoyment. (not a party house please) 4 bedrooms, a gorgeous living area and a breathtaking view of the lake! The gorgeous house has an L Shaped dock (in summer) which is great to sit on on a Muskoka chair with a glass of wine to wonders of nature!
Located in Cumberland Beach is a small village just north of Orillia. It is a very 2km drive from the famous Weber’s Burgers and about a 20-minute drive to Casino. From the rear window, you can see the popular Big Chief island.
Come inside to see a fully functional kitchen and large open kitchen space, or sit on the large deck under the umbrella or in the sun and watch the ducks, birds (Blue Jays, Orioles and Hummingbirds) and other wildlife living their best life. At night there is a nice fire pit for your enjoyment.
There is also a gas-powered BBQ with a sitting area outside for nice meals outside.
On rainy days, you can sit inside and enjoy movies or stream from your favourite service on the big screen tv.
Note that our capacity for the house is 8 people. 3 of the bedrooms are upstairs. There is a king-size bed, a queen in the 2nd bdrm. The 3rd bedroom has 2 Queen beds or for those that prefer more privacy, there is a 4th bedroom that has bunk beds on the main floor.
For those that love to swim the water is generally around knee deep for the first 100m and then it drops off. Enjoy the paddle boards, canoe or paddle boat and we encourage you to bring water shoes for the sandy/mushy bottom.
This is a quiet community with neighbours so we do discourage any groups that plan on playing loud music or using the house for any reason other than enjoying the environment.
There are also fruit markets and a local convenience store within walking distance and a boat slip for anyone bringing a boat. For those that plan on using the fire pit, make sure to get some wood on the way up Highway 11!
If you have any other questions please feel free to reach out! We look forward to hosting you!
Finally - we do like to communicate with our potential guests before completing any bookings. So if you are interested please send us a message first and we can answer any questions you may have. Please DO NOT just book the property without having spoken to us first. Thanks!

About the host
Hosted by DJ Kennedy
My family loves cottage life and have been living up in the Orillia area for 20+ years. We are keen to offer the same experience to families and small groups who are looking to enjoy the serenity and wonders of nature.
Why they chose this property
This property was built by my parents who lived there from 1989 until 2022. Instead of selling the property entire we decided to allow others to enjoy it the way that we have. It is truly a family experience.
What makes this property unique
The beautiful house on the water lets you enjoy nature and the beauty of the outdoors! Whether its swimming or fishing in the summer or enjoying the fun of snowbiling and ice fishing in the winter! Lake Couchiching is a top fishing lake in Ontario!
