About this property

Muskoka Cottage on Small Bay with access to large lake

Very private cottage on a small bay of a much larger lake. Only one neighbor, surrounded by crown land. Main cottage has one master bedroom with king bed, newly renovated bathroom with shower and laundry, kitchen including a small dishwasher, dining room, and living room. Bunkie has two bedrooms each with a queen bed, as well with a half-bathroom. Access to the water both from the dock and from the sandy beach. Living room has a pull-out couch to accommodate more guests. Guests can enjoy satellite TV as well as a collection of DVDs and boardgames on those rare rainy days (we also provide an hdmi cable should you want to bring a computer with your own movies and tv shows).

Guests coming with kids can enjoy the sandy beach which is shared with our single neighbour (our family). There is a platform which you can swim to to jump off of, and we also have 2 canoes, 2 kayaks, and 2 paddle boards which you may use at your own responsibility (paddles included, please bring life jackets). If you have any dogs, please feel free to bring them along! Our two pups, love running around the 2 acres of property.

With a private driveway, and close access to Mactier complete with a grocery store, hardware store and LCBO you will always have those necessities near at hand. Further, with little traffic, there is excellent terrain for walks with your entire family. Port Carling is also only a 40 minute drive away, with many shops and restaurants - enjoy a day out experiencing the Muskoka culture. If you would like some nightlife, you can visit the same Port Carling, or travel only 10 minutes further to Bala, both with excellent bars and clubs.

Our property is very picturesque, with the cottage sitting directly on the Canadian Shield, and over 650 ft of waterfront. Enjoy breakfast as the sun comes up over the bay, surrounded by crown land. Or sip your morning coffee from the peacefulness of the Muskoka chairs by the lake. On a clear night, the stars are phenomenal, influenced by no light pollution. When it starts to get a little chilly, or you just want to roast some marshmallows, feel free to make use of either our outdoor fire pit near the water or our outdoor, antique wood stove where you can safely enjoy a fire with your family and friends (subject to local fire regulations).

About the host

Hosted by Jessica McCabe

Host profile image

I grew up going to the cottage next door, which my grandparents still own to this day. My husband and I live in Kitchener. We met each other at Queen's University, where we earned a math degree together. I now work in commercial real estate well he works in FinTech. We have 2 dogs named George and Charlie, who enjoy the cottage as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property off of my grandparents, who own the cottage next door, which is the only neighbor. Owning this cottage allows us to enjoy an area that I have been going to since I was born. Now, we can share this space with my husband's family, as well as our guests!

What makes this property unique

The cottage property faces South - West, allowing for all-day sun exposure on different parts of the property and the view of a beautiful sunset every evening, from perfectly positioned Muskoka chairs. The sandy beach is perfect for smaller children, as well the swimming dock allows for older kids (and adults) to have fun jumping into the water. Being on the bay means that it is quiet, but the large lake allows for boating.
