Spacious cottage with lots of outdoor activities and plenty of amenities to host a large family. My 12 family members had so much fun at this cottage. It is an older cottage with lots of rooms and amenities. In addition to the outdoor water activities and the volley ball net, my family loved that the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots, utensils ect, that can support our entire family. We were even able to cook a full meal for everyone in one huge pot . I would overall recommend a stay at this cottage. I would like mention that it is an older cottage, and some older folks in my group would prefer some updated, senior friendly features (like higher toilets). I would also like to note that guests are required to bring their own towels and beddings.

Love this cottage

My wife and I rented this cottage with our friends for the first time this past weekend, and it definitely won't be the last! The cottage was very spacious for 12 guests. Large bedrooms with lots of beds, but the true showstopper was the upstairs space with a huge kitchen and living room area. Floor to ceiling windows with stunning views of the lake. The lake was possibly the nicest lake we've ever stayed on with a sandy bottom and crystal clear water. The lake is shallow and warm, perfect for the kids. The volleyball court was a huge hit and the hot tub was a bonus. We had the pleasure of meeting the hosts Paul and Diane - great people and easy to communicate with. Overall our trip was a 10/10! Looking forward to our next visit.

Perfect Family Getaway!

This spot made for the perfect weekend with family. We wanted to find a spot to celebrate a family member’s 25th anniversary and it worked out so well. A huge fully stocked kitchen allowed us to make some great meals. The amenities made it so much fun for everyone. The lake was so beautiful and clean. Paul and Diane were great hosts. Would highly recommend!

Spacious, great for multiple families

Beautiful lake front, spacious cottage with everything you could possibly need from ages 3 to 75. Our family made lasting memories from volleyball, swimming, canoe, hot tub to local attractions like Santa’s Village, Taboo golf, wake boarding and much more. We will definitely be returning!

Best experience

Everything about the cottage and the hosts was above expectations. We had so much fun playing beach volleyball, fishing, gathering around the fire and had everything we needed to make great meals. There was lots of activity, toys and a play area for the kids (1-5 years old). The hosts were great to deal with and went beyond what we expected to make our stay memorable. We will be back again next year.

Great family spot

Our family enjoyed the cottage for a week and had a great stay. All the bedrooms are downstairs and stayed cool through the heat wave we had. The beach/waterfront is great for little ones to play and explore. Clearwater Lake is a small but very beautiful lake with great paddling and fishing opportunities. Highly recommended!

Washago Cottage

The property is very large. It was perfect for our family. We enjoyed our weekend sitting by the lake, playing volleyball, bbqing, spending time with family. We loved the hot tub and karaoke. Very close to all amenities and had the opportunity to attend a concert at Rama and a round of golf. Will definitely be booking again next summer.

A lovely spot to connect with our kids and grandkids!! The water was a hit so close and shallow for little ones to enjoy. The volleyball was a hit with the older “kids”. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. Would love to return!!!

Beautiful Place Reasonably Priced

This time we were nine friends and all agreed to take this cottage at Muskoka and we were not disappointed. The owner is very responsive and would go all the way to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The cottage has enough beds to accommodate all with individual bed. It is clean and the lake view is beautiful. Based on the number of people it can take with over all facilities it's well priced. We would not hesitate to go again.

Wonderful family holiday!

We were 3 generations that stayed at this property for the second time. The house is very clean and has all the amenities of home. Great location, right on the water, which is a beautiful clean lake. Close to town. Owners were very easy to communicate with. We all had a great time and hope to go back next year. Thanks for a fabulous family experience and lots of good memories.

The bedrooms and beds, bathrooms, etc. were good. Living area and Kitchen had some issues. The kids enjoyed the lake, canoe, kayak and beach. The lake was perfect for the kids - shallow, clean, and our teenage grandson actually caught his first fish.
