Our very comfortable and well equipped year round vacation property is located in close proximity by road or by boat to the village of Port Carling in Muskoka, considered to be one of Canada's top vacation and golf destinations.

Port Carling, is just over two hours north of Toronto and is referred to as the 'Hub of the Muskoka Lakes' because of its central location connecting the largest of the Muskoka Lakes - Our Lake, Mirror Lake, is the central lake that directly connects the vast waters of Lakes Muskoka, Rosseau and Joseph. From our central location the boating enthusiast can explore hundreds of square miles of outstanding boating upon very pristine and scenic waters.

Our retreat is accessed from a year round paved road into a private 300 foot level driveway. The cottage and large 1500 sq ft wrap-around deck are both on the same level as the driveway. You may drive to within a few feet of the cottage entrance so that guests of all ages, including seniors, have very easy access into the cottage and around the cottage decking from the one level.

On the spacious 2000 square foot main level of the cottage you will find a large, fully equipped kitchen including laundry facilities. The large living room area provides comfortable lounging for all guests. It features a audio/visual entertainment center with large flat screen TV. An assortment of DVDs, games and children's toys are available. The living area has 'wall to wall' windows for a wonderful view overlooking the back deck and the lake. A large dining room with walk out to the deck is located at one end of the cottage. The back deck overlooking the lake has an outdoor dining set for eight and other lounge seating for morning coffee.

Three large bedrooms plus a four piece bathroom are located on the mail level. The Master Bedroom has a second four piece en-suite bathroom and another walkout to the deck. The lower level has an additional two bedrooms. Please see the pictures for views and the bed sizes for each of the 5 bedrooms. A highchair for infants is also available.

The lower level leads outdoors to a outdoor shower (hot & cold water) surrounded by a privacy screen.

The building was designed for year round use. A forced air heating system will handle the coldest winter night while individual room controlled electric heat may be all you need on those frosty autumn evenings.

The lovely property is almost three acres in size and about 75% covered with towering oak, maple, white birch and pine. The rest is grass covered. A valley and stream run up one side of the property. From the cottage several stairs lead you down to a grass covered area which is then level down to the lake and firepit area (firewood supplied!).

At lakeside, a southern exposure brings full sunlight during the day and pleasant shade in the late afternoon. The deck at lakeside projects partly out into the lake where the stream enters from the valley.

The lakeside deck connects to a 50' fixed dock with an additional 18' attached floating dock at the end. Water at the floating dock is about 3'-4' deep to dock 2 boats up to about 25'. This is an ideal location for all water sports. A kayak, 3-seat canoe, 4-seat paddleboat and a float raft anchored about 50' offshore in about 7' of water are available. Kids (and adults too!) love to swim out and lounge on the raft. While at the dock you may see the oldest operating steamer in North America, the 'Segwun' steam by on a passenger cruise.

Guests with a boat will find conditions excellent for wakeboarding and water skiiing. Take a tour of spectacular Lake Muskoka or cruise up into Port Carling where you can dock at the extensive free town docking to explore the village shops and restaurants. Then proceed through the town locks into the beautiful Indian River and then into the crystal clear waters of Lakes Rosseau and Joseph. For the avid fisherman, the area has some of Ontario’s best fishing. (Boat rentals are close by and for those with their own boat, a free boat launching ramp is five minutes from the cottage).

If you have wee ones, take them to the wonderful Hanna Park beach and children's playground just minutes from the cottage by boat or car. Or take them to Santa’s Village in Bracebridge. They will love both!

Muskoka will allow you to enjoy all four Canadian seasons -

Spring and summer mean swimming, kayaking, boat tours, fishing, golfing on one of the many top courses in the area, exploring Muskoka, hiking in the wonderful algonquin park region, or just relaxing on the dock. Autumn brings Indian Summer, morning mists, harvest moons, and North America's most spectacular fall colors (Fall colors begin in mid September and run through mid October). Winter offers ice fishing, snowshoeing and access to thousands of kilometers of groomed snowmobile trails just minutes away.
