About this property

The property has been in the same family for over 80 years. The main cottage was built in 1999, an updated boathouse and an A frame sleeping cabin with a sitting area, deck with it's own view of the lake.
The property offers plenty of privacy; we are the last cottage at the end of a
private road sitting on 500’ of frontage and five acres of forest on Lake
Muskoka. PET FRIENDLY
•The property is gently sloped with 2 large docks for parking boats.
•The water is 7 feet deep at the end of the dock, so it is perfect
for swimming.
•All linens are included as well as a cleaning service both
before arrival and at departure.
All of the bedrooms have queen size beds. Two of the bedrooms have an additional twin bed.

•There are two full bathrooms in the main cottage and one full
bathroom in the boathouse.
•The cottage and surrounding area are high speed wireless.
•The tap water is triple filtered and is potable.
•There is a home theatre system including 55 inch LED flat screen and HD
satellite t.v. Close by boat, or car to Bala, Port Carling, Hardy Lake trails, water ski shows, area liquor stores, beer stores, banks/ATM's, and farmer's markets. Close to all boat and sports equipment rentals.

A beautiful slice of the world
Perfectly situated on Acton Island, the location offers everything you could want - privacy, sunlit dock, great swimming and water activities. The cottage is bright and spacious with a terrific kitchen, dining area and family room. Our 2 week stay was a mix of family and friends. The boathouse bedrooms were perfect for the teenagers and the cottage bedrooms and bunkie offered comfort and flexibility. Nearby Bala and Port Carling made shopping and outings easy. And we rented a boat from Beaumaris Marina to get the full Muskoka cottaging experience. Owner JB was very responsive and helpful. Wonderful spot. We hope to be back again soon.
