The cottage is on a double lot with 265 feet of water frontage. The rock point on the adjoining lot provides our guests with more space and more privacy than many cottages in the area.

• the cottage is in the lee of a hill protecting it from the north winds, so while our across-the-lake neighbours are donning their sweaters we’re still running around in our Ts and shorts

• gas barbecue and small fire pit (don’t forget your marshmallows)

• large deck overlooking the lake with an outdoor dining table. Our guests have told us they eat all of their meals out there, which doesn’t surprise us because we do too, enjoying some great summer fare along with the great view

• large 12 ft wide X 44 ft long dock

• sandy walk-in shoreline—great for kids

• flat lawns and rock flower gardens

• very few stairs and no steep slopes—ideal for kids, or grandparents

• close to the end of a dead-end road, so there is only local traffic making it quieter and safer

• Muskoka Island’s amenities are for use by Island Residents/Guests and include: walking trails, a basketball half court, a baseball diamond back stop, a playing field (soccer, frisbee, etc.), picnic tables, BBQ, and a gazebo

• watercraft: a canoe, a kayak, and a paddle board

• fishing tackle and tips to catch them

The JW Marriott (The only 4.5 star hotel in Northern Ontario) is 4 kilometres away. Far enough away they are not a bother. Close enough you can be there in a 5 minute car ride to enjoy fine dining or a massage at the spa. There are too many golf courses to name within thirty minutes, several within ten minutes.
