Muskoka Cottage Living

Look no further. This rustic generational cottage on beautiful Mary Lake can sleep up to 6 people comfortably, and allows you to enjoy all the beauty of Muskoka from a very desirable and convenient location between Huntsville and Port Sydney. If you are looking for a relaxing week in Muskoka, watching the deer or wild turkey walk by while you are drinking your morning coffee … look no further!

Some details about our cottage –
Bedrooms - There are three bedrooms. The master bedroom is equipped with a brand new king size bed, which has direct access onto the deck. The second bedroom has two single beds. The third bedroom has a unique flare – it is a separate access guest suite that has a queen size bed and a set of bunk beds which looks out directly onto the firepit. This suite is great if there are multiple families sharing the rental, which gives you some added privacy throughout your stay. Please ensure to supply your own linens and towels.

Living / Bathroom - There is one full bathroom, as well as full laundry available. The bathroom is brand new, equipped with top of the line fixtures so you don't miss any of the comforts of home. There is a woodstove, along with Laz-Z-Boy furniture for your comfort. WiFi and Bell Satellite are available. A Napoleon barbecue is on site for your use as well as a Kuraig Coffee maker that takes pods or will make a pot of coffee from grounds.

Water Access – the water access directly across from this cottage with a perfect hard sandy bottom for swimming, which is a shared access. There is no dock available for mooring a boat, but day use is available in Port Sydney. Port Sydney beach is also very close by and has a beautiful beach, docks and launch for day use of boats. Alternatively, Arrowhead Provincial Park is also close by with great amenities for day use.

Firepit – there is an area for having those great campfire memories. On site, there are 6 brand new adirondack chairs for your use. We advise all renters to bring their own firewood, and enjoy the fire responsibly. Should you not want to cook over the open fire, there is a BBQ on site for your use.

The location of the cottage couldn't be better. It is 5 minutes off Hwy 11, close to Huntsville, Port Sydney and Bracebridge. Take a drive into Port Sydney and enjoy their public beach, or take a ride down the rock falls! Head into Huntsville for dinner out, and come back to the cottage for s'mores!

If I haven't answered all your questions, please feel free to message me. We want all of our cottagers to have the best experience, so answering all your questions beforehand is very important to us.

Family vacation
My family and I stayed for a week. The over all cleanliness of the cottage was ok. There was a problem in the primary bedroom with mouse droppings, they were everywhere including on the bed. My daughter in law dealt with it and cleaned the room. The water was yellow but cleared a bit after a few days. The cottage is close to several amenities. The water access was not ideal for small children.

The cutest little cottage
My family and I enjoyed a lovely weekend here. The kids loved playing outside, exploring and the water access was just across the street. Public beach within a short drive and about 30 minutes from Santa's Village. We loved it here and will definitely plan on coming back 😊

Beautiful area , could be cleaner, water yellow
The area is beautiful & cottage as described. Could be cleaner - some hair, dusty bathroom counter, popcorn on floor. Biggest concern was the yellow water- like really yellow. Emailed homeowner to ask if it was safe to even cook with or bathe in, with no response . We had to go out and buy bottled water for cooking and drinking. Keurig didn’t work , which meant the coffee pot didn’t either. Also the baseboard heaters didn’t heat well- make sure you take wood for wood stove if it’s cold out. We enjoyed our time, but likely wouldn’t choose this one again unless water issue was fixed .

Perfect location
This quaint cottage was in a perfect location, close to everywhere you'd want to be in the Huntsville area. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms were spacious. The outdoor space was lovely and we enjoyed a lot of time out on the deck. The area was quiet and peaceful. Overall, enjoyed this location.

Lovely stay, minor hiccups
The property is very beautiful and well located. The amenities are good as advertised, except for the barbecue that was very dirty and its propane tank that was empty. The owner answered my questions about this and reimbursed us for refilling the tank. The shower and beds are very good. The access to the lake is steep, but manageable; you need to carry chairs and drinks, and the space is very limited (3 people max). We used one of the canoes multiple times. Carrying it up and down to the lake can be done by two fit people. We are very sensitive to smells, so we were happy that this place was clean and did not have any mold. Will definitely come back!

Not good for families - Beware!
Stayed here for one week with husband and 4 kids. Mouse droppings on the kitchen counters and in cupboards on arrival. Cleaner had to return for mess thru out the house. Pots and pans rusted and dented unusable. Bbq wouldn’t light. Stove smoked out the house when lit. Coffee maker full of mold. MICE ran thru the living room and kitchen all night. Host said he wasn’t aware of mouse problem but multiple traps under kitchen sink. We had to set them up and trapped multiple mice. Husband had to take our disabled son home early after multiple nights of him not sleeping due to the stress of the mice infestation. House smells of wet dog and urine. Water access was not suitable and pictures are not of what it looks like currently and had to drive to public beach daily as we didn’t want to be in the house with all the mice everyday. Would not rent again!!! Host was made aware of issue and resent the cleaner said he would check in with us at end of the week. No follow up after this terrible week. This was our one trip this summer and this house was not for families. This house has been partied out and not set up for families. Everything is dirty and We feel ripped off and disappointed. This rental cost us eating out more then we wanted too and lots of gas as we had to drive to an actual beach we could hang out at. We spent all our summer vacation budget on this house and we’re left with 4 disappointed kids.

Fall colour escape
The cabin was very clean and tidy. The kitchen very well stocked with everything you would need for cooking meals. Beds were very comfortable. However, lighting in the living, dining and kitchen was poor. I am an avid reader and enjoy a good book when away from home. Due to the lighting I could not read. A reading light and also a table lamp in the living room would be nice. Another area was the security cameras on the outside of the house. It was very intimidating to sit out on the deck knowing there was a camera on us. Therefore we did not wish to sit out there. We were only advised of the cameras after having booked the cabin. The listing should also make people aware to bring their own water.

Needs more updating!!!
Definitely not the owners fault for the weather. The place was small in the living area. Bedrooms a good size. Nice bathroom. There is still a lot of finishing work that needs to be done. Furniture could be updated. A gazebo over the picnic table. It’s nice and quiet. We had to bring our own bedding which was a hassle. Toilet was plugged but a plumber was called in quickly. Plumber said the toilet is not the proper toilet for the area. If the place was updated it would have been a live stay!!

Charming little cottage
This was exactly what we needed! We cozied up to a campfire, lounged in the living room, enjoyed an early morning coffee on the deck, and we utilized the kitchen space for several meals. The kitchen was fully equipped which was lovely and the bathroom was clean, providing a refreshing, hot shower every morning. Overall It was clean and inviting, quite charming really. I would stay there again. A few things to fix : I hope the hallway light gets fixed along with the fan in the secondary bedroom, (we were disappointed to be down a fan at night.) Also, a couple of the windows are broken, and that was a pain finding that out. Holly D
