Fun in the sun.
Francine and Rob are the best!! I love this cottage and such a wonderful location. All day sun. The top of the boathouse is my favourite place. Lots to do for adults and children. My 3rd year renting

Lovely cottage for the family
The cottage was just as described. Very bright, extremely clean and nicely decorated. The owners met us upon arrival and showed us around. They were very nice and seemed genuinely excited to have us at their cottage. The Muskoka room and deck on the boat house are a wonderful place to hang out and enjoy the weather and view of the lake. The owners have put in a water trampoline, lily pad and launch zone which were a lot of fun for us all. The water was nice and warm. The neighbours are quite close but were respectful, helpful and pleasant. It seems like a great community of cottagers at this spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

Wonderful stay
A great little gem in Muskoka. I rented there last year and came back for 2 more weeks this year. I love the dock , the upstairs deck and sitting area, and the indoor screened in top of the boathouse. New umbrellas and bbq’s are a real plus this year. Lots of water activities, sand area and great 2 story playhouse for children and grandchildren . A real find.

Relaxing getaway on beautiful Lake Muskoka
This cottage is truly a gem. It was as advertised: Neat, clean, tidy, everything in working order. It is a beautiful location on a fabulous lake about 20 mins from Gravenhurst for shopping/dining etc. The property is lovely both inside and out with comfortable indoor and outdoor lounging areas. The upper indoor/outdoor patio by the boathouse was a special favourite of our family. It is a great place for a peaceful, relaxing, family getaway. We would recommend renting a motorized water craft from Muskoka Boat Rentals in Gravenhurst for some added fun and a chance to tour the other spectacular cottages on the lake. The hosts are lovely and clearly have paid a lot of attention to details at their property. The only thing that was a bit confusing was the VRBO/Fiddlehead Properties communication e-mails which seemed to come from different people each time, at first leaving us wondering who actually owned and managed the place. Francine explained this to us and they seem to be working on correcting the automated communications. None of this impacted our stay, however, and it was nice to have Francine there to show us around upon our arrival. The only other item I would mention (which is not a show stopper) is that the gas fire pits were difficult to get lighted. We would highly recommend choosing this property as a vacation option for a family of 4-6!

Why they chose this property

No where in the world can you experience the breath taking views while feeling you are at home away from home. This gem of a cottage with a spectacular boathouse is everything you could want in a cottage, from the proximity to the water (a stone throw away), a gradual slope to the water, a large boathouse with a huge amount of deck space, perfect for relaxing with friends, and docking space for boat parking. In addition, this cottage is located on a very quiet dead end street so traffic and noise is minimal.
