About this property

4 Bedroom Sanctuary on North Muldrew Lake, Privacy In Muskoka, Gravenhurst, ON

A wonderful lakeside cottage with far reaching, southwest views and total privacy on Muldrew Lake in the Muskoka region of Ontario.

Four key features to look for in a Muskoka cottage rental (hint: we offer all four!):

1/ Exposure - Southwest exposures offering full sun right to sunset and fewer bugs (as the southwest prevailing winds blow them off the dock).

2/ Location - many cottage renters hide the fact that their cottage is located on an un-assumed, pot-holed road, many kilometres from the nearest town. A cottage on a town-maintained, paved road, that is close to town offers ultimate convenience.

3/ Vista - a cottage with sweeping vistas, especially from on high, can be a glorious way to enjoy Muskoka Lakes.

4/ Privacy - Experienced cottagers know that a rental scenario is best enjoyed when you don't have tiny cottage lots with noisy neighbours all jammed together in a congested area, where guests are forced to listen to each others conversations and music.

This wonderful Muskoka property, located on pristine Muldrew Lake, (5 minutes from Gravenhurst, in the heart of Muskoka), offers a unique blend of nature, vistas, location, an ideal exposure, comfort and privacy.

Come and enjoy the fresh air, colours, peacefulness and nature that Muskoka offers! To avoid disappointment, book early to reserve your preferred time slot.

For the 2 most popular summer months, July & August, our rental weeks run from Saturday 3 pm until the following Saturday at noon. (Sometimes we vary from that plan to accommodate our guests.).

Our cottage is a cozy 4-bedroom family cottage is decorated with cottage appeal. The dining room, living room and kitchen are together with two exits to Muskoka and our front and back decks. There are four bedrooms, two of which have two single beds (singles can be moved together into one king sized bed), one bedroom has a queen bed and the other has a bunk bed. Our lot is unusually large (3 acres!) with 600 feet of frontage (joined by a 66 foot right of way). This offers extraordinary privacy from the neighbours on both sides.

The deck overlooks Muldrew Lake and, with perfect southwest exposure, our spectacular sunsets can best be enjoyed from the dock. Our deck includes a brand new BBQ and a patio suite for outside dining. There are a couple of kayaks and a small rowboat, popular with those who like to fish. Fish in the lake include mostly small-mouthed bass, pan fish (sunfish and rock bass), catfish and the elusive pike.

Come and enjoy our spacious 20 x 10 dock. The exposure is southwest so you get full sun all day long and the sun sets from the dock are amazing.

The lot is reasonably level (for Muskoka) and there is a spot for evening bon fires and a marshmallow roast, should you be so inclined. You might want to cook up a feast for the family in the well-equipped kitchen before dining al fresco on the lake side deck or take a leap off the jumping rocks, situated a short swim from our dock.

In the summer, the lake is very much enjoyed by boaters on the weekends, and on Sunday night as the rush to get back to the city begins, a peaceful hush descends on the lake and the wildlife really comes out.

We're In Muskoka's Heartland!

There is a shallow, gently-sloped sandy area for the little ones and deep water off the main dock. Have fun on the water with our canoe or kayaks (with paddles). There's plenty of room to park your boat on the 8 x 20 foot floating dock, if you are planning on bringing or renting a boat.

Please note that in the high season, which runs from the last week of June until the end of August, we require a one week minimum rental period.

Great vacation
We stayed at Ted’s cottage the week of June 18th. We had 4 adults and a 2 year old with us. The cottage is cute and Cozy. The beds were cozy, and the cottage was filled with all the essentials. The outside screen in gazebo was wonderful for hot evenings, to be outside but have an area to be protected from the bugs. The lake was beautiful, we spent a lot of time on the dock. Ted had lots of items to enjoy the lake with, floating pad, kayaks, noddles etc. Up at the cottage Ted had a plastic pool we were able to fill up and use for our little one. There’s lots of cliffs, and steep drop offs, so close eyes are needed for young ones. The cottage is very close to gravenhurst which was great for heading into town to pick something up. We had a wonderful relaxing time.

Great getaway place.
Ted was very helpful from the moment we arrived explaining where and what to do. Very peaceful sitting down on the dock after hard rounds of golf. Would definitely return again.
