Cottage Description
This children-friendly, beautiful cottage with a newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms offers ample space for your family and friends with numerous sleeping arrangement options. The original Scandinavian log home comprises the first part of the cottage, in pristine condition, exuding old Muskoka charm. The Muskoka room offers a beautiful sunset view overlooking the lake.
The addition of the main house offers an open-concept living/kitchen area, which can be a separate living space or opened up to share with the original log home. The two adjoining parts can accommodate a large family for dining, entertainment, and playing games.
Property Features
The cottage is situated on over 4 acres, with 300 feet of west exposure waterfront, offering plenty of space for kids to play and explore. Bass, sunfish, pike, and lake trout fishing can be enjoyed just off the 10-feet dock and the 20-feet floating dock. With a west exposure, you will enjoy sunshine all day. This property offers exceptional privacy with beautiful varying topography of rock outcroppings, a large sandy beach, and shallow water extending out long enough for kids to wade, play, and swim.
Stand-up paddleboards, canoes, and kayaks are available for peddling along the calm, peaceful, crystal-clear waters of Oxbow Lake. The fire pit by the bench, where Muskoka chairs await, lets you experience cottage life, and all seasons offer a spectacular sunset with clear skies of bright northern stars. Three fantastic decks and flagstone pathways meander throughout, providing space to sit back and relax while gazing across the lake. The decks are equipped with outdoor patio tables and BBQ stoves.

| My wife and I were planning to celebrate our 50th anniversary and instead of a large party in a hall , we wanted a place where we could spend a weekend with our children, grandchildren and their spouses. We are from northern Ontario but some of the grandchildren live/work in southern Ontario so we were looking for a central location where nobody would have to travel more than 3 hours. My son searched the internet and found this spot and after viewing the website, we thought it would be perfect. We contacted the owner, Tommy Yin, to discuss the rental. There were no reviews as yet as they had just purchased it that spring so we were a bit hesitant but from Tommy's assurances, we booked it. We were more than 16 but some were prepared to "rough-it" (air mattresses, etc) and Tommy charged a small additional fee for the extra persons.
WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED: everybody loved the site, the cottage,the accommodations, the facilites (fully equiped kitchen, living room, lakefront with paddle boats,firepit, bbq, etc,etc,etc.
We were completed satisfied with our weekend as even though it was early September, we had great weather ,people were able to swim, use the paddle boats, enjoy the firepit in the evenings, etc. On Saturday night which was the exact date of our anniversary, we had a great barbeque supper after which the grandkids entertained us by the firepit with a mock karoake of songs from the 60's . We definitely recommend this place, especially if you are a large group.

| Just returned home after a lovely stay at this cottage. We really loved the set up of this cottage as we have a large family with a few little babies. It was so nice to be able to shut the door between the two living areas so the kids could sleep while the rest of us stayed up without worrying about keeping the noise down.
The walk in beach area was great for little ones. We loved using the paddle boards/canoes.
The owner was great to deal with, very prompt with replies and ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible.
I noticed right away that he had numerous fire/carbon monoxide detectors throughout the house, which was really important to me as a mom.
Overall, this was a great cottage experience and would love to return!
