ABOUT SKELETON LAKE
Known as 'Muskoka's Best Kept Secret', in the heart of Muskoka, Skeleton Lake offers sandy swimming coves, great fishing, water sports, hiking and warm summer sunsets.
Skeleton Lake is one of the largest. It has a circumference of about 25 miles and has been called the clearest lake in Canada. Unlike most of the area lakes, which are souvenirs of the glacial age, Skeleton is believed to have formed as a result of a meteorite impact. Being a spring-fed lake, it is very, very clear and on calm days one can easily see down to depths of 20 or more meters.
There is much to explore. A short distance around the lake is hiking trails, a waterfall, children's camp and shallow public beach with picnic tables. Fishing is great: summer or in winter
SURROUNDING AREA:
Out and about, Arrowhead and Algonquin Parks offer more nature to those who can't get enough. The town of Huntsville is itself a huge art gallery, with Group of Seven murals hung on more than 20 buildings in the area. Golfers will want to spend a day at Diamond in the Ruff, Deerhurst Highlands or Deerhurst Lakeside. Anglers might be interested in spending a day at Lake Vernon with a Hooked Young fishing tour. Check out the program at the Algonquin Theatre during your stay, although if it's something you want to see, it's best to buy your tickets well in advance. In winter, snowmobiling and cross country skiing are at your doorstep, and Hidden Valley Ski Club is just 25 km away.

REVIEWS | | Jodie |  |
| Our stay was absolutely amazing, Jamie's cottage is clean, cozy, comfortable and well equipped with amenities. We started our days by using the paddle boards/kayak and ended them by watching the sunset on the dock. We loved spending our nights by the fire and using the hot tub. Can't wait to make an annual trip out of this location!

| What a wonderful spot! The cottage was beautiful and clean! We also thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, especially on the days when the weather wasn't as nice. Loved kayaking on the lake and hiking the trail close by to see the waterfall. My only criticism was lack of storage in the cottage itself. We enjoyed the views, the quietness, and listening to all the birds.

| Our family spent one week at this cottage, and it was beautiful. Skeleton Lake is so peaceful, serene, and clear. This is our fourth time visiting, and our second time at this college. Jamie was fantastic at keeping connected with us for anything we needed. The cottage itself is immaculate and modern. I highly recommend.

| We were really satisfied with our cottage rental here on Skeleton Lake. As promised the lake water is clear and clean -the sand shore makes walking and swimming easy from the dock. We had a small motor boat which was easily moored to their dock and they had plenty of chairs for us to enjoy the sunshine+breezes.
The communication was excelllent with our host and our damage deposit returned prompltly. The cottage itself was comfortable and well laid out for a rental. Beds comfortable, couches new leather and the large dining table meant the 8 adults and one toddler could eat together at the same time. The kitchen was really suitable for us. As all of our meals were prepared there so we needed fridge space for drinks and meals. The dishwasher was a nice bonus so that we always had plenty of plates/bowls and cutlery.
The two Bathrooms were a plus for us, as was the laundry that was available.
We used the hot tub once per day and it was clean + cozily warm.
Around the property we enjoyed daily walks (sometimes to the marina for ice cream) and biked the nearby roads around three mile lake loop and around lake Roseau as well. The falls, at fish hatchery road were wonderful to swim under. We boated around the many bays and islands of skeleton, noting some crown land which you could picnic to and a cliff with tough rock climbing routes. The neighbours were friendly and quiet and we were able to park three cars across the road.
