About this property

Historic Lake Rosseau - Family Friendly

Newly renovated 6 bedroom year round property featuring southern exposure and a gentle slope to the lake. Walkout from kitchen to a large screened in porch and wrap-around deck. There is a living room, family room, dining room and full bath on the first floor and laundry in basement. The second level features 5 large bedrooms (all queen size beds) and a full bath. The top floor is a wide open loft perfect for additional sleeping quarters (queen size bed) for larger groups or a place for the kids to play. The cottage sits on a level lot and has a sandy shoreline (the gentle entry is perfect for children). There is a large camp fire area with several muskoka chairs and two separate driveways affording plenty of parking for large groups. This property is part of the original Thorel House Resort and still captures all of its historic charm and character.

There is a TV in the family room with satellite as well as a playstation/dvd player and movie/video game collection. There is a second TV in the loft equipped with a DVD player -- a perfect spot for the kids to watch a movie. Rental includes use of hobie cat, canoe, swim platform, life jackets and sand toys. There is also a crib in one of the rooms and a high chair available for use, as necessary. There is also a bbq available for use.

The cottage is conveniently located just down the road (5 min drive) to SWS Marina, JW Marriott Rosseau Resort & Spa. SWS Marina offers boat and personal watercraft rentals and is home to Abbey's bakehouse and a number of pop-up shops. Also just down the street (5 min drive) is world class golf at The Rock, a Nick Faldo designed course.

Beautiful lakefront oasis
I stayed here with my husband and family at the end of May/beginning of June and could not have had a better experience! The property was immaculate, the dock and view of the lake were beautiful, and it truly felt like paradise there. Brian was very easy to communicate with and we could tell the property was well loved and cared for. My family and I will 100% be coming back to this place again and we encourage everyone to see the magic for themselves!

Wonderful place for a cottage getaway
We had an amazing weekend getaway with our family of 12. The place is clean, well equipped, and had plenty of indoor or and outdoor activities to keep everyone busy. We loved our stay and would love to visit again. Brian was very kind and generous, he was also very quick to respond to our questions. I highly recommend this cottage for your next family vacation.

The perfect getaway for six women of a certain age
It was clean, spacious, cozy and very well equipped with all the amenities. We each had our own bedroom to retreat to when we needed to, away from the others on the lovely dock or on the beautiful deck. The kitchen allows for lots of cooking, the tv room is comfortable and the dining room is perfect for larger gatherings. The grounds are well cared for and easily accessible. It was a memorable and fun time.

Great time
We had a great time at the cottage. It is a beautiful cottage with lots of space and great location. We unfortunately didn't have the best weather, but were still able to get outdoors and enjoy the water and outdooora at times. The cottage has all the amenities you will need. Hopefully one day we will be able to return.

Perfect cottage for a large family vacation
A perfect cottage for a large family. We were 11 adults aged 23 to 83. We were all able to find our own space if we wanted some privacy because the layout of the cottage. The shallow water made it easy to play water games and the fire pit was perfect for evening gatherings. I would highly recommend this cottage.

Getaway
Brian’s cottage was absolutely perfect for myself and some friends to get away for the weekend. It’s exactly as listed, the view is breathtaking. It’s such a peaceful area with lots of activities to do. Brian always replied in a timely manner, and as a bonus we were pleasantly greeted by a bottle of wine and a lovely note. I would highly recommend staying at this cottage. You will not be disappointed!

Great stay
Great cottage for my wife, myself and our 3 year old son. Place was clean and had plenty of kids toys. The outside property and shallow water around the dock gave us piece of mind for our little guy playing outside. Overall great trip and hope to be back again soon. Thanks for letting us stay here.

We enjoyed the cottage very much. We especially likes the fact that there was plenty of seating for all of us (6 adults). The dining room was large as well & could seat 8-10 people comfortably. The view of Lake Rosseau is spectacular. We enjoyed the outside as much as the inside. Again, lots of places to sit & relax & enjoy the view.

Perfect Family Vacation
Ideal for all ages. The shallow water in the large sandy bay is great for small children and for adults alike. The property provides all the amenities required for a fabulous holiday including many water "toys" (including Hobie Cat), shade with the umbrellas on the deck, the playground set with slide and swings, a well stocked kitchen with all the gadgets. Cottage experience highlights included "dock time" (on the dock and in the water) and family meals on the deck and in the Muskoka room. Brian is a gracious and helpful host.

Lovely lake front cottage.
Beautiful lake and cottage. The lake front cottage is beautifully situated with breath taking views in a quiet neighbourhood. The cottage has an open and an enclosed deck and a dock on the lake. There are plenty of outdoor equipment, 2 large BBQs, plenty of lounge chairs with large umbrellas on the dock with non-motorized activities. There are dining tables and chairs on the open and enclosed decks. The owner, Brian, has thought of everything to provide an enjoyable family stay. Inside the cottage was like the home away from home with all you need and want with games and an attic well equipped for kids stay. Cottage is located close by to stores, restaurants and trails. Also, don’t miss the sun set view from the Huckleberry Rock Lookout, which is less than half hour drive away. Give time to climb the rock as the climb is steep but it is worth the climb.
