About this property

Beautiful 5bd cottage w/ panoramic views of Lake Vernon; minutes from Huntsville

Enjoy all that Muskoka has to offer at this beautiful lakefront property on Lake Vernon, just outside the town of Huntsville.

KJM Muskoka offers 4 bedrooms (plus an office/bedroom with queen pullout), 5 bathrooms, a fully-renovated chef’s dream of a kitchen, three fireplaces including a floor-to-ceiling Muskoka stone fireplace in the main room and a gas fireplace in the master bedroom, a screened in Muskoka room for your bug-free enjoyment, a gradual-entry real-sand beach for easy access into the water, and a two-floor boathouse with magazine-perfect panorama views of the lake.

Sitting in a picturesque Muskoka setting, the cottage is 2 hours from Toronto (less from the north suburbs), and only 10 minutes from the town of Huntsville.
The 4-season cottage boasts all the charm of a traditional cedar log cabin, yet includes the modern amenities you’d expect from a high-end rental property, including: top-line appliances (fridge, gas range, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer), a 65” big-screen tv, GOOD wifi, ceiling fans in all upstairs rooms (for the hot summer days), an energy efficient wood stove (for the cold winter nights), a cedar plank sauna and indoor jacuzzi tub, and a King-size bed in the master suite.

The top floor of the cottage includes the kitchen, a living area with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and three of the bedrooms down a separate hallway. Two of the upstairs bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. Downstairs offers a second entertainment space, an office with desk and pull-out sofa, the screened in Muskoka room, the sauna and a large master suite with its own fireplace and walkout deck. There is an outdoor fire pit area off the muskoka room which is the perfect spot to roast marshmellows and enjoy the view.

The lake itself is crisp and clean. Lake Vernon is a beautiful, large lake that makes up one of four lakes that connects over 40km of water. With a hard-packed sand bottom close to shore, and deeper water for jumping at the end of the dock, it offers summer fun for the whole family. A canoe and kayak are available for your enjoyment for use on the lake.

There are practically endless seating options around the cottage property with great vantage points of the lake, including a deck off the main floor, a 2nd private deck off the master suite, and a fully-enclosed room on the 2nd floor of the boathouse with a cute bar area and a couch to lounge on. But truthfully, when you aren’t in the lake, you’re most likely going to be spending the majority of your time on the 2nd floor boathouse deck. The lake-view pictures we’ve included in the photos were mostly taken from that deck…in the summer months, with the sunset falling behind the treeline, it’s stunning.

Despite the idyllic setting, we’re only 10 minutes from the center of Huntsville (by car – you can also walk along a river path to town within 45 minutes, and can even canoe right into the downtown docks within 30 minutes). If you are looking for a trip away from the lake (or from cooking), head into town and take a stroll up and down the main street, where there are cute restaurants, breweries, shops, and ice cream parlours. For those looking for more exploring and adventure check out some of the following: Arrowhead Provincial Park which is only a 15 minute drive away, offering hiking trails in the summer, and an outdoor skating rink and snow tubing in the winter; Algonquin National Park is also only 30 minutes away offering incredible hiking, camping and canoeing. Hidden Valley ski hill offers winter fun for the whole family and is only 15 minutes away. For the golf enthusiasts there are several courses nearby. Your days can be filled with endless activity or endless relaxation. The choice is yours.

If you are looking to experience Muskoka at its best, this cottage has what you are looking for. We would love to welcome you to stay, relax and enjoy at KJM Muskoka.

Best,
Matt and Jor

A Canadian Experience!
Since the pandemic my family and I had an overdue family vacation. Mathew was super helpful on helping me plan such a great weekend getaway for my family. The cottage is everything my family needed. The peace, the lake, the activities provided at the cottage. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed! It was such a warm and lovely experience. They were so kind to gift us maple syrup that we used for our pancakes in the morning! Thank you so much! Best wishes from the Dey Family

Family Reunion
Matt and Jordan's KJM Muskoka cottage was a huge hit with our group of 4 teens and 6 adults. Everyone had space to do their own thing; read a book, watch a movie, play a board game, enjoy the water etc. And ample room when everyone came together for outdoor dinners on the deck, or sunset cocktails and outdoor movie nights down at the boathouse. The cottage is equipped with everything one could need and then some. The large well equipped kitchen was always a hub of activity when preparing meals and the large bbq made bbq'ing for a large group a breeze. I've rented several cottages and this by far has been the best experience for our diverse group of family members visiting from England, France and Toronto for a wedding. They were all treated to a truly Canadian cottage experience. The bedrooms were tastefully decorated with cottage charm; ample bathrooms for everyone, excellent water pressure and hot water. Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. The location was also ideal for our group with downtown Huntsville minutes away for groceries and tourist shopping, not to mention Huntsville Downs golf course which was in great condition. Algonquin Park for a day hike in search of moose, and Parry Sound an hr drive for a boat cruise to Henry's on Fryingpan Island for lunch. Finally, with its west facing location, the stunning sunsets made for beautiful family photos which will no doubt end up in picture frames and on mantles. Be aware there are stairs leading up from the boathouse to the terraced garden and cottage which might be a challenge for those with mobility issues. For the anglers and water lovers, the canoe, kayak and paddle boards were a hit, and we successfully caught bass and a pike, but of course there's always the big one that got away! Matt's communication was very helpful during the entire process. The cottage manual is detailed and well thought out. He checked in on our arrival to make sure all was well and even helped with the return of a pair of prescription sunglasses that were left behind. For those looking for a comfortable cottage, with ample room for everyone, great amenities, location and spectacular sunset views, you'll love Matt and Jordan's KJM Muskoka.

Amazing place !
The property was a perfect place for our group to enjoy. Clean, spacious, comfortable for 8 adults. The views of the sunsets over Lake Vernon are breath taking. The firepit, Kayaks and canoes were available for use and everything is exactly as in the property description. Communication with Matthew was excellent. There was a small electrical problem and was resolved within 24 hours. Will stay here again!

Great stay!
Went on a short golf getaway and stayed here for 2 nights. 4 bedrooms and 4 bedrooms were great! The pictures don’t lie and the view of the lake is spectacular. Too bad we couldn’t stay longer to enjoy the sauna and the boat house but we will definitely be back with our families!

Matt was easy to deal with and very accommodating. He checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage was recently updated and had everything you could need and more for a cottage stay. Great for an adult family.
