Winter Birthday Trip
I rented Pat and Morley’s cottage for my birthday weekend with a group of friends. Though there was a big snow storm, Morley made sure to keep in touch with me and ensured the driveway was plowed and safe for us before we left. Both the main cottage and bunkie were fantastic – clean and well stocked with linens and towels. The sauna was great too, would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the water!

Wonderful property! Secluded, but leisurely walk to town. Delightful area of the world!! Works great by boat to get to towns around the lake. Nice water toys provided. Our grandkids ranged from 6 to 18 and they all loved it.

Beautiful cottage by the falls
We had an amazing week at Pat and Morley’s place on lake Rosseau. The place was lovely and setting was perfect. Nice and private and a close walk to local amenities in Windermere. We’d definitely go back!

About the host

Hosted by Morley and Pat Sniderman

Host profile image
We are Pat and Morley and we have been cottagers in the Muskoka area since 1988. We love the clean water, the great fishing, the sunsets, the quiet lakes, the friendliness of the neighbours, the amenities of Muskoka and the ease of access from Toronto. We treasure the family and friend-time we spend together at the cottage and know that we are very lucky to have “a little piece of heaven” up North.
