About this property

Muskoka Cottage with a Sandy Beach

Our family welcomes people from all walks of life to enjoy a stay on beautiful Grandview Lake. We have a private sandy beach. The lake water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming and water sports. There is a large dock for hanging out by the lake and a floating dock for diving and jumping. After a fun day in the sun enjoy roasting marshmallows around the camp fire.

Note that July and Aug are 7 ngt min. We prefer Saturday to Saturday but have some flexibility.
There is a $1000 damage deposit to be paid 30 days prior to your arrival date. The deposit will be fully refunded if the cottage is left in the condition you found it in. Any extra cleaning or damages will be taken out of the deposit. There is a rental agreement to sign as well.

The cottage sleeps 8. There are 4 bedrooms. One with a queen, one with a double, two rooms have bunk beds (one is a single over double bunk) and there's a double in the upstairs foyer (has privacy drapes).

We have a private sandy beach that is a set of stairs down from the cottage (beach access also down the driveway (no stairs).

The lake water is crystal clear and refreshing in the summer months. From the beach it's a shallow, sandy walk out perfect for kids or lounging with your feet in the water.

There's a large "L" shaped dock where your group can catch some rays or you can sneak out with a cup of coffee in the morning and watch the sun rise through the mist.

There is a canoe and a paddle boat for touring the usually peaceful lake.  We have lots of PFDs as well.

The driveway doubles as a boat launch, so if you have your own craft you are welcome to bring it along. The sand is soft so a 4x4 is required.

There is an enclosed porch that is all screened windows that's great for sitting at night or when it's pouring rain.  It's also a great space for playing cards or board games.

My parents and grandparents purchased the property in 1976. At that time it was just a shack with barn doors. Over the years it has evolved into what it is now and we are happy to share it with you.

We supply dish cloths, dish towels and hand towels. Guests are required to supply their own bed linens and pillow cases.

We are supplying camp fire wood this year.

Our house rules: primary renter must be 25 or older, no smoking, no parties or events, pets permitted.
Bookings for July and August are 7 night minimum stays. We prefer Saturday to Saturday but have some flexibility depending on the week.

Exceeding Expectations

We had an amazing time at this beautiful cottage. The beach and lake were fantastic, along with the dock, canoe and paddleboat that were well used. The water was so clear. The cottage was very private from neighbouring cottages. The kitchen had everything you could need along with a large dining table for family meals. Cottage was larger than expected - ample room for lounging and sleeping comfortably. We would definitely return!

Great spot for a young family

Our kids loved the beach. The entry into the water didn't have any weeds. It was great. The cottage was big, and had a great kitchen. We'd go again.

Love at first sight.

From the moment we arrived, we felt so comfortable in this cottage. Classic Muskoka cottage feel but with all necessary amenities. The lake is very clean & clear. sandy beach area & shallow entry is perfect for little ones plus there’s a floating lily pad & dock deep enough for older swimmers. Host responded right away to any enquiries. Everyone in the group wants to return next summer!

Amazing cottage close to Algonquin Park

Very well maintained cottage. Beautiful lake and close to Algonquin Park. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of room at the cottage. Easy access from highway 117. One of the best cottages I ever rented.

The most magical spot!

This cottage is spectacular. It’s so much nicer than the photos, and so much better stocked than we expected! The gradual sandy beach is a dream with kids (our party had kids ages 2, 3, 4 and 6). This feature made everything so much more relaxing for us because we could sit back and let the kids play independently knowing they were safe, and is pretty rare in the Muskoka area! The property is also quite large and very flat so you’re not walking 100 steps up from the dock to the house, and there’s a massive flat grassy area to play directly outside the door where most cottages are built on an unusable hill. There are so many toys and games, don’t even pack any it’s all there! Jamie was incredibly communicative. This place truly blew me away, especially if you have young kids, stop looking just book this one :)

Beautiful beach property

Lovely property, centrally located to Bracebridge, Huntsville and Dorset areas. Cottage was very neat, clean, spacious and well equipped. The property had a nice fire pit area, lake was clean and clear with sandy bottom and best of all a beautiful sandy beach area perfect for kids and dog to play. Property manager was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions we had. We would definitely go back to this property.

The property is amazing. All the pictures posted on the website are so genuine. Evrything promised was done. The Cottage is so well equipped for anything we as a family needed. We went with our child and grandparents and my husband's sister. There were toys for the child, books, indoor toys, the kitchen had everything the grandma needed for cooking and baking, so many movies to enjoy on dvd player in the living room. The cottage is spacious so that each one of us had a chance to have find their own quiet corner if we needed it. The cottage is well maintained, clean and beautiful. Enough room to park the cars. The comunication with owners is so efficient and professional. The only thing I didn't like is that we had to leave at the end of our vacation 🙃 We would definitely like to stay here again.

Wonderful Stay

My family enjoyed a wonderful week at the Robertson's cottage. The cottage is very clean and has all the amenities that you could possibly need. The lake was very refreshing and Jamie was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We look forward to another visit next year.

All ten of us had a great time!

We spent a wonderful August week at The Roberts’ cottage. All ten of us had a great time! The kids enjoyed digging in the sand, swimming out to the raft (Spider Island),going for paddle boat rides and canoe rides. There is a place to launch the boat. Lots of chairs throughout the property to enjoy the views, the sunshine and shade and the peace and quiet. The cottage is well equipped. The kitchen has lots of room for everyone to help make pancakes or dinner, The table area allowed us to eat all our meals together and discuss our day. We especially loved the two fridges with lots of freezer space. There are enough beds to sleep more than 10. We were able to have camp fires every night and the kids enjoyed the many games stocked in the cottage. Overall we were impressed with the cottage and hope to return next year.

All The Comforts of Home Without Sacrificing that Cozy Cottage Feeling

We had a lovely time at the Roberts' cottage. It had all the amenities we needed to keep us more than comfortable - and it had that cozy cottage feeling that we really wanted on our family get-away. The lake was perfect and the sandy beach provided hours and hours of fun for the kids. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make all our recipes from home. It was clean and well maintained. There were friendly touches left by our hosts that made us feel welcome and valued! We hope to return in the future and would recommend this cottage to anyone!

Great place to stay

Very clean, comfortable and spacious. We had 10 people in our group and we never had an issue finding spots to sleep. The location is great and the owner was very responsive and great to deal with. Looking forward to staying again next year!
