The terrain down to the waterfront may not be suitable for young children and we highly suggest supervision.🛟 Please note: Waterfront is shallow and rocky at the land edge and deep off the dock (approx. 20 feet). We recommend water shoes if staying in the shallow parts of the river. Water toys will be pulled out of water in the Fall to prepare for snowy weather.

>Black Fly/Cluster Fly Season in all of Muskoka🪰:
-Mid May- End of June
-There is no way for us to predict when these flies will come and for how long, it depends on the weather and how fast the spring run off dries up.
-We recommend wearing a long sleeved shirt, pants 👖 and a hat 🤠 to avoid black fly bites. We do leave bug spray, after bite and bug jackets for your use inside the cottage, we also spray the property for mosquitoes and flies regularly. Please dress and prepare accordingly as these sprays tend not to work with black flies (this applies to the entire Muskoka Region)

Muskoka Riverside Escape
This location is amazing with many amenities to offer! We had a great time doing water activities while enjoying the fall leaves and cooking up some delicious marshmallows at the campfire. Heather was also a great host and we couldn't have been more grateful for her quick responses. Wonderful location for a retreat!

A warm welcome to a great vacation
Our vacation started with a very warm welcome from our host. We got to enjoy the paddle boat, kayak, canoe etc., we had multiple campfires and tested the sauna. The river is beautiful, clean and ideal to enjoy in or on the water. The cottage is cozy, well equipped and has everything you need. Ther is no washing machine, but our thoughtful host left us plenty of towels, so we did not run short at all. Everyone had a great time, and we would love to come back some time.

About the host

Hosted by Heather

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Heather and I am so excited to be your host! Growing up with a cottage on Canal Lake in the Kawarthas created some of my BEST childhood memories. This experience was the start of my love of nature and if I could be sitting at the cottage overlooking the water 24/7, that would be a dream of mine.

Why they chose this property

Peaceful and covered with trees. A true escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

What makes this property unique

This property was renovated with short term renters needs in mind. It is set up to be the ultimate relaxation escape boasting beautiful views and a peaceful environment. Enjoy the newly built cedar barrel sauna, lunch on the picnic table overlooking Muskoka River or curl up with a movie/ board games inside! The choice is yours :)
