Check out the video in the photos or visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9Jm5vRbY_4

Welcome to the Serene and Beautiful Muskoka Retreat!

Our 6 Bedrooms, 4 Bathrooms Waterfront Cottage is located outside of Parry Sound in Muskoka on a private and quiet Newell Lake. With 8 acres of land and over 500 feet of waterfront, you can enjoy the peace and the beauty of nature to your absolute content!

Our "Resort" like property with spacious 3800 sqf and modern interior is perfect for people looking to spend quality time with family and friends, or a quiet and peaceful retreat away from the city - just 3 hours North of Toronto.

Our recreational amenities include lots of fun on a clean sandy beach right on the property, large dock, great swimming on clear water, stand-up-paddle boards/water-raft/canoe/kayaks/hiking trails/big fire pit for camp fires, roasting marshmallows and star gazing under the night clear sky.
With the addition of the new hot tub and barrel sauna, you can relax and recharge to the fullest throughout the stay!

When Rainy days call for indoor fun, cozy up around the fireplace while binge watching Netflix/Youtube on the Smart TV or on a 150" screen projector, playing board games/cards, or reading book, and getting competitive around the pool and foosball table.

Located within an hour from Arrowhead Provincial Park and Hidden Valley Ski Area, and one and a half hour from Algonquin Park, our place is ideal to extend your stay and explore the nature beauty in Autumn and Winter while keeping active with hiking, tobogganing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and skiing.

Family Thanksgiving
Very suitable building for our group of 14. We could spread out in many bedrooms, lots of washrooms. Hot tub, sauna, and pool table were well used! Even at 3degrees and snow we swam in the lake, then hot tub. Very enjoyable weekend.

Great September Getaway
Our group (11 ladies) really enjoyed a beautiful Fall sunny weekend on this property. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna, using the stand-up paddle boards (SUP) - please bring an extra paddle as there was only one available - and relaxing under a beautiful night of stars by the campfire. Plenty of Muskoka chairs for everyone! We also liked having our own beds as there were 11 beds in the house! The kitchen is well-equipped and modern. Plenty of room to walk around the house for a group of 11. We certainly did not feel cramped. The house also has 4 full modern washrooms which really suited our group. The only thing we didn't really enjoy was the drive up to the house. You must drive on a very narrow laneway for about 800 m to reach the house. Certainly not the best during winter months. We also agreed that there should be better signage at the very beginning of the laneway to indicate that the house is definitely on this laneway as it gives you the impression of driving onto an ATV trail. But once you arrive at the house, the property itself is beautiful with lakeside frontage very easily accessible.

Had a blast
We were extremely impressed with the size of the property, it slept 13 of us very comfortably. The amenities were as described, with the exception of the walk in beach front. We found we could launch boats from the beach, but not swim from the beach as the water area there was too mushy. The area in early June was extremely buggy, but we still spent every day outside on the lake with extra bug spray. We loved the selection of boats that were available. Would have liked to have had a few more kayaks and paddle boards for our large group. Overall the house met our needs of family time together.

Family Christmas together
We rented this beautiful property for a family Christmas together. We were 12 people in total. This definitely met our needs and provided just what we needed to relax, enjoy Christmas and have us all together under one roof. There was plenty to keep the adults as well as the kids entertained which was great! Glenys and Yani made this extra special for us by putting up a Christmas tree and having the place look so festive. The addition of the beautiful box of chocolates was such a lovely gesture:) Thank you!!!!! The owners were always available and prompt to respond to any questions or concerns that came up and were so helpful throughout the entire process of booking, planning as well as our actual stay. We had such a wonderful time on this property and made great use of the hot tub and sauna with such stunning views that time of year!! Beautiful property.

Amazing secluded cottage on a beautiful lake
