Very private modern cottage, breathtaking view, hot tub, Lake Vernon, Huntsville

This nature lover’s retreat sits peacefully high on a hill with a spectacular view of Lake Vernon and the woods around. With a southern exposure and panoramic vista, it’s truly breathtaking in all directions. Located in Muskoka just 15 minutes from Huntsville but a million miles from it all.
A charming 2 storey cottage perfect for mature groups of up to 8 people or 2 families (max 6 adults). Each level has a kitchen, living room, deck, two bedrooms and bathroom. Ceiling fans, gas fireplaces and large windows provide total comfort and a cozy experience. High speed wireless internet and DVD players on both floors allow different age groups to enjoy themselves while at the same cottage.
Lounge around on the deck or soak in the outdoor 6 person hot tub while gazing at the stars.

Take the pathway and stairs down to the lake where you’ll find the 200 sq. ft. dock for docking your boat or jumping in for a refreshing swim. Enjoy the canoes and kayaks with a leisurely paddle or an energetic exploration of the lake. Along the way you'll find your own observation deck with astonishing cliffside views. The observation deck provides you with a secluded spot to sit and relax and gaze at the lake in complete privacy.

At the waterfront, you'll find natural vegetation along the 150 ft of private shoreline and a hard packed sandy/pebble bottom for swimming.

Nice over view of the lake that allows you to capture beautiful pictures to cherish the moments with your friends & family.

Boat or drive 15 min to Huntsville, shops, restaurants, world class golf and Algonquin Park.

Family Vacation
Cottage was spacious which was nice for our family. Trek down to the water needs some work. It is a much longer and more difficult descent then the listing makes it seem. The dock was also partly under water which was disappointing. The condition of the kayaks and life jackets left much to be desired and so we did not use them.

Not Worth your money! Not clean, not functional!
Unfortunately despite the property’s amazing location, the cottage is not well prepared for guests. Overall it was not that clean, closets were disorganized and filled with broken hangers, worn out blankets and old bed covers. The towels were shoved under the sink and were mostly ripped (I washed them all before using). The outdoor furniture and equipment at the dock (including the dock itself) are broken (one of the guests almost lost a toe when their foot got stuck between the two parts of the dock). The Jacuzzi smelled and the water never went up 93 Fahrenheit. The BBQ was so dirty we spent time cleaning inside and outside of it before using the grill. I spare you many other missed details, just imagine an old neglected cottage and you’ll get the gist of it. I tried to resolve the situation with the owner, but unfortunately no discount for the poor quality of the residence was offered and in response to my criticism of them misrepresenting the property they said they would retaliate with a “review” of me. Overall, definitely not worth the rate (which goes pretty steep after fees & taxes) we spent on this property. Take your money somewhere else.

Great stay
Lots of rooms, 2 kitchens, nice place, gorgeous view. It's a lot of steps to get to the water, but it's worth it. It's not quite modern, but it's a decent place. Nice hot tub, maybe a bit too much chlorine. No AC. Water tasted great, there's a washer and dryer, and it's a charming place.

Beautiful Views of Sunrises and Sunsets
If you're looking to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature and spectacular views this is the place for you. This cottage is also close to Huntsville, Arrowhead Provincial Park and Algonquin Park. We were able to hike both at the cottage and at the nearby parks. Our stay was amazing!!! I would go back again and can only imagine how beautiful it must be during the summer and fall seasons.

Great place to stay and relax
We visited the cottage with our friends and kids and we throughly enjoyed the property. The view is amazing a and we got to enjoy the lake too. The walk to the lake is quite steep but short so we had little to no issue - the kayak and canoe are there to use and we loved it. The place was a little unclean when we got there, and if you are looking for a real comfy bed then you may not get it here but that are the only negatives we had. Overall no issue, quick checkin, great communication and overall good stay.

SHABBY..DIRTY...LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR VACATION
Regardless of the rent one pays, it's reasonable to expect clean facilities and a property in excellent repair with decent linens. Instead we found dirt encrusted screens and window sills, gaping holes in sliding screen door, peeling countertop, a dishwasher missing a side panel, bedding lacking a top sheet under the comforter and insufficient towels including none for drying dishes. The contract (which we did not fill out) asked that we leave the cottage in the condition it was found with provided cleaning supplies despite a cleaning fee.. We were asked as well to take our garbage with us; with no place provided to store our garbage we left a bag in a shed outside and, unfortunately, critters got into it and scattered the contents. We left this as well as another bag in the cottage, advising the owner of this. The highlight was the lake on which it is situated. No mention is made of the steep 80 degree incline down to the lake which took me, an experienced hiker, 8 minutes to descend. The route to the lake is composed of natural paths and stairways that are well placed with a deck enroute taking advantage of the exceptional view. We enjoyed the choice of sitting in the sun or shade as well as the canoes and kayaks. It is unlikely that you would ascend and descend more than once during the day due to the steepness and most would be seriously huffing and puffing on the climb back to the top. We're at a loss as to how an owner can be designated a "premier host". There was no welcoming or hosting provided; no instructions on the use of equipment or information provided on attractions or restaurants in the area. This property needs serious refurbishment coupled with serious cleaning to make it even marginally attractive. Look elsewhere for your next cottage holiday. We have chosen not to seek a rebate from the owner as we note another dissatisfied visitor was still waiting for her refund. We'd like to leave the bad taste in our mouths behind. Janet M Ottawa ON
