All the amenities of home. Walkout to the beach & fire pit. Very private (1000 ft of shore). Excellent for families with young kids. Right in the heart of Muskoka. 5 minutes to Mactier, 20 minutes to Port Carling or Parry Sound. Come and swim, golf, cycle, hike or just relax in a hammock or hot tub. NOTE: A few folks have sent me notes saying that they have been contacted by me via Facebook or other social media platforms to arrange bookings. Unfortunately this appears to be a scam. For your safety I will not communicate with you in anyway other than the VRBO app. Once you are booked, I will give you my cell # for emergencies. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Golf - Kayak - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69790000/69783900/69783842/4655fd50.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Muskoka Waterfront Retreat Port Carling - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=69783842&PinnedHotelID=69783842&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34340000/34330400/34330379/00ad9c00.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Muskoka Executive Cottage Port Carling - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=34330379&PinnedHotelID=34330379&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118710000/118703400/118703343/fbe850e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Muskoka lakefront,private sand beach ,cosy-family cottage Port Carling - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=118703343&PinnedHotelID=118703343&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108750000/108746700/108746618/42f7091f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Bella Muskoka - Your private executive escape to tranquil beauty MacTier - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=108746618&PinnedHotelID=108746618&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22710000/22708900/22708859/c1ba2d7f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hideaway - Waterfront Cottage with private dock on Porter Lake - Muskoka Bala - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=22708859&PinnedHotelID=22708859&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78050000/78046300/78046245/9ac62ee6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Real Muskoka Experience Muskoka Lakes - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=78046245&PinnedHotelID=78046245&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83450000/83440700/83440666/w1296h750x15y0-7785b0bf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stillwater Lakehouse • 20 Acre Lakefront • Sandy Beach • Dock • Firepit!
