Thanks to the loyal guests that have enjoyed the amazing spring, summer and fall seasons at our cottage and for making it another safe and successful cottage rental season. We are now taking reservations for the 2023 and 2024 spring, summer, and fall seasons.

This wonderful Muskoka property, located on pristine Muldrew Lake, (5 minutes from Gravenhurst, in the heart of Muskoka about a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto), offers a magical blend of nature, broad lake vistas, location, an ideal exposure, comfort and privacy. Situated on an expansive 3-acre lot with 600 feet of lake frontage, only one other cottage is visible from our dock.

This cottage, a bungalow with a unique waterfront, boasts southwestern exposure with mesmerizing sunsets. We have a 10' x 20' dock with a ramp to an 8' x 16' floating dock offering plenty of sun-drenched dock space for your family or group. There is both deep water and a sandy beach area for the little ones.

Four key features to look for in a Muskoka cottage rental (hint: we offer all four!): 1/ Exposure - Southwest exposures offering full sun right to sunset and fewer bugs (as the southwest prevailing winds blow them off the dock).

2/ Location - many cottage renters hide the fact that their cottage is located on an un-assumed, pot-holed road, many kilometres from the nearest town. A cottage on a town-maintained, paved road, that is close to town offers ultimate convenience. No one wants to drive 30 minutes because they forgot to buy marshmallows!

3/ Broad Vistas - a cottage with sweeping vistas, especially from on high, can be a glorious way to enjoy Muskoka Lakes.

4/ Privacy - Experienced cottagers know that a rental scenario is best enjoyed when you don't have noisy neighbours all jammed together in a congested area, where guests are forced to listen to each others conversation.

Many of our guests are repeat customers and prime time rentals are generally booked well in advance. We mend you book as early as possible to be sure to get the rental time frame you wish for. The early bird gets the worm.

Covid-19 Precautions: We are very careful about providing a safe environment and have implemented a strict cleaning policy to disinfect as much as possible and especially frequently touched surfaces prior to each visitor. This includes tables, doorknobs and locks, light switches, counter tops, toaster handles, desks, dock furniture, toilets, faucets, coffee maker buttons, and even BBQ knobs. We were fully booked all summer since Covid hit with no reported virus incidents.

There are four bedrooms, two of which have two single beds (in the master bedroom, two singles have been moved together into one king sized bed), one bedroom has a queen bed and the other has a bunk bed (two singles).

We continue to make improvements to the modations, including a recent renovation of the bathtub and shower unit. The kitchen includes ceramic tile flooring, a dishwasher, fridge, new countertop and a faucet. There is a large screened-in gazebo for a leisurely afternoon reading session or a board game, a sizable kitchen table with room to add a second table should more dining space be needed. There is a TV and DVD player and a large cabinet full of fun games to play and over 25 movies to watch. We offer unlimited internet connection for high season rentals (July and August) as well so you can stream your favourite shows on your devices on the tv if you so choose.

The es with a canoe with paddles, life jackets, 2 kayaks and a small rowboat with oars. If you would like to bring your own motorboat, there is a free boat launch .5 km from our dock. (We ask that you tell us what type of boat you’d like to bring in advance of the booking.) The living room offers a fireplace and there are thermostats for the electric heat in most rooms. On the sun-drenched wrap-around deck, there is a Napoleon Bar-B-Q, a cast aluminum dining suite, outdoor dart board, and plenty of Muskoka chairs for congregations.

Our natural raised stone area with a fire pit for evening bonfires is always popular with guests. Magnificent granite steps lead you down to the lake and to the dock and waterfront area.

Muldrew is a long (8 km), narrow lake with lots to discover for the adventurous. It's almost always calm for water skiers and kayakers/canoers, warm for swimmers and lucky for fishermen. For most of the summer, there is a slalom course available to anyone with a ski boat and the skills to make it through. The local jumping rock is right on the property (but do you have the nerve to make the leap?) Muldrew offers a piece of nature's heaven!

Please be considerate of the Great Blue Heron who has lived in our bay for many years. Muldrew is very scenic with narrow channels and lots of exposed granite. There are unlimited nature paths around the cottage and great fishing on this serene lake including small-mouthed bass, pan fish (sunfish and rock bass), catfish and the occasional, elusive pike.

The highly touted Muskoka Bay Golf Club is only 1.5 km away and Taboo Resort and Golf Club is also just a 10-minute drive as well. Shopping and dining at Gravenhurst Farmers Market and the Muskoka Wharf and boat launch are 5 km away. Go for a sail on the RMS Seguin or Wenonah steamships and experience Muskoka's history and breathtaking scenery. There are excellent walking/riding trails and tennis nearby. See historic Bethune House, Torrance Barrens Dark Sky Preserve, or the High Falls at Bracebridge. For those who enjoy exploring Muskoka by boat, one could drop their boat into Muskoka Bay and boat for days through the three big lakes.
