About this property
5 bedroom, 2 bath, Eilean Gowan Island, Lake Muskoka! Minutes to Bracebridge!
SUNSET ISLAND
AREA
Located on Lake Muskoka, Eilean Gowan Island is a 5 minute boat ride from Pride Marina. If you are looking to spend some time checking out the local shops, the town of Bracebridge is a quick 5-minute drive from the marina! Excellent location for swimming, fishing and water sports! The centre of Eilean Gowan island is a nature reserve and is for the public to use. Access to the trail is from a dock at Johnston Public Park located on the south side of the island. A 10 minute boat ride takes you to the dock at Kirrie Glen for a day of golf, or boat to Port Carling for lunch and access through the locks into Lakes Rosseau and Joe for sight seeing and all day boating fun!
PROPERTY
SUNSET ISLAND - Avoid the mosquitos on this breezy island property. The main cottage sits on level land and there is a grassy area with badminton net set up for family fun. A bbq and outdoor dining table that seats 4 (plus extra chairs and bench seating), sits on the back deck. Enjoy reading a good book on one of the many Muskoka chairs on the deck facing the lake. Make your way down gradual steps to the lake where you will find multiple Muskoka chairs surrounding a firepit. There is a shallow, sandy walk in for the kids and grandparents and 4 feet off the dock for those that prefer to get straight into the water. This property is 3 cottages down from the access to a 5 km public hiking trail on the island!

About the host
Hosted by Jayne McCaw
Jayne McCaw, has been involved in luxury cottage rentals in Muskoka for the last 5 years and recently launched Jayne's Cottages in 2014.
A message from Jayne, Owner of Jayne's Cottages:
As a child, I grew up with the sandy beach of Lake Huron in my backyard. I went to university and settled in Toronto with my family and made my living selling computer software. I starting visiting Muskoka in the summertime and fell in love with the peacefulness and natural beauty of the surroundings. Shortly thereafter we bought a cottage, which was quite an investment, but my family has never regretted it!
Working full time however only allowed my family a 2 week vacation, so we all agreed that we would rent to cover our property expenses and to afford to take exotic family trips overseas. Renting our cottage has allowed my family to experience other special places, like Provence and Tuscany.
Despite the alarming storms that can rush in, Muskoka has a certain “joie de vivre” about it. Blue skies, gorgeous lakes, quaint villages and sunshine nearly everyday certainly helps keep a smile on everyone’s face. Over our years in Muskoka, I have met charming people who have also fallen in love with this magical part of Ontario and who have purchased beautiful cottage properties that they visit frequently. While they are away from Muskoka, I take excellent care of their homes and host their visitors who come from all over the world to enjoy this beautifully scenic Canadian location that is especially close to my heart.
My goal with Jayne’s Cottages is to help both the cottage owner and our vacationing guests make the most of their Muskoka experience. I would love to help you too! Please be in touch!
