About this property
Lake Muskoka - Sunsets and Sauna!
Located in the heart of Muskoka, this luxury chalet has an ideal location on the water. It has sun all day and great sunsets over the quiet bay. Due to the location of the bay, the water is very calm and great for swimming, however it has access to lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph for endless boating and fishing.
The Chalet is finished with gorgeous cherry hardwood floors and has a loft with 18ft ceilings and a commanding view of the water. Twokayaks, acanoe and Stand Up Paddle boardare included with the rental.
The lot is flat out to the water and is safe for kids. The water starts off shallow around 2 ft at shoreline, after which the granite bottom gradually deepens until the end of the dock. After about 20-25ft the water gets deep quickly, however at the end of the dock it is too shallow for diving in. The lake bottom is mainly granite with some lake sand. There are NO weeds. The Boat slip has a 10ft beam, and about 2.5-3ft of draft depending on the season.
There is a channel in our private bay that leads out to lake Muskoka/Rosseau/Joseph.
I am easily reachable by phone or text
Our cottage is about 3km from the town of Bala, which has a grocery store, coffee shop, LCBO, and some cute restaurants.
Gravenhurst and Port Carling are also nearby and are great to explore on a day trip.
Our favourite places for hiking and nature are Hardy Lake Provincial park and the Torrance Barrens Dark Sky Reserve (also amazing for viewing stars at night)
You should have a car to get around. If you come in the winter you will need winter tires on your vehicle. Also in winter please note the driveway is plowed but the rest of the property can be subject to large volumes of snow and snow drifts. You should be able-bodied and able to navigate deep snow if renting in the winter.
STRICT NO NOISE POLICY AFTER 10PM.
No parties or events.

About the host
Hosted by Nick
I am an outdoor enthusiast, and I love swimming, running, canoeing and kayaking. We have three children aged 9, 7 and 4 who love their time at the cottage. This is our family cottage and not a money making venture. Our hope is to share the beauty of northern ontario with all of our guests, and inspire them to be active and care for our environment.
