Muskoka Family Cottage On Crystal Clear High Lake
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Huntsville, this attractive cottage for $444 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Here is a great updated 3 bedroom cottage with 100 feet of shoreline, on beautiful crystal clear High Lake. This cottage is located at the end of a quiet, private road with Crown land on one side and has the natural beauty of trees built up along Muskoka rock. The cottage sits just slightly elevated from the shoreline with a gradual sloping yard down to the lake. The deck across the front of the cottage gives a great vantage point for relaxing or dining as you gaze out across the water. The western exposure provides all day sun or you can sit back under the shade of nearby trees. For a dip into the refreshing clear waters, you can walk in from the sand bottomed shore that slopes very gently or shallow dive from the end of the long dock where the water is about 4-5 feet deep. There is a sandy beach area that is great for kids. Kids will love splashing and playing here and the hard packed sand bottom makes it a real joy for wading and swimming. Enjoy your day on the dock where there is plenty of room for sitting and the sun shines from late morning to sunset. High Lake is a small spring fed lake which means it tends to be a warmer lake and an ideal size for families to enjoy by canoe or pedal boat. Canoe over to the top of the waterfall flowing into Skeleton Lake or go over to the jumping rock. Climb up and jump off. There is a fire pit at the waterfront so you can sit and enjoy amazing sunsets, star gazing, campfires, marshmallow roasting and story-telling Inside the recently updated cottage, you'll find it meticulously kept. You enter into the Muskoka room, where you can sit and relax on the leather sofa while enjoying a view of the lake through the large sliding door. Once you go through the door you will be in the spacious living and dining rooms. The living room offers plenty of comfortable seating and the dining room table seats 6 comfortably. There is a fully stocked clean white kitchen. One of the three bedrooms enjoys a great view out over the lake. Whether relaxing in the living room, sitting on the dock, or just chilling out on the deck with your favourite beverage, enjoying cottage life is easy.

We had a wonderful time in this cozy and comfortable cottage. A perfect location in the heart of Muskoka, a beautiful lake and lots of things to do and to explore.
Thank you, Dana.

Dana's cottage was clean, well equipped and oh so relaxing! The beds were good and there was lots of comfortable seating inside and out.
The lake view was spectacular and we spent most of our time swimming, pedal boating and paddle boarding.
We had one rainy day and there was enough space inside for us (4 adults) to hangout and play games.
We would definitely rent again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is obvious that the owners have beautifully updated their cottage to make it more welcoming and comfortable. It was not warm enough to go swimming, but we saw many pleasure boats that could be used by guests, such as a paddble boat, canoe and paddle boards. The fall colours were really spectacular, and some days it was warm enough that we could sit outside and enjoy the view. Thank you for the opportunity to stay here.

The cottage is lovely and has all the conveniences you could ask for. Lying in bed and looking out onto the peaceful lake is the perfect way to start the day. Being at the far end of the lake with an expanse of crown land on one side made it very peaceful. Although there were a few motor craft about, the lake was very peaceful. I discovered a love of paddle boarding this holiday, something I likely wouldn’t have tried if there weren’t a couple of paddle boards at the cottage for us to use. We did local hikes as well as ones in Algonquin, this was a great base for exploring the area. Definitely would recommend a stay at this lovely location and cottage.

The cottage was exactly as described and honestly I felt it was much nicer than the photos show. Super clean, large and more than our family of four needed.
The small beach was perfect for my Little’s and it’s shallow for a while which didn’t leave me worrying about the kids walking in and hitting a drop off. I would recommend water shoes if you don’t like mucky bottoms. There was loads of sand toys, noodles, floaties and life jackets which never left us bored. Gorgeous view of the lake and very private.
The cottage was spotless and the laundry was life changing with two small kids. The fully stocked kitchen was great but we BBQ’d almost every night.
Dana and Ilan left us a s’mores kit which was very thoughtful. The cottage had more than we needed and we will be booking again next summer, for 2 weeks instead of just one!

We had a lovely time at the cottage.
It was immaculate, lots of space, accommodated all 7 of us very well. Kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, the view of the lake from the cottage was incredible - easily the best part of our stay.
The only downside was due to uncontrollable circumstances - due to recent poor weather and high water levels, the beach area was unusable for our little ones (toddlers) which was unfortunate as the private beach was the main reason we booked this location - but there were some nice beaches with a 30-minute drive from the cottage which we used.
Dana was wonderful - she always replied promptly and even left a smores kit for us as a welcome present which we enjoyed immensely!
Would definitely recommend - just keep in mind the changing nature of the beach if you have little ones :)
Still a wonderful stay overall!

Relaxation Nation!
We had the best time at the cottage! This was our first vacation into the world since the pandemic began, and I cannot even explain in words how grateful I am to have found this cottage. It was the nature boost we all needed!
A group of best friends joined my husband and I for a week away at the most welcoming cottage we've ever rented. The cottage was immaculate, the collection of cookware and serving ware was perfect (we cooked a lot) and the rooms were all very cozy and comfortable. We had a quiet night at the campfire, morning coffee on the dock and great walks through the amazing autumn colours.
Dana was an amazing host! We had all the information we needed before heading up, and everything was exactly as described. I want to give 1000 stars because 5 doesn't seem like nearly enough.
Many many thanks for a spectacular week away and the best Friendsgiving trip we could have ever imagined.

Beautiful fall week away
Dana’s cottage was everything we were looking for. We spent a quiet week enjoying the views from the cottage and dock morning, noon and night. The cottage was spotless and very well equipped.
Looking forward to returning next year. Thank you Dana!!

We enjoyed a week-long, early September family vacation at Dana's cottage that included three generations. Description of the location, cottage and amenities was accurate. The lake was quiet and the undeveloped shoreline adjacent to the cottage was a delight to view from the dock or the deck, providing a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy time together. Thanks Dana for being a great host to our vacation.

Exceptionally clean, with an amazing view of the calm glistening lake. Had everything you would expect from a cottage, but so much more. It felt familiar, cozy and our kids loved every minute! We hiked the surrounding area, enjoyed the small sandy beach and pedal boat, canoe and paddle boards. We are so happy to have found this gem and hope to return next year! Thank you!

Had a great stay. The cottage faces west so wonderful for sunsets on the dock and a shallow sandy beach area for small children. The cottage was spic and span upon arrival and is well equipped. Would definitely recommend.

Dana's cottage vacation spot was more beautiful than the pictures and the location was perfect. We had trouble getting the TV on and called Dana later in the evening and she was very gracious to help us out. The beautiful site from the dock or front porch, with crown land all to the left, and Cherry Island directly across was stunning. Our family enjoyed every minute entertaining the adults and the children with a variety of activities. We all enjoyed the canoe, 2 paddles boards, the padel boat, and lots of swimming. You were able to get around the whole lake to adventure, fish and swim, and sit in the Muskoka chairs to enjoy the view and sunsets. Our grandchildren were able to fish from the dock, enjoy the pedal boat, catch tadpoles, listen to the lunes, and enjoy the ducks visit. They also enjoyed the hike from the smaller water fall to the larger water fall where you can sit in the water below. There is the Bent River General Store where you can get everything you need and the cabbage rolls and perogies were delicous. On Saturday they have a farmers market that has everything from fruit, veggies, home cooked meals, arts, crafts, jewellry, wood carvings, baking goods, meat, cheese, live music, and much more. For fine dining you have the famous Windermere and the Crossroads reataurants to enjoy a delicious meal and walk around. There is a variety of hiking trails in the area, Santas Village, and man parks and cities to advenure. Dana was very kind to leave us a gift bag of marshmellow, chocolates and wafers, to enjoy smores over the bomfire! Thankyou Dana for letting us enjoy your wonderful cottage with all the many great memories. The Jarosz Family

What a fantastic getwaway on high lake! The cottage is perfectly positioned on the lake and is one of the best lots. The sand entry is wonderful and it is deep enough for our boat off the dock. The crown land and rocks on the left are both picturesque and give lots of privacy. The cottages on the right are close but everyone was respectful. The bay where the cottage sits is warm and the bugs are almost non-existent due to the breeze always blowing in from the lake. The cottage itself is well equipped, clean and the view from the deck is amazing! Sun all day and beautiful evenings eating on the deck. What more can you ask for! This is an absolute 5 * place and we would rent it again without hesitation! The owners were very responsive. Thanks so much Dana!!

This cottage was exactly as advertised. Wonderful location on a quiet lake. The canoe, pedal boat, and paddle boards were great for exploring the lake. Swimming was great off the dock or walk in from the beach with a nice sandy bottom. The cottage had all of the amenities needed: toaster oven, Keurig, bbq, all utensils etc. For rainy days the satellite tv, DVD’s, and board games kept us busy. Bed was comfortable for a good sleep. Cottage was very clean and modern. We had a relaxing stay!

Dana was a welcoming and accommodating host. Her cottage was perfect for our family. Our boys loved the bunk beds, fishing off the dock, going for paddles in the canoe and splashing around in the shallow water off the beach. Dana was welcoming and accommodating. I couldn’t recommend a better host!
