Local landscapers masterfully designed the stone staircase leading to the main entrance, using the finest sourced stone to create that special Muskoka feel. GETTING HERE: Huntsville is just a 15-minute drive away, and the cottage is easily accessible year-round on local roads. The property also offers miles of boating on the 4 Lake chain (Lake Vernon, Fairy Lake, Peninsula Lake, and Mary Lake), and is only a short boat ride from downtown Huntsville, where you can enjoy all of Huntsville's finest shopping and dining! **WINTER BOOKINGS** We always make sure our driveway and stairs are cleared of snow. The town also clears all major roads on a regular basis. There are a few steps leading down to the cottage, but they are well kept. Of course be cautious - repeated freeze/thaw cycles will conceal ice underneath the snow.
