Welcome to Shane and Alan’s Oakdene Cottage getaway - a newly renovated, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom family cottage with spectacular views out over Starr Bay, just over an hour outside of Toronto. Enjoy a hydromassage in our brand new jacuzzi hot tub followed by a bonfire and sunset over Lake Scugog.

Sleeping Arrangements Master Bedroom: 1 Queen Bed with a 2pc bathroom Bedroom 2: 1 Queen Bed Bedroom 3: 1 Queen Bed Bedroom 4: 1 Bunkbed (Twin over Twin) Lower Level: 2 Queen Beds (pullout sofas) All of our beds come with freshly laundered bed linens, pillows, and duvets. Situated in quiet Starr Bay off Lake Scugog, it’s the perfect place for boating and fishing. We offer two kayaks and a paddle boat. Down the street there is a public boat launch. We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront with our guests and thus want to be clear regarding the lake conditions on Starr Bay. Even though the water is swimmable; The water in Starr Bay is clear but very shallow and weedy in a portion of the shallowest areas, making it harder to swim. We have included a few photos so that guests can see what we are referring to in the lake. For guests that decide not to swim in the shallow area, the kayaks & paddleboat is an excellent transportation tool to venture out to the deeper regions of Starr Bay or further into Lake Scugog to swim. Further, our cottage is supplied by well water. Due to below normal rainfall and low lake levels the WELL water supply is limited. Unlike city water, a well can run dry, especially if lots of water gets used at one time. We ask if you book our cottage with a larger group to please be conscious of your usage. We will provide bottled drinking water for convenience Indoor Features: Freshly laundered bed linens and pillows Towels (face, hand, body, and outdoor) Hand soap and complimentary toiletries Toilet paper, paper towel, garbage and recycling bags Dish soap and dishwasher detergent Kitchen essentials (dishes, cutlery, bakeware, cookware, cooking utensils, etc.) Dyson Vacuum Bose portable speakers Hair Dryer Central heating and air conditioning Outdoor Features: 7-person, all-season jacuzzi Propane BBQ Various game and sports equipment 2 kayaks, paddle boat, and life jackets Fire pit Large dock - docks are in the water from: April 1 - October 31 Muskoka chairs 2 outdoor dining areas Between Victoria Day week and Labour Day Weekend, our preferred check in/out day is Friday - if you would like to check in or out on a different day please inquire with your dates and we will let you know if we can accommodate your request.

We were looking for a cozy spot to spend thanksgiving with 1 set of grandparents, 4 adult kids and 2 grandkids and this place delivered. We loved the hot tub and games included which entertained everyone. We made a bonfire and roasted marshmallows and had cozy movie nights with LOTS of sitting areas with the big screen tv.
The grandkids loved the bunk beds and the adults loved having our own rooms with very comfy queen size beds!! There are 4 bedrooms total but 2 couches downstairs open up to become beds. Loved having all amenities provided. Made it easier!!
Would highly recommend. Close to Lindsey and Port Perry
Thanks for a great long weekend.

This cottage was the best vacation we could have asked for. Less than 2 hours away from the big city, we felt like we got the full cottage experience. The unit was equipped and labelled with everything and anything you could have asked for. The hot tub, fire pit and views of the lake were serene. Kayaks and pedal-boats to keep the water lovers happy. Comfortable beds and washrooms to make you feel at home. A beautiful bbq so you can grill to your hearts desires. Outdoor and indoor dining with a view. Alan was a pleasure to deal with and to communicate wit, he made sure we had zero issues with our stay. Not only do I recommend this place to my family and friends, but I plan on staying here again in the future!

Having booked this location as a unit of University students living in the same room, the owners of this property made the place seem welcoming and safe place to stay but trust me when I say do not come here because they are dishonest owners who do not stay true to what they say. We lost a lot of money dealing with these troublesome owners. Don't waste your time and money here.

Do not book this location, owners are scammers.

The perfect family retreat
Just returned from a much needed recharge at this cozy cottage. The hospitality was top-notch from booking to check out. The cottage was fully stocked and well organized, while the owners were highly attentive. Alan even timed the heat and hot tub to our arrival. Our kids did not want to leave.
Their highlights - skating on the lake, dipping in the hot tub, gaming on the main floor and our daughter wants us to make special mention of her bedroom complete with a crib for her stuffies;) Our highlights - panoramic lake (and sunset) views, soaking in the hot tub, warming over the fire pit, lounging on the main floor and eating large in the kitchen. There is nothing we did without and appreciated all the touches from toiletries to labelled everything. A fantastic find we highly recommend and look forward to revisiting.
