If you're in search of the perfect family getaway, your search ends here at Deer Lakehouse. This brand-new cottage, completed in 2022, boasts over 2,500 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, and comfortable accommodations for up to 10 people.
Nestled on the shores of Deer Lake, also known as Nulty Lake, this peaceful retreat offers 450 feet of waterfront on a private 13.5-acre property. With no public boat launch, the lake sees minimal boating activity and fewer motorized boats, making it ideal for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. The clear waters are easily accessed from the private dock, while the west-facing cottage offers breathtaking sunset views.
Privacy is a hallmark of Deer Lakehouse, with no neighboring properties visible from the cottage and no highway noise despite being only about 15 minutes from Highway 11. You may even spot deer during your stay, particularly in winter.
The cottage is accessible year-round by road, with summer access via Deer Lake Road (Exit 248 on Hwy 11) and winter access via Three Mile Lake Road, the next exit farther north. Starlink internet and Wi-Fi are also provided. Located approximately two hours north of Toronto, the cottage makes for an easy drive through the Muskoka District, with Gravenhurst offering a great stop along the way.
Please note that the garage is not included in the rental, as it is used by the owners for personal storage. There is ample parking for four vehicles in front of the cottage. 4-WD vehicles can access the lower parking area, while the smaller upper area is better suited to cars and two-wheel-drive vehicles, particularly in wet weather.
Nearby attractions include Brook’s Falls, just minutes away, and the Village of Burks Falls, about 20 minutes away, with gas, groceries, restaurants, and other amenities. Huntsville is also about 20 minutes south, while Gravenhurst is approximately an hour away and offers plenty to explore, including Muskoka Wharf, Lake Muskoka cruises, shops, and dining. Whether you're looking to reconnect with nature or explore the surrounding area, Deer Lakehouse promises a memorable escape in a peaceful corner of Ontario.
