The space
First and foremost, this is a large cottage both indoors and out. You have 20 acres of exploration. Right on Lake Muskoka, I have yet to stay at a cottage with sandy and slow access to the lake. I cannot express enough, this cottage has everything your family requires during your stay.
Our bright red door is the perfect welcome. There you will access the smartlock for self check in. Immediately to your left, there is a powder room and mud room to leave your luggage and jackets before exploring the property.
From the big staircase you will walk into the open concept kitchen, and dining room lined with bright windows to lake views. From there you can go out onto the deck to see the large backyard, and slow sandy access to the water. There is lots of grassy areas to play and a big dock from the boathouse for cannon balls. We also have a brand new large BBQ for cooking.
Fabulous play structure for the kids with swings, a slide, a climbing wall and tire swing. The tucked away bunkie is equipped with a queen bed and ac. In the spring and fall, there are also heaters available for at night when sleeping.
Our massive cottage has three large bedrooms upstairs and a very large 4-piece bathroom. Our large jacuzzi tub has lake-views in case you were hoping to take a nice hot bubble bath after settling in. The primary and second bedroom both have breathtaking lake views as well.
The downstairs bedrooms are found in the bright basement with walk-out / immediate access to the backyard. The basement not being underground was designed with bright windows to allow for ample sunshine. The basement has a 3-piece bathroom. The french doors provide access the backyard and lake in case you wanted to jump into the lake before your evening slumber. Our piano is also located in the basement common area.
If you'd also like access to the bunkie (bedroom #6) for extra sleeping arrangements please do let us know. Please note at this time the bunkie has very limited heating. We do not recommend using it during the winter months.
There is laundry on site and you are welcome to use it during your stay. There are also lots of towels and beach towels in the laundry area.
There are extras in basement as well like a dog PDA, tools, and an air pump. If used, be sure to put everything back in it's place.
The water is drinkable and filtered. It's delicious in my opinion. The massive games room has two TVs, a ping pong and pool table. The record player has fantastic records to play and the heated floors come in handy in the winter.
Guest access
The address will be provided 24 hours prior to check in. A smart lock is on site and a code will be texted to you the day of check in. You have the whole property (all 20 acres) to yourself during your stay.
Other things to note
The pictures do not do this cottage justice. It is large and bright. Our dinning room table is huge and can accommodate large groups. It is also very private as there are no close neighbours other than across the lake.

Summary: The property is beautiful, on an idyllic inlet. However, there were cleanliness and upkeep issues that made me feel like we had seriously overpaid for our stay, including but not limited to:1. The kitchen was dirty (dirt smeared on the cupboards, full coffee filter, a filthy apron stuffed in a cupboard) and not restocked (e.g., no tea towels or dish cloths)2. Wood rot on the back deck and dock including at least one large hole on the dock hidden under a chair. This frankly is a safety hazard.3. The laundry room was in disarray, sheets everywhere and the washer/dryer pulled out from the wall. 4. The basement sofabed was so bent we couldn't use itTo his credit, when I emailed Alvaro he replied the next day and offered to send cleaners. However, he asked that I send him photos before he do this (surprisingly difficult to do on the VRBO app). By the time this had been sorted out the trip was over. RE the structural damage, Alvaro said he knew about the holes in the dock (but did not warn us about them). He said he didn't know about the bent sofabed. This all leads me to believe that the property is not being inspected for general wear and tear and damage isn't being repaired in a timely way.I would overlook most of these issues if we hadn't paid so much. I did price comparisons in the region and there are better managed options available for a comparable price. Before committing to staying I recommend confirming that these problems are addressed.
