Where Muskoka whispers its secrets
A hidden gem on High Lake, this private two-bedroom cottage is tucked between Huntsville and Bracebridge.

A cozy Muskoka room extends off to the side, inviting you to linger over long dinners or curl up with a book while the lake breeze drifts through.

What guests say
On a quiet bay of High Lake
The property is classic Muskoka cottage land: lots of trees, rocks and nature. The neighbourhood is very quiet. There are a few other cottages in the bay and on the lake, but it is calm and peaceful most of the time.
Hiking trails start right outside the door. Golf courses, farmers’ markets, shops and restaurants are in the towns close by.
Your hosts, Justin & Dave
“We really enjoy sharing our cottage with people who love nature and the great outdoors. We have since moved up here and live in the property next door. We are close by if there are any problems, but usually leave guests to enjoy their private experience.”
