Welcome to a true lakefront cottage in the heart of Muskoka!

You'll love the modern yet cozy aesthetic of Fawn Lake Cottage - large windows that overlook your own private beachfront on a peaceful lake, a fully renovated kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, a large outdoor fire pit for evening bonfires, plenty of outdoor space to play and explore, a private wooded area behind the cottage to hike up and see views of the entire lake, a big comfy sofa to wind down on at the end of the day, and an indoor vintage stone fireplace was originally built in the 80's!

The "cottage" is actually a fully functional year-round waterfront home, that guests can enjoy 365 days of the year.

The property is situated on just over 2 acres of land, and includes nearly half an acre of level waterfront with our own private sand beach! The water is great for swimming - it's very calm, warm, and shallow - at the end of the 40ft dock, the water is only 3ft-4ft deep, depending on water levels. There are no rocks, and almost no weeks - it's pure squishy sand! Out behind the cottage, we own more than an acre of wooded forrest that provides great privacy and a quiet atmosphere.

As seen in the listing photos, there is a quiet dirt road between the cottage and the waterfront. Although the road is available for use by the "public" it's a dead-end road that only leads to a few cottages on the other side of the lake, as well as another very small lake. The neighbours up here are very respectful, so any cars that pass by do drive through slowly, and usually wave too! The waterfront side of the property is quite large (one of the largest on our lake!) and that combined with the small slope down the waterfront, makes it feel quite private and separate from the road. Despite the slow-paced nature of this community, I strongly recommend that children are always supervised and cross the road with an adult.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:

• Bedroom #1 - King sized bed (sleeps 2 guests)

• Bedroom #2 - Queen sized bed (sleeps 2 guests)

• Bedroom #3 - Bunk beds with a Double sized bed on the bottom (sleeps 2) and a Twin sized bed on the top (sleeps 1 guest)

We provide clean bed linens for every guest, which includes a fitted sheet, top sheet, pillow cases, and a cozy quilt.

FASTEST WI-FI IN MUSKOKA - PERFECT FOR REMOTE WORK:

Guests love to use our cottage as a remote work space! We have the fastest fibre optic WiFi that is available in Muskoka, with up to 1500 mbps upload and download. In the bunkbed room, there is a desk, ergonomic office chair, an external display monitor (purchased new in 2024), and an HDMI cable. This connection is great for taking video calls, streaming videos, uploading, and downloading.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES & INDOOR FUN:

• There are 3 kayaks, 1 paddle boat, 1 canoe, and several floats and water toys for guests to enjoy. We also have new neoprene lifejackets available in several sizes, along with paddles for the watercraft too. These are available during the summer season, from from May 15th - October 14th.

• The property stretches back across 2 acres in the wooded lot behind the house - feel free to adventure and explore that wooded area, without the risk of trespassing on private property - it's our property!

• Large outdoor fire pit with 6 Muskoka chairs (Adirondack chairs) for guests to enjoy. Guests must bring their own firewood, which is available to purchase in bags at almost every grocery store and gas station in Muskoka. There is a bucket beside the fire put to use lake water to put your fire out.

• There's a large collection of books, board games, cards, puzzles, colouring books, and magazines on the shelves in the living room.

• We have a new 42" Smart TV for guests to use; feel free to login to your own account on any of the streaming apps like Netflix, Crave, Hulu, Prime, and watch your favourite shows.

• If you're looking to explore in town, both Huntsville and Bracebridge have downtown areas with adorable shopping and dining options.

KITCHEN:

The kitchen is fully equipped with new stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, double sink with retractable faucet head, a microwave, coffee machine, a 4-slice toaster, a digital smart kettle, and all new utensils, as well as basic cooking spices and several popular condiments in the fridge. I also provide coffee and sugar to use in the drip coffee machine.

BATHROOM:

Bathroom features a sink and vanity, toilet, shower, tub, and basic bathroom necessities; shampoo, conditioner, soap, a hair dryer, etc. For hygiene purposes, guests must bring their own shower towels, swim towels, and face towels.

PETS:

Pets are family too! Our standard rule is that we allow 1 dog per reservation, or potentially 2 depending on the size and breed; please confirm the size and breed of your dog before booking.

• All dogs must be completely house trained to go to the bathroom outside (no pee-pads) and well-behaved overall.

• Your dog must be included in your reservation, and confirmed prior to check-in. Pets that are not included in your reservation are not permitted on the property and will result in an immediate cancellation without refund.

• Due to allergies, cats are not permitted under any circumstances.

If you have any questions, please let me know! I look forward to potentially hosting you and your family/friends this summer!

Kindly,

Jessica
