♡Looking to escape the hustle? Wanna chill out with friends for a weekend? Experience making tasty s'mores at the bonfire with your kids. Watch as the kids put their screens down, hunt for frogs & get back to life. Grab a bevy! Chill out after a fun day in the sun. Gaze at the countless stars from a Muskoka chair at your fire pit in the front yard. Your tranquil island cottage awaits. A charming waterfront space that is bright, open & airy for your stay♡

Please read the entire description. It will help set expectations. Or at LEAST read the big bullet points ;)

● We live on-site with 2 guardian dogs (a maremma sheepdog & a maremma/border collie). They will more than likely make their way over for a quick visit during your stay. They're well-trained & very friendly.

● Bring water to drink (the water here is from a well; it's fine for showering & doing dishes).

● Located on an island. Access is by drive-on ferry. Getting on costs $8 but leaving the island is free. There are only houses on the island so please plan your trip accordingly. Be sure to bring all your groceries with you!
