The guest book describes this cottage as a little piece of paradise with a million dollar view. Kids say it's endless hours of fun and activity with a climber, Tarzan ropes, a shallow sandy bottom out to diving raft, and a sailing school on the island. Cottage sleeps six to eight and bunkie sleeps two to four. Suits two families sharing meals.
Lake Muskoka in all its beauty and history can be experienced in
this McVittie Island Cottage. Set on the lakeside of the island with
only a few others, this gem brings relaxation and nature to all who
venture here. You will start your experience by rowing a very short
distance across the river to your own boathouse where pull carts
will carry your belongings to the cottage. A well-marked path leads
you from the boathouse landing to your own piece of this island.
A panoramic view awaits in the living/dining room where an expanse
of windows line two of the walls. This open-concept area joins to
the small working part of the kitchen and everyone is part of the
conversation. A large table will invite evening games and activities
with no television to distract.
The four bedrooms offer a variety in sleeping arrangements. The
single beds, two in each of the three bedrooms, can be bunks or
pushed together for king-size sleeping. The main bedroom has a queen
bed and sliding doors looking out to the wooden deck and Lake
Muskoka beyond.
The separate Bunkie provides additional sleeping and a quiet retreat
from the bustle of the main cottage activities. There is a double
bed here and a small loft with two single mattresses.
Enjoy watching the striped sails of the sailboats out of the South
Muskoka Sailing School while you sip your coffee on the deck of the
cottage. The children will love the climbers and play equipment
outside. The dock is only steps away with traditional Muskoka chairs
to relax in. A small ladder off the dock allows you to enter the
water easily where it is shallow and the sand bottom makes for
comfortable wading and lots of room for playing. Farther out the
floating, diving platform invites the swimmers in your group. Canoes
provided will help you explore the natural sanctuary nature reserve
nearby and coves beyond.
Very close to Santa’s Village and the Scenic Muskoka Cruises, plus
much more, McVittie Island Cottage will make a memorable holiday for
everyone. It is an adventure waiting for you!
