Idlehour Cottage F101
Peninsula Lake, near Huntsville,
Ontario
Hidden away on the shore of
Peninsula Lake, close to Algonquin Park and a short drive to
Huntsville, this gem of a cottage will be your place to recharge as you
enjoy the beauty of this Muskoka lake. 
Idlehour Cottage is a peaceful spot with a wonderful view of the lake and 460 feet of waterfront. The south-facing deck will provide you with morning sun, while a second deck faces the lake and is a place to find shade when you need it. If you prefer, the large screened sun porch (Muskoka Room) has ample space to sit and chat, read a book, play board games, or eat a casual meal as you watch the sun sparkle on the water.
Idlehour has four spacious bedrooms; three on the upper level and one on the lower level. There are two double beds, one queen-sized bed and two singles.
Lovingly finished throughout in knotty pine, there is
plenty of seating area in the living room. A large pine dining room
table sits next to the large windows looking out to the lake. A
fully-equipped kitchen runs off the dining room and has a door leading
out to the front deck. There is one four-piece bathroom on this main
level.
The lower level of the cottage (with walk-out to the front yard) has a
second space for relaxing, equipped with a dartboard and CD player - a
great spot for the teenagers. There is a new three-piece bathroom.
The cottage property is quite level, and has plenty of room for games or
for exploring among the trees. Follow the gently winding path to the
lake, where you can access the water with its shallow entry, and
sand and pebble bottom. A dock extends 50 feet out into the lake.
A canoe is provided at the cottage, along with an aluminum boat with
oars. If you bring your own boat, a launch is available right on the
property. For a larger launching area, Tally Ho Resort is just
across the lake. Peninsula Lake connects to a chain of lakes that
provide 70 kilometers of boating on Fairy Lake (Huntsville Marina) ,
Lake Vernon, and through a set of locks to the Muskoka River and
Mary Lake. A short drive from Idlehour Cottage will take you to
Lake of Bays if you would like to launch your boat at the South Portage
Access and explore what this lake has to offer.
For the more adventurous sort, a hike on the lakeshore path at the
front of the cottage will lead
you along the shore of Peninsula Lake, past many interesting cottages.
If you prefer, you can explore the nearby historical site of the old
Portage Flyer Train that used to run overland to Lake of Bays. A half
hour drive will take you to Algonquin Park, where you will find hiking
trails, beaches for swimming, or a Nature Centre to explore. The
difficult part of your holiday will be choosing from the many activities
that will be available to you!
