Lake muskoka— browning island

www.lakemuskokacottages.com

Located on the south west side of Browning Island, Lake Muskoka (just east of Cariquette Island) this "boat access only" private, this small, but cozy, two bedroom cottage features westerly and north westerly view and 170' of private treed and sunny shoreline. The cottage sleeps up to 4 but is best suited to a couple.

Enjoy stunning sunset views from multiple sitting areas, a private deck by the cottage, a sitting area by the boathouse or a private point. Excellent swimming with both shallow and deep water and a raft to catch rays of afternoon sun. West and North exposure and typical day-long breeze from the open waters to the west make this location virtually bug-free during daylight hours.

The waterway is quiet both on weekends and during the week as the only traffic is from one of your few island neighbours. This cottage provides the true "on the water" Muskoka experience. Should you wish more privacy or have a desire to accommodate a group of 8 to 10 in comfort, rent the neighbouring cottage next door. Both cottages together provide total privacy, your own private point and over 330' of shoreline.
