www.lakemuskokacottages.com

Located on the south west side of Browning Island, Lake Muskoka (just east of Cariquette Island) this "boat access only" private, newly built cottage (completed in June of 2009) features an open concept design, flooring ceiling windows, a stunning lake one-mile long view to the and 160' of private treed and sunny shoreline. The cottage sleeps up to 8 but is best suited to a family, ideal occupancy in comfort is 5 to 6 individuals.

Enjoy stunning sunset views from two separate sitting areas, a private deck by the cottage or a sitting area by the boathouse. Excellent swimming with both shallow and deep water, granite steps into the lake and a small sandy beach area. The cottage also has west exposure which provides for a sunny shoreline and decks from 10:00 am to sunset. A typical day-long breeze from the open waters to the west make this location virtually bug-free during daylight hours.

The cottage features an open concept design with a great room, floor to ceiling windows on the lake side, water-views on three sides from the sunroom, custom kitchen with granite countertops, hardwood and slate flooring, 20 foot ceilings, ceiling fans in each room, 2 fireplaces (one wood burning, the other propane), 2 bathrooms (one with whirlpool), 3 queen beds + two bunk beds, 52 inch plasma TV with DVD, satellite TV, high speed internet, 2 large decks and multiple sitting areas by the water.

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 two families or a group of 8 to 10 in real comfort, rent the neighbouring cottage next door. Both cottages together provide total privacy, your own private point and over 330' of shoreline.
