4 Bedroom Cottage in Port Carling

WE DO NOT PROVIDE SHEETS, DUVETS OR TOWELS. Pillows, pillow & mattress protectors are provided. Linens can be provided for an extra cost.
NOTE: If you are. five-star guest, search "The Port Carling River House" for additional savings.
The River House is well suited to young and old alike. Situated on one acre of level land and with 330' of waterfront, the single level residence can sleep up to seven people in its two bedrooms (one with a Queen bed, and one with a convertible Twin/King and Chaise/Single), a sunroom with Double sized sofa bed, and Double sofa bed in the living room. The house is a true shabby-chic cottage, yet it has heat, electricity, running water, and other comforts of home. However, the house is not what you've come for!
With its strategic location on a one acre point of level land, and surrounded by 330' of water, you get practically every exposure from the dock with the exception of true West; though due to the shape of the neighbouring River Delta, there are excellent sunsets from the dock through the summer.
The cottage itself is set back only 20 feet from the water at the front side, and boasts a large side yard (towards the dock) and a huge back yard. Historic placement of the cottage on the land, and some well placed mature trees, afford quite a bit of separation from the neighbours. You have all the privacy of a Muskoka cottage with easy access to the urban amenities of Port Carling.​
At night, you can sit under the magnificent Muskoka stars, listen to the loons call, or enjoy a quiet campfire. ​
You can relax on the large dock, or in the new five-person hot tub, and possibly see the historic steamship Segwun or Wenonah go by, or enjoy the parade of antique boats that travel the river. Fishing from the dock or birdwatching can be excellent as you watch the sun go down over the river delta, and the kids can play on the level land with shallow water at the shoreline.
The dock is an oversized, steel structured dock with 400sq ft of decking. As well, for your boating enjoyment, there is a protected slip in which to moor your boat, and enjoy uninhibited swimming off the front.
A ten minute boatride can take you to either Lake Muskoka (direct), Rosseau, or Joseph (through the historic Port Carling Locks). Paddle directly across the river (about 200 yards) to the best playground in Muskoka at Hanna Park, which also hosts the local Farmer's Market on Thursdays. There is a boat launch, small walking/biking trail, volleyball court and great beach at Hanna Park as well.
Take a short drive, or paddle into Port Carling for great shopping, gourmet food, and amazing nightlife. For some longer excursions, the River House is a fifteen minute drive from numerous excellent hiking trails, and a half hour drive from the Towns of Bracebridge or Gravenhurst.
You are responsible for your own cleaning, such that our cleaners can focus on sanitization, and you will be subject to additional charges if the property is not left in the condition to which you arrived. Damages must be reported to the owner immediately.

Summary: Amy was wonderful host and ambassador for the Port Carling/Muskoka area making some great suggestions as to sights to see. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable and the hot tub was a bonus!. Any hicups we had were quickly addressed and corrected. One of the best features was sitting on the large dock with a refreshment in hand and watching the antique boats cruising by, all in all a great location for a relaxing holiday, thank you Amy,

Summary: Enjoyed our stay. The location and cottage is as advertised. 5 min paddle to Port carling and right across from Hanna beach. Great big dock and while it’s quite busy travel way for boats it was still easy enough to find times to swim.

Summary: Our recent week-long stay at River Cottage left much to be desired. Despite the property’s potential and scenic location, its placement on a particularly busy section of the lake detracted from the tranquility we had anticipated. The issues we encountered were numerous and significant:       1.    Cleanliness: The cottage was not properly cleaned prior to our arrival; we found dirty dishes left in the oven, and all windowsills were full of bugs and spiderwebs.       2.    Electrical Issues: The electrical outlets in the bedroom and on the exterior of the cottage were not functional.       3.    Odor and Vermin Problem: A pervasive and unpleasant smell permeated the cottage, which was later identified as coming from a dead rodent in the walls. The property owner acknowledged that vermin frequently enter the walls and die. Although a maintenance person provided us with four air fresheners, this was insufficient to address the underlying problem. We also observed mice entering and exiting the building throughout the week, which was concerning and unpleasant.   4. Laundry machine broke. We fixed it. 5. Structurally this building is falling apart inside and out. OVERALL misleading property HOW it has over 4 Stars is seriously questionable.

Summary: Amy communicated with us about the property when we had any questions. We enjoyed our time on the large dock, around the fire pit, and around the kitchen table. So close to Port Carling and other attractions. Thank you Amy.

Summary: Our stay at the property was fantastic. Amy was very helpful in communicating with us about what to expect and remained responsive throughout. The property gave the kids plenty to keep busy with and the huge dock space gave everyone a great place to swim, sunbathe, fish and just have fun. Thank you for sharing your place with the world - a wonderful place to relax!

Summary: Great location with lots to do. Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side so we didn't get to swim in the lake however we got some fishing in and some nibbles. The cottage has everything you need, just bring some linens and food. Lots of great small businesses in town as well.

Summary: Amy's location with the property jutting out on the lake was by far the best of all the cottages there. You really could enjoy the lake and the dock being so far out on the lake was a really cool experience. The views were spectacular, and there were even some leaves turning adding to the colour. The hot tub given the temperatures were a bit on the cool side was put to good use. Our family was very comfortable there and being so close to Port Carling was so convenient.
