4 Bedroom Cottage in The Archipelago, MacTier

Very private cottage on a small bay of a much larger lake. Only one neighbor, surrounded by crown land. Main cottage has one master bedroom with king bed, newly renovated bathroom with shower and laundry, kitchen including a small dishwasher, dining room, and living room. Bunkie has two bedrooms each with a queen bed, as well with a half-bathroom. Access to the water both from the dock and from the sandy beach. Living room has a pull-out couch to accommodate more guests. Guests can enjoy satellite TV as well as a collection of DVDs and boardgames on those rare rainy days (we also provide an hdmi cable should you want to bring a computer with your own movies and tv shows).
Guests coming with kids can enjoy the sandy beach which is shared with our single neighbour (our family). There is a platform which you can swim to to jump off of, and we also have 2 canoes, 2 kayaks, and 2 paddle boards which you may use at your own responsibility (paddles included, please bring life jackets). If you have any dogs, please feel free to bring them along! Our two pups, love running around the 2 acres of property.
With a private driveway, and close access to Mactier complete with a grocery store, hardware store and LCBO you will always have those necessities near at hand. Further, with little traffic, there is excellent terrain for walks with your entire family. Port Carling is also only a 40 minute drive away, with many shops and restaurants - enjoy a day out experiencing the Muskoka culture. If you would like some nightlife, you can visit the same Port Carling, or travel only 10 minutes further to Bala, both with excellent bars and clubs.
Our property is very picturesque, with the cottage sitting directly on the Canadian Shield, and over 650 ft of waterfront. Enjoy breakfast as the sun comes up over the bay, surrounded by crown land. Or sip your morning coffee from the peacefulness of the Muskoka chairs by the lake. On a clear night, the stars are phenomenal, influenced by no light pollution. When it starts to get a little chilly, or you just want to roast some marshmallows, feel free to make use of either our outdoor fire pit near the water or our outdoor, antique wood stove where you can safely enjoy a fire with your family and friends (subject to local fire regulations).

Summary: I can’t begin to say how much we loved this place. It truly is serene! There are no neighbours on the the whole one side of the cottage which made it feel even more secluded. There’s everything you need at the cottage. We felt we just home away from home. The view every morning is breathtaking. We couldn’t get enough! Everything is so perfectly thought out for its purpose and location. We also really enjoyed building fires. And we’re so happy we were able to bring our fur pup with us as well. Some things to keep in mind, there’s about 8 mins of dirt road to the cottage from the main road. Don’t get a car wash before or if you have a 4x4 bring that. There’s also no AC at the main unit which worked out for us since it cooled down at nights and we had the windows open but make sure to check that weeks temperature. We loved the cottage so much we’re hoping to come back again and again! Jessica was awesome at responding and helping out with anything we needed. This cottage was just perfect for us and what we were looking for. Thank you!

Summary: Great vacation spot on lake Healey! The property was what we expected- had all the amenities we needed, good sheets, dishes, laundry soap, diswasher tabs etc. which is great to to have to worry about on vacation. The access to the water is amazing...many different spots to choose from (beach area, rocks, dock etc.). which makes it fun for our teenagers and dog :). You have sand for a little bit and after it's lake mud but that doesn't bother us. We used the Canoe and Kayaks quite a bit to discover the lake and went to a spot that the owner recommended to us to jump from a small cliff... lot's of fun! We loved that there was a fireplace up close to the property and lounge chairs. Bedrooms were comfortable although I would recommend adding some curtains to ALL the windows/ doors for the bunkie as the sun gets up early and we don't on vacation :). It would also be great to have an additionnal fridge because with 2 adults and 4 teenagers and food for almost a week, it would be great to have a separate fridge for the drinks (just an idea!) Owner was very fast and courteous in responding to the emails. Overall amazing week and perfect spot for a family that want a relaxing vacation to the sound of the looneys in the morning!

Summary: I really cannot say enough about this cottage. It is clean, well appointed, roomy and comfortable. Communication with Jessica was easy. We knew she was a quick email or phone call away if anything was to arise. Our boys and our dog loved running around the property! Kids jumping off the dock, fishing, kayaking, splashing at the beach. The cottage was hot when we opened it up, but as soon as those windows and doors are open the breeze off the water was absolutely lovely. It cooled everything right down. We were not expecting the bunkies by the water to be two separate rooms. With our two boys I was not sure at first, but they loved having their own private rooms! There is a pull out double couch in the main cottage for younger ones. Lots of room! Loons calling in the bay, beautiful sunsets, gorgeous pines, Canadian Shield on display. But if you can say up for it, watch that sky at night - WOW - the stars and that Mikly Way in all it's glory!! Everything Muskoka has to offer! We will definitely be back! Thank-you!!

Summary: This is the second summer vacation we have had at this cottage and we hope it becomes an annual trek! We love the cottage (it is spacious and comfortable) and the property is spectacular. This is a well-maintained and nicely appointed vacation spot. Since last year, the owners added a new water filtration system, a new dock, new dishes, an electric fireplace and new deck lounge chairs ... and we already thought it was perfect! We made use of the canoe at the cottage and rented a boat for a couple of days from Mariners Cove Marina. We had a pile of fun in the water. The fishing is great right off the dock so if you are considering this property for a vacation, bring your rod. We highly recommend this cottage.
