âĄLooking to escape the hustle? Wanna chill out with friends or family for a weekend? Experience making tasty s'mores at the bonfire with your kids. Watch as they put their screens down, hunt for frogs & get back to life. Grab lunch at the yellow picnic tables on the huge dock. Toss the volleyball around in the sand court, whip together a game with your buddies! Listen to the roaring motors of boats zooming through the channel. Grab a bevy! Chill out by the campfire after a fun day in the sun. Gaze at the countless stars from a Muskoka chair at your fire pit in the front yard. Your tranquil island getaway awaits you. A charming waterfront space that is ready for your stayâĄ
Please read the entire description. It will help set expectations. Or at LEAST read the big bullet points ;)
â We live on-site with 2 guardian dogs (a maremma sheepdog & a maremma/border collie). They will more than likely make their way over for a quick visit during your stay. They're well-trained & very friendly.
â Bring water to drink (the water here is from a well; it's fine for showering & doing dishes).
â Located on an island. Access is by drive-on ferry. Getting on costs $10/vehicle but leaving the island is free. There are only houses on the island so please plan your trip accordingly. Be sure to bring all your groceries with you!
