About this place

Private 3 Cottage Family Compound

Welcome to Muskoka Escape. A private 3 cottage 9 bedroom family compound only 1.5 hours north of Toronto on pristine Pine Lake in Muskoka.

AREA
Located only 15 minutes from the town of Gravenhurst where you have all the conveniences of grocery stores, restaurants, Muskoka Wharf, LCBO, The Bakery, beer store and local shopping. Only 30-40 minutes away is Bala and Port Carling.

PROPERTY
Muskoka Escape is located on Pine Lake part 2 which is the less densely populated part of the lake. Pine Lake 1 is more populated and can be accessed via boat. Pine Lake 3 to the west is surrounded by all crown land and is accessible via boat as well. Muskoka Escape faces northeast with amazing sunrises. It faces undeveloped land to the north and is surrounded by acres of crown land.

A few steps to the waterfront from each cottage, you'll find 6 comfortable zero gravity chairs, 1 large umbrella, 2 paddle boats, 3 kayaks, 2 canoes, 2 SUP's and a 20'x6' swimming mat are all included. Water depth is 10+ feet off the dock and an easy-to-use dock ladder. Boat rentals can be arranged.

From the parking lot, there is a shallow ramp that leads to a large shared deck with bench seating that overlooks Pine lake.

The lower patio features a bench, 8 Muskoka chairs surrounding a large fire pit for evening s'mores (firewood included). An official size outdoor ping pong table for hours of enjoyment.

COTTAGE INFORMATION
All 3 cottages have all been renovated including new kitchens with stainless steel appliances, new living room and bedroom furniture. Each cottage is well appointed with a fully stocked kitchen including quartz countertops, water coolers, dining and living room, 3 bedrooms, bathroom, and HD satellite TV. The cottages are only a few steps away from the beautiful and quiet waters of Pine lake but separated from each other offering privacy when needed. Each cottage is outfitted with many board games, puzzles, and playing cards. All the cottages are protected with an automatic backup generator to ensure your vacation isn't interrupted.

Located a little down and away from cottage 2, this traditional Muskoka cottage has 3 bedrooms (queen, double, twin & twin bunk), vaulted ceilings, HD 50" Smart satellite TV, an open concept kitchen, dining and living area with a spectacular view up the lake.
