Luxurious, comfortable accommodation awaits in this spacious Acton Island cottage on lovely, sought-after Lake Muskoka, near Bala. A good road leads from the mainland onto the popular island. The five bedroom, four bathroom main cottage may be rented on its own. For larger groups or extra privacy, the interior of the boathouse may be added to allow additional sleeping space and a second kitchen and living area and bathroom. Relax on the boathouse deck with its comfortable sitting areas that offer sun or shade, dive into the deep water, explore the waters of Lake Muskoka, or relax by the fireplace. There is something here for everyone.
A large, screened porch opens into the main level of the cottage. Here, a well-equipped kitchen awaits, with its gleaming granite countertops and large island with seating. The kitchen opens into a comfortable sitting room with view of the water. A dining room/living room adjoins this room, and the wood-burning fireplace adds ambience and gives the option of another sitting area with lake view. A laundry room and powder room on this level complete the picture.
The upper level of the cottage has four large bedrooms. The first boasts a king-sized bed with ensuite and lake view; the second has a queen and another lake view. Bunk beds in the last two bedrooms allow various configurations of sleeping, as there are double and single beds in the bunks. A second bathroom can be found on this level.
The teenagers of the group will appreciate the lower level of the cottage. Here there is a large recreation room with wide-screen television, enormous sectional couch, and another bunk bed. Another room on this level holds a ping pong table and a small kitchen area for snack preparation with refrigerator, sink and microwave. There is a bedroom with single bed and a four-piece bathroom on this level.
For groups who choose to use the boat house, there is additional sleeping and living space in a beautiful setting with lovely lake views and cooling breezes. The bedroom in the boathouse has large windows to view the morning sunrise or listen to the lap of the water and the call of the loon. A kitchen in the boathouse has all that is needed to prepare a simple meal or snack, and a comfortable sitting area with propane fireplace completes the romantic setting.
The waterfront of the cottage is accessed by a series of steps that lead to the upper level of the boathouse and its extensive decking. This will soon become a favourite spot. A large, teak table is located beside the outdoor propane fireplace for wonderful evening entertaining. The roof over this area creates a Muskoka Room in the truest sense! There is a choice of sun or shade in the various sitting areas on the boathouse, with comfortable chairs and tables provided.
Steps lead to the lower docks of the boathouse. Here, there is a covered boat slip and open dock area from which to swim in the deep water. A small, contained area near shore has a depth of about 4 feet and a sand bottom for early swimmers. The interior of the boathouse has two boat slips, a two-piece bathroom, washer/dryer and refrigerator. A small, screened area has a bar counter and lake view.
The town of Bala is only minutes away and offers interesting shops, the Bala Falls, The Key to Bala (a famous night spot), Don’s Bakery, and several eating places. In October, the Cranberry Festival is the place to be, or take a self-guided tour of the cranberry marsh year round. Explore the Bala Museum, which features Lucy Maud Montgomery (who vacationed in Bala in 1922 and is famous for Anne of Green Gables).
This area has something for everyone and this cottage is the place from which to do it!
