Step back in time and spend your summer at a historic Muskoka lakefront cottage - a property that’s been featured in several history books and cherished by generations.
Located just 10 minutes from downtown Huntsville, this classic cottage sits on the south shore of Fairy Lake at the end of a quiet private lane. Built in the early 1930s, it blends near-century-old charm with modern comforts, offering a peaceful retreat on 3 private acres with a dock and shallow sandy waterfront. The cottage comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 bedrooms, making it ideal for families or small groups looking for a traditional Muskoka experience.
Enter through the original antique front door into an open living and dining area that stretches across the entire width of the cottage. The cozy living room features comfortable seating, a wood-burning stove, television with Wi-Fi streaming, and a selection of board games for relaxing evenings indoors. The dining area includes a large wooden harvest table perfect for shared meals and family gatherings. From here you can access the screened-in porch through a charming Dutch door or through the front porch entry.
Just off the dining room is the spacious kitchen, which opens onto the back deck and BBQ area, ideal for summer cooking and outdoor dining. The main floor bedroom (with a queen bed) is located beside the living room.
The second floor includes three additional bedrooms, each furnished with a double bed, along with the cottage bathroom, which has been recently updated.
The property offers plenty of space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Guests can park up to four vehicles in the shaded parking area among the trees. Closer to the lake, a stone firepit sits on the large lawn - perfect for summer evenings roasting marshmallows and enjoying the stars. Please follow local fire regulations during your stay.
To the left of the cottage (when facing the lake) is a flat plateau area ideal for lawn games and outdoor activities. Behind the cottage you’ll find a back deck with BBQ, clothesline for drying swimwear or hand-washed items, and outhouse that supplements the indoor bathroom. For laundry needs, two laundromats are available in nearby Huntsville.
The cottage sits in a quiet bay on Fairy Lake, making it especially peaceful for swimming and relaxing. Water depth around the private dock is typically knee-to-waist deep for an average adult during summer, and the lake bottom is mostly sandy. Guests are welcome to enjoy dock chairs by the water and storage bins with water toys and life jackets. Please note: the boathouse shown in photos is not accessible to guests.
Fairy Lake is one of the four main lakes in the Huntsville chain and connects to Lake Vernon, Peninsula Lake, and Mary Lake (via lock system). Guests may dock one motorized watercraft at the cottage during their stay. Nearby boat launches are available on Brunel Road and at the marina across the lake on Highway 60.
To help keep rental and cleaning rates reasonable, guests are asked to bring their own linens, including sheets, blankets, pillowcases, and bath and dock towels. There is no laundry on-site. Between guests, the cottage is thoroughly cleaned, and all hand and dish towels are freshly washed.
For the protection of both guests and the property, the cottage driveway is monitored 24/7.
