Muskoka Lakefront Cottage Private Dock Fire Pit Kayaks •Spectacular Sunset Views

Wake up to glistening lake views and the sounds of nature at this peaceful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage on beautiful Skeleton Lake. Perfect for families or couples, this charming Muskoka retreat offers a private dock, fire pit, and kayaks for unforgettable days on the water — and cozy evenings under the stars.

Located just minutes from Utterson and a short drive to Huntsville, this home blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck at sunrise or roasting marshmallows by the fire, you’ll feel a world away — yet close to everything Muskoka has to offer.

❄️ Winter Wonderland

When the lake freezes and the snow blankets the trees, the cottage transforms into a Muskoka winter paradise. Spend your days skating on the ice, snowshoeing through forest trails, or exploring nearby snowmobile routes. In the evenings, warm up inside or gather around the outdoor fire pit for hot chocolate under a star-filled sky.

Close to Hidden Valley Ski Resort, Arrowhead Provincial Park’s Ice Trail, and charming Huntsville’s winter markets, this cozy lakeside cottage is the perfect place to embrace the magic of a Muskoka winter.
