Summary of reviewsGuests had a superb stay at the property, enjoying the well-equipped cottages, host hospitality, outdoor activities like kayaking and fishing, and the serene environment.

This was our second year staying here. Much of our stay was spent indoors, as weather and other conditions made it impossible to be outside. This did not diminish our enjoyment, as the cabins are cozy and well suited to an indoor stay. There is a lovely selection of board games and puzzles, which are well maintained (ie, clean and not missing pieces). The couches are clean and comfortable and the tvs are great for movie nights.
All the cabins have big windows facing the lake, so the view can be thoroughly enjoyed, even from inside.
This is a great place for a multi-family getaway.

We have been staying at the Muskoka Escape Family Cottages for the last 8 years and can’t wait until next year! The upgrades of a/c, a hot tub, paving stones, and kitchen improvements make the already amazing private location even better. Marshall and Stephanie are excellent hosts who alway respond quickly to any questions or needs. Our family has grown but all 16 of us enjoy this incredible “home away from home!”

This was our 5th year staying here, and somehow it gets better every year. The cottages are always spotless, well-maintained, and have everything needed for a relaxing getaway. It’s the perfect place for families to make memories, have fun, and truly unwind.
The attention to detail and hospitality keep us coming back year after year. We’ve had so many unforgettable moments here and are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean, fun, and memorable cottage experience!

Wow, what a true gem! Photos do not justify the peaceful serenity of this property. The entire 360º view is just beautiful. The plush forest, birds chirping away, slight rustling of the tree canopy above – I instantly became relaxed as soon as i stepped out of the car. The property is very clean, well maintained and the landscaped steps down to the water was great. A really nice surprise was the hammock and the elevated view overlooking the bay and sunsets on the southwest side of the property. My wife and I enjoyed taking advantage of the canoe/kayaks for some mid afternoon paddles and relaxing under the stars at night next to the campfire was a real treat. We are already talking about another visit next year :)
