Muskoka Waterfront Retreat

Muskoka Waterfront Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"Great location right on Lake of Bays, perfect for paddling on the Oxtongue River or swimming and paddle boarding off the dock. The dock offered a great dark sky to see the stars on comfy Muskoka Chairs. Also really appreciated the way the property is illuminated with sensors, helping you feel safe and able to navigate the property in the evenings. The cabin was simple, yet well stocked with everything we needed for a long weekend. The chairs, sofa and bed were all comfortable. Very clean inside. Felt the bathroom was a bit tight; however for 2 nights it wasn't an issue. Only request is for more prompt and personalized communication when asking a question. I sent the same question a few times while on property and received a templated response that was never followed up on. In the end, it was not important; however had it been this could have been an issue."
