External Features

Area Attractions:

• At nearby Bala, you can enjoy a variety of summer activities. Bala is known as the Cranberry Capital, amongst other things.  Take a peek at their website to plan some of your vacation activities. www.bala.net
   
• Bracebridge is not far away. For those who enjoy planning active holidays, there are festivals, museums and a wildlife centre to name just a few. The site also covers other events in the surrounding area as well.  www.bracebridge.com
   
• Bracebridge also has fine dining available for those who would like to pamper themselves a bit during their vacation.  Families can enjoy a beautiful view of the Muskoka River while indulging their sweet tooth on dessert or giving the family chef a break at the Riverview Fine Dining restaurant in the Muskoka Riverside Inn, to name one.  For your convenience, here is a list of restaurants and fine dining in the area.  www.bracebridge.com/dining_restaurants.html

Available Amenities:

• Just over the island bridge there is a small well-equipped town as well as variety stores nearby.
   
• There is a general store at the end of the island road that provides basic necessities such as groceries, bait for fishing, gasoline, propane, accessories to further enhance your leisure time in the lake, and a few other vacation basics.
   
• The cottage has two or three parking spaces depending on the size of your vehicle.  There is also extended space on the road, where the daring can park at their own risk.
   
• Boat launching is available in Bala, about 15 minutes from the cottage by car to pick up your boat and about 10 minutes from the cottage by boat (to return the boat, of course).
   

Vacation Fun:

• Because the cottage is located right on the water front you can enjoy fishing either from the dock or on a boat trip around the Muskoka Lakes, where you can take in the best that the lake has to offer.  As with any Ontario Lake you are required to possess a valid fishing license.
   
• Perfect for sunbathing, there is a custom made, wood raft 30-35 feet out in the water from shore, and the roof of the boathouse has been finished and fenced in for the splash-sensitive as well as for the safety of smaller children.

• For late night hours, there is a cozy fire pit, next to the south end of the cottage.  Please check with us when you arrive, to learn whether or not there is a ban on having campfires due to possible drought conditions.
   
• For your further relaxation, there are lawn chairs, recliners and a patio set available for use on the patio, porch and around the fire pit.

Internal Features

Available conveniences:

• In total the three bedrooms can accommodate up to 6 adults.  There is also a pull out couch for up to two overnight guests; please ask about the availability and restrictions for entertaining overnight guests during your stay.
• Sheets, pillow cases, comforters and hand towels are provided. Please bring your own bath towel.
• The cottage is equipped with kitchen stove, microwave, coffee maker, frying pan, kettle, fridge, cutlery and dishes.
• To cool down on hot days, the lake is recommended.  There is also a fan in the cottage to maintain a comfy breeze.
• The bathroom has a newly updated shower, in addition to indoor plumbing. (There is no bathtub.)

Note: No cleaning or maid services are provided; fresh linens are provided.
 

Entertainment:

• For rainy days, a TV, DVD player, VCR, and a radio/CD player is available for your use. (They're not restricted to rainy days of course, but we fully expect you will be making good use of the lake because chances are you  have the TV, DVD player and all of those goodies at home but you probably don't have a lake on a secluded island.)
   
• For quiet time, some board games are provided.

Safety Information:

• Emergency 911 Service and property numbering.
• Fire extinguisher & smoke detectors.
• Phone service is only set for local outbound calling and emergency 911 calls.
