We had a fantastic week and enthusiastically recommend this rental.
The property is large, private and is perched on top of a hill overlooking Moon River. The views are stunning, both in the daylight and at night, when the moonlight makes the waters shimmer. Whomever restored the property spared no expense, especially the landscaping. The landscape is beautifully manicured and is perfect for a families with kids.
The farmhouse is 120 years old, but was very carefully and stylishly restored. E.g., the kitchen is light-filled and has 20-foot vaulted ceilings. We especially liked that not everything was completely modernized. The furniture is a blend of old and new. The kitchen table is old and rustic, while the living room couch is modern, chic and comfortable. On rainy days, we especially enjoyed the inventory of board games and the television station.
The host really went out of her way to maximize comfort and ease during our stay. The property is especially well-resourced. There are many pieces of outdoor equipment to keep the family entertained (e.g., hot tub, kayaks, lily pad and corn hole, among others). But beyond the inventory of âtoysâ, the interior of the property is especially well-resourced. We really got the sense that we were staying at someoneâs cottageâa cottage used by the ownersârather than a rental property.
Parts of Muskoka look a tad swampy. Moon River is not like that. The water was warm and seemingly clean.
We had a wonderful week.
