25% off for all Emergency Service hero/ines

Two bicycles in a field, like the one's we used to play on as kids
One summer night when I was ten years old, my older brother woke me to investigate the lights, sirens and commotion that was happening at the house across the street - my best friend's house.  I watched the emergency services rushing in and out for over an hour, with each face projecting emotions of defiance, hope, patience and eventually acceptance.  In the end, there was nothing that could be done - my best friend and his family perished in the fire that day.  
The heroics of everyone involved in that emergency call-out, however, have always stayed with me - and my brother, who's now a firefighter himself.

To pay our respects to all the folks who work so hard and witness such untold heartache, we'd like to provide this exclusive offer only available to emergency services personnel and their friends & families

Make beautiful memories

Got a question? Chat with us livePeople have been coming to vacation in Muskoka since the 19th century.  And why not when there's so much natural entertainment to choose from?  Gather your family & friends to share canoeing, fishing off the dock, playing horseshoes & volleyball, building sand castles on the beach or a round of good old fashioned board games.  Even when it's cold outside, make memories to keep you warm: ice-fishing, cross-country skiing, skating, snowmobiling, snow fort building or my personal favourite, hosting a snowman building competition

Lakeside sauna

Bask in the warmth of the wood-fired sauna while overlooking the lake.  Jump out and roll around in the snow for a refreshing (and healthy) giggle

Outdoor hot tub

Whether you like a quiet soak with your partner, or a boisterous splash with friends, enjoy the bubbles and lakeside views in the outdoor hot tub

Lots of space (sleeps 12)

Outside is more than two acres set in a forest.  Inside is spacious and open plan to maximise the sociability factor.  Besides the copious bedrooms and bathrooms (five and four, respectively), there's a separate hanging out space & two living rooms.  Life is bigger with six couches

Log fireplaces & outdoor fire pit

Sharing ghost stories is best done in front of the fire light, isn't it? Gather around the outdoor fire pit or in front of one of the beautiful log fireplaces in each of the two living rooms.  Just be sure to check under the bed before going to sleep

We love pets 

You wouldn't leave grandpa behind, would you?  (Well, you might if he insists on slurping his soup like that.) Pets are welcome for free so bring 'em along

Close to Toronto 

The road trip games won't last long - just 90 minutes from Toronto.  You'll be playing on the lake in no time

Free internet

Stay in touch with loved ones further afield.  Share your memories as they happen on the free high speed wifi available wirelessly anywhere in the cottage and outside on the deck.  Selfie anyone?
