Welcome!
We love sharing Trenanthia Cottage because we reckon
Life is bigger™ together
She's pronounced truh•NAN•thi•ahhh as a tribute to relaxing with Grandma, and there's three lakeside cottages spread around Muskoka - each similarly fabulous, with their own independent loveliness:
Bring a dozen of your favourite peeps to soak up the outdoor hot tub & sauna, the vintage games room, the big sandy beach with horseshoes, & the copious water toys (yep, they all have a canoe!)
We're Open All Year with lakeside fire pits & log fireplaces to snuggle in front of with your Fur Family (also yep, pets are welcome). Bliss~
And, it's always been more than sharing a roof over our heads...
Way more.
Way more.

To this day, we're not sure if our grandparents whisked us away for a reprieve, or just because they wanted to spend time with us.
Either way, it was wonderful!
Almost every weekend in the warm weather, they’d pick us kids up in their big yellow school bus that they’d converted into an RV-of-sorts. We’d spend time in nature, laughing & playing during the day, and enjoying each other’s company around the fire pit in the evenings.
Those times together meant more than just the memories we still cherish to this day - it was also a lifeline.
There is no better salve for the wounds of an underprivileged childhood, than the joy of spending time away from it all.
To be able to imagine the world as a better, kinder place. To build hope that there is more to life than what we see, feel & experience each day.
To dream of something more.
It is these dreams that have brought Trenanthia Cottage to life. We wish to share 'er with everyone out there - and most especially with those who need a little bit of ...
