Sleeping Arrangements Master Bedroom: 1 Queen Bed with a 2pc bathroom Bedroom 2: 1 Queen Bed Bedroom 3: 1 Queen Bed Bedroom 4: 1 Bunkbed (Twin over Twin) Lower Level: 2 Queen Beds (pullout sofas) All of our beds come with freshly laundered bed linens, pillows, and duvets. Situated in quiet Starr Bay off Lake Scugog, it’s the perfect place for boating and fishing. We offer two kayaks and a paddle boat. Down the street there is a public boat launch. We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront with our guests and thus want to be clear regarding the lake conditions on Starr Bay. Even though the water is swimmable; The water in Starr Bay is clear but very shallow and weedy in a portion of the shallowest areas, making it harder to swim. For guests that decide not to swim in the shallow area, the kayaks & paddleboat is an excellent transportation tool to venture out to the deeper regions of Starr Bay or further into Lake Scugog to swim. Further, our cottage is supplied by well water. Due to below normal rainfall and low lake levels the WELL water supply is limited. Unlike city water, a well can run dry, especially if lots of water gets used at one time. We ask if you book our cottage with a larger group to please be conscious of your usage. We will provide bottled drinking water for convenience Indoor Features: Freshly laundered bed linens and pillows Towels (face, hand, body, and outdoor) Hand soap and complimentary toiletries Toilet paper, paper towel, garbage and recycling bags Dish soap and dishwasher detergent Kitchen essentials (dishes, cutlery, bakeware, cookware, cooking utensils, etc.) Dyson Vacuum Bose portable speakers Hair Dryer Central heating and air conditioning Outdoor Features: 7-person, all-season jacuzzi Propane BBQ Various game and sports equipment 2 kayaks, paddle boat, and life jackets Fire pit Large dock - docks are in the water from: April 1 - October 31 Muskoka chairs 2 outdoor dining areas Our preferred check in/out day is Fridays - if you would like to check in or out on a different day please inquire with your dates and we will let you know if we can accommodate your request.
