----------
Welcome to "The Yellow Cottage", a true Muskoka getaway! Both Kevin and Jackie have been coming up to Muskoka our entire lives and we feel very grateful to call it our home. The Yellow Cottage is along a point of land that has been in our family since the early 1940’s and after 5 generations, we still choose to spend as much time as possible at the cottage. The Yellow Cottage was built in 2004 and over the last four years Kevin has fully renovated each and every room. It has been a lot of work but a hugely rewarding experience for our family. We have spent so much time trying to provide a happy, peaceful feeling and we are excited to share this with you. We love our cottage and we hope you do to!
The Yellow Cottage is an amazing 4 season, 3660 sq. ft., modern rustic cottage on Acton Island (road accessible via Acton Island bridge) in the heart of Muskoka. It is situated on a long quiet bay perfect for any water sport, and only a 10 min boat ride to Bala, and 20 min boat ride to Port Carling. It's south-west exposure means you'll get sun all day long capped off by beautiful sunsets that beam in through the screened in Muskoka and Living rooms. Touches like the hand crafted wood floors, selection of handmade furniture (both created by Kevin), clean simple and modern rustic trim, and the easy flow of the layout will help make any family getaway a relaxing and fulfilling experience.
Starting down at the lake, there is an expansive on-land deck with two built in cargo-net style hammock beds right at the waters edge, with a long finger dock with amble boat parking. There is an 8'x 8' floating swim raft off shore, and both an easy shallow entry with stairs, or deep water off the end of the dock for jumping off of. The deck offers a sweeping view of the bay and out to the main channel past Muskadasa Island, and enjoys all day sun right to sunset. The typical breeze keeps the bugs away much of the season, and provides a great respite from the heat on warmer summer days. Up from the dock area is a terraced fire pit with fire ring and some firewood provided. Sit around and roast marshmallows, or just enjoy the fire light on the trees, and when you're done, we've made it easy by providing a tap and hose right at the pit for dousing the fire.
The open concept main floor which includes the kitchen, dining room, living room, and screened in Muskoka Room provides a large space for spending time together and brings the outdoors inside being surrounded by windows on all sides. Open the two sets of full wall french doors to let the breeze gently flow through on warmer days, or bask in the warm light of mid-afternoon winter days. The main floor also has a separate "parlour" complete with writing desk, games table and seating also surrounded by large windows. The 100 year old french doors allow you to close it off to the house allowing you to sneak away for some quiet time.
The upper floor has a common 3 piece bathroom with a sliding glass door stall shower, and three bedrooms. The "Upstairs Master" includes a 4 piece en-suite with hanging barn door made of 80 year old Hemlock which also makes up the large feature wall behind the hand made pine King sized platform bed. The room provides a tree-house like experience because of the two large 6'x6' windows that make up the majority of the front wall. Pull out a book and curl up with a blanket on the settee by the windows. The second bedroom is a good sized room with a view of the lake and a queen sized iron bed. The third bedroom, also good size, provides two Twin XL sized beds, extra long for adults, but still great for the kids.
The lower floor includes the Theatre / Rec Room, Laundry facilities, a large 3 piece bathroom with glass shower stall, and two more bedrooms including the "Downstairs Master". The rec room is complete with 75" 4k TV, live edge counter, hand crafted coffee table, and large couches, The 4th bedroom in the cottage has a large handmade timber frame King sized bed and matching side tables, with a great ground level view right out to the lake. The Downstairs Master has its own large platform style King sized bed, double his and hers closets, and a private patio out the sliding glass doors which also provide a stunning view of the lake.
