Classic older cedar lode pole construction. This family cottage is like many constructed around the muskoka lakes region by family's in the fifty's. Single pane windows and a general lack of insulation served well in summer months, but does nothing for the modern user in winter. Many of these were built with poor foundations as well.This older style yet newly built timberframe home with its extended roof line and porch protection means these owners took care to consider the elements in building this home

 Wonderful over the boat slips bunkie and covered deck area. The vews would be terrific from the boathouse deck on a stary night. Not as common as they used to be on lake simcoe by Orillia, boathouses need careful inspection and repairs as they often cannot be replaced. This open boathouse,dock,and lift system is both well built and well cared for, unlike some I have inspected around the lakes.
