Winter break
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We were 5 adults staying for a week. The space was great, the hiking in both Algonquin and Arrowhead was easy to reach and the table tennis table was an unexpected bonus!

Nice stay
Nice rustic cottage. Overall family enjoyed swimming in the clear lake and sitting on the dock. Beds were ok and great large master. It is a busy section of the lake but we expected that based on other reviews and were not bothered. There was a dog park directly in front which was an amazing surprise. There are some updates needed that would make this cottage worth the price. Owner very responsive before arrival.

About the host

Hosted by Terry Spiers

Host profile image
Terry and Mark live and work in Toronto and spend half of their time in Muskoka. They have a passion for all things cottage and lovingly restored this cottage with antique barn board floors and walls, and furnished with sturdy and comfortable antique furniture making it the perfect place to spend a summer vacation. Terry is a food and prop stylist in Toronto and Mark works for Air Canada.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for the beautiful westerly views, blazing sunsets and its gentle and pretty slope to the waterfront. The lake is crystal clear and great for swimming with warm calm waters and a lovely sandy beach, perfect for children. We were enticed by the fact that Clear Lake is located just 10 minutes from all Hunstville has to offer. The area residents are friendly, helpful and full of pride for the area. This area is blessed to be part of the great Canadian Shield.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the brick fireplace and the openness of the main floor. The huge master bedroom with its vintage floors and wood slat ceiling also stole our hearts! The cottage is 1600 square feet of living space, big enough for the family but with a cozy feel. The perfect view of the water from the main or master bedroom deck is one of the best on the lake. Unique benefits are quiet and calm lake, warm for swimming, with sand packed bottom good for swimmers of all ages. Lovely sandy beach with shallow water for small children. Wonderful treed area with wildlife and bird watching. Early mornings can be spent on the dock or decks with a coffee, while you listen to the resident loons on the lake calling to each other.
