Tucked quietly along the sought-after Hwy 60 corridor, just moments from the iconic entrance to Algonquin Park, this inviting Muskoka retreat offers that rare blend of nature, nostalgia, and attainable waterfront enjoyment. Set amongst the trees with peaceful views over Pen Lake, and only steps to the beach and boat launch, it is the kind of place where mornings begin with birdsong and coffee on the deck, and evenings wind down by the fire under a canopy of stars. Inside, the warmth of pine-lined walls brings you back to a time when cottages were simple, soulful, and built for gathering. The classic Muskoka stone fireplace, now thoughtfully updated with a modern propane insert anchors the living space, inviting long conversations, cozy movie nights, and that unmistakable relaxed feeling. An additional living area offers flexibility for families to spread out, relax, and reconnect. The kitchen is both functional, welcoming and has a touch of retro, with an eat-in layout, breakfast counter, and dedicated dining area that naturally becomes the heart of the home. With three comfortable bedrooms plus a flexible office or den, there's room here for work, rest, and everything in between-whether you are hosting weekend guests or settling in for a longer stay. Outdoors, this property truly shines. The oversized detached double garage is ready to house all your Muskoka essentials-from boats and snowmobiles to tools and toys-while the bonus outbuilding opens the door to future possibilities as a bunkie or creative retreat. Located in the heart of Lake of Bays District, minutes to Huntsville, this is your opportunity to enjoy the Muskoka lifestyle-close to water, wrapped in nature, and without the premium price tag of traditional waterfront. A place where memories are made, stories are shared, and the pace of life feels exactly right.

Information on Peninsula Lake
| Peninsula Lake is located partly in the Town of Huntsville and partly in the Township of Lake of Bays. Pen Lake flows west through the canal into Fairy Lake and then into the North Branch of the Muskoka River. Access can be gained via Muskoka Rd 23 in the southwest, Muskoka Rd 9 in the southeast and Hwy 60 to the north. Peninsula Lake is the first of nine lakes listed as vulnerable in Schedule E2 of the Muskoka Official Plan(External link) (MOP) to undergo a Causation Study. The lake flows west into Fairy Lake and then into the North Branch of the Muskoka River. Peninsula Lake experienced a blue-green algae bloom in 2017 which led to the lake being classified as "vulnerable" in Schedule E2 of the MOP. In addition to experiencing a blue-green algae bloom, Peninsula Lake is a large lake located in two of Muskoka's area municipalities: the Town of Huntsville and the Township of Lake of Bays, with the potential to impact a wide variety of stakeholders. Peninsula Lake has high development potential, has received modest water quality initiative to date, and has a highly engaged Lake Association.
