895 feet of frontage on Lake Muskoka; very level with wonderful privacy. This iconic Muskoka cottage property for sale, is definitely a rare find. The virtual tour is a good way to get some sense of this rare property. It’s nothing like walking the real thing though. There’s more information on the ad details here and in this previous … Read more
After showing cottages by boat (they were mostly island cottages for sale) on Lake Muskoka and Lake Rosseau all day Saturday, we knew that we had planned well. We finished up around 6:00 pm at the top of Lake Rosseau, in Cameron Bay across from the Village of Rosseau, and just in time for dinner. … Read more

As mentioned in previous posts, cottage owners and cottage buyers want to know about water quality on lakes in Muskoka. Because water quality has a direct relationship to property value, and algae – particularly algal blooms – directly affect water quality, we all want to know as much as we can .

In addition to this local Muskoka support, Catharine has donated another $800.00 to the Royal LePage National Shelter Foundation.

Quick Update: We are having some crazy weather here – like many other places. Strong winds with above-seasonal temperatures overnight.
