Meh.
My boyfriend’s family cottage looks just like this.
But it cost a fraction of this price.
Also, the commute is 2 hrs on open country road, not parked on the 400.
Way to go @Anna, I hope you are blowing him on the way up
When you take into consideration what you’re getting, two cottages, 5.5 acres, boathouse and 728 feet of water frontage it’s really not a bad price for the Muskoka’s. Not saying that that’s what it should cost to enjoy cottage life but it’s not a bad package.
Muskoka’s are great but I’ll stay in the Kawartha’s.
