Cottage of the Week: $7,500 a week for a Muskoka lakefront estate, complete with boathouse
Cottage of the Week: $7,500 a week for a Muskoka lakefront estate, complete with boathouse
ADDRESS: Hemlock Point Side Road South, Port Sandfield
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Lake Joseph, Muskoka
AGENT: Available through CottagePortal.com
PRICE: $7,500 a week
THE PLACE: An expansive estate on the waterfront boasting sleeping quarters for eight, a sunny terrace, a furnished boathouse and a dock.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: Los Angeles-based designer Kelly Baron designed and built the cottage, and her attention to detail—flooring made from hemlock reclaimed from local barns, fixtures based loosely on the Las Ventanas resort in Mexico, a bathtub with a view of the treetops—makes the place feel more like a luxe retreat than a rental cottage.
BIG SELLING POINT: You’re actually getting two cottages, not one. Send the kids to sleep in the spacious, furnished boathouse while you relax in the peace and quiet of the main house.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The owner plans to list the property soon, so be sure not to fall in love with the place—or have enough saved up for a down payment before you do.
BY THE NUMBERS:
• $7,500 a week
• Sleeps 8
• 6-burner gas range
• 4 bedrooms
• 4 bathrooms
• 1 sauna
• 1 boathouse
• 1 housekeeping visit per week

Beautifully staged.
$7,500 for a week?? Do you know how much vacation one can get for $7,500?! And it wouldn’t include cooking for yourself/guests and/or cleaning up afterwards. Brutal! Shame on whoever drops $7,500 for one week!
Gorgeous cottage, seems really reasonable to me for a weeks vacation in a waterfront home with privacy, and all of the amenities shown, considering a hotel villa would be at least twice as much.
Seems like a great relaxing vacation to me.
Hotel vacations are great, but nothing like your own private beautiful home and no &60.00 room service coffee with a fruit plate.
It’s lovely but $7,500 for 4 bedrooms for one week? Good luck with that.
Wow! This has R&R written all over it…gorgeous…it’s a steal compared to the Hamptons.
