Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Our contemporary, all-equipped modern home is the perfect getaway for those seeking comfort, privacy and quiet. Take a relaxing dip in the soaker tub after a hike, gaze at the starry skies while roasting the perfect marshmallow, or cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace inside the house during colder months. When you’re ready, head offsite to explore the many year-round activities and attractions nearby like Arrowhead/Algonquin Parks (2 park passes included) or fine dining in downtown Huntsville.

The space
Cliffside Retreat is your vacation destination that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Muskoka landscape and a peaceful, secluded setting away from all the crowds. Our house is a new build and has been outfitted with smart features, modern comfort, artistic flair and luxurious touches.

The main floor consists of a full bathroom and one guest room with a queen bed. Your stay includes all towels, linens, pillows and extra blankets, as well as bathroom essentials such as shampoo, conditioner and soap.

Our family spends a lot of time in the kitchen, so you will be sure to find it outfitted with the latest appliances and fully stocked with all the staples, such as tea, coffee, oil and spices, as well as pots, pans and gadgets for that perfect pancake breakfast and home cooked dinners. When the cooking is done, enjoy the delicious meal at our live edge table.

The great room offers lots of comfy seating, vaulted ceilings and views of the beautiful outdoors. Cozy up with a book or puzzle near the wood burning fireplace, or enjoy a game of cards or scrabble with your group of friends.

On the second floor you will find three more guest rooms, two with queen beds and one with a twin over full bunk. The upstairs bathroom boasts a luxury soaker tub, with additional extras to make for a relaxing dip after a day full of adventures.

The basement is the owner's private storage space and is off limits to guests. The owner's do not reside in the basement or on the property.

Venture out to the deck for a BBQ or explore the backyard, where you will find a fire pit and Muskoka chairs available for your use.

We are located just minutes away from downtown Huntsville and close to local attractions, you'll have the best of both worlds; a secluded and peaceful getaway, with easy access to the city and all it has to offer.
