Welcome to our quaint and charming 1920s cottage in Burk's Falls just north of Huntsville/Muskoka.

Our home is imperfectly perfect - small and cozy, crooked n' creaky. A century home that is full of character, charm and quirks. If you are looking for refinement or polished this may not be the place for you. Our ideal guest is more of a "live and let live" guest. Ideal for small families looking for a pleasantly simple, yet unique stay.

The main floor has beautiful views of the river, and are open and spacious.

The gas-forced air furnace will keep you cozy in the winter, and the covered front veranda offers a nice breeze while you soak in the water view of the Magnetawan River.
