Cliff Haven Huntsville
Centrally located, yet secluded. Just two hours north of GTA, this private cottage is accessible enough for a weekend jaunt, yet secluded enough that you will forget about the hustle bustle of the city. Imagine the feeling of complete relaxation and bliss. Sitting by the water, with the sounds of nature and serenity as the backdrop. The cottage is on Muskoka River and walking distance to South Mary Lake(and beach). This feels like paradise, this feels like home, this is The Cliff Haven Cottage.

Lovely clean cottage on the river. Super dock cannonballs for my older grandchildren and short distance to toddler friendly beach. We enjoyed getting the cousin crew together with plenty of room and activities for all ten of us.

Wonderful stay with friends
Our group of 9 spent four super fun days here -- weather was fantastic, made great use of the canoes and kayaks though the SUP wasn't usable as it needed air and the pump was missing. We loved the outdoor table and used it for every meal. The property had room enough for us to set up our badminton net as well. We enjoyed the fire pit and the lovely dock and of course the river itself -- the water was incredible. The river isn't super deep but deep enough to dive off the dock, which was key for the 5 kids.The house being so close to the road was a concern but there was a fence around the back of the property so didn't have to worry about the dog running onto the road. We did hear the traffic but not at night, which was great. And being able to pop down to the Port Sydney grocery store /LCBO was certainly convenient. The house itself was well appointed and had everything we needed to cook meals for our group -- just missing some plastic tumblers to take to the dock. We appreciated the abundant coffee and tea on offer and the multiple ice trays!! Those of us who enjoy reading at night definitely missed having a nightstand and lamp on each side of the beds (there was table and lamp on one side for each bed). Otherwise, house layout is great as the living room is separated enough from the kitchen that kids watching a movie doesn't interfere with adults chatting in the kitchen (or vice versa :)Overall, a really nice place to spend a few hot summer days with friends.

A Retreat in Nature
Wonderful Host and Stay for a Summer Weekend. Clean and charming. Fun on the water. Great gathering table by the kitchen, large gathering area in the family room by the bay window. Way more light would be beneficial at the back as difficult to maneuver in the dark night.

Team Retreat
Our group enjoyed our stay at Cliff Haven! Jeena was a great host, very accommodating and quick to respond to our questions. The place was well stocked and had such a cozy vibe! The only issue we encountered was with one of the bunks being quite shaky and we felt it was unsafe to use.Overall a great experience and we'd definitely book Cliff Haven again!

A great 1st time cottage rental
Fabulous location on the water. Lots of water toys for teens and adults.
The property was spacious and homey. The wifi speed was great.
This was our 1st time renting a cottage and will definitely do this again. Thank you Jenna for relying so promptly to my messages. Your cottage was exactly as stated in your pictures and description!

Cozy cottage with beautiful views.
I hosted a birthday weekend here with some friends, and I can say this is a very beautiful, well maintained cottage with incredible views of the Muskoka river. The cottage is surrounded by large trees so there's enough shade on hot summer days. The living area has large windows overlooking the river, and the deck shares the same views. There is more than enough room around the firepit so you don't have to cramp in if you're coming as a group. Unfortunately we were here on April so we couldn't enjoy the water but, we really enjoyed sitting on the floating deck to soak up some sun. Highly recommend for groups up to 10.
