1.5 hours from Toronto, our beautiful Sparrow Lake Muskoka Point Zen Cottage sits in a sloping theatre of tall pines privacy, walk-in sandy beach & step-stone swim spot
Enjoy serene morning coffee (ZEN-Cinos?) with loons & herons on our boathouse dock, hot lazy summer days, colourful Fall ones, stunning sunsets, starry skies, & special bonfire nights! A Mesmerizing Retreat, Escape, or Paradise however defined, the "Point IS ZEN" Rates
ABOUT THE PLACE:
Point ZEN is not just your traditional cottage or grounds - enter a winding forest lane among tall pines to your very own lakeside retreat, a peaceful getaway and so much more. Enjoy a traditional Muskoka landscape of granite and forest at the back and a gorgeous manicured green playground in front. A perfect place to relax on the beautiful grounds, lakeside, or inside with your feet up with a glass of wine, reading or working on a puzzle you've long wanted to finish.
For a more active day, try a game of golf at the nearby Lake St. George or Evergreen Golf Courses, or a day boating from the Marina. We are 15 minutes from Orillia and Gravenhurst for easy access to restaurants, groceries and Muskoka's many attractions if you fancy a day out.
Sparrow Lake is the most southerly lake in the popular Muskoka tourist region. The lake was named after a William Sparrow, an Englishman, who fished and hunted the area in the 19th century. It is also famous as being the northern setting for the Showcase TV show Paradise Falls. Various settings and lodges around the lake were used for filming. It is also home to Sparrow Lake Camp (founded 1912), the oldest children's recreational camp operated by the United Church of Canada.
Across the bay from our cottage is historic Port Stanton, an early steamship port and home to one of Ontario's first railway lines for tourists that is still in operation. You may hear the odd train whistle from across the lake and far away, sufficiently in the distance to evoke nostalgic memories of pioneering times gone by.
The cottage features 4 bedrooms inside - 1 with a queen bed and 3 doubles.
All fresh bedding linens and bath towels are included. Please bring separate beach towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with all dishes and appliances for your use. Cooking oil, some spices and essential fridge condiments are provided. We also have a great new water cooler that combines cold/hot drinking water for tea, and a Keurig coffee maker all in one fancy machine! An initial tray of K-Cups is yours to enjoy!
There are board games, books, and wifi for entertainment on a 55" Smart TV for rainy days.
Highspeed Wi-Fi if you need to work from the cottage. A powerful router gives great coverage over the entire property. (It is satellite service so a back up hotspot for big rain days "might" be needed).
Email us with any specific property questions!

- Highspeed Wifi included
- New BBQ on patio

REVIEWS | | Ted |  |
| We would like to begin by thanking you for sharing your cottage with us, it is a lovely cottage and our family really enjoyed our 3 day weekend there, taking in the beauty of nature, listening to the birds honk, along with enjoying some wonderful sunsets and early morning views. It was so peaceful and quite.
Your property truly lives up to "its name" and we found sitting out in your muskoka chairs enjoying our coffee along with the geese was a really healing and meditative experience. We also enjoyed the use of the various games that you had available which were fun to play and encouraged family bonding.
We would certainly love to stay there again.

Owner response: Hi Ted, Thanks so much! Glad you and your family enjoyed our Muskoka Point Zen cottage. Quite welcome to return next summer for a great summer week if you can. Cheers, Ed & Bhavna | |

| We had a fantastic experience at Point Zen. Our kids were active and happy to have variety of activities to do: kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing, reading, playing board games, lounging in a Muskoka chair or the Hammock, going for walks, enjoying the birds, the jacuzzi, the bonfire etc. The adults, we were in Zen mode!
Inside, we felt we had everything we needed, from a special coffee corner to a wonderful reading and working area with a great view. The living room is cozy, the kitchen is practical and bedrooms are comfortable and warm.
We enjoyed that we could BBQ and eat outside and bring anything to the beach. For us the time was magical enjoying the nature; we felt energized as we were able to enjoy a calm and nurturing vibe. The entire area is wonderful and the neighbours are very kind.
We plan to come again, we can imagine how beautiful the area may be in each station, plus the drive there was easy and so close to Toronto.
Yineska and Paul

| We had a fabulous time during our stay at Point Zen this past weekend! The cottage was immaculate upon arrival, and it was very well appointed in all aspects from the kitchen to the comfy beds to the kayaks. What a perfect hideaway to celebrate our anniversary!
One of the best things about this cottage is its easy access to the lake - there are no stairs, and the grounds to the water are lush and beautiful. The shoreline and soft sand beach kept my toddler entertained for hours as she collected rocks, snail shells and made sand castles.
The grounds are MASSIVE and have ample seating which allowed for a wonderful gathering for my family and another couple. We loved the tranquility of sitting on the dock with a morning coffee looking out at the lake. We highly recommend Point Zen and are looking forward to renting it again next summer!

| What a fantastic getaway! Comfortable, clean and a great view! This is a wonderful cottage on a peaceful lake. The owner has been very responsive and helpful. The lush green space is a bonus for a cottage. The sandy beach is ideal for the little ones. Definitely renting this cottage again for next summer.

| Point Zen truly deserves its name! It was tranquil, serene and zen with wonderful vistas of the water and lush greenery as we lounged and soaked it all in. Sunsets were simply stunning!
The wooden interiors were warm and welcoming. Rooms were clean and functional. Washing dishes was also a pleasure as you look out at the beautiful greenery!
Had good fun on the peddle boat cruising around in the calm bay waters and swimming around in the shallow water. Enjoyed the bonfire in the evenings under the moonlight, perfect for roasting marshmallows!
Just remember to bring your bug spray.
Point Zen had everything we needed to make our stay a restful getaway from the humdrum of the city. We look forward to our next visit!
