Welcome to the Vista Lakehouse! Only 2.5 hrs from TO, escape the hustle of the city & slow down among the trees. Our pet-friendly (with restrictions) A-frame chalet-style cottage features 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace & a fully equipped kitchen. With over 250 feet of sandy frontage on Doe Lake, it is the perfect getaway for multiple families! Conveniently located near everything Huntsville/ Muskoka has to offer. You'll never want to leave!
Come enjoy nature in our modern cottage, relax while the southern light pours in from the wall of windows as you enjoy your morning coffee, grill your meal on the deck as you listen to the laughter of your loved ones swimming in the lake, and explore nature right outside your front door!
Doe Lake is crystal clear and clean. The hard-packed sandy bottom is an excellent surface for kids to play and
swim. Many guests will settle into one of the Muskoka chairs on the dock while watching the children swim and
play in the water!
This cottage has a rustic feel, but has all of the conveniences of home including a dishwasher & laundry facilities. There are three large bedrooms, two smaller bedrooms and three full bathrooms. There's also a huge
great room, dining room, laundry room and a beautiful fully stocked kitchen. The large deck wraps around the front and side of the cottage; a perfect place to dine, read, or just listen to the call of the loons.
Doe Lake is known for it's fishing, but you may also decide to explore this large lake, with all of its inlets by
canoe or kayak. Doe Lake is also connected to the famous Magnetawan River, which flows all the way to
Georgian Bay; there's no shortage of water to explore.
This is a family style cottage and not meant for party groups!

| Perfect as always! The walking path/stairs down to the water was a great update! House was clean on arrival, fully stocked kitchen, beds/ pull out couches for everyone in our party. Kids love the paddle boards and jumping off the dock!

| The Perfect Cottage Week!
Our group of five families has been vacationing together for over a dozen years, and Vista Lakehouse quickly became a new favorite. The setup was perfect for us spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for both connection and downtime. The beds were incredibly comfy (everyone slept great!), and the cottage had lots of cozy corners and gathering spots so we never felt crowded.
The real showstopper The fire pit surrounded by Muskoka chairs. We spent almost every night out there laughing, chatting, and soaking in the views more fireside time than we've ever had at a cottage before.
The games room kept both kids and adults happy on rainy days, and everything from garbage setup to location near amenities was just easy. But what really put it over the top was how amazing the hosts were responsive, kind, and clearly invested in making sure we had a great stay. Honestly, one of the best hosting experiences we've had.
We'll be talking about this one for years!

| Our stay at the Vista Lakehouse was perfect. The hosts thought of everything and you can tell they go above and beyond to make your stay seamless. We felt so welcomed from the moment we booked our stay. The house is right on the lake with scenic views, inside is beautiful and modern and clean. So many rooms and beds to accommodate a large group comfortably but still has cozy cottage vibes. There is not one thing I would change about this place. We also loved that it was close to a public beach and modern playground, very short drive to town for groceries, restaurants, ice cream, etc. Everything was perfect! Would 100% recommend and we look forward to booking again.

| Our first impression when we walked into the cottage was "WOW". Vista Lakehouse is a stunning property that is impecibally maintained. We had a family reunion here for 7 days with 8 adults, 8 young children and our pup. There was enough space to fit everyone comfortably and some more. With a pool table, ping pong and so many games on top of the kayaks, paddle boards and firepit, this cottage just kept giving. We even walked down to the playground and beach (there was a covered area with picnic benches and a washroom). The 3 year old even did it so it gives you a sense of the distance! The kids had a BLAST. We were even able to get longer walks with the dog because the road in front of the cottage is paved, and some of us even went on morning runs. All-in-all, I couldn't recommend this cottage more. We stay at different ones every year, and Vista is the best one (and most favourite) so far. Thank you Ramiro & Alexandra for letting us stay at your beautiful property!
ps. some things that really stood out in case it helps those who are looking:
- the AC was really strong, which I personally loved, but some found it too cold in the basement
- hot water never "ran out" even with multiple families using it
- the washing machine was such a huge benefit especially with so many kids
- the water off the dock wasn't super deep (not really a pro or a con, but just something to note)
