Sleeps 12 on Longs Lake! | House in Utterson

Summary:
Welcome to this gorgeous 3500 sq. ft 2 level cottage nestled on the shore of Longs Lake, conveniently located right in the heart of Muskoka. Situated on 1 acre of well landscaped and gently sloping land, this beautiful property is a waterfront gem that promises to deliver a peaceful lakeside escape. With 260 ft. of water frontage and southwest exposure, you'll enjoy all day sun at the private beach and dock, and a fabulous, family-friendly sandy beach and gradual entry that is perfect for all ages. This thoughtfully designed and recently renovated cottage is beautifully decorated, making it easy to rest, relax and take in the slower pace of life that Muskoka is famous for. Boasting 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a recreation room complete with foosball, arcade games, shuffleboard, bar and full walkout, this cottage ticks all the boxes and is sure to provide days of fun for your family and friends.
Take in the view of the lake and your private beach while you sip your morning coffee in the solarium or top deck. Pick your own blueberries from the extensive on-property blueberry bushes as you meander down to the beach through the well landscaped grounds, and watch your children build sandcastles and play in the clean, shallow water.
Longs Lake is a quiet, spring-fed, sandy bottom lake with a public boat launch conveniently located less than a km from the cottage. With 2 kayaks, a canoe and a SUP at your disposal, it's never been easier to get out on the water and explore the lake. For avid fishermen, the end of the lake has been declared a fish habitat by MNR and small-mouth bass, large-mouth bass, perch and sunfish are popular catches.
What more could you ask for? Swimming, sunning and boating all day, movies on the big screens, games and campfires at night. Rest and repeat!
