Minett House | 4-Season Muskoka Birch Vacation Cottage Rental On Lake Rosseau, Muskoka Ontario

4 Bedroom House in Minett

We rent all year and PRIORITIZE Sat-Fri weeks in the high season. Dare to Compare! Reduced rates for 2024! We accept last-minute bookings within a week of your dates given there is no weekly rental in place. You will NOT find a more affordable cottage than the Muskoka Birch on Lake Rosseau. Total up and down living space of 2300+ sq ft bungalow layout and 9+ acres of property amenities offered by the Cedar Rail Resort community on any of the Big Three Muskoka Lakes. This is our treasured family-owned bit of heaven that we trust to our renters to care for during their stay.
4-Season: We ONLY accept WEEKLY (Sat-Fri), Bi-Weekly or MONTHLY rentals from mid-June to after Labour Day weekend except for "last minute" requests within 1-2 weeks of the requested dates. Arrival is to be no sooner than Sat 2 pm and departure Friday no later than 5 pm to allow for cleaning and disinfecting. Rates change per season. The high season includes all national and provincial holidays. We request $500 fully refundable damage/loss/excessive cleaning fee paid directly to the owner. VRBO collects an additional commission fee + our cleaning fee. The other similar cottages nearby go from $1.500 to 3,000 more/week. That is because we do not offer linen, towel, pillow or a laundry services. With those small things, what can you do with an extra $1,000-3,000/week?
Located in Minett, Ontario, the Muskoka Birch cottage is in the "hub" of the Muskokas. The Birch is part of the Cedar Rail Community (shared common property) but The Birch has enhanced privacy because it is set back from the other units. It is situated on a quiet bay just 2 minutes south of Minett and 15 minutes north of Port Carling. The property is wide and spacious with more than 227 foot beach waterfront. The boathouse is privately owned. Our cottage embraces a beautiful pine highlighted interior and has all the comforts of home.
You can access the Birch from the mainland. The spacious property features a tennis court (new surface 2020), gazebo, fire pit, lawn furniture, and a full beachfront. All are rare for a cottage in the Muskoka region. Rates are adjusted seasonally. Nearby, Port Carling, the "Muskoka Hub", offers a boat lock to Lake Muskoka with access to Lake Joseph. Our family cottage is located in the heart of various resorts, golf courses, and unique communities that are typical of Muskoka. Subject to the local health and the specific venue, please check for schedules and services of the region's amenities. For example, the Marriott Resort has public venues such as restaurants, bars, and boat rentals in Wallace Bay Marina.
Our Cedar Rail community is a friendly one in which the 10 members are owners, some of whom rent their units like we do. Others live there full-time. Regulations are established by the community to safeguard its neighbourly and Muskoka setting. Example: No more than 8 persons at each unit at any one time. Lake Rosseau shores are directly in front of the Birch cottage but a safe distance for children's safety. The land gently slopes for easy access. The beach is wide and VERY safe with a gentle slope for 20-30 meters into the lake. Tennis Court and large waterfront Gazebo and Muskoka Chairs on site. As a 4-season vacation rental, we are open all year.
