🇨🇦 Merrymeet Cottage

Rebecca Lake · Muskoka · Ontario - 30 Min North of Huntsville 

Some places ask you to slow down. Merrymeet insists on it. Tucked at the water's edge on quiet Rebecca Lake, Merrymeet is a mid-century cottage that has been welcoming families since 1955. The original furniture is still here. So is the dock. So is the loon that nests on the far shore. Ten metres from your door, the lake is waiting. Dive in!

What's included

On the water A large private dock, a canoe, a rowboat, and a swim raft anchored in the bay. Rebecca Lake is calm, clear, and uncrowded — ideal for paddling, swimming, fishing and doing nothing in particular. Bring a 9 hp or smaller, outboard motor for the aluminum rowboat if you want.  

The cottage Genuine mid-century character with all the comfort you need (even green fixtures in the bathroom) Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and Starlink satellite internet when the kids (and you) need some time indoors. Lots of screened windows and doors, so you can open them to the wind. 

The setting Surrounded by maple, hemlock and white pine forest, close enough to Dwight and Huntsville towns  for supplies and a good meal, but far enough away to actually hear the silence and absolute darkness of night.

Your dog is welcome. One well-mannered dog is warmly invited. Rebecca Lake has plenty of shoreline to explore, and incredible foundation beach on connected belle lake to enjoy; the shallow water at Foundation Beaxh is perfect for impromptu beach/water volleyball.

Rebecca Lake

Rebecca Lake sits in the heart of the Haliburton Highlands, roughly 3 hours from Toronto and 2.5 hours from Ottawa. It's a smaller, quieter lake — no marina crowds — which is precisely the point. The kind of lake that still has herons standing in the shallows at dusk.

Merrymeet Cottage is a family-owned property, rented Saturday to Saturday through the summer season. Inquiries via the contact form are typically answered within 24 hours.
