Discover Your Dream Retreat in Muskoka Canada

Discover Your Dream Retreat in Muskoka Canada
Welcome to our scribed log home, nestled in the heart of the District of Muskoka, a renowned regional municipality in Central Ontario, Canada. Just a 2-hour drive north of Toronto, Muskoka spans 6,475 km² and boasts around 1,600 lakes, making it a top cottaging destination. In fact, Muskoka was the #1 most searched Canadian destination for vacation rentals in 2017.
As you enter the meandering driveway, illuminated by charming coach lamps and surrounded by towering pine trees, you’ll find yourself on 3 acres of ultimate private landscape. Our serene oasis on the shores of the Muskoka River features:

Stairs take you down to a dock and our floating dock boat, providing access to 7 km of river to explore. We also have a canoe.
Additional features include a detached double car garage with power doors, a drilled well, and a Generac generator hardwired into the house to ensure power continuity. Our home is located in the charming village of Port Sydney, on a quiet, dead-end municipal road.

About Our Family

Hi we are the Barnett's we are living the retired life, just the two of us, myself, Marianne and my husband Russ. We have 3 adult children and 3 granddaughters who do not live with us, but visit often. I am a yoga teacher and teach yoga at the local community centre twice a week in Port Sydney. https://www.instagram.com/riversidey0ga/
I also am a member of the Huntsville Art Society and like to paint with acrylic and water colour paints. Also love gardening and try to have a nice garden in the summer time, if I can keep the deer away from eating it!

Russ is a member of the Stephenson District Lion's Club. The Stephenson Lions have served the community for close to 50 years. They are active, positive, energetic group who have the best interests of our community in mind. They organize several special events throughout the year including the Marquis Tent Rental Program, Annual Duck Race, Food Drive, Seniors Christmas Dinner and Lobsterfest. Each winter they maintain the popular Lions rink at the Port Sydney beach and host community skating events with free barbecues. All the money raised goes back into the community.
