Cross Streets: Hwy 141 & Skeleton Lake Road 2. ** Directions: from Hwy 141 to Skeleton Lake Road 2, to 1119 to unit 28. Skeleton Lake is the clearest water in Muskoka, and 310 feet of it is yours. Set on 4.6 private acres near the quiet end of a year-round private road, this five-bedroom cottage faces due north across big open water to a far, unbroken shore - the long view that turns every evening sky into the main event. Inside, a vaulted great room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace opens through double doors to the sun deck and a screened Muskoka room; hardwood runs underfoot and lake light fills every window. The maple-and-stainless kitchen has a breakfast bar and a pantry of its own. The lake-view primary suite has an ensuite with jacuzzi tub; two more bedrooms and a four-piece bath share the main floor, and the walkout lower level adds two bedrooms, a full bath, rec room and laundry - room for two families, or one large one. Decks wrap both levels. Wood steps set with granite treads wind down through hardwood and pine to a lakeside sitting patio beside a sandy swim cove, then on to an 800-square-foot dock over deep, glass-clear water - swim, moor, or simply sit. Upper and lower parking and true four-season access make arriving effortless in every month. Windermere House, golf at Diamond in the Ruff, and the villages of Port Carling and Rosseau are minutes away; Toronto is roughly two hours. This much frontage, this much privacy and this water are rarely offered on Skeleton Lake. And only 30 minutes from Huntsville, Bracebridge, Port Sandfield, and Port Carling and Port Sydney.
