It's like a tiny house. Very cozy and well decorated with everything you need for 2 people. Would easily come back again. The host(s) were very responsive. All of the appliances were top notch and well stocked with everything you need to cook your meals.

Celebrated the first day of summer on their lovely patio, overlooking Sparrow Lake. The food was outstanding! Huge portions at reasonable prices. Great selection of wines, beers and cocktails. Our table had Chicken Penne, Fish & Chips, Chicken Parm Sandwich and French Onion Pizza! All delicious and served hot and fresh. Our server, Melanie was top notch! Friendly, efficient and checked on us at appropriate times. Looking forward to our next visit.

Let me just say that at this price point you won't find a cleaner more well kept place to stay. Clean furnishings. Well equipped and clean kitchen. The first night of our three-night stay we ate in The Pines Restaurant... food was excellent. Service was excellent. As a person who enjoys traveling and staying within Ontario, I will most certainly be returning to Muskoka Beach House. Thank you Kim and Joan for wonderful three nights on Sparrow Lake.

The perfect place for a quick getaway, the cabin looks exactly like the photos and the hosts Kim and Joan are super helpful and responsive. The lakefront has the most stunning sunset and it’s so peaceful and calm. The space is beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. The cabin is fully equipped so we cooked all our meals and even grilled up some steaks on the bbq. The restaurant on site is beautiful and everyone is so nice, definitely worth setting aside a night to try. Kim you are the sweetest human! Wish we could’ve stayed longer and will definitely be back!

Super cute place. They have a nice restaurant and bar. Then they have a campground and cottages for rent. Like these cute little chalets cabins. Great for a place to get away from town or a romantic getaway with your spouse. I’ll be back. Had such a great time here. They also have a huge amount of green space and a large dock for boats. They also have other things they offer and have super nice chair loungers for suntanning. The lake view was gorgeous. The dock had about 12 boat slips. You can boat in, dock the boat, and eat food for a quick meal while boating all day .
