You will find that some cottages do not have any dates yet. Please keep watching our site as the dates do come in later. Some cottage rentals are for a month or more but if they do not rent for that period of time, they will change their availability to a shorter term such as weekly or by weekly. New cottages and availability are added to our most site every day. Rental rates vary from lake to lake. You will find that cottages on the larger lakes such as Muskoka, Rosseau, Joseph and lake of Bays are higher than cottages on the smaller lakes
