Warm and inviting space made for a quaint getaway in the winter. The location was beautiful and quiet. Great amenities including hot tub and sauna. Devon was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this to friends and family!
Beautiful cozy cottage. We went for a peaceful winter getaway to get some much needed R&R, and this place absolutely delivered. We loved relaxing in the hot tub watching the snow fall. Devon was a great host. She was very communicative and has thought of most everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
We did a quick weekend trip here and had a really great time! It was a very nice place to stay in and was so nice relaxing in the hot tub while it was cold out. A snowstorm rolled in the morning we were leaving, and Devon even offered us a discounted extra night. We would have taken it, but unfortunately we had to be home that evening. Would recommend this place!
My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend away, and are glad we chose to stay at Sawdust City Haus. The cabin was very cozy, clean, and the perfect setting for our getaway. We will be back!
We didn’t get a chance to use all of the amenities on site as we both came down with sickness. However, it was super cozy, there were so many games and movies to keep us entertained while under the weather, and all the comforts of home from music to utensils and wifi. We can’t wait to come back for the full experience!
Devon was a fantastic host! My wife and I along with our little one had a great stay. Such a cozy spot for our family to enjoy the beautiful muskoka area.
We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the close proximity to the wedding venue Sawdust City. Hot tub and sauna was very enjoyable and they even had a bin of toys for our two dogs to use. Would absolutely stay again.
Quiet cozy place to stay. we were here in the summer but we wanted a winter getaway. This was our choice. Close to good restaurants, food shopping. Thanks to our host.
The property was a pretty cabin! We spent lots of time out exploring the area, loved the fireworks at the wharf, hiking at Hardy Lake, Wilson Falls and High Falls! The hot tub was wonderful and enjoying that in the snow was the best!!
We had a great stay at the cottage! The host was amazing and so accommodating. The cottage was so cozy and welcoming. Beautifully decorated! Our family had a fun time away and the host was always helpful in suggestions of where to go if needed. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anymore looking for a quiet getaway to Muskoka!
Great little Cottage, very close to the water and amenities. Very cute clean and with great appliances and lovely grounds. The landlords are as lovely as the property. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay in Sawdust city haus. Location is great for winter sports. We did Fire and ice in Arrowhead provincial park, magical experience. We went to Vetta nordic spa, very relaxing experience. Today we are going to ski in Mt St Louis Moonstone.
The cottage is very comfortable, everything what you need.
We really enjoyed our stay.
My husband and I were looking for a quiet getaway to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and this definitely didn’t disappoint. It was exactly what we were looking for. Somewhere to have some quiet relaxation with a hot tub. Devon was a great host and her communication was great.
We would definitely come back!
We loved the coziness of the cottage. It is small, but perfect for the family to spend time together. The sauna and hot tub were a nice added bonus along with the coffee that was provided. Beds were comfortable and each room had it's own AC, which was nice to adjust temp as desired. Lots of games to play indoors in the evening. Deer were sighted frequently on the property.
Great little house within a short distance of everything you could need (food, restaurants, supplies). Loved the hot tub and sauna after a long walk in the woods with the dog. Devon was a very attentive host and had the house warm and lit up for our check in. Brought our own firewood and enjoyed some bevies around the fir pit in the front yard. Didn’t see any deer but that was ok, considering we had our dog with us. Great spot for a romantic getaway after the hustle of the holidays

Excellent stay if you’re looking for a cozy atmosphere.
We had everything we needed and then some! Devon was very helpful, the cabin tiny and perfect. Great location - close to town, great dog walking trail and minutes from cross-country skiing. The cherry on top was the hot tub for apres ski sore muscles. A perfect place for our snow-cation!!
Our second trip to Sawdust City Haus and we loved every moment of it. Devon is a great host who works hard to make sure you have everything you need for your stay. The hot tub is wonderful and the skating rink was a fun way to spend some time. We can't wait to come back next winter!
This is a fantastic place to stay - great hosts and everything you could ask for in a cabin, including a hot tub, fire pit, and even reliable wifi. I would not hesitate to book again, we loved everything about our stay.
