Exploring Muskoka Cottages: Pools and Hot Tubs
When it comes to sought-after amenities, our guests frequently inquire about properties with pools. While the majority of our listings boast access to the lake—essentially a natural pool in Muskoka—the appeal of a dedicated pool or hot tub isn’t lost on us.
In the warmth of Muskoka’s summer, the lake becomes an exquisite place to swim, with temperatures hovering between 18-21 degrees Celsius (64.4 F to 69.8 F). In certain smaller lakes or shallower areas, the water can even be warmer, often a bath-like temperatures.
However, we recognize the allure of having the option of a pool or hot tub. On cooler days, the ability to heat a pool to your comfort or soak in a hot tub after a lake swim is definitely appealing. Additionally, these amenities extend the summer season, allowing for comfortable swimming across more months of the year.
Here are some of our top picks for Muskoka and non-Muskoka cottages featuring pools and/or hot tubs:
