Peaceful, private oasis in Muskoka
Rockcliffe is a gem. Marina and Joe have put their heart and soul into creating and maintaining this wonderful property, and it shows. 180 degrees of lake views and access; multiple spots to sit and enjoy Brandy Lake; gorgeous perennial beds and walking paths; there's even a horseshoe pit where you can challenge your spouse! (I did and I won!) 5 minutes from Port Carling's shops and restaurants and 20 minutes to Bala's Kee. The check-in process was seamless and communication with Marina and Joe was a dream. Don't hesitate. Book this oasis!

Amazing!
We had a great stay at Rockcliffe House! Joe and Marina were excellent hosts with great hospitality and local knowledge. The property is amazing, with trails, horse shoe pits, fire pit, outdoor seating and bbq area! Everything was very clean and in great condition. The property is very private with plenty of separation from the neighbours. The interior is very comfortable with plenty of space to spread out, great kitchen for cooking in and living space with plenty of games. Everything was very clean and comfy!
Has close proximity to town, golf courses, boat launches, parks and beaches. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Muskoka!

A little piece of paradise
My husband and I had such a peaceful, relaxed, soul-nourishing mini-vacation at Rockcliffe House. The property is huge with lots of waterfront to itself so you get seclusion and privacy. It is so beautifully landscaped in a style harmonious to the environment and very well maintained. The rental space feels very separate from the rest of the cottage. It is very spacious with high ceilings so doesn't feel "basement-like" rather, that you have your own little cottage. Lots to do between kayaking, canoeing, swimming, hiking, playing horse shoes, relaxing on the hammock and sitting around a campfire. Every detail is considered inside and so clean and quiet. The hosts are so lovely. This was our first stay but we'll definitely be back!

Private Oasis, Breathtaking Views
This was our first trip to Canada (from the US) we were in town for a family wedding and decided to extend our trip. This property is the perfect escape if you are looking for a quiet retreat with magnificent views. Brandy Lake is stunning. We had so much fun kayaking and jumping off the large boulders. The property is magnificent--it is obvious how much love and effort Marina and Joe have put into this place. There are lots of places to sit and enjoy your morning coffee, sun and shade lover options, places for kids to safely run around and explore, and private nooks where mom can enjoy some solitude. Great campfire set-up, well stocked kitchen tools and appliances, loved that coffee/tea and evoo and vinegar were included too. Internet service was strong (I needed to take a video call for work --it was fine!) Port Carling is a great town, good restaurants and shopping and so close! Honestly, the pictures do not do this place justice, it is far better in person. Loved every minute of our stay, thanks again! The Millards

We loved the property inside and out. Well stocked with essentials and games. Very friendly owners. We found it difficult to swim. We are seniors. A small dock and ladder would be amazing. Definitely recommend it for a get away

Great place to stay!
The goods: The property is nice and well kept, there are great places to sit and read, catch some rays, or have a fire at night. The bbq is good. The shoreline is epic to explore, lots of giant rocks and cliffs. The forest is clean and well maintained. There are multiple places to fish right off the shore line, we caught lots of sunfish and small bass on worms and hooks. It's only a few minutes from Port Carling, which is an awesome town; the shops and restaurants are amazing. Brandy Lake is small and calm, there are boats pulling around kids on tubes but nothing crazy like on some other local lakes. The canoe and kayaks are in good condition and fun for the family, with lots of life jacket options. The cottage is nice and tidy, very nicely designed and decorated and comes with lots of great things to do. The kitchen is well laid out, modern appliances, lots of space to store your food and well stocked with cooking utensils. The bedrooms are good. The bathroom is good. The main living area is great, with a large TV, board games, and a dart board.
The Needs to Improves: Relatively speaking, it was a little expensive for accommodating 6 people; if it had accommodations for 8 (i.e., 2 families), the rate would be bang on amazing. The cottage was kept pretty cold with no temperature controls; it was very hot outside and you needed to wear long sleeves and pants indoors. The challenge of bringing children is they are messy; the lack of a small washer and drier was inconvenient. Not that anyone wants to do laundry on vacation, but it means you need to overpack which isn't a lovely alternative. You need to bring your own towels as well (face towers, shower towels and beach towels); again since there isn't a laundry option, it adds a lot of packing. You should also bring your own pillows if you are particular; again more packing. The owners have a nice dog which left a couple of presents in the area right as you walk out of the door, that remained for several days. The paths around the cottage are generally maintained, but I do not advise walking around in flipflops as the brush is pretty thick and we had more than a few nicks and scratches as we traversed to the rocks and boats. The wifi wasn't great, it worked ok in the main living area, but barely in the kitchen or bedrooms.
Overall, we enjoyed the cottage very much. A few minor inconveniences that would have been easy to overlook if not for the premium price.

Steve, thanks for the 5 Star rating and the thorough review! We appreciate all of your comments and are glad you enjoyed your stay!
We wish you had spoke with us about the cold and the dog presents. Turning up the thermostat (or simply closing the vents yourself) and a shoveling are pretty easy fixes that we would have been happy to do.
The wifi is about as good as you can get in Muskoka outside of the urban areas, but I will look into how to improve the coverage areas around the guest suite. Thanks for pointing that out.
Also, I know staying in Muskoka at peak time can be expensive. For a more affordable option, maybe consider vacationing in June or September as most hosts offer discounted rates in the shoulder season.

One of a kind cottage getaway!
Marina and Joe’s property is one of a kind! Such a wonderful place with so many interesting areas for the kids to explore. Our kids will be talking about this place forever… very unique trails on site, with a soccer area, and a handful of entries to have a swim in the lake! It is not your average cottage, it is definitely top of the list! Very clean, air conditioned and Marina and Joe were wonderful at being available for questions! Thank you for making a memorable week for my family, we would love to come back!

Refreshing
Looking to "get away"... Rockcliffe is truly the place to be to escape the day to day and be able to relax. My husband and 3 kids had a hard time to leave and wished our days were extended. Lot's of fun - canoeing, fishing, swimming and bon fires.
Thank you Marina and Joe, we sure hope to see you in the near future.

Perfect weekend getaway!
We visited as a family of 5 and it was the perfect getaway. Spacious, cozy, and beautiful views. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit, kayaking/canoeing, and exploring the trails. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming. They made themselves accessible to us. The location is excellent for exploring Port Carling and surrounding areas. Highly recommend and would come again!

Über den Gastgeber
Zu Gast bei Marina Baker
We (Marina and Joe) recently retired from our small furniture and gift store which we operated in Port Carling from 1996 to 2023. We started building our dream home in 2007, and have continued to make improvements every year since. We have two kids, both recently graduated from university.
Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
This property is very special to us. We have invested considerable time and energy into improving the landscape (ie. we have planted over 8000 trees) and the building (doing all the renovations hands-on ourselves). Please have lots of fun, and please also respect the land and the building and your Hosts that live upstairs!
Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
Most properties like ours, were subdivided and the parts sold off many years ago. With 2400 feet of waterfront, Rockcliffe House is one of the biggest remaining mainland waterfront properties left in Muskoka.
