Launching from Walker's Point Marina, Old Woman Island is a stunning private retreat nestled in the heart of Lake Muskoka.
Old Woman Island spans an extensively landscaped 16-acre property, featuring seven matching buildings, including the main cottage, two boathouses, a fitness facility, a tennis court clubhouse, a yoga pavilion, and a coach house. With abundant space and privacy, the island is an ideal getaway. Enjoy six beaches, ample seating and lookout points, and miles of winding trails perfect for walking or golf cart rides. The island is meticulously maintained with fully irrigated lawns, gardens, and planters, as well as level grassy lawns around the Main Cottage and Guesthouse. The Guesthouse also boasts a large covered pavilion ideal for events, concerts, and large parties.
The main dock is equipped with lounge chairs for sunbathing and taking in the stunning lake views. From the dock, stairs lead up to the Main Cottage's spacious veranda, furnished with outdoor seating, ceiling fans, and dining tables. An outdoor kitchen with a BBQ and wrap-around countertops makes alfresco dining a delight. The Main Boathouse features four interior boat slips, a large dock with additional boat parking, upper-level front and rear covered decks, and a hot tub. The second boathouse includes a large interior boat slip and front and rear decks for enjoying the scenic surroundings.
The yoga pavilion, situated on the island's western point, consists of three structures: an outdoor shower, a bathroom, and an octagonal yoga studio. The tennis court doubles as a basketball court and includes sleeping quarters in the clubhouse. As you explore the miles of walking and jogging paths, you'll discover two resting areas with unique wooden furniture, two fire pits with picnic seating, built-in charcoal grills, and ample bench seating. An outdoor lighting system connects all the buildings, beaches, and fire pit areas, enhancing nighttime activities.
Each of the six beaches offers a unique vantage point and beautiful views of the surroundings. Beach #1 features northeast exposure, picnic tables, Muskoka chairs, and a rocky water entrance. Beach #2, with southeast exposure, includes Muskoka chairs, a floating dock, and a shallow sandy entrance. Beach #3, near the Guesthouse, has south exposure, Muskoka chairs, kayak and paddleboard racks, and a shallow sandy entrance. Beach #4, adjacent to the second boathouse, offers northeast exposure, Muskoka chairs, and a shallow sandy entrance. Beach #5, the largest, features 14 Muskoka chairs, a picnic table, and a shallow sandy entrance, ideal for young children. Beach #6, known as "Sunset Beach" for its spectacular evening views, has west exposure, picnic tables, Muskoka chairs, a large pig-roaster, and a shallow sandy entrance.
Conveniently close to Bala, Port Carling, and Gravenhurst, this island promises endless entertainment and relaxation.
