Like the great sea turtle after which it is named, “Honu” on Silver Lake is very unassuming from the first glance.

Within, it’s simply a marvel of cottage construction, design and engineering.

Again, from the driveway you’re welcomed to a quaint, charming two car garage and front terrace. But once you get to the main entrance you realize that it’s just the tip of a Muskokan iceberg. The cottage blooms with 4000 square feet of open living space carved directly into the rock bluff. It’s literally incased in its natural surroundings.       

Inside, all of the exposed wood, posts, beams, extra-wide planked floors and heavy doors, all are rich pine. The master craftsmanship of post and beams shown here is second to none. Work that brings together this highly coveted open concept which is the overall main attraction of this location. Fitting in all the amenities you’d ever want - master bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, great rooms, living rooms, brick fireplaces, an elegant kitchen overlooking a sprawling multiple level deck and high lookout views over Silver Lake.

“Honu” is Silver Lakes best kept secret.
