The space
Getaway to the cottage, your home away from home! Our house is outfitted with a genuine cottage feel, the entire dwelling is finished in pine. This 6 bedroom home comes with the beds freshly dressed with clean linens, along with towels for bathing and the beach.

If this is your first visit to the Loring-Restoule area, welcome! There are plenty of reasons to keep you coming back year, after year. Hilltop Cottage is located in the heart of Port Loring, park your vehicle and explore via foot. We are within walking distance of all the amenities the town has to offer, including, local eateries, LCBO, boat tours, and more.

Organizing travel for many can be a daunting task, figuring out who’s bringing what and answering the time old question ‘do we have everything’. Our fully stocked kitchen will put your mind at ease when considering your meals. Enjoy grilling all-year-long, on the covered porch with a BBQ (propane provided).

The deck wraps around the house, making the morning wake with your coffee just a little easier. Lounge in one of several Muskoka chairs or take refuge under the gazebo, either option includes a breathtaking western view of Lake Wilson.

The house has activities for all ages. Starting outside, the field is groomed and equipped to enjoy many favourites including, volleyball, badminton, soccer, hockey, dodgeball, bocce, frisbee, and more. If you want to take your fun down to the water, the house includes 2 canoes, a pedal boat, life jackets, and other water toys. We are only steps to the beach at Port Shores, the Government Dock, or the boat launch. The beach is beautifully graded with a shallow gradual entry. The dock is great for diving and jumping-off, with easy ladder access to start all over. The lake is clean and invites a weed-free swim. If you are bringing your own boat, there is docking available with seasonal and weekly rental rates.

Winter at Hilltop Cottage.
Embrace the wonders of winter by exploring the frozen landscapes on foot or snowmobile. Our location is at marker AC510 of the OFSC trail (District 11 area route map) and offers convenient access to thrilling snowmobile adventures and excellent ice-fishing spots. Make the most of the Argyle well-maintained trails for your enjoyment.

Sometimes Mother-Nature forces us to play inside - not to worry - the games room is furnished with a pool table, satellite TV, DVDs, board games, books, and more.

The stars shine brighter in the north! Bring your nights to an end by finding the constellations while enjoying everyone's company around the fire. All the things Cottage memories are made of!

Smoking is not permitted inside the house, but ashtrays are available on the front and back patios. Please use them accordingly and refrain from flicking cigarette butts around the property.

Being in nature means bugs are a part of the experience. Remember to bring bug spray, and during the summer months, the gazebo is screened for your comfort.

During snowy conditions, the main parking area is regularly maintained and plowed. Shovels and a snowblower are available onsite to assist with additional clearing.

Respect our neighbours! Please regulate noise levels and refrain from yelling, shouting, or any disruptive behaviour between 11 pm and 7 am. Keep in mind that without the competing noise of the city, sound carries further. Let's ensure everyone can enjoy their getaway to the fullest!
