POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: If you and your siblings are the type to squabble over splitting the check, going in on a multimillion-dollar property is probably not in your best interests.

Also, the commute is 2 hrs on open country road, not parked on the 400.
Way to go @Anna, I hope you are blowing him on the way up
September 4, 2011 at 12:31 am | by PedroWhen you take into consideration what you’re getting, two cottages, 5.5 acres, boathouse and 728 feet of water frontage it’s really not a bad price for the Muskoka’s. Not saying that that’s what it should cost to enjoy cottage life but it’s not a bad package.
