Welcome to Northern Lights Chalet, a modern, newly built cottage perfectly situated for both relaxation and exploration. Nestled close to Dwight and Huntsville, this beautiful retreat offers the ideal base for adventurers and nature lovers alike. With four spacious bedrooms—including a stunning main-floor primary suite with a seating area and luxurious 4-piece ensuite—Northern Lights Chalet provides comfort and style for families and groups.

Upstairs, you’ll find three well-appointed bedrooms along with a 4-piece bathroom, giving everyone their own space to relax after a day of exploring Muskoka. The main floor is the heart of the home, featuring an open-concept kitchen and dining area perfect for gathering over shared meals. The living room’s cathedral ceiling and soaring two-storey windows frame breathtaking western views of the wetlands. From here, it’s not unusual to spot Muskoka wildlife; during our visit, a curious deer kept watch as we enjoyed the outdoor fire pit.

Also on the main floor, you’ll appreciate a convenient 2-piece powder room and a laundry room. Step outside to the walkout deck or the screened porch, where you can take in the serene natural surroundings. In the evenings, gather at the fire pit in the wooded clearing—an ideal spot for storytelling, stargazing, and creating unforgettable cottage memories.

Northern Lights Chalet is more than just a place to stay—it’s the perfect launch pad for exploring Muskoka. Dwight offers charming local gems such as Erika’s Bakery, while Huntsville provides a vibrant arts scene, unique shops, and diverse dining. Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the proximity to Algonquin Provincial Park, where hiking, canoeing, and wildlife encounters await.

Liked: Cleanliness

Good, but not great

The home itself is excellent, with the exception that it's very echo-y; everyone can hear anyone regardless of which room or which floor they are on. That being said, it is very spacious, has everything a large group needs; unfortunately, it's missing a river or lake that you can jump into or swim in. The hot tub is great, the 2-person sauna is great, the Muskoka room/gazebo is great, the fire pit is great, all of the amenities are great. It would have been nice to be able to park the vehicles inside the spacious garage and have access to the entire lower level (an incomplete games room, perhaps&!&). If it's a getaway and isolation you're looking for, this is the perfect place for you; however, keep in mind that it's about a 20 minute drive to Huntsville and most venues. It was enjoyable for our family and a good place to meet up, catch up, and create memories.

Gorgeous house, very clean, as advertised. Straight forward and fair processes to book. Very convenient location, short drive off highway and no dirt roads. Would visit again.
