What to Bring to Your Muskoka Summer Getaway at Sunny Point Resort

Planning a summer escape to Sunny Point Resort, Ontario’s premier pet-friendly waterfront resort? Nestled on 84 acres with 2,700 ft of Otter Lake shoreline, our Muskoka cottage rentals and waterfront inn offer the perfect blend of luxury and adventure. To make the most of your Parry Sound pet-friendly cottage experience, here’s a packing guide for your Muskoka summer getaway.

Essentials for Your Cottage Stay

Our 3, 4, 5, and 7-bedroom lakefront cottages and Junior Suites come fully equipped with modern kitchens, gas BBQs, and coin laundry, but you’ll want to pack:

  • Clothing: Swimsuits, beach cover-ups, and water shoes for the sandy beach and roped swimming areas. Bring lightweight hiking gear for our scenic trails and casual outfits for relaxing on the “fore deck” with lake views.

  • Toiletries: While basics are provided, pack personal items like sunscreen, bug spray, and toiletries for your comfort.

  • Food and Drinks: Stock up on groceries for meals in your cottage’s full kitchen. Don’t forget marshmallows for BBQ evenings (note: no fire pits, but gas and briquette BBQs are included).

Gear for Lakefront Fun

Sunny Point Resort offers free canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and a water trampoline, but consider bringing:

  • Fishing Gear: Otter Lake is ideal for catching pike and bass. Pack your fishing rod and tackle for dockside fishing.

  • Life Jackets: While we provide some, bring personal life jackets for kids or specific sizes for safety during boating or swimming.

  • Beach Gear: Towels, beach chairs, and a good book for lounging by the water. The kids will love the free lollipops and DVD library for downtime.

Pet-Friendly Must-Haves

For those staying in our pet-friendly Muskoka cottages, ensure your furry friend is ready:

  • Pet Supplies: Food, bowls, a leash, and waste bags for walks along the 84-acre property. Pack a pet bed for their comfort in our Ontario pet-friendly cottages.

  • Toys: Bring water toys for your pet to enjoy the private beach or lakefront.

Extras for a Memorable Stay

  • Sports Equipment: Tennis rackets or basketballs for our free courts, though the 1,500 sq ft Recreation Centre has billiards, ping pong, and air hockey covered.

  • Camera or Binoculars: Capture stunning Muskoka sunsets from the docks or spot wildlife on hiking trails.

  • Boat Rentals: If you plan to rent our fishing boats or luxury pontoon, bring a small cooler for lake adventures.

What You Don’t Need

Leave fire pit supplies at home—our cottages use gas and briquette BBQs. Bedding, kitchenware, and Wi-Fi are provided, and our waterfront inn suites include satellite TV and 32” flat-screen TVs for cozy nights.

With this packing list, you’re set for an unforgettable summer at Sunny Point Resort, just 2 hours from Toronto. Book your pet-friendly lakefront cottage rental or waterfront inn suite today and dive into Muskoka’s beauty!

    Super helpful packing guide! I hadn’t thought about bringing fishing gear for Otter Lake, and the tip about pet supplies for our pup is spot-on. We’re booked for a week at one of Sunny Point’s pet-friendly cottages—any recommendations for nearby grocery stores to stock up for the full kitchen?
