Muskoka Cottage Got Too Big For 1 Homeowner, So He Found A Creative Way To Sell It

"A home of this value… they don’t sell every day in Muskoka."

Americans have the Hamptons for their summer vacation needs, but Canadians have a prime getaway spot of their own: Ontario's Muskoka region.

It's the kind of area on every homeowner's wish list. Whether you can afford it is a different story.
