Owning a waterfront property in Simcoe County or Muskoka is a dream — but when winter comes, that dream needs a bit of preparation. ❄️

Here are a few quick tips to get your waterfront home ready for the colder months:

  • Winterize your pipes and dock — frozen lines and ice damage can be costly.

  • Secure outdoor furniture and boats to protect them from strong winds or heavy snow.

  • Inspect your roof and gutters before the first big snowfall.

  • Check your heating system to ensure your home stays cozy all season long.

Taking these steps now will help you relax and enjoy the beauty of lakeside living — even when it’s blanketed in snow.
