Your Eyes and Ears in Muskoka.
Professional property monitoring for cottage owners, waterfront homeowners, and seasonal residents. Regular site visits, detailed reporting, and immediate notification when attention is required.
Meet Leor Godfrey.
For more than a decade, I've helped clients buy and sell cottages, waterfront homes, and investment properties throughout Muskoka and Toronto. Through that experience, I've seen firsthand the challenges property owners face when they're away from their cottage or seasonal residence.
Muskoka Watch was created to provide trusted local oversight for property owners who want peace of mind knowing someone is keeping an eye on their investment.
As a year-round Muskoka resident and active real estate professional, I regularly travel the full reach of the region — from Port Carling and Port Sandfield to Bala, Minett, and Rosseau; through Foots Bay, Baysville, and Dorset; across Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, Huntsville, and every lake road, inlet, and hidden corner in between.
Whether it's monitoring a property after a storm, checking waterfront conditions during spring runoff, or simply providing regular updates while owners are away, my goal is to be your eyes and ears in Muskoka.

Flood Preparation & Dock Protection.
When rising water levels or flooding conditions are anticipated, Muskoka Watch can assist with relocating removable items from docks, waterfront areas, and shoreline structures to reduce the risk of damage.
Additional labour may apply depending on the quantity of items and accessibility of the property.
Important: Muskoka Watch does not guarantee protection from flooding or water damage. This service is intended to help reduce risk by relocating accessible removable items when conditions permit.

What cottage owners are saying.
"Knowing someone trustworthy is checking on our cottage every two weeks has been a game changer. The photo reports are detailed and reassuring."
"After a major storm last spring, they were on-site within hours and documented everything for our insurance claim before we even knew there was damage."
"We use them to verify contractor work while we're in Toronto. The progress photos and on-site reports give us complete confidence."
