About this cottage rental
Welcome to your ideal lakeside getaway on Lake of Bays!
Perched on a picturesque south-facing point with all-day sunshine, our cozy 3-bedroom Muskoka cottage is the perfect retreat for families looking to relax, explore, and create lasting memories.
Step outside and enjoy your private waterfront paradise. The property features a charming mini sandy beach with a shallow, hard-packed bottom—perfect for safe and easy swimming for kids and adults. On the other side, enjoy deeper, crystal-clear water off the dock. The spacious, deep dock soaks up sun from morning to evening and easily accommodates your boat. For added fun, complimentary watercraft are included: a large canoe, three kayaks, and a paddle boat.
Inside, the cottage offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with knotty pine walls, hardwood floors, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace—ideal for cozy evenings together. The fully equipped kitchen and spacious living area are perfect for family meals and gatherings. Three comfortable bedrooms ensure restful sleep, and the bathroom has been recently updated with new flooring and a toilet.
Beyond the cottage, you’re just a short drive from the best of Muskoka. Explore boutique shopping, dining, and local charm in Huntsville, Bracebridge, Dorset, and Baysville, or spend the day hiking nearby provincial parks and scenic trails.
As the sun sets, gather around the lakeside fire pit to roast marshmallows and share stories under the stars—the perfect ending to a perfect day.
Our cottage is professionally maintained and cleaned, so you can relax knowing everything is well cared for. We look forward to welcoming you to our special place on Lake of Bays.

Great stay! Clean cottage with lots of toys/activities to keep our family of four busy for the week. Clean waterfront with convenient beach and nice dock. Quiet surroundings on private road.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2024
We recently enjoyed a stay at this lovely cottage on Lake of Bays, and it truly was a fantastic getaway. The location is absolutely perfect—right on the lake with breathtaking views. The beach area was a hit with the kids; it was clean and well-maintained, providing a great space for them to play and enjoy the water. The dock was nice and well-maintained, making it an ideal place to relax by the lake and catch some rays.
The cottage itself was charming and comfortable and provided a cozy atmosphere. However, the bathroom could use a bit of attention. There were some mold spots, and the shower had a slight leak that could use fixing. Additionally, the floor tiles were starting to lift, which was a bit of a nuisance. Despite these minor issues, the overall stay was enjoyable, and the beautiful surroundings more than made up for the bathroom's shortcomings. If these few details are addressed, this place would be perfect!
One of the highlights was being able to explore the lake with our boat daily—such a wonderful way to experience the natural beauty of the area.
Just a heads-up: the grounds are a bit rocky, which can make navigation tricky in the dark. We recommend bringing a flashlight or, even better, hang some string lights from the trees.
The location and amenities more than made up for the minor shortcomings.

Super location and very responsive host
6 / 10Average·Sep 2021
I went to the Lake of Bays with my family shortly after the Canadian / US border reopened. We are a family of 5, but we are all adults (Ages 23 and up). While we were very excited about our stay, we were a bit shocked when we walked in, and here’s a few reasons why.
Cons:
No dishwasher
No carpets or rugs
No use of the indoor fireplace
Children’s things / toys exposed in the corner of cabin and outside
Very small and outdated TV (approx. size of a laptop)
Had to bring our own pillows/sheets/comforters - this was a hardship
Dining room table has 2 chairs with backs, the rest is benches only - fine for children, tough for adults
Picnic tables outside unable to use (poor condition)
Outdated furniture / lack of furniture - really not enough seating for the amount of people they quote can stay there
Extremely small bedrooms (only 1 person can fit in bedroom at a time)
Not accessible outside - this was fine for us but beware if you have any older guests
Cobwebs everywhere (clean otherwise)
Cabin is considerably smaller than the pictures appear, would be helpful to have sq footage listed
Pros:
Water cooler
Fully stocked kitchen
Beautiful Views
Nice dock & sandy beach
Nice campfire
Use of canoe and other outdoor activities
Owner very responsive
Enjoyed our time!
