About this cottage rental
Welcome to Ril Lake. Our family has enjoyed Muskoka cottage life here for 3 generations. In between our stays we offer our cottage for others to enjoy.
Ril lake is located just east of the village of Baysville, in the popular Lake of Bays tourist area. It is a scenic spring fed lake approximately 3 miles long. Most of the lake is well treed with few visible cottages. This lovely property has an outside fire pit, stone patio and a large dock. The water is mainly deep with some shallow water with a sand and pebble bottom. The south west view provides a pretty lake view and ample sun. Cottage is three levels with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, flex space and skylights. The pine kitchen has modern appliances and is open to the dining room.
Ril lake is only minutes to Baysville, a quaint village where you can wander through small shops or enjoy it's scenic park and trail. Not far from Brace bridge for more shopping. Drive right up to the cottage where there is a lovely covered porch to sit. A lower stone patio is a good place to sit and enjoy the lake view. A deck sits at the shore with plenty of space to sit and enjoy the view. Large dock from the shore with lots of room to sit and a diving board. Shore is rock but there is a small shallow area where the bottom is sand and pebbles. Deep water at the end of the dock (about 10 feet deep).

The cottage is in a great location and has charm. We loved sitting on the dock enjoying the view, the lake is beautiful and fairly quiet. I was happy we were allowed to bring our pets. If we book again, we will bring dish cloths and hand soap. Overall we had a great weekend!

This was a lovely spot for our end of Summer vacation & we were really pleased with the lodging & amenities.

Everyone agreed that this was a wonderful cottage for our family to stay at for one week. There was plenty of space for 6 adults, 2 children and 1 dog. The kitchen offered so many extras including a blender and electric skillet! The paddle boards were very popular and the 5 year old became a superstar on the kids kayak! The lake is lovely and quiet. Although you can see the neighbours when on the dock and share a few friendly waves, everyone kept to themselves.
Given a choice, I'd prefer not to have to provide our own bedding and towels.
All in all, a fabulous week on Ril Lake. Thanks for everything. :)

Rustic home on Ril lake. Perfect for two small families or group of friends. Home has large outdoor upper deck and good size kitchen with plenty of eating space. Living room is small but not needed if you're spending your time on the great lower dock. Great non-motorized water toys and large sun umbrella for a little shade. House is in need of TLC and basement is unusable due to dampness and strong moisture smell, despite the dehumidifiers. Driveway is very steep into the house. Lots of stairs from house to lake. Might not be suitable for those with mobility issues. *This site has very weak cell signal therefore phone calls have poor reception and no to cellular data. Not ideal when the cottage has no wifi. Expect to be completely off-line. Data coverage is available at the local community centre in Baysville or Dorset ( each is15 - 20 minutes away).
