About this cottage rental
A beautiful pine post & beam cottage on Leonard Lake, just outside Bracebridge near Port Carling. This west-facing retreat features a large dock with stunning sunsets and sunny afternoons. Inside, the Muskoka room and living room with two 15-foot accordion doors create seamless indoor-outdoor living. Perfect for a peaceful escape with modern comforts and rustic charm. Want to see the property before you book? Search YouTube for “Cooper Bay Lakeside Escape Tour.”
This thoughtfully designed cottage offers a comfortable and luxurious stay with modern amenities throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances including a Nespresso machine, SodaStream, air fryer, bread maker, Instant Pot, juicer, and a slush machine, plus a second Nespresso machine in the Master Ensuite.
Outdoor cooking enthusiasts will love the grilling setup featuring a Traeger smoker, Otto Wilde steak broiler, and even a BBQ right on the dock, perfect for lakeside meals and sunset dinners. The front deck is ideal for relaxing, with loungers, a couch, and a gas fire table overlooking the lake.
The open-concept main floor spans 800 sq ft and includes a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area for ten, and a cozy living room centered around a two-sided fireplace. Sonos speakers in both the kitchen and living room provide great sound for music while cooking, dining, or relaxing. The space opens directly to the lake through 30 feet of retractable accordion doors with screens, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor Muskoka experience.
The main floor includes two bedrooms: a comfortable queen bedroom and the spacious Master Suite, which features a king bed, vaulted ceilings, and a 300 sq ft office loft. The Master ensuite includes a unique oversized shower affectionately known as the “Car Wash.”
Upstairs, a 600 sq ft loft overlooks the main living area and includes a queen Murphy bed and a single bed—perfect for early risers or additional guests.
The lower level adds another 900 sq ft of living space, making it ideal for a second family or larger group. It features a large living room, full bathroom, and two bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with custom-built-in bunk beds. The walkout basement leads directly to the lake and dock.
The shoreline is shallow with a large sandy bottom, perfect for kids to swim and play while remaining easily visible from the dock. The large C-shaped dock provides multiple seating areas, loungers, a large umbrella for shade, and the dockside BBQ—an ideal place to relax and enjoy the beautiful lakeside views.

This cottage is amazing from the inside and out. We had 11 people (6 adults and 5 kids under 7), and it fit us perfectly. The cottage is updated with everything you could need while still having that rustic cottage feel. The view of the lake is spectacular, and there was plenty of room for all of us to feel comfortable. I have been coming to the Muskoka area for 30 years now, and this might be one of the best cottages I have been to.The size of the dock and lake access was perfect for small children and adults. There was plenty of seating, and the water was great for swimming. There's even a small sandy area for small kids about 2 feet deep. If you are looking for a cottage to sit on the dock and go swimming, this is the place for you. The lake was extremely quiet the entire week we were there, and the neighbors were very friendly. The best part is you don't feel like you're crowded in with a bunch of cottages.Access to the cottage was easy, and there was ample parking. It's a short distance away from Bracebridge, which was nice for getting food and just going into town. Dave is a great host and communication was amazing our entire stay. He answered all our questions prior to arrival and made sure we had no issues getting in. We had a storm while we were there and he made sure we were good to go in every way possible.I highly recommend this place to anyone, especially those with kids. We will 100% stay there again.

It was amazing from the time we booked this cottage until the time we came back to reality 🙂. Dave was very helpful especially in updating us about the road condition (during the time of road repair) which gave us an opportunity to amend our preparations.
We love the huge kitchen space, the long table, the baths, it’s proximity to the water, and everything about this cottage: it was just stunning and spectacular!! We can’t wait to secure our next adventure to this cottage.
Thank you Dave and to the management. Stay safe everyone.
