About this cottage rental

A lovely 3 bedroom 2000 sq. ft log cottage + bunkie on Lake of Bays, boasting amazing views of the lake and 310' of private shoreline! Located only 2 hours from Toronto, this recently upgraded cottage is tastefully decorated with gleaming wood laminate floors, pine trim and a freestanding stone fireplace creating that wonderful cottage ambiance. The kitchen offers plenty of counter space with room for eating at the breakfast bar or café table. The long living room and lake room/dining room is divided by the stone fireplace, offering bright views of the deck and lake while you enjoy a meal, or a cozy place to curl up with a good book or movie. A separate games table provides a spot for a puzzle or a great game of cards!

The master bedroom and ensuite bath are located at the north end of the cottage and the other two bedrooms and bath are located at the opposite end for added privacy. The master bedroom is a sprawling 20x20 foot room with vaulted ceilings, pine trim, private sitting area with views of the lake and a large and recently renovated ensuite bathroom. The two additional bedrooms in the south end of the cottage are a good size and are separated by a second bathroom. The front bedroom has direct access to the deck and amazing views.

The cottage sits elevated from the waterfront and the large deck across the front gives a great vantage point to look out over the lake, while the mature trees provide both privacy and some shade. There is a glass-top pergola atop the highest deck, offering shade from sun or rain and making the outdoor space useable at all times. Complete with a patio set for outdoor meals, Napoleon BBQ, Muskoka chairs and chaise loungers, this space offers you sun and vistas all day long. A set of steps lead you halfway down the hill to a secondary deck. The second deck offers sun and shade, and enough privacy to enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake. We also have an outdoor shower and this is where the outdoor fireplace is located. You will find yourself at the south part of the lake with big views of Burnt Island and the opposing shoreline.

A cedar-top dock measures 25'x40' with a boat slip which has room for your boat if you decide to bring one. There is plenty of room to sit on the dock and relax as you gaze out across the expanse of Lake of Bays. The water here is crystal clear, about 3 feet deep right at the shoreline with rock bottom and slopes down to deeper water. Perfect for the kids who will love jumping into 10 ft of water at the end of the dock. There is sun on the dock virtually all day long, with the sun setting directly across from you every night! Come and enjoy cottage life here at this great family cottage.

We wanted a place to stay in Muskoka to enjoy the scenic fall colours, for 6 adults with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. We were hosting friends from out of country. This place delivered! Kitchen was well stocked for us to cook our own meals and the owners were super prompt with answering our questions.

Wow what an amazing experience! My husband and I booked Ryan and Mikes place for a last week away with our close friends as a vacation/baby moon and it did not disappoint! The cottage itself is located just minutes from the adorable town of baysville where we checked out local shops, the lake of bays brewery and plenty of ice cream places. It was extremely clean and well kept, very spacious while still having those “cottage cozy” vibes. The primary bedroom has more than enough space for two plus additional space for anyone travelling with little ones that need a playpen or crib area. There is ample space between bedroom sections so noise is very minimal if any at all. We travelled with our friends 20 month old and never heard his little feet running around at 6am lol. The view from back deck is spectacular both during the day but especially when the sun is setting over the lake. Worried about taking some time off from the gym for the week? The stairs up and down to the dock have you covered lol. Although there were several of them at 7.5 months pregnant I was able to do them many times up and down without any issues. We toured into Huntsville and Dorset to get groceries a few times which was a quick 20min drive so no issues at all there either. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities way more than the average cottage rental usually comes with. We had such an amazing time for our week stay that leaving was the only negative part. Highly recommend 5 star rental. The pictures do not do it justice. Thank you again Ryan & Mike for you gracious hospitality!!

We really enjoyed our two weeks at Sunset Shore. It is a perfect cottage for 2 families to share, since the bedrooms/bathrooms are on opposite sides of the house, and the indoor and outdoor seating is spacious. We spent lots of time in the water and really appreciated having the peddle boat, paddle board, canoe and Lilypad!! We also brought a motor boat with us and it fit perfectly into the slip in the dock. At one point there was an issue with the dishwasher and Ryan was extremely responsive when I let him know. It was fixed within a day. We're already looking forward to returning next summer.

This cottage is conveniently located just off the main road and close to Baysville and Dorset for little outings or if you need to grab more ice/snacks etc. On occasion we would hear a bit of traffic but nothing that bothered us! We brought 3 vehicles, a boat trailer and bike trailer and with some reorganization we managed to fit all in the driveway quite nicely. The cottage is spacious and well laid out..lots of indoor comfy seating areas/games table etc for any lazy days spent inside. The dining room was perfect for bringing dinner inside when the bugs were too much to handle! The outside deck areas are great for watching the sunsets which are definitely the main attraction each night! We enjoyed sitting on the dock during the day…large lake but it was usually quite calm and just enough boat traffic to entertain us! Nice outdoor fireplace on the bunkie level with another great view of the lake and the tv in the bunkie is a nice option if you want to watch it while having a campfire! Overall we had a very enjoyable, comfortable stay and came home with some great memories and a LOT of sunset pictures!

We had a lovely week at this cottage. The teens enjoyed the bunkie and the adults enjoyed all the space of the main cottage. The cottage is well located, very close to Baysville for your ice cream cones! The views from the back deck were a beautiful first impression and the evenings on the dock were perfect for taking in the awesome sunsets. Just be prepared for the stairs...excellent for working off the ice cream!
