About this cottage rental

NOTE: PRICES MAY BE QUOTED IN US DOLLARS. For rates in Canadian dollars, please ensure Currency under Regional Settings is set to "CAD Canadian Dollar (C$)."

Lake Muskoka 4 BR cottage with all amenities and a sandy beach. Directly on Lake Muskoka. Safe, level lot surrounded by trees with plenty of privacy. Granite and stainless steel kitchen, dishwasher, washer and dryer. The main house has 3 bedrooms: a queen size master bedroom with a picture window overlooking the lake, a lakefront guest room with a queen bed which is perfect for 1-2 adults, and in the third bedroom, kids or adults can sleep in 2 twins.
If you have guests, or someone wants more privacy, take advantage of the separate bunkie. This has 2 twin beds (which can be combined to make a king - filler in dresser), its own bathroom and shower. The bunkie has 2 rooms, and can sleep up to 4 people if you use the pull-out couch.
Having a southern exposure in Muskoka is probably the main thing to look for if you like the sun. Here you will find expansive multi-level southern decks for relaxing or dining, and if you want to get away, go up to the boathouse sundeck where there is peace and quiet, a jaw-dropping view of the lake, a patio table for dining or entertaining, and lounge chairs for 4.
Ever lay out at night looking for shooting stars? You'll find the meteor shower here every August in a cottage country starry sky.
Roast marshmallows at night in our fire pit by the lake.
The water is warm, thanks to the shallow bay, which also does a good job of keeping away roaming boaters.
You can dock your boat here, or use our canoe and kayaks to explore the lake. Have your morning coffee at the end of the dock, and listen to the loons.
Need to grab something? The General Store in Glen Orchard is 5 minutes away. Restaurants in Bala, Port Carling, Gravenhurst and Bracebridge are all within easy reach. Or enjoy nearby golf, tennis and hiking.
This is the vacation you'll remember.

It feels like you're miles from civilization when you're at Peter's cottage, but in reality you're only minutes from Bala and Port Carling where you can get anything you need. It's the best of both worlds. Quiet spot on the lake....and Peter was easily accessible and great to work with. We would not hesitate to book here again.

Great location. Sun all day plus beautiful sunrises in the morning and sunsets at night. Great sandy beach and shallow water around the dock. The boathouse deck was great and the dloating dock a great bonus. The beds were super comfy and there are 2 fridges, which is great for all the food. There is some noise from the highway, that is quite close by, but the sound of the waves helped. Great place! Would definitely reccomend.

Wonderful cottage, exactly like the pictures

Wonderful cottage, exactly like the pictures

We loved the cottage and kids really enjoyed the fact that the beds were really comfortable. The cottage has all the amenities needed to spend a great time reading on dock or on the patio. we went kayaking almost every day and it is easy to stay out of an area where the boats and water jet skis are. The stars were amazing. We were a little worried as there were large cottages across the lake but they were good at turning off their lights at night. The week-end (friday night/saturday) tended to be busier on the lake but we love the place none the less. Ducks came to say hi regularly and there were beautiful birds and a chipmunk who came to visit us regularly on the patio by the house. We also brought a badminton net and there was enough space to install it by the lake. The firepit was also great and there was no bugs at night!

Another good week for our group on Lake Muskoka. Beds were soo comfortable. Big comfy couches. Dock space perfect for our boat. Free public boat launch close by in Port Carling. Lots of seating about the property. Kids loved the raft to swim to and the kayaks. Also good for small kids as there is a sandy, shallow entry. Dining on the boathouse roof was a highlight as were the campfires. Location is close to Hwy 169- easy access to Bala and Port Carling. Thanks Peter!

A lovely traditional older Muskoka cottage upgraded to make it very functional and comfortable. Lots of space and great beds. A great variety of water equipment all in good condition. Close to both Bala and Port Carling yet on a quiet bay. Peter was very helpful and easily accessible to answer any questions.

Comfortable and private getaway

Comfortable and private getaway

We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Peter's cottage! Listing description and pictures are very accurate and Peter was very responsive answering our questions. The cottage was very clean and well-stocked (kitchenware/gadgets, towels, games, VHS movies, canoe, kayaks, paddleboards, life jackets). Peter provided a great document outlining the rules and how everything works (garbage, dishwasher, etc). We were 6 adults and 2 dogs, so it could feel a bit crowded at times (bedrooms are small), but on the nice days we spent all our time outside so that didn't matter much! The cottage is located just a 5 min drive to Bala and 10 min to Port Carling, which had all the amenities we needed. The lake water is just terrific. Warm, clean and very swimmable. The bay is quiet and we only saw a few boats in our area during our stay. We took full advantage of the calm bay and spent so much time paddle boarding, swimming and kayaking. All in all, we enjoyed our time immensely and would definitely return!

We loved our week at the Brook's cottage.

We loved our week at the Brook's cottage.

We spent an awsome week. We were busy using the kayaks, the paddle boards, the canoe that came with the cottage and our boat that we brought over at the dock.When we felt lasy we just sat on the dock and looked at the ducks that came by everyday. The cottage is in the bay so it's a lot quieter than the lake. It also has shallow sandy beach which we loved to have. We finished the day around a fire and looked at the sky filled with stars. We even had the chance to see shooting stars a few times! The cottage is pretty roomy. It had everything we needed. (Although we spent every minute of the day outside!) It has a well equipped kitchen to cook our meals. The beds are very comfy. Our teenagers loved to have a place for themselves in the bunkie. Bala is a cute place to visit. It has a good size grocery store called Freshmart which is pretty close to the cottage. A few restaurants to choose from and a few boutiques as well. A coffee shop, and a ice cream shop too. We were so sad to pack our bags at the end of the stay and to leave this piece of paradis. Thanks Peter for giving us the opportunity to live in such a beautiful place. We truly appreciate.

Wonderful!

Wonderful!

My husband, two young daughters and I had a wonderful week at this lovely Muskoka cottage this summer. We visited with our parents (children's grandparents) and siblings (kids' aunts and uncle) throughout the week, and everyone had a great time. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows in the fire pit at night; taking the canoe, kayak and paddle board out on the water; swimming off the dock and swimming platform; building sandcastles on the small beach; simply enjoying the beautiful view; and hanging out in the lovely cottage. All in all, a great time was had by all!

This cottage property was exactly as advertised. We were 2 adults with 5 teenage boys (age ranging from 13-17) and two dogs and we never felt on top of each other. Lots of space inside and outside to find privacy, wonderful waterfront area - shallow and warm. Boys loved the campfire at night and running around in the woods playing kick-the-can. Dogs could roam & run free. Beds were comfortable, all amenities provided. Cottage was cozy and quiet at night for sleeping. Loved the deck on top of the boathouse, great sunning and views. Watched the meteor shower 3 nights in a row in the anti-gravity chairs!! Bala and Port Carling were a quick drive away. We would definitely vacation here again.

Balance of Rustic and Modern with great swimming

Balance of Rustic and Modern with great swimming

Our family enjoyed a week at this great cottage on Sunset Bay on Lake Muskoka. It was minutes from Bala, Ontario for easy runs for groceries and supplies. The south facing aspect provided plenty of sun exposure on beautiful Sunset Bay. There was a solid dock and swimming platform, a sun deck above the boathouse, and a lovely deck and eating area attached to the main cottage. The kitchen had been recently renovated with new counter and appliances including range, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher. The private beach made for easy access to take the canoe for paddle. All in all, the property was as advertised, the renter was helpful answering questions, the property was well maintained. In short, it was just what we were looking for.
