About this cottage rental
Welcome to this updated cottage with relaxing views of beautiful Bird Lake, known for its crystal blue water. Located just 30 minutes from Bracebridge, this property offers a true cottage getaway, yet it is a short drive from shopping, restaurants, and attractions in the Muskoka region.
Inside the spacious open concept cottage, there are panoramic views of the lake from both the open concept kitchen and living room. The floor to ceiling stone fireplace adds a touch of luxury to enjoy on the occasional rainy days or evenings curled up with a good book. Modern upgrades in this cottage include shiplap throughout, lighting, and new granite countertops. There is a wall mounted TV with satellite and plenty of books to keep guests entertained.
You will find a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of dining space inside and outside. The sliding doors off the dining area open onto a spacious deck where you’ll find a barbecue and comfortable chairs to enjoy an afternoon cocktail.
The main floor also consists of a full bathroom and a master bedroom with a queen size bed with plenty of closet space. The upstairs is a spacious loft area with a king bed. Also, the loft has a comfy third bedroom with a queen bed.
The waterfront is steps from the cottage where there is a fire pit, a large dock, and a picnic table.
The shallow sandy entrance is safe for children, and they can play for hours in the water while the adults can keep a close eye and lounge on the dock. The shallow walkout to the water gradually deepens for great swimming in clean and clear water. There is also a canoe and kayaks at your disposal to enjoy a leisurely paddle on the lake. The lake is known for good fishing Bass and Perch, and on the other side of the road, there is Bigwind Lake, where you can find more species of fish such as walleye and trout. Bigwind Provincial Park is near with plenty of trails.

Bird Lake is a nice quiet lake with good fishing. The cottage is secluded yet convenient to Gravenhurst and Bracebridge. There is a lot to see and do in the area and our kids had a wonderful time. The cottage is clean and well appointed; best of all it’s close to the water.

This is a beautiful cottage in a fantastic location. The lake is very quiet and private, the walk-in sandy entry is really nice to have and there was great bass fishing right from the dock. The cottage felt very comfortable and private with all the amenities that you could possibly need. There are indeed lots of different birds at Bird Lake and we would love to spend more time here in the future.

Lovely property on a quiet lake. Everything was clean and well maintained. Our hosts Jodi and Bryan were very responsive and available to answer any questions. Great for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and canoeing as well as just sitting back and relaxing. It is a bit of a drive off the main road but the roads are well maintained. Nearest town for grocery shopping is Bracebridge which is about a 30 minute drive one way. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a nice relaxing getaway.

Great Cottage for a Muskoka visit
This was our second stay and it won't be our last. Owners are responsive and the cottage is stunning, nicely renovated, clean, and has an ideal location on an ideal lake. The recent upgrades of satelite WiFi and dishwasher were additional great touches. Thanks again for a great stay Jodi and Bryan!

Excellent location, away from the rat race
Great location if you want peace and quiet - 9 km off the main road on a dead end street. We were there in mid October, hence the absolute quiet, but I imagine the summer months are good as well. Cottage was very clean and just as depicted. Great communication with Jodi looking after us. Our stay came with an amazing light show as mother nature decided to give us a storm, complete with lightning and high winds. We actually lost power but no problem, the back up generator gave us what we needed. I gave it a 5 star for all categories, other than overall rating. I felt that the value for the rate charged wasn't there. Just being honest.

Just what the doctor ordered!
My husband and I stayed with our adult children and there partners coming and going. Everything we needed was there on hand: well supplied kitchen, towels, bed linen, bbq, lifejackets. It was great to be detoxed from phones for the stay but they could still get wifi. Limited but good wifi was excellent for the young adults who downloaded movies before they came. Very neat and tidy property. We took advantage of the kayaks and paddleboats, took great walks and hikes and enjoyed spectacular views onto the lake. Even had a campfire at night . We will be going back!

Great fall getaway
Hats off to the owners for an excellent cottage experience That had everything. We were here for 4 nights and got to watch the amazing transformation of the leaves turning colour as we sat by this beautiful quiet lake. The cottage was spotless the upstairs king bed super comfy and everything we needed was here. Our car never moved. Fishing was good right off the dock too and we couldnt have asked for better. Thanks Jodi and Partner! Lol

Such a relaxing cottage experience
We had such a wonderful time staying at this cottage with my infant son and family. Everything that you could have wanted in a cottage was already here and it made for travelling with my baby so easy/care free. We were super comfortable and Jodi and Bryan were so attentive when we needed to ask questions. I’m definitely wanting to come back and I would have stayed longer if I could have! It was so wonderful! A perfect escape.

Great cottage, beautiful location, very clean. Everything we needed for a relaxing girls weekend!
This cottage is lovely! We woke up every morning with the sun shining on the lake. The dock is a great place to enjoy that first cup of coffee. The water is clean for swimming. The cottage itself has everything you need for a great trip. The beds are very comfortable. We were extremely happy with the cleanliness of the cottage. We would have no second thoughts about returning! The welcome basket was a nice surprise. Thank-you.

My wife and t had an absolutely heavenly vacation at this property. Jodi was a wonderful host who was prompt when responding to emails, offered a beautiful and well appointed property. We enjoyed the use of the canoe, kayak and the stand up paddle board. It was tranquil and scenic. We spent a great deal of time just happily sitting on the dock. Upon check-in we found a welcome basket that included a lovely bottle of wine and some candy. I have to admit the wine paired perfectly with our Jerk Chicken dinner! It’s as if she knew.... I could go on forever! We will be back!Thanks Jodi ☺️

Beautiful Cottage, Wonderful Vacation
Our family had a great stay. The cottage is immaculate and very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the welcome basket with local goodies. The lake has a shallow area which made playing in the water great for my granddaughters (we were very happy we brought watershoes). The screened-in area on the deck was great for meals outside. The cottage is well outfitted with kayaks, a canoe and a paddle board, and there was plenty of firewood for evening marshmallow roasting. We would love to come back again.

Superb!
Our family absolutely loved this cottage. It is situated deep in the heart of Muskoka, on a smaller lake, which made for a quiet and relaxing stay without a lot of motorboat traffic. It is very private, and is well stocked with everything we needed for our stay, including a vast selection of board games and lots of watercraft. Our kids spent all day in the water, alternating between the paddle board, kayaks and canoe and the lake was small enough that we traversed its whole length on our canoe trips. Fish were abundant and we caught a number of large bass just fishing off the dock - such a delight for the kids! The cottage itself was spotless, cozy and very tasteful. Jodi and Bryan were very attentive and responsive hosts, who obviously care deeply about this property and their guests. Highly recommend!

Pure Beauty looking out from the Dock!
We had an excellent vacation at this spacious private cottage. It was quiet and had all the amenities that you could ask for. We enjoyed eating in the screened deck dining area and our highlight of the day was sitting on the picturesque dock looking out into the peaceful lake. The watercraft options were amazing and we used everything every day from canoeing to kayaking to the SUP! We will definitely be back! Thanks again Jodi and Bryan!

Beautiful cottage with superb hosts
The cottage was absolutely fantastic, very clean, and nicely renovated. The kitchen was well stocked and the welcome basket of local items was a great touch. The position on the lake offers nice sunrise views and some late afternoon shade on the dock, and there is a range of small watercraft available for use. Also must mention the superb responsiveness of the hosts to any needs or requests! Thanks to you both for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing Summer Stay !
We had a great family getaway at this property. The property was very clean and well maintained. There is a good amount of space outdoors for activities, fire, etc. We made good use of the canoe and SUP. The kitchen is well stocked with items you need for cooking and cleaning.
Jodi was very responsive to any questions we had and she even had a little welcome basket waiting for us when we arrived. This was a very nice touch.
Thanks to Jodi and Bryan for a great stay!

Fantastic
Jodi's cottage exceeded our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed plus extras. Every detail was thought of. We really enjoyed the screened in dinning area on the porch, ate every meal out there. The lake is beautiful, calm waters and warm. Our two year old son could easily get in and out and spent hours splashing around the shallow sandy shoreline. We saw lots of fish! The canoe and paddle board were in great condition, and the lake's calm waters made for a very enjoyable paddle around. Thanks Jodi for the wonderful family memories, we are looking forward to our next stay :)

Beautiful cottage, amazing lake view
We had such a lovely relaxing time at Jodi’s cottage, pleasantly surprised with the welcome basket (with dog treats for Teddy).
The cottage is very nice, clean, we had everything we needed. Beautiful and quiet, the view of the lake is gorgeous, especially with the morning mist.
I enjoyed so much watching the hummingbird on the blue iris flowers by the lake.
Thank you, Jodi, for having us. Hope to be back!

Thanksgiving Weekend
We had a wonderful family stay at the cottage over the Thanksgiving weekend. Everything was as we expected it to be based on the website description. There was a lovely gift basket waiting for us when we arrived. Jodi and Bryan were courteous and helpful when we needed access to a kayak. The cottage is comfortable and the view is stunning. We would definitely go back!
