Cozy 3 Bedroom Lakefront Cottage In The Muskoka For Rent

We had a great time staying here for a week in August. The cottage had everything we needed throughout the week. The check in process was easy and Emily was great to deal with and responded quickly when we reached out with a question. The cottage and bedrooms are smaller but we were outside the majority of the time anyways. Finding places to put things was a challenge but we utilized the third bedroom for items and it worked out well. Bala is less than a 10 minute drive with cute shops, the brewery was at the end of the road and Gravenhurst was less than 30 minutes away for bigger grocery stores. The only improvement we could see was that the place needs a good cleaning and dusting, but it certainly didn’t impact our trip. This place has everything you need to relax and unwind. The small lake was refreshing and is the little beach area is perfect for kids.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at the Black Lake Cottage in as many years. We love the area and all it’s happenings, and have become very fond of Black Lake itself. The cottage is great, and shows even better in person. Emily is a solid communicator, and accommodating when required. We would love to return again for a three-peat. My only criticism is there are very few places to put your clothes. It’s a bit of a bother living out of your suitcase for the whole week. I recommend placing hooks in all rooms, where reasonable. This is a pretty minor issue, however. Overall: amazing week, great cottage, great owner. Highly recommend.

Great cottage well equipped walking distance to cottage springs and great swimming

This cottage was a great place to get away for the week. The cottage and property show way more impressively in person than the photos. Emily, the cottage owner was a clear communicator and welcoming host. We would book again with Emily and this cottage.

The cottage and property were very nice. However the huge ceiling fan in the living room was not working and it was very humid in the cottage when we arrived. We could not get the barbecue to light and it wasn't very clean so we unfortunately couldn't use it. The oven was so dirty that we didn't use it. I ended up cleaning out the microwave as it was not clean as well. We couldn't get the DVD player to work. There were no smoke detectors. The steps off the back porch need a hand railing. Other than these inconveniences, overall it was a nice place for a vacation and Black Lake is a wonderfully quiet lake. The sandy bottom was a bonus.

We arrived in a heatwave! But the swimming was perfect- the little sandy beach area and gradual water entry was so wonderful. The water was cool enough to be refreshing and warm enough to stay in for a good soak. The beds were a bit more firm than we are use to, but comfy nonetheless less. The fan in the livingroom wasn't operating, but the fans provided throughout the cottage were plenty to keep us cool on the hottest days. There were games, Puzzles and even a paddleboat- something for everyone, even on our rain days. The kitchen was well outfitted and we ate in for every meal. We did have some questions and Emily was so lovely to communicate with and she was very responsive whenever messaged. If you're looking to disconnect, relax and enjoy a true cottage experience with the luxury of super shops in Gravenhurst, and Bala, I would highly recommend Emily's cottage! The daily duck and beaver visits were a bonus :) Thank you for a terrific week- we were so pleased to have found this gem! Laura & family

Beautiful waterfront location. Had a great time, enjoying the small lake on the paddle boat and kayak, sitting by the campfire. Explored the local area including the nearby Beer Spa with live local entertainment, free water ski show in Bala, farmer's market and wharf in Gravenhurst, Kirby's beach in Bracebridge and Muskoka drive-in. Cottage is comfortable and has great view.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. There were lots of activities to chose from and we had plenty of fun. It was also a great place to relax and enjoy nature. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely return for another visit!

We were nicely surprised by everything offered at this cottage. Thanks for a nice week.

We had a wonder week here! The cottage was lovely and clean. It was nice to walk on flat land to the waters edge! We would definitely look at renting this property again!
