    We were able to find this gem, 5 minutes away from a wedding we were attending. The cottage is clean and new, bedding included. There are it board games, and Avery nice area/dock in a clean river. I do need to say to bring extra garbage bags as we found no extras.

    Beautiful home!! Very clean and spacious..the open concept allowed us all to be together, even while cooking. Beds were comfortable, comforters were warm! Loved sitting outside on the huge deck, especially watching the stars at night. We were there for 4 days, the weather was rainy except for our last day there, we took advantage of the sunny day and enjoyed swimming, fishing and canoeing on the beautiful river!

    This property was beautiful and the house was so clean!!! The kids loved the small little beach and thought the paddle boat was fun! We visited late October, so we cuddled around the fire and made campfire bread during the day. Exploring the town of Bracebridge was great. We cooked up a storm in the awesome kitchen. Walks along the quiet road were rejuvenating. Spotted a snowy owl. Book your stay here, you won’t regret it. ?

    This cottage is more of a high end lake house. The amenities are top of the line and the house is very spacious. Amazing stars at night when the weather/skies cooperate! Great owners too!

    Great stay for our family. The cottage was clean and looked brand new like they just built it so there was a lot of mod coms. The water area was nice too with lots to do. I would definitely recommend.

    Oneday Dreams is a Canadian charity helping to grant adult last wishes. Rivers Edge Muskoka was the perfect place for a dreamer's wish to spend time with his family. Thank you Germila, for the comfort, serenity and memories created. We hope that we can do this again in the future. With thanks and gratitude, Linda

    My family and I had a one of a kind travel expaerience at Rivers Edge. If you are looking for a remote, quite and truley serene family centred vacation get away, look no futher than Rivers Edge! Our host, Germila, was wonderful. She communicated quickly and provided great suggestions on activites and best practices during our visit. It truly felt like we were home. Everything was exaclty as advertised, including the clininess* and location of all amenities. Our toddlers felt right at home with a selction of toys and games, including one toddler table and chair in the living room and kids room. We truly wanted for nothing during our stay. We saw a few reviews about the location of the camera outside the front entrance, but we truly valued the added security with the location of the property; besides, if you arent planning to do anything facetious or outside of the code of conduct, there really isnt anything to worry about. I value peace, which was easily accomplished during our stay. We were also mindful that this is someone's home. Book, relax, enjoy (before we book again). Thank us later! The Mclean's

    We loved everything about this place, but what we loved the most was how clean it was when we got there! Spotless! We had a lovely stay with our family! The kids loved everything and didn't want to leave! From fun moments while canoeing to a relaxing experience admiring nature! Also the property managers were very friendly, kind and helpful with every request we had. Overall a great experience and a place we will come back to!
