Perched above sparkling waters and nestled in the treetops, this rustic-luxury retreat offers a truly rare Muskoka experience. Unwind on the floating hammock net, cozy up by the double-sided indoor/outdoor fireplace, and dive into lake life from your private dock—perfect for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, or stand-up paddleboarding.

Wake up to golden sunrises through the forest canopy. Fall asleep to the gentle lapping of waves. It’s just you, the water, and the wilderness.<br>
The Space

One of the few cottages grandfathered right on the lake’s edge, this cozy gem blends craftsmanship with nature. It features:

A newly renovated, beautifully styled interior

Two connected bunkie rooms plus a hidden A-frame loft (ladder access)

A spacious dock and new waterfront deck

Panoramic lake views and total seclusion

Note: The cottage is intentionally compact and best suited for families or small groups of nature lovers. There’s one bathroom and an 8-person max, which may be tight for 8 adults.

Good to Know

Remote setting with a hilly gravel access road

Not ideal for hiking on-property due to steep terrain, but nearby trails abound

Quiet community: Please respect noise bylaws (no outdoor music after 11 PM)

Brand new renovation completed this spring

    We had a lovely stay at The Water Edge. The owner is incredibly kind and responsive, and the property itself is absolutely gorgeous — cozy, clean, and set in a beautiful location that really lives up to the name.One important thing to note for anyone visiting in the winter: the road leading into the cottage is not ploughed. Between our three vehicles, we got stuck four separate times, and I had to call CAA twice to get us out. It was a stressful experience that definitely impacted our trip.I would strongly recommend having an all-wheel-drive vehicle during winter conditions. This wasn’t mentioned on the website, and it would be very helpful for future guests to know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.Overall, a beautiful place with a wonderful owner — just be prepared if you’re visiting in the winter.
