Fun family cottage on the water in Muskoka
Welcome to Four Gables, an idyllic cottage retreat. Perfect for building lasting family memories.

Enjoy endless waterfront fun from your private dock...

Chef ready kitchen with new appliances in 2025

Four Gables has been carefully designed to give you the iconic cottage escape you’ve been dreaming of while providing all the luxury conveniences you need to truly feel like you can relax while on your vacation.
You can expect all the outdoor cottage classics:
> Jumping off the private dock
> Paddling in the kayaks (2), canoe, paddleboat*
> Endless hours of fun on the floating mat (16' x 6')
> S'mores at the fire pit (with a supply of fire wood + blankets for cooler nights)
> Your pick of two huge decks - both with comfortable seating
> Dining under the stars
*Life jackets and beach towels are provided
Inside Four Gables, you'll find three levels of inviting spaces for full-family fun OR for curling up in one of the delightful nooks to spend a few minutes (or hours) relaxing and unwinding on your own.
Our lower level has a bright and spacious walk-out rec room ideal for:
> Snuggling in for Movie Nights
> Laughing Over Fuzzball Tournaments
> Rediscovering Classic Board Games & Cards
And just because you’re getting away from it all doesn’t mean you have to miss a thing… Enjoy the 55" High Definition TV. We provide Bell Satellite service with the Sports Package (TSN, Sportsnet, MLB, etc...). We also provide an Apple TV which has Netflix. You can stream other services with your own login.
The main floor has been thoughtfully planned to make hanging out fun and social. The open and welcoming space flows onto the large back deck and has glorious views of the lake, generous seating and indoor and outdoor dining options.
The kitchen has everything you need to eat in luxury:
> Brand new induction stove, oven, fridge and microwave
> Dishwasher (just because you are getting rustic at the cottage doesn’t mean you want to do the dishes by hand).
> Everything you need to cook, just like you are at home, including spices, utensils, casserole dishes, baking trays…
>Coffee & tea station (with a tea pot)
>Weber Genesis BBQ (new in 2025 - which means that the starter button still works!) + a grill basket and BBQ tools. The BBQ is hooked up to our propane.
Our favorite part of the kitchen is how integrated it is with the living room, dining room and outdoor space. You'll never feel like you are banished to kitchen duty while everyone else is busy joking and having fun. (And there is enough counter space for sous chefs)
There’s two dining table options - one inside and one outside. The inside dining room table is supersized - making it ideal for long laughter-filled feasts AND perfect for spreading out classic board games.
The living room is a favorite place to lounge and relax, chat with anyone in the kitchen, watch the bird drama at the feeder, or just kick back and read a book. We hope you will enjoy the beautiful original art on the walls.
The main floor has two bedrooms, both with super-comfy queen beds. Each room has a selection of games, puzzles and books. All linen and towels are provided. There is also a full main floor bathroom.
The spacious third floor is full of delightful surprises that will take your cottage experience to the next level:
> King bed with a captivating view of the stars at night AND the sunrise in the morning
> You'll find a bonus living room with a huge cathedral window with a view that has to be seen to be believed (a favorite spot for some quiet reading or a coffee in the morning)
> Two person jacuzzi
> If you love puzzles - you're going to love this - there's a dedicated puzzle table that can be tilted to whatever angle you like. No need to get a crick in your neck or clear the table for dinner.
> Broad selection of puzzles
> There's a comfy daybed that can expand to become a full double bed (or 2 twins)
> Full bathroom
> A washer and dryer that you are welcome to use (new in 2025)

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Justine Brown
My husband, Rob, and I recently spent four years traveling the world as digital nomads - staying in short term rentals. We must have had a million conversations about what makes a perfect Airbnb. And now... we are finally hosts ourselves. It's time to put our dreams into practice! Our goal is to have our guests feel like they are in a truly luxurious, inviting home - comfortable, brimming with character, dream kitchen, a place to truly relax.
Why they chose this property
We love the peace and tranquility of being on a small lake where you can truly relax while being close enough to everything we need, like groceries and restaurants, to easily access everything we need.
What makes this property unique
Four Gables is not just a rental property. It is our home for 9 months of the year. You'll find everything you need for a truly welcoming and comfortable stay.
It combines everything there is to love about a traditional cottage experience - lakefront, sunny dock, water boats and toys, games and books - with convenience and luxury. There's high speed Internet, an EV charger, TV with premium cable and streaming services, and Air Conditioning. We supply high quality bedding, towels, and high-end comfortable furniture. New (in 2025) appliances including washer, dryer, oven, induction stove, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, BBQ.
We understand that family and friend vacations are about having spaces for having fun together - but also about having little nooks to be able to relax on your own - or have those long one-on-one conversations that there isn't always time for in the business of non-vacation life. We've got spaces for both.
There are two large patios to choose from with tons of space for relaxing and outdoor eating - or simply curling up with a book. There are three living rooms - one for games, TV and movie night, the second for socializing and relaxing, and a third for a little quiet space.
Each bedroom is designed to be comfortable, unique and a little oasis for sleeping AND for waking up at whatever time you like and taking in the gorgeous views.
There is original art and beautiful decor throughout the cottage - carefully chosen to make it feel welcoming and super comfortable.
There are thoughtful touches everywhere - from beautiful placemats for the dining room table to blankets for the fire pit. This is because we want to make staying at Four Gables an unforgettable experience.
