About this property

The View From Here!

This cozy, traditional 3+ bedroom cottage on Lake of Bays offers the most gorgeous views on the lake. Built on a gently-sloping rock face in a sheltered bay, the main floor has large windows and a deck that look out onto unspoiled islands and calm waters. An almost perfectly southern exposure offers sun from morning till late afternoon.

Inside, a great room with vaulted ceiling, sky lights and a rustic granite floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace leads onto a galley kitchen, 2 main floor bedrooms (sleep 3) and a large bathroom with shower and side by side vanities. A small loft and an above-ground basement sleep 3 more comfortably. The "bunky", complete with queen-sized bed, two-piece bathroom and bar fridge, is always the most coveted sleeping spot.

The main floor deck has seating for eight and an attached screened-in "Muskoka room" with more seating and a day bed.

Down at the water, a clear, sandy bottom lake slopes gradually, offering great swimming for all ages. A cedar-lined electric sauna leads onto a long dock with two swimming ladders and an attached deck.

The View From Here is Spectacular

Stayed June 14-21 2021 with family. Our time together was long overdue, thanks to Covid and we couldn’t have spent it in a nicer venue. The cottage was so well appointed, everything you could need was provided. The waterfront was gorgeous, and the swimming was excellent! The cottage had a true “ cottagey “ feel, and obviously the owner’s family spent many happy times there. I would not hesitate to recommend this place for a family vacation. Our host was very gracious and accommodating! We can’t wait to return next year.

Amazing time at Lake of Bays!

My family and I have been coming up to Canada from the US our entire lives. We had to sell out cottage years ago and this was our first time back since then. Tom made sure that the house was clean and convenient for us to stay at. There were kayaks and a grill to use, and plenty of towels for when we wanted to swim or take a shower. We had an incredible time and we hope to stay again in the future!
