About this property

Blue Bliss Cottage with Separate Boat House Accommodations on Lake Muskoka 4b/2b

Welcome to Blue Bliss! Our little piece of heaven on Lake Muskoka! Our cottage is located just 1.5 hours from Toronto between Gravenhurst and Bala...very close to everything the Muskoka Lakes region has to offer. The main cottage is classic Muskoka on flat, easy access property with ample parking. The cottage has tons of natural light and charm, two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining table that seats 8 and a comfortable living room with excellent Wifi and large TV to stream movies. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and there is a coffee station with Nespresso coffee maker. The main deck off the cottage has magnificent views with comfortable large sectional, a dining table for 8, and BBQ with propane. The fire pit is set up with Muskoka chairs next to the cottage with firewood provided. The boathouse is just a few steps away from the main cottage via a deck walkway and a few stairs down and features two bedrooms and a lovely waterfront deck with Muskoka chairs and space for yoga. The boathouse has a Keurig coffee maker for easy access to your morning brew. The boathouse also has a separate Wifi network and fold-up table to provide the option of a private office. There is also a door separating each room in the boathouse and each room has its own entrance door from the upper deck for added privacy. The water level of the boathouse has two single kayaks, one tandem kayak, two paddle boards, life jackets and a swimming raft. The cottage is located just minutes from all the great Muskoka shops and restaurants. Take an afternoon or dinner cruise on one of the Muskoka steamships from Gravenhurst Wharf. Great golf and hiking nearby. All bed linens and towels provided. We are looking for responsible, non-smoking renters who want to enjoy some quality time in Muskoka. Unfortunately, we do not allow pets (sorry, owner has allergies).

An amazing stay in Muskoka!Our stay at the cottage was truly wonderful. The place was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully kept, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The location couldn't be better, just a short drive to both Port Carling and Bala, with shops, cafés, and charming town walks close by. A visit to the cranberry winery in Bala was a highlight, and a must for anyone staying in the area. Whether you're into hiking, enjoying the water, or simply relaxing and strolling through town, this cottage has it all. We'd love to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful Muskoka getaway

We were so impressed when we arrived at the Blue Bliss cottage! It was decorated beautifully and still cozy with a cottage atmosphere! You had a beautiful view of the lake from the kitchen, living room, deck and especially the boat house (where we spent most of our outdoor time enjoying the views!). There were so many extra touches to make our stay feel like home! The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and were quick to respond to any questions we had! We were there in cooler weather but that didn’t stop us from enjoying our entire stay! We are looking forward to a return visit!!

Blissful week at the Blue Bliss Cottage

We enjoyed such a truly blissful week at this beautiful cottage. It was lovely to sit out on the deck and look out on the lake, to see loons and blue herons, to see a deer on our walk and to gather as a family around the table each evening and recount the day's adventures.

We spent three nights here in late October and we’re very happy with our choice. The cottage is very clean, Well designed, and well-maintained. We were very pleased to arrive and have access to coffee and a gift certificate to the local bakery. A beautiful view, a great and spacious deck and balcony, and a fun area for two or three people to sleep comfortably in the boathouse. Thanks for a beautiful stay!

Nicely decorated, perfect location

Cute cottage with details like 3 types of coffee makers, welcome gift, nice decor and outdoor accommodations. Carolyn was quick to respond to enquiries. Excellent location on Lake Muskoka, close to marina/boat launch and Town of Gravenhurst, Bala, Bracebridge. Newly added ensuite bath and renovated master bedroom made it a nice stay. Excellent view of lake amd lovely glass balcony for panoramic view. The only negatives were: no a/c, and the kitchen while fully equipped, was small and basic. But overall a nice stay.

Incredible!

We had the most amazing time as Blue Bliss over Thanksgiving! The cottage is spectacular - just as pictured! Bedrooms and bathrooms are amazing The views from the cottage and boathouse are breathtaking You can’t beat this location. 10 mins from Gravenhurst and so easy to get to. We did a few hikes that were close by to see the fall colours. We were even able to cook a whole Turkey dinner for thanksgiving! We would definitely stay here again! It wasn’t long enough! :)

Lake getaway

Great location. Very peaceful setting. Great views from the boathouse and patio. Fire pit outside was worthy of an every evening activity. Lake is very conducive to swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Very convenient to Gravenhurst. 10 to 15 minute drives to groceries, restaurants and other amenities in the area. Nice hiking trail around Hardy Lake lake only 2.5 miles away. About 6 miles away is the small town of Bala(opposite direction away from Gravenhurst). Really quaint little town with some amenities and a nice falls to look at. Happens to be the Cranberry capitol of the Muskoka. Go figure. Overall well worth the trip.
