Fantastic second stay at our favorite Muskoka retreat

Had a wonderful time. Everything was amazing as it was our first stay. The location, the views from the floor to ceiling windows in the living room, time spent on the water, and use of the BBQ and sauna. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us!

Magical Snow Escape

As always, this property is wonderful, particularly in the wintertime! There is lots to do outdoors in the surrounding area. The hosts even provided some treats for Valentines Day, which was very thoughtful! We look forward to returning again!

Amazing Stay!!!

As soon as we saw the house, it was beautiful and we couldn’t wait to begin our vacation! The house was very clean, amazing views and a dream away from home. We loved how the house was in the middle of everything if you had to make a run to Walmart or shopping. We especially loved the water view and how quiet and peaceful it was. We will definitely return! Thank you Greg for being a great host

Great Stay at Muskoka River Retreat

We stayed 7 nights at this cottage in late July/early August 2024. The cottage is very well appointed and has everything you need for a stay away. The surrounding area is very quiet and peaceful. The check-in process was a breeze and the host left very detailed instructions so we didn't have any questions. It's a short 15 km drive to Bracebridge which has great shopping, food options, entertainment, and some great beaches if looking for a different option for swimming. You can tell the host takes great pride in their property!

Summer cottage getaway

We had the most amazing week on this cottage! It was beautiful and clean and perfect stay for my husband myself and our 14 month old daughter. There was a ton of outdoor space and a great waterfront. Greg was a wonderful host and provided us with everything we could need and was very responsive for all of our questions! We would absolutely stay here again!

Winter Paradise!

This was our family's second time renting this amazing cottage and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Lots of places to explore nearby, clear and star filled skies at night, and a good amount of snow to enjoy! Greg, the host, was a gracious and attentive as ever. We definitely recommend a getaway here and hope to be back!

Exceptional vacation

The cottage is stunning and luxurious. Exactly as advertised and more. Swam off the dock and paddled the river to falls every day. Rainy days in the Muskoka room are what it was designed for. Loved the days we spent there making happy family memories. Hope to spend time there again in the future. Thank you Greg and Kathleen for a wonderful vacation.

Beautiful getaway

We stayed at this beautiful property for thanksgiving. It was a lovely experience. The cottage is located in a very quiet. serene location right on Muskoka river. We throughly enjoyed the views from the living room and the warmth from the log fire. Greg, was an amazing host. He even let us check out later in the day. I would go back again. Highly recommend this place.

Cottage-mode getaway

Great spot for someone looking for a private waterfront getaway with lots of options for outdoor activities (biking, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, sauna, bonfires) and close enough access to small town Bracebridge with it's quaint downtown and unique shops. Our host was very hospitable and made us feel welcomed and even had a welcome basket waiting for us at arrival! The home was beautiful and very clean and had all the amenities we needed for the week. We were able to relax and enjoyed our week-long getaway. Would highly recommend!!!

Absolutely Picturesque

Our stay was amazing. The fall colors with the water view was unforgettable. The property is very clean, modern and well equipped. We were a little bit concerned about the chilly weather. However, we had no issues at all with heating. The floor heating in the washroom and kitchen was especially nice in the morning. Overall, I definitely would recommend - particularly in the fall!

Serene and Beautiful

It is a beautiful cottage with all the amenities that you could think off (from Barbeques, kayaks, saunas, canoe, internet.. it had everything and more) . Greg was amazing to deal with, he answered all of our inquiries before the check in date promptly. Greg was present when we arrived for check in and gave us a detail tour of the cottage. He was extremely polite and accommodating. We had a blast at this cottage. Thank you Greg for making our stay so much memorable with your beautiful property. We 100% recommend this property to everyone. It is close to the city if you need to go, yet, just far enough to enjoy the wilderness.

Clean and bright cottage getaway!

This cottage is amazing! Greg was very kind and accessible. He also responded to all our questions instantly! Greg met up with us and showed us around the property, we even got to meet Harley (biggest sweetheart!) The property is stunning, and it was more magical in person. Everything is neat and tidy, both outside and inside! It felt like home away from home - the peace and quiet is on another level! There are plenty of activities – our party loved the sauna, paddle board, canoe, and kayak! Waking up to the river glistening with the sun beaming through the whole home was breathtaking! Highly, highly recommend this gem! Thank you for being such an amazing host Greg!

Relaxing getaway

We loved the property and would stay here again. Very quiet and peaceful. This was our 1st time renting a cottage and we were pleasantly surprised with all the amenities that were provided. We 2 people had a fantastic time. The cottage is well stocked with everything needed including toys for kids, etc. We had a canoe, kayak, paddle board, wood for evening fire. Choice of being in the sun or the shade on both the dock and the deck. The spectacular views, very attentive host, made for a relaxing and enjoyable our days. The cottage itself is beautiful, immaculate, and charming, made all the more special by the craftsmanship and detail in its design. Such special memories. I am Still speechless. Thank you Greg.

Relaxing family fun!

We rented this cottage for a small getaway for our family over my sons birthday. When we arrived, it was exactly as the pictures showed- beautiful! The weekend weather was sunny, cloudy and rainy all in one - that’s May for ya! We had plenty to do with canoeing, roasting marshmallows, playing games, watching movies and a couple of cat-naps! Popped out to Bracebridge to pick up some birthday treats with only a 15-20 minute drive. The location is far enough away to feel like a getaway, but close enough when you need something. Greg was extremely helpful with answering any questions I had (or my husband had) and the cottage was perfect! Everything you could possibly need and more. Even the little extras you may have forgotten, it’s there! We had such a great time, I am def coming back!!! Thanks Greg!!

Gorgeous, peaceful Muskoka retreat

This was a wonderful stay for me and my family. Greg was a fantastic host who was very kind, accessible, and helpful. No detail was overlooked. We all felt totally at home. The cottage is gorgeous and the couches and beds are super comfortable. The setting is private and peaceful. The view out the floor to ceiling windows was awesome and even on the one rainy day, we loved being there every minute. There were few boats going by and mostly just a some people in canoes. The canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding were so fun. The river is wonderful for swimming off the dock. We didn’t use the outdoor sauna but it’s gorgeous and we plan to do that next time. The fire pit by the water was awesome at night. Our dog, a little Havanese, lived her best life for 7 days and it was so fun to have her there with us. The drive to Bracebridge is truly 15 minutes and it’s a gorgeous drive through the country. We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to go back! A big thank-you for a perfect stay!

We loved our stay at Muskoka River Retreat!

As soon as we walked in, we knew we were in for a wonderful week. We all said, “Wow!” (really!) The view, the immersion in nature, the solitude, and the soothing atmosphere were just what we were looking for. The cottage had everything we needed – especially in the kitchen – and we took advantage of the patio grill often with food purchased at the local butcher shop/market (the pork slouvaki – yum!.) We took advantage of everything the property and surrounding area had to offer. We started each day with a relaxing sauna and ended most evenings sitting by the outdoor firepit. We used the canoe, paddleboard and kayak during our week – easily paddling upstream. Several times along the way we were greeted by loons and once by a swimming chipmunk! During our stay, we hiked/walked to nearby falls, travelled into Bracebridge, and discovered even more falls to enjoy. We spent a day at Algonquin Provincial Park, well worth the 90-minute drive. We spent other days finding small parks with swimming areas for our water-loving dog along Lake Muskoka and Lake Rosseau shores. We visited several farmer’s markets in the area (the Muskoka River Smoked Trout – more yum!). At night we enjoyed the clear, dark sky and photographed a myriad of stars in the bog area - a short walk down the road. If you’re looking for a getaway in a peaceful, quiet, gorgeous setting - this is the place for you.

Extremely clean and relaxing

My honest review. (Not picky, just honest) Greg was absolutely a gentleman and a gracious host. He greeted us, showed where everything was and left us his number for any questions. Inside is small-ish for 2 adults and 4 kids BUT it was clean and organized. Air conditioning worked beautifully and IF you needed TV/Internet, it was fast. The dock area was nice and the river was picture perfect. As a landscape guru, I could appreciate the hard and soft scape around the whole property. Negatives (hardly any) - Pictures showed a ladder leading up to a loft area but we were told we couldn’t access it and the ladder was taken down…. My son was bummed out because of that. - There’s not a lot of places to go inside for privacy/separation BUT again, it’s not a bad place to be stuck. - Not a lot to do if you get “cabin fever” so we made the drive into town a couple times. I would absolutely recommend this place for a couple with 2 kids OR it’s great if you just want to get away from the city.
