About this property

Waterfront Muskoka Cottage | Hot Tub, Fire Pit, BBQ and Canoes

  • Create unforgettable family memories at River’s Edge Muskoka. Kids will love the sandy beach entry, calm shallow water, canoes and wide-open lawn while parents relax by the fire or on the dock. The bright, open cottage is comfortable in every season and designed for easy family time together. Peaceful, private and just minutes from Bracebridge, Santa’s Village and top Muskoka attractions. This is the kind of place families fall in love with and return to again and again.
