About this property

The Water’s Edge * * Unique Muskoka Treehouse * *

  • Perched above sparkling waters and nestled in the treetops, this rustic-luxury retreat offers a truly rare Muskoka experience. Unwind on the floating hammock net, cozy up by the double-sided indoor/outdoor fireplace, and dive into lake life from your private dock—perfect for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, or stand-up paddleboarding.

    Wake up to golden sunrises through the forest canopy. Fall asleep to the gentle lapping of waves. It’s just you, the water, and the wilderness.

    The Space

    One of the few cottages grandfathered right on the lake’s edge, this cozy gem blends craftsmanship with nature. It features:

    A newly renovated, beautifully styled interior

    Two connected bunkie rooms plus a hidden A-frame loft (ladder access)

    A spacious dock and new waterfront deck

    Panoramic lake views and total seclusion

    Note: The cottage is intentionally compact and best suited for families or small groups of nature lovers. There’s one bathroom and an 8-person max, which may be tight for 8 adults.

    Good to Know

    Remote setting with a hilly gravel access road

    Not ideal for hiking on-property due to steep terrain, but nearby trails abound

    Quiet community: Please respect noise bylaws (no outdoor music after 11 PM)

    Brand new renovation completed this spring

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a lovely stay at The Water Edge. The owner is incredibly kind and responsive, and the property itself is absolutely gorgeous — cozy, clean, and set in a beautiful location that really lives up to the name.One important thing to note for anyone visiting in the winter: the road leading into the cottage is not ploughed. Between our three vehicles, we got stuck four separate times, and I had to call CAA twice to get us out. It was a stressful experience that definitely impacted our trip.I would strongly recommend having an all-wheel-drive vehicle during winter conditions. This wasn’t mentioned on the website, and it would be very helpful for future guests to know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.Overall, a beautiful place with a wonderful owner — just be prepared if you’re visiting in the winter.
