Enjoyed our stay
Cottage was as advertised. An older cottage with modern touches, not fancy, but very functional. Queen bed could use a new mattress a it was soft and a bit lumpy but twins were ok. We enjoyed our stay.

Charming & Bright Muskoka Bay
The cottage is very nice but somewhat small. Beatrice is a very nice host and she looks after any problem you may have at the time. The beach and swimming area are very nice as well. The dock is great and it might be the largest in the Gravenhurst area.

Lovely rustic cottage
Lovely rustic cottage with good swimming and a shady beach for young kids. Excellent location, close to Gravenhurst. Use of kayaks and paddle boards added to enjoyment of lake. Only rating four stars as cottage had a number of cobwebs and view of lake from cottage was obstructed by two boathouses which wasn’t clear from listing. Overall would recommend. Thanks for a nice cottage weekend.

Cozy Cove
Our third summer in a row. Stayed for two weeks. Just the right location to sit by the lake to swim, boat, paddleboard or read(with a drink of course) The family very much enjoys going here!

Muskoka Vacation
This was an enjoyable week of relaxation that met all our expectations. The host, Beatrice, was wonderful in promptly helping us out with some items we'd forgotten. Our pets, Texas the cat and Tigger the Husky were also very pleased and relaxed and thoroughly entertained by the comings and goings of chipmunks. Except for one late afternoon, the weather was cooperative. The property is readily accessible to Gravenhurst for shopping and touring and is one we will likely consider for a return week.

Muskoka stay
Our family spent three days at this cottage. The owner is lovely, helpful, accommodating and is very open to answer all your questions .The waterfront was beautiful, with a shallow sand entry and at the end of the boat house deep water for swimming. Beautiful location and the lake was stunning. The cotragw was the right size for us. The cottage is a rustic cottage for those of you looking for the rustic cottage feel. For those with a fancier style this may not be for you . Thank you for the memories! We had a great time. Tracy

Great place for the family to get together and relax for a few days. Lots of fun on the water with kayaks and pedal boat and fishing from the dock. Lake was great and the weather was good.

The perfect little bay on Lake Muskoka
We thoroughly enjoyed out stay. The cottage was exceptionally clean. It has everything you need plus additions of kayaks, paddleboat. The walk in beach area is exceptionally rare in the Muskokas and would be perfect for little children. Thank you Beatrice for being a perfect host and now a friend.

Lake Muskoka Cottage Rental
The overall experience was good. The cottage was pretty much as described. It was clean and the owner was there to welcome us and was quickly there to respond to our questions. The lake was beautiful. Only criticisms would be the washroom was small and access to the dock a little difficult.

Great experience , super friendly and responsive host. Despite the iffy weather we enjoyed the quiet bay and our nieces loved the little sandy beach. Bring all your towels / sheets / food / water / TP / OFF for mosquitoes and the cottage has everything else including nice beds and hot shower and kayaks ! Highly recommend for 2 couples or small family . Would return!

Wonderful place for a family vacation.
I rented this cottage with my daughter and her family including a five year old. We had a lovely time. The property is perfect for younger children with a sallow beach area. The host is responsive, helpful, and very pleasant. I would book again without hesitation.

Paradise at Parker's Point
We had a lovely stay at the cottage. We had a lovely gift basket waiting for us on the counter. Which we surely enjoyed. Beatrice was there to great us and if there was a problem, which there was not, she was a text away. We will be renting again, as there is a small beach area for the grandbabies and a nice three sided dock around the boat house to sit .

Lovely cottage for a family getaway
My family and I have a lovely time at the cottage. Having a BBQ on site was very helpful and we enjoyed being able to take the paddle boat out. Bring situated on a bay of the lake was great for keeping boat traffic down and offering a bit more privacy. We would definitely look to rent there again.

Beautiful spot on Lake Muskoka
Peaceful property with pretty scenery. We loved the kayaking. Beatrice very responsive to our queries. Needs new bed and curtains in master bedroom. Steep but drivable hill down to cottage from main road. Loved seeing the Winona cruise by.

The cottage was everything it said it would be. Very private. It’s rustic but what you need is there
Very easy to ask questions and the response was very quick. Brought my own boat and was accommodated as well as a second small boat. The owner had items we could use to enjoy the lake. Very nice experience. We hope to go again next year if she will have us.

About the host

Hosted by Beatrice Edmonds

Host profile image
Hi and welcome,
My name is Beatrice and my family and I would like to invite you to spend some time at our cozy Muskoka cottage. We have spent the last 22 years on Lake Muskoka and think it is the best place on earth. If you need anything during your stay, feel free to give me a call. I love sharing my favourite places and recommendations with my guests to ensure they enjoy everything Muskoka has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This cottage has something for everyone! It has a shallow sandy beach for kids, dock for sunbathing, deeper water for swimming, BBQ on the deck and comfortable interior. My family and I renovated it top to bottom so everything is clean and fresh! The open concept layout is great when the family is inside and the cozy stone fireplace adds charm to the space. Kids, pets, all are welcome!
