All day Sun! Spacious 7-Bd. Lakefront Retreat, Walk to Bala's Shops & Eateries

Experience Traditional Charm at our Sunny Lakeside Retreat

Nestled on the serene shores of Long Lake, our Sunny Lakeside Cottage (“The Cottage”) offers a quintessentially classic retreat with over one hundred feet of private lake frontage and a sandy beach. This idyllic property comfortably accommodates up to 16 guests across 7 bedrooms, making it perfect for large gatherings.

Located just five minutes from Bala, a historic town known for the vibrant Cranberry Festival, our spacious cottage combines tranquil lake views with easy access to local shops and eateries—the ice cream shop is always worth a visit! The Cottage itself, steeped in tradition, features expansive windows that frame wonderful waterfront scenes.

The heart of The Cottage is the open-concept living room, dining room, and kitchen, illuminated by natural light from large widows and skylights and complemented by a wood-burning fireplace. The well-equipped kitchen features a four-seat island, while the adjoining dining area boasts a long harvest table suitable for twelve.

Enjoy all-day sun from a property that faces south/southwest. Although you can't see the sunset, the sunny, sandy beach and waterfront provide a perfect backdrop for relaxation and activities. The Cottage offers two areas for lounging—the cozy living room and a games room equipped with air hockey and ping-pong.

Outdoor amenities include a BBQ, a fire pit for evening gatherings, and a high-speed internet connection (currently Bell Wireless Home Internet 50, with an upgrade to Starlink on the way). This upgrade will continue to support unlimited high-speed internet ideal for Zoom calls—a rare find in cottage country.

With a variety of watercraft available, there is something for every level of paddler to enjoy. The waterfront features a sizable, two-piece dock, and the lake remains quiet with minimal motorized boat traffic, ideal for peaceful outings.

Set in a cul-de-sac on a peninsula, The Cottage enjoys minimal road noise, enhancing its peaceful, rustic yet comfortable setting. Whether you're looking for adventure on the water or a quiet spot to relax, time at The Cottage is sure to be memorable for friends and family.

The cottage was perfect for our family reunion. Big enough for 11 adults and two children. The floor plan is spacious, so we never felt cramped. Some things in the house are a bit old, but still functional. We found the furnishings tasteful and harmonious. The kitchen equipment is sufficient even for a large group. There were also more than enough seating options. There are many watercrafts, both for children and adults. We had a great time, surrounded by nature. Communication with the owner was easy. The property is only partially suitable for people with mobility problems. There is a long staircase into the backyard, which is sloping. There are also many stairs in the house. We couldn't get enough of the view of the lake, which is exactly as shown in the photos. Simply gorgeous! We had a perfect week in this cottage.

We had a wonderful week in a lovely cottage. All my family was there, so it was very nice. We were 12 people and we were never on top of each other Very well equipped! Eugenia, owner was lovely, very helpful and always available! We loved being close to the water and they had tons of water equipment to keep us more than entertained for the week. Would stay here again.

An Icy Chipmunk Adventure Not what you’d expect from a lakeshore rental in fabulous Muskoka. This four story lakehouse gave us a surreal experience. As we read the home welcome binder, which was very elaborate and complete with useful information and strict fee guidelines, we started to realize our stay would have some inconvenient yet not minor caveats. This pricey vacation home came with unexpected guests. Since the moment we set foot in the house our would be roomate chipmunck friends had gifted us with plenty poop right on the kitchen island and countertop. We cleaned up an made sure no food was left outside the fridge during the rest of our stay. That did not stop our furry little guests to make multiple appearances. Some of the most notorious were when their curiosity peaked next to the crib of an 10-month old baby and left some precisely targeted defecation atop the baby’s clothes and bibs, when inside a different room they bit through a suitcase to get to a gift wrapped box of chocolates and finally when they showed up on gamenight to taste some snacks while all the human guests were gathered at the table. To say the least, the house was not clean, not for our vacation dates and probably not since the 80’s. The grill was unusuable, greasy and with recently cooked meat. We found cat hairs under a few beds, 80% of the house floors, walls and rails were suspiciously sticky. You could not walk on stealth mode as floors made dirty music as we moved from one side of

Cottage is a tad rustic but is plenty large for our family reunion. The lower cottage is attached to the main cottage which allows for people to spread out. Plenty of bathrooms which was awesome too. Waterfront with a southwest view makes for long afternoons on the water. They also provided us with ample water recreation toys… paddle boards, kayaks and canoes. We really enjoyed our stay and would consider visiting again. Thanks for the hospitality.

Property is beautiful and in a great location. Plenty of things to do on and off the property. Eugenia was a great host and available if needed. Our only small complaints comes with hesitation as we had a great time. Some cleanliness issues that really should be looked after, dog hair on couches, some beds were comfortable, others were not. Sliding door to deck needs work. Septic? It is a big property to look after and these are only suggestions. Thank you for making my Mom's 90th very memorable. Cheers.

We are already planning our stay for next year! We had family and friends join us for our far too short stay…it was a great cottage with lots of fun toys for the kids and the perfect setting for the adults to just hang out. We had a great time-kid, adult and dog friendly!

We had a great time at the cottage. There was plenty of rooms for everyone to spread out. You did not feel crammed in at all - enough bedrooms for everyone, a great basement area with pool table and air hockey - great getaway for the teens. The cottage was exactly as pictured / described in the listing. The host, Eugenia, was amazing to work with - very responsive and helpful. We would definitely book this cottage again.

Beautiful cottage very large.and spacious! Good for two families. Beautiful lake view and great water amenities. However the cleaner need to focus on cleaning under the beds and removing thick spider webs from windows(inside and out ) ceilings, bedrooms, doors, and chairs.

The cottage was perfect for my 4 adult kids, their spouses and 1 toddler. Everyone could spread out and not be ontop of one another. We loved the water toys, sandy beach and easy access to the water was a huge bonus. I’d like to suggest adding the fact that there was a crib set up for use. We dismantled ours and brought it up but didn’t need to. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and cookware. Would rent again in a heartbeat. Loved our week.

This is a great cottage for a big family! Lots of comfortable beds and full bathrooms. Nice location on Long Lake with sandy shoreline. Easy walking distance into Bala for food, LCBO, a latte at Oliver's or baked goods from Don's Bakery. Host is exceptionally accommodating and responsive - thank you for a wonderful family cottage vacation!

The lakefront is excellent. Lots of boats, loungers, seating and shallow entry into clear lake! A lot of bedrooms and bathrooms in the basement and new addition compensate for the dated kitchen and main floor. Refrigerator and kitchen cabinets need a major update - as does main floor seating/couches/cleanliness. Thankfully great weather so minimal time spent indoors! Pool table and Air Hockey a great way to kill time! Property owner very responsive and made the process stress free with plenty of information and quick responses.

There is a lot to like about this property. The cottage consists of 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms that are spread out which allows families to not feel as though you are on top of one another. If you want to step away for some alone time, there was space to do so inside and outside. The main living space, Kitchen and dining room table are large enough for everyone to feel comfortable, which is nice if the weather is not the greatest, add in the spacious lower level which has an air hockey table and small pool table, and you should be able to have a great time. For those that enjoy television, that option is available as well, however I cannot comment on whether the satellite channels work as we only used it so the kids could watch netflix childrens shows. Outside, which is probably why you would want to go was fantastic. The main cottage is higher up and thus has a very nice view of the lake. The walk down to the dock and water is grassy which makes it nice for some lawn games, although there is a decent slope for most of the lawn. What we found amazing for our group was 1) the walkout beach on both sides of the dock, which is rare for cottages in this area. This allowed our baby and 3 year old to enjoy the water as everyone else did. and 2) the watercraft. The cottage is stocked with a number of different watercraft (SUP, Canoe, Kayaks, Paddleboat) for all members of the family to enjoy. Also, not sure if it was due to a hotter month, or if the lake is secretly shallow (you would never know by looking), but the water was unbelievably warm compared to what I have experienced with Muskoka lakes. Not that it was a bother for us, but if you are looking for privacy, then keep in mind that the neighbouring cottages and more noticeably the neighbouring docks are very close. Due to the location of the cottage, this is normal and should not be a surprise for anyone. Location is also fantastic as its a short 2-5 min drive into Bala, or a 25 min walk in case you needed to get more groceries/drinks. The Cottage itself is a little on the dated side and could use a little TLC in some areas, plus some attention to detail with respect cleaning, but that may just be a personal preference. Nothing that should stop you from considering this for a family vacation. All in all, a great place to spend a week away from normal city life.

This unassuming cottage from the outside, was a delightful surprise inside: Clean, very spacious, and fully equipped with a homey ambience. We enjoyed the waterfront area and had access to lots of leisure equipment. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. Great for a large family and only a kilometre from downtown Bala which was a bonus!!
