We were able to find this gem, 5 minutes away from a wedding we were attending. The cottage is clean and new, bedding included. There are it board games, and Avery nice area/dock in a clean river. I do need to say to bring extra garbage bags as we found no extras.

Beautiful home!! Very clean and spacious..the open concept allowed us all to be together, even while cooking. Beds were comfortable, comforters were warm! Loved sitting outside on the huge deck, especially watching the stars at night. We were there for 4 days, the weather was rainy except for our last day there, we took advantage of the sunny day and enjoyed swimming, fishing and canoeing on the beautiful river!

RELAXED IN MUSKOKA

This property was beautiful and the house was so clean!!! The kids loved the small little beach and thought the paddle boat was fun! We visited late October, so we cuddled around the fire and made campfire bread during the day. Exploring the town of Bracebridge was great. We cooked up a storm in the awesome kitchen. Walks along the quiet road were rejuvenating. Spotted a snowy owl. Book your stay here, you won’t regret it. 🙌

Truly home away from home!

My family and I had a one of a kind travel expaerience at Rivers Edge. If you are looking for a remote, quite and truley serene family centred vacation get away, look no futher than Rivers Edge! Our host, Germila, was wonderful. She communicated quickly and provided great suggestions on activites and best practices during our visit. It truly felt like we were home. Everything was exaclty as advertised, including the clininess* and location of all amenities. Our toddlers felt right at home with a selction of toys and games, including one toddler table and chair in the living room and kids room. We truly wanted for nothing during our stay. We saw a few reviews about the location of the camera outside the front entrance, but we truly valued the added security with the location of the property; besides, if you arent planning to do anything facetious or outside of the code of conduct, there really isnt anything to worry about. I value peace, which was easily accomplished during our stay. We were also mindful that this is someone's home. Book, relax, enjoy (before we book again). Thank us later! The Mclean's

A relaxing weekend in a great place!

We loved everything about this place, but what we loved the most was how clean it was when we got there! Spotless! We had a lovely stay with our family! The kids loved everything and didn't want to leave! From fun moments while canoeing to a relaxing experience admiring nature! Also the property managers were very friendly, kind and helpful with every request we had. Overall a great experience and a place we will come back to!

Nice long weekend getaway!

We generally had a great visit and really appreciated the cleanliness of the property on arrival, the full-stocked kitchen and recreational supplies (including the kids stuff!) and the host's quick response time. The property was well-maintained and the dock/waterfront was quite nice. We have two small constructive criticisms: The first is that we did not appreciate the the cleaning service waiting at the end of the driveway for us to leave the cottage around 5-10 minutes before the check-out time of 11 AM. We felt rushed to get out of there despite being prepared to leave on time. While I understand the need to promptly turnover the cottage for the next guests during busy season, a grace period of 5-10 minutes would've been appreciated. The second criticism is that we noticed a solar-powered Ring camera mounted on a tree adjacent to the cottage. While I understand the need to be able to monitor check-in/out, guests present, safety emergencies, etc., we value our family's privacy and thus it would've been nice to have been informed in advance (either in the Welcome Package or the rental contract) of the camera's presence and uses. Other than that the property, stay and the host's hospitality was fabulous. Certainly deserving of 4.5-5 stars.

Everything you need

We had a great time at this place, despite incessant rain throughout the weekend we stayed here. The house is gorgeous - brand-new and has all facilities one would want in a vacation rental. Access to the river and outdoor seating area is easy, just across the road. Plenty of toys, board games and TV for entertainment. Internet works OK, with a few outages but who cares - its a vacation! The complementary wine is definitely appreciated, but what would take the hospitality one notch up is if some basic necessities like towels and ice trays in the freezer were included with the stay. Not a big deal though, we brought our own towels!

This property was exactly as advertised. We were impressed with everything about it. It was well stocked. Appreciated that there was salt, pepper, sugar, paper towel and toilet paper. Beds were comfortable. Kids enjoyed the toys in the cottage and at the riverfront. The dock and riverfront were a great place to hang out on this glorious fall weekend. The kids loved digging in the sand and made clay pots from the clay in the sand. Owners were a treat to communicate with.

Make sure you look over the entire property upon arrival...

Overall, a good visit to the area.. the house was nice and comfy. Upon arrival, I entered and noticed the couch was damaged. Having heard nothing from the owner about the back of the couch being smashed in, I sent her photos of the damage, to which she apologized for not telling me sooner... The next day, we decided to try out the stand up paddle board, kayaks, and canoe. The unit these were stored on was made of 2x4 with no cover/overhang. Sliding the canoe out, the 2x4 split. Further, one of the guests went to sit in the canoe and the seat collapsed under him, injuring his thigh. Another guest tried a white adult stand-up paddle board, upon placing it on the water, stepping onto the board, and falling off (the board flipped) we noticed the entire bottom of the board was cracked and disi terraced (from the inside - see image of sun damage to core). I reported the issues to the owner as early as I could the next day. The owner stated the board was in good shape when they tried it last, and proceeded to bill me for a brand new board, meanwhile the age, use, and lack of proper storage caused the board to fall apart. $542 for a replacement added to my credit card?? ...anyone who stays here, I highly recommend scoping through the entire property before settling in... this host is looking for opportunities to have her guests pay for brand new replacements of old, abused, and neglected items on their property.

Relaxing stay

We had a wonderful time at the River's Edge. The cottage felt spacious, clean and modern and was perfect for our family of 4 - though you could easily accommodate more guests. You could tell the owners put a lot of thought into what guests will need to enjoy their stay. We loved the cottage and also the location on the river - we enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming every day of our stay. Overall we had a fantastic week and will definitely be booking again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
