The Willow | Lakefront Cottage | Muskoka

Summary:
The Willow is a peaceful waterfront cottage tucked away in the heart of Muskoka. Designed for slow mornings and sunset views, this thoughtfully styled retreat offers cozy interiors, a fully equipped kitchen, and direct lake access. Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a family getaway, or solo rest — The Willow is your calm corner of cottage country.

The Space:
The Willow features three beautifully appointed bedrooms — plus an adorable bunkie for additional guests— perfect for couples, families, or close friends. The open-concept kitchen and living area offers plenty of space to relax, with large windows overlooking the lake. Outside, enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, take a dip off the private dock, or unwind by the firepit as the sun sets over the water.

The Neighborhood:
Located just minutes from downtown Bracebridge, The Willow blends natural beauty with small-town charm. Explore local shops, hiking trails, and Muskoka’s iconic scenery — or simply relax and soak in the lakeside tranquility.

Other Things to Note:
Please note that access to the lake involves a number of stairs and a rocky shoreline, so care is encouraged. There’s a spacious parking area, and guests can use the small bridge to reach the cottage — complete with a wagon to help carry your belongings. For your enjoyment, we’ve included lawn chairs, loungers, canoes, kayaks, a paddleboard, foam dock, and floaties to make the most of your time on the water.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. The cottage also includes a coffee maker.

Reunion with friends

Stayed at this property for a weekend with a bunch of friends. Comfortably slept nine of us. Best feature is the dock/waterfront in general. Really large dock, great for hanging out.
