A Place to Gather, A Space to Be.....
Relax, breathe, and reconnect with nature.
From the serene flow of the water to the lively chorus of ducks, geese, and birds in their natural habitat, peace and tranquility are woven into the very fabric of The River House. This is a space where you can gather with loved ones, or enjoy a quiet moment of solitude by the water's edge.
Summer Bliss In the warmer months, The River House transforms into an outdoor haven. Explore the river by canoe, kayak, or paddleboard, or venture out for thrilling adventures with boating, jet skiing, and tubing along the river and out to the Bay. If you prefer a slower pace, swing in the hammock with your favorite book or relax by the riverside in a lounge chair, soaking up the sun. A short 5 minute walk to the longest fresh water beach in the world.
As evening falls, the grounds light up on a timed system, casting a soft glow across the property. The outdoor fire pit is the perfect place to gather, where ten comfortable Muskoka chairs encircle the flames. Enjoy complimentary firewood, and wrap yourself in cozy blankets or faux sheepskin seat covers for extra warmth and comfort. Adjacent to the fire pit, enjoy a friendly game of shuffleboard, adding fun and friendly competition to your evening outdoors.
For those who love ambiance, the music sound system connects to your streaming music service and is adaptable to specific rooms and outdoor spaces.
