Welcome to your much needed escape at: ~~~Muskoka Riverside Escape!~~~ The main room of cottage has an open and cozy feel. Nestle by the fireplace or enjoy watching a movie in the living room. DVD's and VHS's are provided for your entertainment. Board games are located inside the bench seating of the breakfast nook, along with children's activity/ coloring books in the living room console table.
Dining room consists of an open concept breakfast nook suitable for 6 guests.
Kitchen has all the essential amenities including a stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, kettle and Keurig machine with coffee and tea provided.
Directly off the main area are 3 beautiful bedrooms. One bedroom with a classic wooden bunk bed, and two bedrooms with queen sized beds equipped with large closets.
The washroom has your main essentials including shower, toilet, and sink with towels/shampoo/conditioner/soap provided.
There are two walk outs onto the main deck with a stunning view of the Muskoka River. BBQ located on deck. Directly down the stairs lands a private lawn sloping down to the firepit, cedar barrel sauna, picnic table and water front. Full access to water toys (1 canoe, 2 pedal boats and a paddle board).
The terrain down to the waterfront may not be suitable for young children and we highly suggest supervision. Please note: Waterfront is shallow and rocky at the land edge and deep off the dock (approx. 20 feet). Water toys will be pulled out of water in the Fall to prepare for snow fall.
2 Igloos: Your little ones can have fun in the snow while you are relaxing in our sauna! Your kiddos can have hours of fun either playing in these structures as is, or putting layers of snow on top!
Have an E- Vehicle? No problem! We have a Tesla universal wall connector. It can charge any EV (NACS and SAE J1772 connectors). Let us pay for your drive here!
~~~Other things to note~~~
-In an effort to maintain a secure premises, the cottage is equipped with 1 exterior camera. This camera records 24/7. The camera is ONLY on the exterior facing the driveway and there are no cameras on the inside.
- The cottage is a cozy bungalow that is approx. 800 sq. ft.
-We have a small hot water tank, so we recommend minimizing the use of hot water during winter months and while the dishwasher is running.
-We have potable water- A UV/ sediment filtration system is in place.
-We are surrounded by beautiful large trees, but this means our wifi is quite spotty. Not suggested to those who are needing to work remotely as the internet is not reliable (but better than nothing)!
-Lifejackets we supply: 2 large, 2 medium, 2 small adult sized, 2 childrens size and 1 baby size. Dog Life Jackets: 1 small, 1 medium, 1 large. Please bring whatever other safety equipment you may be needing for your relaxing stay!
-Paddle for paddle board is located under the stairs by the lifejackets along with boat essentials kit to be brought on all boat outings :)
-Lawn maintenance arrives every other Thursday/Friday
>Mosquito/Fly treatment sprayed every 3 weeks- This usually takes 20 minutes, please allow maintenance crew access to yard
-The cottage road is maintained by the township and the driveway is maintained by a private contractor but we still recommend snow tires and/or all wheel drive for the area. The contractor will only provide snow removal services to the driveway as to give you the most privacy possible. Some light snow clearing may be necessary during your stay for the deck/sauna, and we provide a shovel for your use :)
>>>Black Fly/Cluster Fly Season in all of Muskoka:
-Mid May- End of June
-There is no way for us to predict when these flies will come and for how long, it depends on the weather and how fast the spring run off dries up.
-We recommend wearing a long sleeved shirt, pants and a hat to avoid black fly bites. We do leave bug spray, after bite and bug jackets for your use inside the cottage, we also spray the property for Mosquitoes and flies regularly. Please dress and prepare accordingly as these sprays tend not to work with black flies (this applies to the entire Muskoka Region)

REVIEWS | | Michelle |  |
| We recently returned from our 5 night stay at Muskoka Riverside Escape. It was perfect! It was exactly like the pictures. I have nothing but positive things to say, it was impeccable clean, even the exterior. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, more then enough games and activities for our whole family. The fishing was fantastic, many fish caught from the dock and many more out on the river. It is the first time in over a decade of renting cottages that we all agreed that we would love to return next summer or even visit during another season. The attention to every detail was unbelievable. Thank you to Heather and her team for sharing this gem with us and we look forward to our next stay.

| We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Riverside Escape. The cottage was very clean, recently updated, well outfitted and most importantly we found it to be very comfy and cozy. We liked the easy access to the river from the dock and enjoyed some lengthy paddles down the Muskoka river. After our canoe trips it was so relaxing to come back and sit by the fire and enjoy the outdoor sauna. We would definitely stay here again.
