About this property
Beautiful Waterfront cottage at Bird Lake, Muskoka, with long water line
Welcome to this wonderful 1,750 sq.ft. 3 bedroom bungalow cottage on beautiful Bird Lake, known for it’s crystal blue waters. The cottage was built with family and entertainment use in mind.
With the layout of the one level interior being long and sufficiently wide, most rooms face out to the water with stunning views of the lake, with only 2 bedrooms being tucked back into the shaded driveway side. All 3 bedrooms are closed off from the main living area by 2 separate doors, making it ideal for the young ones and early risers to sleep more soundly while the night owls watch movies or TV late into the evening. The lake facing master bedroom has its own bathroom ensuite and sliding glass doors out to a semi-private part of the deck, a fabulous spot to have your morning coffee and take in your peaceful surroundings.
The décor and the furnishings are charmingly country with gorgeous tongue and groove pine cathedral ceilings, skylights and floor to ceiling windows in the great room, making the spacious open-concept kitchen/dining/living room bright yet warm and inviting. Pastel walls, pine trim, dark wood floors, a long harvest dining table and a kitchen complete with an island and hanging pot rack add to the harmonious country style.
The large screened-in Muskoka room is always a bonus, especially on inclement days and during the early summer bug season. You can relax, read, dine and still feel one with nature.
The cottage is on 1.8 acres of well-treed land offering shade on the mainly flat property but plenty of sun on the deck and down on the dock with 245 feet of water frontage. The water is shallow so the kids can play in the lake safely while the adults keep a close eye and lounge on the dock.
The lake is known for good fishing with bass and perch in Bird Lake and on the other side of the road there is Bigwind Lake where you can find more species of fish such as walleye and trout. There is also a canoe and kayak at your disposal to enjoy leisurely paddles on the lake.
End your days barbequing on the expansive deck with your favourite beverage in hand and dine at the lake facing harvest dining room table while taking in the serene views. No cottage day is complete without a camp fire and roasting marshmallows while sharing your days adventures. So, what are you waiting for?!
**Kindly be aware that the cottage is available for weekly rental only, for the period from June 29, 2024 to August 31, 2024.

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful cottage. It was very clean when we arrived, and is very well equipped with everything you need.We love that it is pet friendly - our dogs loved it there!The host was always very responsive to any questions we had.
What an sensational time we had at the cottage; the set up is perfect for the ones seeking to connect with nature and enjoy peace and quiet; the cottage is beautiful and have a great layout;
The house wasn’t as clean as I would like upon arrival, and the grass around the fire pit was too tall ,but Jennifer promptly responded to our message and had someone coming by the house in 20 minutes.
Property was exactly what I was looking for. My 91 year old aunt had easy accessibility everywhere with her walker. She could catch some sun on the huge deck and view the lake from inside or out.
Standing at the kitchen sink looking out at the lake makes kitchen work a lit more appealing. Super quiet and peaceful. This location perfect for any age had everything you could need. Excellent for kids of any age lots of entertainment. Would stay here again. Loved it
The cottage itself is amazing. Overlooking Bird Lake with wonderful bedrooms, a great kitchen, a spacious dining room table, a large common room, plus deck, plus “muskoka room,” two canoes, two adult kayaks, one kid kayak, dock, firepit, and a small beach that’s safe to play in.
We were looking for a cottage for the family. We have grandkids 4 and 6 and we wanted a place that was fun for them. This was a splendid choice. The kids loved the boating and swimming, and Bird Lake is a great choice for that. My son also wanted a great place for fishing. He, his brother, and I each caught a good sized bass (which we let go back) plus there were a few other “on and offs” that I should’ve landed. The table for dinner was large enough to seat everyone, plus more. Two couches, and a large TV to relax. And the beds were extremely comfortable and great to sleep in.
The fire pit is a good one, down near the water. It has a cover. Bonus. Plus Muskoka chairs.
There is a dishwasher in the kitchen. Bonus. And a fireplace in the common room if it gets chilly.
There is a negative, but not a huge one. The water pressure is not very good. Just plan to live with that one. Laundry can take a while. A shower might be a little to be desired. But again, not a bit one.
All in all it’s a fabulous place.
Lovely cottage, well-equipped, on a beautiful quiet lake. We particulaly e joed the use of the kayaks and canoes, and the fact that the corridor to the bedrooms had doors to reduce noise for those sleeping late
This cottage was perfect for our family of 6 and our little dog. Some of the things we loved: - Cottage was all on one level. - Bedroom 'wing' could be closed off completely - great for keeping the few bugs out, and keeping it cool. - Lots of things to do - puzzles, games, books. - the lake was a perfect temp for swimming - even in June.- the screened in porch was such a great place to spend time!- the floorplan was perfect - we kept saying this is the perfect home layout!We really enjoyed our week here, and will look it up again if we're planning another trip to the Muskokas!
The cottage was clean and had a nice layout on a beautiful lake.
The back deck was extremely slippery when wet. I would suggest a carpet or somehow removing the algae?
The week we stayed it rained almost everyday (we had lots of games to play inside on the large dining table!), which made for a sloppy walk to the dock and almost sitting in the lake when trying to have a bonfire. Not a big deal but it did make things a bit difficult to walk around.
