Sharing this special part of Muskoka and helping guests enjoy a relaxed, memorable stay is what we love most about hosting. We’re always happy to assist and look forward to welcoming you to River’s Edge Muskoka.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for its rare balance of peace, privacy, and easy access to Muskoka’s best experiences. Set along a quiet stretch of the Muskoka River, the area feels calm and uncrowded, with nature all around and very little traffic. It’s the kind of place where you can hear the water, watch wildlife, and truly slow down. What we love most is that while the setting feels tucked away and serene, Bracebridge is just minutes away, making it easy to grab groceries, enjoy local cafés, or explore nearby attractions. Huntsville, Deerhurst Resort, Hidden Valley, waterfalls, trails, and Lake Muskoka are all within easy driving distance, so guests can explore during the day and return to a peaceful riverside setting in the evening. It’s a neighborhood that offers the best of Muskoka - quiet mornings, active days, and relaxed nights by the water.
What makes this property unique
Outdoor living is a highlight at River’s Edge Muskoka. The property is thoughtfully set up to enjoy time outside from morning through evening in every season.
Prepare meals on the BBQ and enjoy relaxed outdoor dining with views of the river and surrounding forest. Just steps from the water, the screened-in gazebo offers a peaceful, bug-free space to read, share meals, or unwind while staying connected to nature. It’s a favorite spot for morning coffee and quiet evenings by the river.
As the day winds down, gather around the firepit and enjoy cozy evenings under the stars. With comfortable seating and a calm setting, it’s the perfect place to relax, connect, and enjoy classic Muskoka nights.
These outdoor spaces are designed to be easy, comfortable, and welcoming whether you’re spending a full day outside or simply enjoying a quiet evening by the water.
