About this property
Bright & Modern 4 bdrm cottage on Lake Joe! Boatport + Bunkie! All Day Sun!
BIRD'S NEST
AREA
Bird's Nest is located in Robert's Bay on the shores of Lake Joseph. Conveniently located within a 15-minute drive from Bala and Port Carling, Bird's Nest is situated in the heart of Muskoka! For general store needs, this cottage is less than a 5-minute car/boat ride to Foots Bay Marina.
PROPERTY
BIRD'S NEST, a sloped pebbled walkway leads guests to Bird's Nest. Nestled amongst mature trees, this beautiful cottage experiences south-west exposure and all day sun. Inspired by its namesake, the large circular deck off the dining room is a guest favourite when it comes to summertime entertaining. Outfitted with glass railings, guests can experience elevated unfettered views of Lake Joe while enjoying their morning coffee. Furnished with a 6 person outdoor dining room table and large sun umbrella, this outdoor space does not disappoint! A stone staircase from the cottage deck leads you along a stone pathway to the south facing waterfront. Perfect for guests with young children, the shoreline boasts a shallow sand bottom beach area. The waterfront is also home to a one slip boat port and large deck. Equipped with four Muskoka chairs, two lounges, and a small 3 person bistro set, the sundeck provides a secondary entertaining space for days spent near the water. Located slightly above the shoreline, a small traditional bunkie can be seen not far from the cottage just off the deck.

About the host
Hosted by Jayne McCaw
Jayne McCaw, has been involved in luxury cottage rentals in Muskoka for the last 5 years and recently launched Jayne's Cottages in 2014.
A message from Jayne, Owner of Jayne's Cottages:
As a child, I grew up with the sandy beach of Lake Huron in my backyard. I went to university and settled in Toronto with my family and made my living selling computer software. I starting visiting Muskoka in the summertime and fell in love with the peacefulness and natural beauty of the surroundings. Shortly thereafter we bought a cottage, which was quite an investment, but my family has never regretted it!
Working full time however only allowed my family a 2 week vacation, so we all agreed that we would rent to cover our property expenses and to afford to take exotic family trips overseas. Renting our cottage has allowed my family to experience other special places, like Provence and Tuscany.
Despite the alarming storms that can rush in, Muskoka has a certain “joie de vivre” about it. Blue skies, gorgeous lakes, quaint villages and sunshine nearly everyday certainly helps keep a smile on everyone’s face. Over our years in Muskoka, I have met charming people who have also fallen in love with this magical part of Ontario and who have purchased beautiful cottage properties that they visit frequently. While they are away from Muskoka, I take excellent care of their homes and host their visitors who come from all over the world to enjoy this beautifully scenic Canadian location that is especially close to my heart.
My goal with Jayne’s Cottages is to help both the cottage owner and our vacationing guests make the most of their Muskoka experience. I would love to help you too! Please be in touch!
