About this property
Family Cottage on beautiful Moon River, Bala, Muskoka
Welcome to your perfect Muskoka getaway!
Our cozy, family-friendly cottage is designed for relaxation, connection, and creating lasting memories—not for large parties or rowdy gatherings. With 5 comfortable bedrooms and a spacious loft (Great for the kids, complete with movies, games, foosball, and air hockey), adults can enjoy peaceful conversations in the Great Room while the little ones have their own space to play.
Outside, you’ll find 200 feet of stunning granite shoreline with a small natural sandy area—perfect for launching a canoe or kayak. The westerly exposure means you’ll enjoy sun on the dock from morning to night, with breathtaking sunsets to close out your day. Our large 24’ x 16’ dock, with 12 feet of water depth at the end, is ideal for swimming, docking boats, or simply lounging. A gentle 5-step ladder makes getting in and out of the water easy for all ages.
For your enjoyment, we provide three kayaks, a canoe, and—on request—a lily pad for endless water fun. Evenings are magical here, with a waterfront fire pit that’s perfect for roasting marshmallows and cozying up under the stars.
The back of the property features forest and gardens, creating a peaceful, private retreat away from the road. While weekends bring a lively buzz to the water, weekdays are wonderfully calm—making that morning coffee on the dock even more special.
You’re just a short walk from Bala’s charm—The Kee to Bala concert venue, restaurants, the LCBO, an ice cream shop, and local boutiques are all within 5–10 minutes on foot. Port Carling, only 15 minutes away by car, offers fantastic shopping, Turtle Jack’s waterfront dining, and the famous boat locks—always a hit with the kids.
If you’re looking for a private, welcoming Muskoka escape to slow down, soak up the sun, and enjoy lakeside living, our cottage is ready to host your next unforgettable getaway.

We really enjoyed staying at Drew's place. It is great for larger groups and families and Drew was helpful and friendly in answering any questions. We would love to return!
Our family had a wonderful time at this beautiful cottage, perfectly located on Moon River, and a short walk to into Bala. Drew was an excellent host - very friendly and helpful.The grounds and dock area alllowed our grandchildren to enjoy all that Moon River has to offer.Highly recommended!
We had a family gathering of seven over 3 nights. Our arrival went very smoothly and we entered into a lovely home with great views of the Moon River. The house was spotless, and well equipped for all of our needs, including ample seating in the great room.The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable.The water had easy access to it via a sandy shoreline as well as from the dock, where you could safely dive off from.Overall, it was a wonderful experience.Thanks to Drew as well, for his quick responses to any questions that we had.
Wonderful property - spacious indoor and outdoor spaces.Great location - we were able to easily walk to town and enjoy Bala's atmosphereAttentive host -
Fantastic property, clean, large enough for our 8 adult and 7 kid (ages from 12 yrs to 3 yr old twins) to enjoy a week. NOT long enough…we will be back next summer. The river was great, warm and not to much boat traffic. Large dock, and Lilly pad float for the kids to play on. Thank you to our hosts, you have a lovely home.Very satisfied client, Tania and Ian H
Drew was a great host. Extremely helpful and communication was awesome. The house was very clean when we arrived. Our family had a very relaxing time there. The location was in close proximity to all the surrounding cities. Definitely rent this property again.
