Welcome to the Billabong Inn!
Welcome to our family cottage on Ril Lake, where our family has enjoyed Muskoka cottage life for three generations. Between our own stays, we’re happy to share our cottage with guests looking to relax, spend time on the water, and enjoy everything the area has to offer.
Ril Lake is a scenic, spring-fed lake approximately three miles long, located just east of the village of Baysville in the popular Lake of Bays area. The cottage has a beautiful southwest-facing view and plenty of sunshine throughout the day.
The Cottage
Our bright, spacious cottage is spread over three levels and offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, making it comfortable for families and groups.
The main level features an open-concept living and dining area with a wall of windows overlooking the lake, vaulted pine ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, and a cozy airtight woodstove. There is a comfortable seating area with a Smart TV, with access to your favourite streaming services.
The large kitchen is open to the dining area and is equipped with modern appliances and plenty of extras, including an air fryer, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, slow cooker, blender, sandwich/grill cheese maker, coffee grinder, and electric frying pan.
There are two dining areas, including a lovely dining space beneath the vaulted, skylit ceiling. There is a stereo system and Bluetooth speaker.
The secluded primary bedroom is located above the garage, offering extra privacy from the rest of the cottage. It features a four-poster queen bed, ensuite bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi tub, TV, and access to the upper deck with a lake view.
The other three bedrooms include two queen bedrooms and a bedroom with single/double bunk beds. All equipped with fans.
The lower level offers a separate walkout games room with a pool table and Smart TV, making it a great entertaining space or a place for teens to escape, along with an additional bathroom.
We include baby gates, changing pad, and two strap to the seat high chairs (one with tray). As well as many board games and water toys to keep everyone entertained.
Outside & At the Lake
The cottage has several outdoor spaces to relax and take in the lake views, including a covered front porch, shaded lakeside deck, and large dock suitable for a boat or two.
The dock has plenty of room to sit back and enjoy the water, with a sun umbrella, Muskoka chairs, loungers, and water toys. The shoreline is rocky with a small shallow area where the bottom is sand and pebbles. The water becomes deep at the end of the dock, approximately 10 feet.
A fire pit provides a great spot to gather in the evening and enjoy a campfire by the lake.
Get Out on the Water
Enjoy the lake with the cottage's water equipment, including:
Canoe
2 paddle boards
Pedal boat
Kids' kayak
Variety of life jacket sizes including baby and toddler sizes
Whether you're heading out for a paddle, relaxing on the dock, or enjoying a swim, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your time on Ril Lake.
Explore Baysville & Muskoka
The cottage is just minutes from Baysville, a quaint village where you can browse local shops, enjoy the scenic park and trails, or grab something to eat.

We hope you enjoy the cottage, the lake, and the space as much as our family has over the years. We look forward to welcoming you to Ril Lake!
