If you've been hunting for a summer cottage rental that'll invite you to tap into your most serene self, allow us to introduce "The House of the Rising Sun."
Available for rent via Muskoka District Rentals, this retreat simply breathes "relaxation."
This property sits on the calm shores of Pine Lake, just a short drive from Bracebridge, and promises to serve the best of what you'd envision for a quintessential Muskoka getaway. Open-concept living spaces provide the perfect backdrop for connecting with family and friends, while incredible lake views — plus a host of premium inclusions and amenities — call for long days spent under the warm summer sun.
Inside the 4-bed cottage, a spacious and airy living area — complete with Pine Lake panoramas — is ideal for cozy group game nights, or for enjoying a quiet morning with a good book. The adjacent kitchen, well-equipped with plenty of storage, ensures you don't need to give up your gourmand preferences at your home away from home.
Also on-site is a charming bunkie with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and shower, plus a sauna. Across the property are a total of 5 beds and 3 baths, to sleep a total of 12 guests.
Outside, the level lot sprawls out along the waterfront, with a sandy private beach punctuating the property. And at the end of the long dock, you'll find the perfect place for several Muskoka chairs — to take in sunrise views here, listening to the loons alongside a cup of hot coffee? Paradise.

Our Favourite Thing
We are totally charmed by this rental retreat, but what we love most has to be the thoughtful design of the cottage's main living area. With soaring ceilings, plush furnishings, a walk-out to the back deck, and long lake views, all contained within a rotunda-style space, it brings the perfect blend of chic, welcoming, and whimsy. If our cottage stay happened to include a rainy day, we'd see it as a perfect excuse to make ourselves at home in this living area.

Located just outside Bracebridge, Pine Lake is a prime cottaging destination during the spring and summer months. Whether you prefer relaxing on the dock, getting active with some water sports, or meandering through town to explore the shop and restaurant options, you'll find your footing here in a heartbeat.
In fact, if you don't act fast, we may need to snap up this rental all for ourselves.
