Seeking the perfect northern retreat? You need look no further than Lake Muskoka's dreamy "Shoreside" escape.
Available for rent via Muskoka District Rentals, this cozy cottage rental boasts million dollar views for only $700 a night.
Located just a short drive (or boat ride) from charming Port Carling, guests can make a quick escape for some ice cream, retail therapy, or a nice meal in town. Plus, you can enjoy the plethora of hiking trails and golf courses in the area for some off-property fun.
All this said, we wouldn't blame you for simply hiding away at this three-bedroom-plus-bunkie lakeside retreat all weekend, taking advantage of the stunning west-facing views, the spacious upper deck and dock, the gourmet kitchen, and more.
This place has the rustic charm of a well-loved family cottage, but features stylish designs, newly renovated spaces, and modern appliances. The result is a perfect combination of chic convenience and cozy character.
In the living area, take in the rich barn board walls, vaulted timber ceilings, and wood-burning brick fireplace, and feel yourself drifting into a sense of warmth and comfort. With large windows overlooking the lake and a crackling fire, the glowing living space is the perfect spot for some post-dinner card games and drinks.

Then, head into the newly renovated kitchen — with gorgeous green and white subway tiling, and lots of space to chef up a storm — for meal prep with family and friends. Plus, just off the kitchen, you'll find a screened-in dining nook-meets-Muskoka room, with 360 degrees of windows offering breathtaking lake views.
Our Favourite Thing
It's rare to come across a cottage with as much deck and dock space as Shoreside has. Up top, guests can step out onto a spacious upper deck with glass railings for unobstructed lake vistas, while down by the water, a large dock awaits keen swimmers, sun seekers, and water sport enthusiasts.
The cottage also offers wifi, a screened Muskoka room, air conditioning, a bunkie with a queen bed, and access to a canoe, which we recommend taking out for a tranquil sunrise paddle — or a romantic sunset cruise.
With a prime location, charming character, convenient amenities, and ample space for the whole family, what more could you ask for in a cottage retreat? So don't wait. Your perfect summer stay is waiting.
