This Cozy Lake Muskoka Rental Boasts Stunning Sunsets

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.SPECS:Location: Lake Muskoka, near Port CarlingBedrooms: 4 (including bunkie)Bathrooms: 1Occupancy: 8Minimum stay: 3 nightsRent: visit the listing on Muskoka District RentalsThen, 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.
