The place

A seven-bedroom woodland estate with seven bathrooms on a peninsula in Lake Muskoka. The place is an ideal escape for a large family that loves nature—given its 210 metres of waterfront, two-storey boathouse and lake views from every room. It’s a short drive to downtown Bracebridge and Muskoka Airport and a two-hour haul to Toronto.
