Designed for slow mornings and sunset views, this thoughtfully styled retreat offers cozy interiors, a fully equipped kitchen, and direct lake access. Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, a family getaway, or solo rest — The Willow is your calm corner of cottage country. The Space: The Willow features three beautifully appointed bedrooms — plus an adorable bunkie for additional guests— perfect for couples, families, or close friends. The open-concept kitchen and living area offers plenty of space to relax, with large windows overlooking the lake. Outside, enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, take a dip off the private dock, or unwind by the firepit as the sun sets over the water. The Neighborhood: Located just minutes from downtown Bracebridge, The Willow blends natural beauty with small-town charm. Explore local shops, hiking trails, and Muskoka’s iconic scenery — or simply relax and soak in the lakeside tranquility. Other Things to Note: Please note that access to the lake involves a number of stairs and a rocky shoreline, so care is encouraged. There’s a spacious parking area, and guests can use the small bridge to reach the cottage — complete with a wagon to help carry your belongings. For your enjoyment, we’ve included lawn chairs, loungers, canoes, kayaks, a paddleboard, foam dock, and floaties to make the most of your time on the water. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Refrigerator ### Bathroom - Shower ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 5:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 26 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules There is a pet fee of $100 ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Note from host: Charge may apply ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
