Riverside Manor - Your Home away from Home. Experience the perfect combination of luxury and modern cottage living with our stunning bungalow, designed to provide warmth and comfort, it is your ideal cottage getaway located on the Muskoka River. The property boasts an open concept design which is light and airy, bringing in the beauty of nature indoors with our contemporary natural wood finishes and soft fabrics, and direct access to the Muskoka River with a large private deck and unlimited water activity options including fishing, swimming and kayaking, weather permitting. As you enter our cottage you are greeted by a bespoke mud room area with plenty of storage space for your coats, shoes, bags, and other seasonal needs. As you turn the corner you will enter our Great Room, designed with you in mind. With high ceilings and walls of windows, the beauty of nature and the warmth of the sunlight is brought in all day long, the open kitchen area allows you to never miss out on the action while preparing a meal for your family in our fully equipped chef inspired kitchen. With all new appliances and lots of counter space. The beverage bar includes everything you need including a kettle, coffee maker and coffee grinder and toaster. Directly below you will find a wine fridge with two temperature settings for both wine and beer. The cabinet space is in abundance so you will always have room to store your groceries and other non-perishable goods. The entire property has a water filtration system built in, but for your added comfort and peace of mind, we have also added a high-end water filtration system for drinking, located to the right of the large country sink. The custom-made oversized sofa allows all visitors to sit in comfort while relaxing or watching a movie on the 75-inch TV located above the gas fireplace. To add that extra layer of comfort, grab yourself a cozy throw conveniently located beside the fireplace. In the far corner you will find our reading nook, with two extra comfortable accent chairs and natural wood table, a perfect place to unwind and curl up with a good book and hot cup of cocoa. This also happens to be my favourite place to have my morning coffee and enjoy the sunshine as I look out of our wall of windows, or when I simply want to take minute to hit pause and reset. Directly outside the main living area you will find an extra-large deck that wraps around the rear of the property. The deck includes seasonal furniture, a high-end BBQ and plenty of room for your outdoor enjoyment. Let’s not forget the forest and river views and fire pit with Muskoka chairs that complement this outdoor oasis. Within the home, the Churchill dining table is elegant and extends to seat up to 8 guests. The wooden finish of both the table and chairs provides for the perfect quintessential cottage dining experience. Behind the dining area is our screened in Muskoka room, a place you are sure to seek out as your sanctuary and one of your favourite rooms at the cottage. It is quite literally the definition of bringing the outdoors inside.
There are four bedrooms in our cottage each with differing personalities. The main king has a grand headboard and is sprinkles with silver accents, premium bedsheets allowing for a cozy and gentle elevated sleep experience. The second king room is more rustic and captures the natural cottage feel with premium bed sheets and nature views. The queen room is fresher and brings the outdoor energy inside. The kids inspired room comes with two twin beds and a basket of toys to keep the younger members of your family busy. This room is also equipped with a TV to give them their own space to watch kid’s movie or to simply take some time away from the main family area. And because the simple things matter, all mattresses and bedding are premium to ensure a good night’s sleep. The cottage has ambient under floor heating along with air conditioning and ceiling fans. If desired, guests can use the gas fire for additional heat. The main bathroom has double sinks and plenty of space for toiletries. The sliding glass door shower and bath are the finishing touches to this room. There is also a powder room at the entrance next to the mud room.
