1073 Ward Ln N, Bracebridge, ON P1L 1X1

The moment I started following the winding road to the end, where the traffic faded away and the air smells different, I knew this place was something special. The river began peeking through the trees, and as I reached the end of the road, I sat at the top of the hill and took in the birds-eye view of the property. Its a peaceful stretch of the Muskoka River framed by pines and a flat sandy shoreline. That is how I met this hidden Muskoka gem a place where time seems to have stopped, and I can imagine weekends stretch out just a little longer. With nearly 200 feet of water frontage wrapping around the edge of the property, the walk-in shoreline seems tailor-made for morning dips and easy launching for your daily paddle. The docks already in place, already accustomed to hosting a boat or the days fishermen casting their lines. As I stepped into the 1959 cottage, I was instantly transported to a different era. Do you remember the one?.. no TVs, no phones, no frills. It carries that cozy, rustic feel people come up here searching for. With three bedrooms, there is ample space to host your loved ones. And with a full kitchen, bathroom, laundry and the internet at their fingertips, it will be no surprise when they are content to stay, as the everyday comforts they need are all in place. When it is time to head back to find some reality, a new driveway means easy access to the year-round road. I am only 10 minutes back to Bracebridge, so grabbing supplies, a latte, or dinner in town is an easy option, but truthfully, you may just choose to stay put, isn't that why you came up here in the first place? So whether you come here for summers adventures, fall colours, or simply the peace that comes from watching the river flow by, this isn't just a getaway it is the kind of place where traditions begin. The classic cottage experience in the heart of Muskoka, just waiting for your story to begin.
