Description Show

An exceptionally modern and completely updated riverside cottage stands beside a series of gentle rapids on the shores of Moon River, Bala, Ontario. The rhythmic flow of water creates a serene and picturesque atmosphere. Located within walking distance to local shops, Don’s Bakery, restaurants, and LCBO. Near the Kee to Bala for live music and entertainment, and the popular and trendy Bala Cranberry Festival.

This open concept cottage has two elegant bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a luxury kitchen, dining room, coffee bar, spacious living and dining room, and two decks for outside enjoyment. It has unlimited high speed internet services, and reliable connectivity.

The front entrance mudroom of this four-season cottage has a bench and a rack for outdoor wear. The main front door into the house is located here as well.

The first main floor bedroom has a king size bed, and French doors for easy access to the deck and direct views of the river. It has a large closet and dresser with two side tables and a wall air conditioner. A second main floor bedroom has a king size bed, a large dresser, large, picturesque windows, and a wall air conditioner.

Tucked between these stylish and clean line bedrooms, is one of two bathrooms. The large, spacious, main bathroom is well equipped with a full-sized tub and shower with glass doors, a double sink vanity with large mirrors, and a toilet with a bidet. A unique stand holds bath towels and washcloths for easy access. The second smaller bathroom has a sink and vanity, posh fixtures, and toilet.

The open concept family room has a large inviting couch and ottoman, and coffee table. It has a large smart flat screen television and a handy electric fireplace for cooler evenings.

There is a coffee/cold drink cafe set up with a mini fridge. A coffee maker, electric tea kettle, and ample mugs and stemware to choose from can be found here. Comfy chairs and coffee table make this a popular nook any time of day.

The cottage features a fully stocked modern kitchen designed to combine functionality with elegance. Stainless-steel appliances include refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and double sink. This area has a large central island with four stools for a place to gather while meals come together, and useful small prep sink. Sliding glass doors to the deck offer beautiful river views.

The dining room has two large tables, and seating for twelve people. The wall of windows here frame views of the moving water and forested banks across the river.

There are two decks attached to the house, and one patio just underneath the upper deck. One deck has two wooden rocking chairs, a retractable awning, BBQ, and picnic table to enjoy on a summer day. The riverside deck has a glass patio table, four chairs, and two iconic Muskoka Chairs. The lower patio faces the river as well, and has a more traditional picnic table, plus a newer style outdoor patio table and bench like seating.

There are two swing chairs to choose from on this level lot, and both offer stellar views of the cascading water on the rocks. Follow the granite walkway to a fire bowl area, grab a canoe, paddleboard, or water bike off the rock dock and enjoy Moon River.

**There is no wooden dock or sand beach available at this cottage. Due to the unique and sometimes slippery surfaces on the outcrop of natural rock by the water, it would be unsuitable for children under the age of 10 years old. There are several small pools of water to dabble in, created by the small rapids rock formations. **

🌊 Enjoy the Water & Nature
• Bala Falls & Moon River – Walk over the bridges and take in the scenic waterfalls where Lake Muskoka flows into the Moon River. The sound of tumbling water and the surrounding forest make for a peaceful experience.
• Historic Walk / Heritage Walk – Do the Bala Historic Walk, a self-guided loop through the town’s islands, bridges, and falls. Great spot for photos and to learn a bit of local history.
• Boating, kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing & lake fun – With Lake Muskoka nearby, Bala is a perfect base for water-based activities or just relaxing on the lake (weather permitting).

🏛️ Local Culture & History
• Bala’s Museum (“With Memories of Lucy Maud Montgomery”) – A must-visit especially if you love Anne of Green Gables. The museum features artifacts from the Muskoka region and items connected to L.M. Montgomery, who visited Bala in 1922. It even includes first-edition books, memorabilia, and dioramas.
• Shop & browse local stores – There are plenty of charming local shops around town: home décor, gifts, handcrafted goods, cottage-style items, and more. The town centre is very walkable.

🎶 Food, Music & Social Vibes
• The KEE to Bala – Legendary concert/dance hall on the lake. For decades, it’s hosted live music, dances, events — a classic Muskoka night out.
• Local bites & treats – Grab something tasty at local favourites like Don’s Bakery (buns, pies, scones), enjoy a meal with lake views at one of the pubs or restaurants, or pick up artisanal chocolates at the Cacao Boys shop.

Bala has a charming little downtown / main street area with several shops all within walking distance — perfect for wandering in and out for souvenirs, gifts, décor, or cottage-style finds:

Jack & Stella — Boutique + café/restaurant, also sells clothing/gifts / sometimes frozen pizzas for takeaway.

Twig — Lovely home & cottage décor store.

Birchbark — Clothing, jewellery, gifts — good for cottage-country style shopping.

Cacao Boys — Artisanal chocolates and treats — great for picking up a sweet souvenir or a gift.
