Cottage #276

Welcome to "Beaumaris By the Bay"

This remarkable property on much sought-after Lake Muskoka, on mainland-connected Tondern Island at Beaumaris, is a vacation destination dream come true! Located on famous "Millionaire's Row", enjoy this rare opportunity to take a step back in time, while enjoying all the modern conveniences of home and so much more..."Old Muskoka" at its finest!! In 1986, the owner's parents fell in love with the vintage cottage and guest cottage, and completed the sales agreement, with the owner at the time, while she had her staff serve high tea and cucumber sandwiches, welcome to steeped in history hospitality. Since then life at their paradise retreat has been less formal and full of decades and volumes of fun and fond memories.

Three separate living spaces share the 3.25 acres property with 300 feet of natural water frontage. A classic 1,500 sq. ft., 2 level, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom boathouse, with 3 separate decks, a screened-in Muskoka room and an expansive dock, is the main structure of the family compound on the property. Nestled in the trees, just a short walk from the boathouse, is a 860 sq. ft., one level, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom guest cottage, complete with it's own deck. Both structures have an open concept kitchen/dining/living room with beautiful stone, wood-burning fireplaces. Tucked in behind the guest cottage is a 518 sq. ft. guest suite above the garage, with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. All 3 century old buildings were renovated during 2011/2012, maintaining their original integrity of natural building materials, combined with comfy furnishings throughout, to create an ambiance and style of a bygone era.

With so many decks to choose from, start your mornings off on one of them, cup of coffee in hand and take in your stunning and tranquil natural surroundings as you welcome another day in paradise. Your days will be filled with so many options of fun in the sun, with so many areas for the family to spread out and enjoy. The sandy beach, with its shallow entry along the waterfront, is the ideal spot for the young ones to safely splash and play while the older kids can jump off the end of the dock into deep water and swim out to the water trampoline or lily pad. With 2 stand-up paddle boards at your disposal, be sure to get out on the water, especially in the morning when the lake is at its calmest.

For avid boaters bring or rent a boat and explore the extensive network (known as "The Big Three") connecting Lake Muskoka to Lake Rosseau by the Indian River, and Lake Rosseau to Lake Joseph by the Joseph River. Lake Muskoka is extremely picturesque with an abundance of islands and has everything you could wish for in a lake, you can even boat to restaurants!

However you choose to spend your days, end them with a BBQ back at the cottage, then gather around the fire bowl, watching fireflies as the sky fills with a blanket of stars and listen to the melodic call of the loons as yet another fabulous day in cottage country comes to a close! The rich cottage history of vacationing on this famous lake is sure to please the whole family, so there is no better time than now to dive into cottage life and live it to its fullest!
