At a time when cottages are in demand at record-breaking levels, a waterfront property like “Family First” on Lake of Bays is a rare find.

The charming cottage checks all the boxes in the nice-to-have department and comes with a price tag of less than $2-million.


The four-bedroom open-concept cottage boasts 175-feet of meticulously maintained waterfront with natural rock cropping.

Features including wood walls and ceilings throughout, hardwood flooring, an enclosed porch, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace offer that cozy cottage vibe. At the same time, built-in appliances, granite countertops, new air conditioning, and alarm systems with remote monitoring, as well as on-site laundry ensure that “roughing it” is never part of the equation.

Kids will appreciate having a large dock to accommodate all their water toys, a fire pit, surrounding forest, and a backyard large enough for tossing around a football. Meanwhile, parents can take in the stunning sunset views from Muskoka chairs with a glass of wine in hand.

This piece of paradise sits on the south end of the lake, near the charming town of Baysville, less than three hours from Toronto.
