The Space:
Echo Lake Escape – A Rarely Offered, Soulful Muskoka Retreat
Welcome to Echo Lake Escape, a one-of-a-kind cottage getaway nestled on an extraordinary point of land with over 400 feet of private shoreline and exceptional sun exposure from morning through sunset. This rare offering has been completely gutted and meticulously renovated, transforming a charming, solidly built original into a refined, serene four-season retreat—ideal for guests seeking comfort, privacy, and a true connection to nature.
Set on a mix of flat table land and rugged Canadian Shield, the property offers the best of Muskoka: towering white pines, granite outcrops, and winding forested trails. The shoreline includes both shallow, sandy entry for easy swimming and deep, clear water (20+ feet) off the dock—perfect for diving, lounging, or launching your canoe or paddleboard. With east, south, and west exposure, you’ll enjoy sunrise coffee on the dock, sun-filled days by the lake, and evening wine by the firepit as the sun sets behind the trees and the call of loons echoes across the water.
The interior has been thoughtfully reimagined, blending warm natural textures with clean, modern finishes. Designed for both relaxation and gathering, the cottage features an open-concept living area with a fireplace, a fully updated kitchen with built-in appliances, a spacious dining space, and cozy sleeping quarters filled with natural light. Every detail—from the wood finishes to the curated furnishings—has been selected with care to elevate the guest experience.

The rental comes with 2 paddle boards and 1 kayak.
The swimming off the dock is not weedy it is very clear and deep. (Also a very clean and warm spring fed lake).
At the beach it has lotus flower stems that are weedy. But once your further out you don’t notice.
Just five minutes from Baysville, you’ll have easy access to local shops, a great brewery, the public library, and even Lake of Bays. Yet, once you arrive at Echo Lake Escape, you may never want to leave.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful family holiday, a romantic hideaway, or an inspiring place to write, paint, or play music, this unforgettable retreat offers privacy, beauty, and soul in equal measure.
Please note due to the shallow nature of the water you will not be able to dock your boat on the dock.
