Perched on a magnificent point of granite overlooking beautiful Muskoka Bay, this cottage is removed from—yet still close to—the shops, restaurants and activity at the Gravenhurst Wharf. This earthy, urban Lakeside Cottage offers exquisite 180-degree lake and small island views from multiple angles. The modern architecture and floor to ceiling windows take full advantage of this truly unique setting.

Three bedrooms and three bathrooms are spread out on the main, open concept level with a fourth Master bedroom / ensuite on a second level overlooking the lake. Amber is an entertainer’s dream with its great room, ample light and gourmet chef’s kitchen where you are always part of the conversation. The furnished outdoor cabana with louvered roof extends the living space to offer sun or shade with a lovely breeze, and space to relax with your morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset. Enjoy lounging and socializing at the natural stone fire pit or watch the iconic Muskoka steamships glide past the sun-drenched dock. Immerse in the Jacuzzi hot tub while encouraging the “Family Chef” to up their game with our patio side, wood-fired Alfa pizza oven, Traeger Smoker and Napolean BBQ..

Less than 2 hours from the GTA and directly on the Big Three Muskoka lakes chain, Amber Cottage offers both convenience and a prime location, especially for boaters and water enthusiasts. Guests appreciate the proximity to restaurants, shopping and world-class golf. Our expansive boathouse rooftop deck features more than 400 square feet of space for sun-seekers, including patio dining and comfortable loungers.
