Sunrise Vista in brief
Sunrise Vista is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom waterfront cottage on Brandy Lake, about 3 minutes from Port Carling in the heart of Muskoka and about 2 hours 45 minutes from Toronto. It sleeps 8, with a shallow-entry private beach, a boat and swim dock, two single kayaks, a tandem kayak and two stand-up paddle boards, a water lily pad, a fire pit, a wood-burning stove and an electric fireplace, a games room with a pool table and foosball, a dining table for 10 and Starlink Wi-Fi. Pets are welcome with approval.
Brandy Lake, minutes from the locks
Port Carling sits between Lake Muskoka and Lake Rosseau, and its locks lift boats from one lake to the other. Three minutes away, Brandy Lake is a smaller, quieter body of water, ringed with maples that turn early in the fall. Sunrise Vista sits on its shore, a family cottage with a long deck, a private beach and a dock, and the village close enough for a morning coffee.
The main living room looks straight onto the lake through a wall of glass, with an electric fireplace and a smart TV for film nights. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a coffee and tea bar for slow starts, and the dining table seats 10, so the whole group eats together. Outside, a lake-view patio has its own dining area and lounge.
The games room
Downstairs, the second living area is a proper games room: pool table, foosball, board games and a TV, with a wood-burning stove set into the stone wall. On a wet Muskoka afternoon it is where everyone ends up, and on a cold evening it is the warmest room in the house.
Four bedrooms, three bathrooms
Three of the four bedrooms have queen beds, including the primary, which looks over the lake and has an ensuite with a standing shower. The fourth is a children’s bunk room with a double and a twin. The main bathroom has a tub and shower, and a second guest bathroom has a standing shower. There is a high chair and booster seat for the youngest guests.
At the water
The private beach has a shallow, gradual entry that suits small children, and the dock works for swimming and for tying up a boat. Two single kayaks, a tandem kayak, two stand-up paddle boards and a water lily pad are provided in summer, with paddles, along with life jackets in children’s and adult sizes and flutter boards. In winter, the dock and watercraft are stored for the season. Brandy Lake is a fishing lake, too; one recent group came specifically for it and called the trip a success. At night, the Muskoka chairs gather around the fire pit.
We loved the peaceful views, the firepit, and the games room. There was something for everyone to enjoy.
