Gorgeous, "eco" cottage directly on the clear water of the Moon River with full sun (South-West exposure), smooth granite rock, towering white pine trees, and prime swimming for a true Muskoka vacation. The cottage has 400 ft. of river frontage and is on 10 acres of mature forest surrounded by extensive wilderness. Enjoy a tranquil, vacation with the family. There are no motorboats on the river and only one other cottage 1000 feet away, so safety and privacy is assured. The river is clear and of various depths for all levels of swimmers. The granite rock shore provides for easy access to step in or jump into the water. There is a canoe, 3 kayaks and a SUP available. Hikers, runners, and cyclists will enjoy many treed trails and laneways. The cottage overlooks the river and is full of light, surrounded by towering white pine. Relax on the deck, taking in all of the beautiful surroundings. The land is natural, without manicured lawns and extensive landscaping for a traditional cottage vacation. Unplug, relax and explore! There is good cell phone coverage and WiFi. Children will enjoy the trampoline, treehouse, hanging tire, and swing! Number of Bedrooms: 3 Master bedroom with a queen bed. Guest room with double bed (with a possible single bed for a smaller child). Guest bedroom on the second level with double bed and twin bed. The 2 twin bed mattresses can be unstacked to make two twin beds, for a total of 4 beds in this room. Max number of Occupants: 8 No Smoking. Privacy Rating: Excellent Exposure: Southwest Inside the cottage, you will find rustic Canadiana-themed decor with beautiful artwork, hardwood floors throughout, and a slate-tiled bathroom. The large open-concept kitchen-living room gives a spacious feel. The master bedroom has a queen bed, and a walk-out balcony - perfect for some quiet reading or morning coffee. The second bedroom has a double bed. There is a loft bedroom with a double bed - the loft is accessed by a Japanese ladder, and there are wood railings with tempered glass around the opening. There are large windows with screens which can open to let a nice breeze in. Guests will need to bring their own bath, beach, and kitchen towels as there are no laundry facilities on site. There is lots of room to prepare and enjoy meals and relax, playing games or reading by the fire at the end of the day. Alternately, spend your evening toasting marshmallows over an open-air fire, or head down to the river for some fishing. This "eco" cabin is fully wired and is "off the grid" using solar system energy. The cottage is wired with 12 volts (you can recharge devices using a 12-volt car charger plug that you bring with you as there are outlets for this in the cottage but you cannot plug in 110-volt appliances). The fridge and stovetop run with propane (there is no oven). There is a propane BBQ with a constant fuel supply. There is hot and cold running river water in the kitchen and bathroom sink, shower, and bidet. Bottled drinking water must be brought in from town, where you can fill up for free. There is an enviro-compost toilet inside the cottage and an outhouse. The cottage is on 400 feet of waterfront that is accessed by a steep path and stairs from the cottage. We are happy to communicate with guests before and during their arrival. We will be either in Toronto or on vacation while you stay at our cottage. The cottage is serviced by a local cleaning agency between guests. They also check the condition of the cottage before and after your stay.

Cute cottage immersed in the woods, with your personal lake and a very relaxing view. The children really enjoyed being in the lake, the trampoline and chasing frogs. Our enemies were the mosquitoes OMG! overall we really enjoyed our time there. Thank you Yolanda for all your help!

Yolanda and Carlos were terrific hosts - always accessible. The Moon river had a strong current and there’s a small waterfall about a 100 metres on the right - so watch out while using kayaks and going too far. Use the property as the boundary. Internet is good. Good LED lighting. No TV. Bring a back up storage battery and a projector if the kids want a movie night. That’s what we did. Kitchen is well equipped. No microwave (because of the power limit). BBQ is in good condition. Don’t use the Brush. Use an onion dipped in olive oil to clean and season the grill. Hope you enjoy your trip as we did. Thank you Yolanda and Carlos!!

We had a wonderful time at Over the Moon cottage. The water was calm during our stay and so clear you could see the bottom, excellent for swimming. The setting could not be more peaceful and serene. The children (ages 7 and 9) loved playing on the rocks along the shoreline. Yolanda and Carlos were fantastic hosts, and very easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely love to come back!

The cottage was comfortable, however cleanliness was not acceptable. The property owner quickly contacted the cleaners who were unable to come and clean, she offered to drive two hours to come clean, my husband and I did the cleaning, the owner said she would reimbursement the cleaning fee During our week the river flooded the dock daily and was very fast moving, we couldn’t enjoy swimming as it was to dangerous, this is completely out of the owners control, however it should be noted We took living off the grid as a challenge, we had absolutely no problem with lighting, hot water or charging devices and our week wasn’t particularly sunny Mike and Michelle July 2021

Everything worked well and the owners were responsive. Water access was restricted (dock was under water) due to unusually high water levels. The current was too strong for swimming.

This cottage was very unique, artistic, rustic, in the heart of the woods with waterfront, quiet and simply perfect for someone who is seeking comfort but wants to be closest possible to the nature! We loved every single minute of our stay here. Would definitely go back! Owners were very responsive, the fridge faced an issue and within a few hours the owner drove all the way from Toronto to come fix it. Would strongly recommend this cottage.

Beautiful location! Peaceful and quiet. Just what we were looking for! Lots for the kids to do (tree house, trampoline, and swings), and all within eyesight of the parents. The whole family can take the steps down to the river to enjoy the view. And, everything is within reach, just where you thought you'd find it. Well equipped and welcoming, this cottage is everything you'd hope for in your Muskoka retreat. Thank you to our hosts for sharing Over the Moon with us!

We had a great time! The cottage is beautifully decorated, the river is stunning and the host was very responsive and helpful. The property is close enough to town to easily get what you need but also felt private and peaceful.

Our second time renting here, and even more lovely. This is a unique spot for people who appreciate true natural beauty and are up for something different. Comfortable, clean, and full of things to do, like canoe, swim, read in the hammock, Firepit, trampoline, tree house. You won’t miss your screens or wifi. My kids didn’t ask once for a screen. We recommend to families with kids older than 5, and not too too senior, simply due to the stairs. It is a great spot, and we expect to return again.

We had a great week at over the moon. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you need. The space is really wonderful and was more than enough room for our family of 4. Our 2 boys 7 & 9 both enjoyed all the amenities but spent most of the time in the river where the various water levels allowed you to either splash around in the water or swim back and forth to the floating dock. There was always enough power or propane available for lights, charging devices, bbq, cooking etc., Lastly, the hosts were very responsive and proactive to ensure we were comfortable.
