An escape like no other with family and friends! Relaxing, serene and that Muskoka air makes for beautiful memories that make you want to keep coming back.

Spent a weekend at Cliff Bay celebrating a friends 60th birthday. The view is spectacular. The cottage is beautiful and cozy with everything we needed to make this an experience to remember for years to come.

We had a wonderfully relaxing time at Cliff Bay. The location is simply gorgeous and the cottage is beautifully decorated. Swimming, relaxing with our friends and preparing great meals in the wonderful kitchen made for a terrific holiday.

A most relaxing retreat. We had a fantastic stay at Muskoka Soul. The Cliff Bay house includes luxurious and small touches that make the stay here all the more enjoyable. The weather turned ‘wintery’ and the snow on the trees was absolutely magical.

Cliff Bay was absolutely perfect for our intimate wedding weekend! Thank you Sandra, Bruce and Elizabeth for being so organized, accommodating and going the extra mile to ensure our wedding was perfect. Elizabeth was super responsive and organized which helped ease the stress of planning our wedding, especially as we were planning it from a distance! Sandra and Bruce went above and beyond to ensure the cottage was set up exactly as we needed it for our wedding. Our guests can't stop raving about the beautiful venue and we are looking forward to coming back in the future (maybe to celebrate a wedding anniversary!).

What an awesome, high-end place to stay in. Large open concept main level stocked with everything you would need, excluding food, of course. Six bedrooms and multiple bathrooms make this a perfect getaway for large groups.

Proud to share recent reviews on AirBnB, Canada Stays, VRBO & Trip AdvisorApril 2019Sandra and Bruce's place is truly magical and everything you would expect for Cliff Bay. It has the perfect mixture of a warm cottage vibrance and modern amenities that make for a very comfortable stay. The cottage itself is incredibly spacious, we comfortably fit 10 with ease. Communicating with Bruce and Sandra was always prompt and our check in + check out was simple and efficient. Would recommend to anyone looking to escape the city or for a corporate retreat.March 2019Absolutely beautiful cottage, great location & amazing hospitality. I would 100% recommend staying at Cliff Bay for a relaxing getaway from the city, it has all the amenities of a 5-star resort & the comforts of home.March 2019Our group had a fantastic stay. The cottage was clean, spacious, and had all the items in the kitchen we could have needed! Communication with Sandra and Bruce was fantastic.

Muskoka Soul is a beautiful property with a scenic view of the lake. This was our second stay at the cliff bay house and this visit was even better than the last. The house and rooms were spacious and comfortable for our group of 12, the kitchen was the perfect size for large family meals. Elizabeth could not have made the experience easier to organise and Bruce was very responsive if we had any questions. Already looking forward to our next stay.

WE stayed at Cliff Bay. This is a stunning property! Close enough but not too close to the city, in the heart of Muskoka with a fantastic sand entry into the lake. Sandra's attention to detail is evident from the exquisite finishes of the property to the customized offerings to the guests which make the stay exceptional, unique, and comfortable.

Muskoka Soul Cliff Bay is an oasis on the water. Their attention to detail is evident throughout the cottage. The beds are extremely comfortable. The atmosphere of the building is luxuriously rustic. The waterfront has an excellent swimming area, and the landscaping is beautiful. We loved our stay and hope to come back again!

From the moment you walk in the door at Muskoka soul until the moment you leave, there is a feeling of peace and comfort. The kitchen is a joy to cook in and a great gathering place for friends and family to connect, the beds are so comfortable that you could sleep forever, except you don’t want to miss a minute of what the cottage has to offer. From hiking trails to dock time or lovely shops in Gravenhurst to explore. Sitting on the dock and watching water planes out on day adventures to the old steamboats going by. Muskoka Soul is a favourite retreat for our family, a true gem that you must experience for yourself!!

I've now been to both the Lakehouse and Cliff Bay properties - needless to say, both are incredible. My family recently visited Cliff Bay to celebrate a milestone birthday and it was the perfect venue for the celebration. We had renowned Chef Don cater the event (we recommend the lasagna!) and everybody LOVED the food. Amazing house, great energy, and most importantly: comfy beds. 5 star recommendation...looking forward to our next visit!

Absolutely amazing experience and the best staff to deal with. Our wedding could not have been located in a more traditional Muskoka setting. Everything was easy and could not have asked for anything more!

I just ran my very first wellness retreat at the Cliff Bay House and it was absolutely amazing! Beautiful house, beautiful property, beautiful dock, and my favourite part was how organized and easy everything was. All my guests left very happy. I would rent again and highly recommend. Thanks!

Cliff Bay was the perfect location for our Self-Love retreat! Not only is the cottage beautifully appointed and ideal for large groups, it also has a "soul" of its own....allowing all of our participants to feel comfortable, pampered and well-taken care of....which is exactly what we wanted to find in ourselves!!! The property owners went above and beyond to make sure that our retreat was memorable and successful...which it was! The bedrooms were perfect for sleeping and for finding quiet time, the kitchen was the heart of our retreat and the great room allowed us to have conference time as well as yoga and stretch classes. The dock was perfect for morning meditation as well as for retreat exercises. The surrounding trails were also an added bonus for a quick hike or a quiet walk. Cliff Bay was a magical place for our retreat and we will be back!!

A absolutely stunning property! My family rented it to attend my Nephews wedding in Gravenhurst! The only sad thing is it was not a long enough stay!! I hope to return in the summer sometime to enjoy sitting on the dock and enjoying the warm weather. Being there in the fall the colours were spectacular!! This house has all the amenities you would need to enjoy your stay. This house is so clean and comfortable and just beautiful! Thank you Elizabeth for always responding quickly to any answers We had! Thanks Sandra for sharing this property!!
