[Goldenwood Lakehouse] Luxury 5 BR Winter Retreat, Fireplace, Ping Pong

Welcome to your private 4,000 sq/ft lakeside sanctuary in the heart of Muskoka—where the forest whispers, the lake glimmers, and every detail has been curated for travelers who value beauty, comfort, and unforgettable moments. Hidden on a quiet lake and surrounded by four acres of untouched forest, this retreat is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to arrive, to exhale, and to rediscover calm, all while having a great time.

Thanks to our exclusive partnership with Bonsai Stays, guests enjoy elevated service, thoughtful attention to your needs, and premium amenities crafted specifically for discerning travellers and families seeking safe, serene, and impeccably cared-for escapes. From cleanliness standards to thoughtful touches throughout the home, every corner reflects Bonsai’s and our commitment to comfort, peace, and exceptional hospitality.

The Space

Step inside and let the story unfold.

The great room stretches out before you—bright, warm, and elegantly furnished. Expansive windows frame sweeping views of the forest canopy and shimmering lake, bathing the room in natural light from sunrise to dusk. Whether you`re sharing a slow breakfast, hosting a family dinner, or sipping wine by the fire, every moment feels cinematic.

The fully equipped chef’s kitchen features high-end appliances and everything needed to craft memorable meals. Brew your morning coffee as the sun rises over the water. Cook a feast with friends or family. Or simply settle in with a 5 star hotel level of comfort and convenience—another hallmark of Bonsai Stays.

Throughout the home, five beautifully appointed bedrooms await. The lake-facing master suite is a retreat within a retreat: a king bed draped in soft linens, a peaceful sitting space, a walk-in closet, and a private ensuite made for long, indulgent unwinding. Four additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms ensure every guest has space to rest, recharge, and feel at home.

For Play, Peace, and Togetherness

Days here stretch long and luxurious.

Gather in the living room for movies, board games, or fireside conversations that last late into the night. Challenge each other at the ping–pong table. Wander the property, breathe the forest air, and reconnect with the quiet part of yourself that only nature awakens.
In winter, we provide two pairs of snowshoes—perfect for exploring the lakeside trail or discovering nearby parks dusted with snow. This winter we are also including 4 tickets to the Forest of Light experience at Sandhill Nursery, until March, so take advantage of this limited time perk.
