About this property
3BR Waterfront Hidden Gem w/Private Dock & Hot Tub
Welcome to Cottage Morrison, your private waterfront escape on the peaceful Gull River where slow mornings, sun-filled afternoons, and quiet evenings by the fire come naturally. Set among mature trees with calming river views, this 3-bedroom retreat is the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy everything cottage life has to offer.
Spend your days on the water, launching a canoe right from your private dock, casting a line, or simply soaking in the stillness of the river as it flows gently past. The calm waters make it ideal for relaxed paddling and exploring, while the surrounding nature creates a setting that feels both peaceful and completely removed from the rush of everyday life.
Back at the cottage, the spacious deck becomes your go-to spot for summer living. Fire up the grill, enjoy meals outdoors, or settle in with a drink as the warm breeze moves through the trees. As the sun sets, gather around the stone firepit in classic Muskoka chairs, where long conversations, roasted marshmallows, and stargazing quickly become part of your nightly routine.
Inside, the cottage offers a bright and welcoming space designed for comfort and ease. The newly renovated kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including a dishwasher, making meal prep and cleanup effortless. The living room provides a cozy place to unwind in the evenings, with an electric fireplace adding warmth and ambiance on cooler nights.
Cottage Morrison comfortably sleeps up to six guests across three inviting bedrooms, with two full bathrooms providing convenience for families or groups. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or a longer stay, the layout offers both space and privacy for everyone.
Guests love the balance of waterfront access, peaceful surroundings, and proximity to town, making it easy to enjoy the best of both worlds, whether you’re staying in to relax or heading out for essentials and local exploring.
Summer availability is limited. Secure your stay and experience the quiet beauty of Gull River at Cottage Morrison.

We had a lovely stay, the cottage is so beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. The location is quite nice as it’s close to a little town where you can pick things up or go out for food, but super quiet that you can enjoy some quiet time in the hot tub or just relaxing. My only feedback to the host would be, that we booked for six people and the living room does not really have enough comfortable seating for six people, so I’d recommend changing up the layout/adding some comfortable furniture.
We booked this gem as a gathering spot with our adult children who live in England and Eastern Ontario. Check in was smooth and the cottage was very well equipped. Had a bit of an issue and Kyle was very quick to respond. It’s a huge property with dock, firepit and hot tub and we took full advantage of it. Beds were very comfortable. A short walk to the town's general store which has a liquor and beer store along with all the necessities.
We would highly recommend this hidden gem.

Hot-tub causes BACTERIAL INFECTION. Avoid at all cost.
My fiancé and I stayed here mainly to use their hot tub. Water was not clean and properly sanitized. It caused my fiancé very painful bacterial infection. Worst part is that the host denied everything even when provided medical proof.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jan 2025
I am very saddened and disappointed at how this situation has unfolded. As mentioned in our brief, initial exchange, I was very sorry to hear about your fiance’s health issues.
In regards to your claim, as I had mentioned, we regularly change, sanitize, and balance our hot tub - and your complaint was the first time one of our guests have ever had an issue.
We weren’t made aware of your fiance's situation until six days after check-out. There was no dialogue, but rather, a threatening message and demand for full refund, along with pictures of a prescription. You did not respond to our reply - the conversation ended. This anonymous review has been our first contact since you initially messaged us.
We have taken note of your complaint and are doing everything in our power to continue to provide the best guest experience possible.
