- More than one acre
- 150+ feet of shoreline
- Southwest exposure

Southwest Exposure and Sunset Living
Exposure matters.A southwest-facing shoreline brings strong daytime sun and memorable sunsets.
At this property, the day naturally moves toward the water: swimming in the afternoon, dinner on the deck, and sunset from the shoreline.
For many cottage buyers, that lifestyle value matters more than extra square footage.
Sandy Shoreline Meets Muskoka Granite
One of the most appealing features is the mix of child-friendly sandy shoreline and classic Muskoka granite.That gives buyers both easy water access and the rugged natural character people associate with Muskoka.
When comparing Gibson Lake cottages, buyers should look closely at:
- Water depth
- Bottom conditions
- Swimming
- Docking
- Exposure
- Privacy
- Shoreline usability
It works.
Cottage Close to the Water
The fully furnished three-bedroom, one-bath cottage sits just steps from the shoreline.A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows fills the open-concept living space with natural light and keeps the lake in view throughout the day.
Other highlights include:
- Wraparound deck
- Sunroom
- Wood-burning stove
- Potable water with filtration
- Multiple outdoor entertaining areas
Private Bay Advantage
A sheltered private bay can create a more relaxed waterfront experience.Calmer water can improve:
- Swimming
- Paddling
- Dock use
- Fishing
- Family recreation
- Quiet time by the shore
Close to Bala
The property is approximately 15 minutes from Bala, offering convenient access to:- Restaurants
- Local shops
- Markets
- Bala Falls
- Wineries and attractions
- The Kee to Bala
- Cottage-country services
A cottage that is easy to reach is often a cottage that gets used more.
