#The Red House

Luxe on Joe is an iconic Lake Joseph retreat that brings together style, comfort, and a true Muskoka atmosphere. Set on a sprawling 100-acre property with 500 feet of pristine beachfront, this seven-bedroom cottage offers an impressive mix of luxury amenities and relaxed lakefront living. The home is furnished with exceptional pieces and art, and its outdoor spaces are designed for gathering, lounging, and making the most of life on the water. A brand-new 1,400-square-foot party dock anchors the shoreline and creates a standout setting for swimming, sunbathing, or hosting an unforgettable afternoon by the lake.

Inside, the cottage offers generous gathering spaces and thoughtful details throughout. The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, a large island, and a breakfast bar, flowing naturally into the dining areas and the great room with its vaulted ceiling and fireplace. The Muskoka Room provides a bright and inviting place to unwind, with floor-to-ceiling windows that open to create a screened room and a wood-burning fireplace for cooler evenings. Additional relaxation spaces include a covered porch with retractable screens and a private screened porch off the primary suite. With seven bedrooms spread across three levels, the cottage comfortably accommodates large families and groups. Many bedrooms include their own sitting areas, outdoor spaces, or ensuites, offering privacy while still keeping everyone connected. The lower level adds even more room to enjoy, with a ping pong table and easy access to the outdoors. The cottage includes air conditioning, a generator for peace of mind, smart TVs, high-quality linens, and two sets of laundry machines.

The outdoor experience is just as impressive. Guests can enjoy the expansive dock setup with loungers, several dining and seating areas, a firepit, and access to canoes, kayaks, a paddle boat, and a small rowboat on the pond. A custom-built sauna provides a spa-like place to recharge, and the beach area offers a soft, sandy entry into Lake Joseph.

Just minutes from both Bala and Port Carling, the cottage sits in an ideal central location for shopping, dining, and exploring. By boat, guests are close to many of Muskoka’s most popular destinations, including Lake Joseph Club and the well-loved spots on Lake Rosseau. The property itself is beautifully landscaped, with winding pathways and lush gardens leading to a quiet sandy beach, a boathouse sundeck, and several outdoor seating areas overlooking the lake.
