Peaceful Muskoka retreat with 5 bedrooms, yoga room, sauna surrounded by nature

Welcome to Cedar, a spacious and peaceful Muskoka home created for rest, connection, creativity, and time close to nature.

Set among trees near Muskoka Beach, this six-bedroom home sleeps up to 10 guests across two comfortable levels. It is well suited to families, friends, wellness practitioners, creative groups, and small retreats.

The atmosphere is warm, quiet, natural, and intentionally different from a conventional vacation rental. Large windows, high ceilings, open gathering spaces, floor cushions, and Zen-inspired simplicity shape the experience.

This is a home for guests who appreciate calm surroundings, meaningful conversation, shared meals, movement, meditation, reading, and outdoor time. It is especially suited to people seeking a slower and more restorative Muskoka stay.

The home is intentionally television-free. Rather than centring the space around screens, it invites guests to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the surrounding landscape.

THE MAIN LIVING AREA

The bright main level has a spacious open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining area. High ceilings and large windows bring in natural light and views of the trees.

The living room includes a couch, lounge chairs, and floor cushions for relaxed gatherings. There is room to read, share tea, play games, listen to music, or enjoy conversations by the fireplace.

The open kitchen allows meals to become part of the shared experience. A large island seats three guests, while the nearby dining table accommodates up to ten.

This central area works beautifully for holiday meals, family gatherings, retreat conversations, and long dinners with friends. The open design lets everyone remain connected while cooking, eating, and relaxing.

A deck extends the living space outdoors. It is a lovely place for morning coffee, quiet reflection, shared meals, or watching the changing light through the trees.

FIVE BEDROOMS

The home has Five bedrooms with five beds and 2 additional floor mattresses. It can accommodate up to 10 guests.

The primary suite includes a king-size bed and a private ensuite bathroom. It provides a spacious and restful sanctuary away from the main gathering areas.

A second bedroom has a queen-size bed, while another has a double bed. These rooms are comfortable choices for couples or solo guests.

One bedroom contains two single beds. Another offers two single floor beds, making these rooms useful for children, friends, siblings, or retreat participants.

The fifth sleeping space includes two floor mattresses. This simple arrangement suits younger guests and those comfortable with a low, Zen-inspired sleeping style.

Several sleeping spaces reflect the home’s minimalist character. Guests seeking a conventional hotel experience may prefer another property.

Guests drawn to simplicity, warmth, and a peaceful shared atmosphere often feel very at home here.

YOGA AND MOVEMENT SPACE

The lower level includes a large open room for yoga, meditation, qigong, stretching, workshops, or relaxed gatherings.

This space makes Cedar especially suitable for wellness retreats, creative residencies, women’s circles, family practices, and groups who want more than bedrooms and a living room.

Bring your yoga mats, meditation cushions, instruments, journals, or art supplies. The room can support both personal practices and shared experiences.

Two sliding doors connect the lower level with the backyard. Natural light and easy outdoor access help the room feel connected to the surrounding landscape.

INFRARED SAUNA

The lower-level bathroom includes a shower and a two-person infrared sauna.

The sauna offers a comforting place to warm up after winter walks or cross-country skiing. It is equally enjoyable after yoga, hiking, swimming, or a quiet day at home.

This bathroom supports the home’s restorative atmosphere and adds a private wellness experience to your stay.

TWO LIVING LEVELS

Both levels of the home have food preparation areas. The main floor includes the full kitchen, while the lower level offers a convenient kitchenette.

This layout provides added flexibility for larger families, multiple couples, retreat leaders, or groups staying for a week or longer.

Guests can gather together in the main living area while still having quieter spaces available downstairs.

The home includes three full bathrooms and one half bathroom. The primary bedroom has a private ensuite, and the remaining bathrooms serve the shared spaces.

SURROUNDED BY NATURE

Although Cedar is close to town, the property feels peaceful and surrounded by nature.

Trees provide privacy around the home and backyard. Beyond them is an old golf course that has become an open meadow, adding to the spacious natural setting.

The backyard includes fire pits for evening gatherings. Guests can sit together beneath the night sky, share stories, or enjoy the quiet Muskoka air.

Sunsets in the area can be beautiful. The surrounding forest and open land change with each season, giving every visit its own atmosphere.
