## The place

Marrakahshe Retreat is a luxury cottage rental on the pristine waters of Kahshe Lake in Muskoka's Gravenhurst, Ontario. Under two hours from Toronto. The property combines 230 feet of private lakefront, eclectic high-end decor, and a curated collection of wellness and leisure amenities that set it apart from the typical Muskoka cottage rental. The cottage sleeps up to 11 guests across 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with a 50-foot walk-in sandy beach, a 400 sq ft floating dock, and kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards provided. The cedar electric sauna sits close to the water for easy contrast therapy. From May through September, a glamping yurt extends the accommodation and experience footprint. Multiple fire pits, a home theatre system, a Sonos music system, Starlink WiFi, a whole-house backup generator, and heated floors in the lower-level bathroom complete the amenity picture. The property has 148 reviews on Airbnb with a 4.93-star average. Guests consistently describe the lakefront, the sauna, and the overall standard of finish as exceeding expectations. Marrakahshe offers a 'book direct and save' model with approximately 15% savings versus Airbnb platform fees, direct communication with the host, and flexible check-in and check-out arrangements.
