The largest cottage resort on the lake, with over 1.6 kilometres of shoreline, a 100-metre sandy beach, and 240 acres of Muskoka forest, meadow, and waterfront. Operating since 1921, Lumina has reached its 105th season in 2026, a continuity that produces something few Ontario resorts can offer: the earned calm of a place that knows exactly what it is. The resort's wellness offering is rooted in the restorative power of the Muskoka natural environment rather than a spa pavilion: chef-prepared breakfast and dinner are included in every stay, a supervised children's program frees adults to decompress fully, and a comprehensive activity roster. Kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, sailboats, water skiing, tennis, lawn sports, and marked walking trails. Provides the physical engagement that complements mental restoration. The Muskoka dining room has panoramic views of Lake of Bays from its beam-and-glass-and-stone design. Accommodation ranges from 36 chalet-style cottages (some with fireplaces and balconies) to comfortable main lodge rooms, all with their own character and perspective. Three generations of Hungerford family management have produced a resort culture of genuine friendliness, a no-hidden-charges philosophy, and the kind of repeat-guest rate that speaks more clearly than any marketing claim. The shore breakfast. A boat trip to the resort's private island for a campfire-cooked breakfast over open water. Has become a Lumina institution. ## What it is like - Lake of Bays waterfront. 1.6 km of shoreline: The largest cottage resort on Lake of Bays: 100-metre sandy beach, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, sailboats, and waterskiing on one of Muskoka's most beautiful large lakes. - Chef-prepared meals included: Breakfast and dinner every day, prepared by the resort's Executive Chef and Pastry Chef in a panoramic Muskoka dining room.
