Inside a Luxury Muskoka Cottage on Lake Rosseau | Cedar Rail Cottage

Step inside our Cedar Rail Cottage — a 6,500 SQFT luxury home perched high above Lake Rosseau in the heart of Muskoka. In this sit-down tour with Design Principal, Alex Foreshew, we explore not just the architecture, but the deeper design philosophy that shaped this remarkable property.

From the cliffside positioning to the seamless integration of cottage, boathouse, and landscape, Cedar Rail is a study in how luxury living meets the natural Canadian Shield. Alex shares how client discovery, constructability, and a respect for land informed every decision — from slatted structural details to inverted butterfly roofs and stone datums that ensure both beauty and privacy.

This project is more than a cottage: it’s a legacy property, designed to capture sweeping views of Lake Rosseau while offering intimate spaces for family connection. With a two-storey boathouse, a refined Muskoka room, and a sandy shore at the water’s edge, Cedar Rail embodies the essence of Muskoka luxury.

Watch the full story of how imagination becomes reality, and how design transforms land into lasting legacy.
