Designer Escapes: where Muskoka cottage living meets modern Canadian design available to rent!

When you think of Muskoka, you probably picture lakeside sunsets, the smell of pine, and a cold drink in hand. But what if your cottage retreat also doubled as a modern design experience? Two Muskoka getaways — Rockhaven and Islandview — are proving that great escapes can also be beautifully functional.

Both cottages are styled with our Canadian-made pieces available right here at Object Interface, featuring our modern lighting and home accessories that blend craftsmanship, sustainability, and sculptural form.

Rockhaven: Natural Serenity Meets Design Personality

Set on a quiet stretch of Muskoka shoreline, Rockhaven pairs minimalist architecture with handcrafted warmth. Inside, the details are everything — from raw timber beams to softly layered textiles.

The interiors feature Object Interface pieces that bring a grounded, tactile elegance:

• The Yoke Wall Hook adds sculptural simplicity to the entryway — a design that’s as practical as it is poetic.

• The Column Candle Holder casts a warm glow in the evenings, doubling as a mini architectural statement.

• Exclusive Object Interface prototypes — custom-made lighting and decor not yet released to the public — punctuate the space with quiet innovation, giving Rockhaven its own distinct personality.

Rockhaven feels like what happens when cottage charm goes to design school — understated, clever, and endlessly cozy.

Islandview: Elevated Lake Living with a Modern Edge

A stones throw away, on renowned Lake Joesph, Islandview offers a luxurious sleek and sun-drenched alternative. Designed by VFA for those who crave the balance between relaxation and refined taste, it’s a showcase of modern Canadian design at its best.

Inside, several Object Interface favourites make their mark:

• The Hook Sconce offers warm, directional lighting that elevates every corner.

• The Screen Pendant Light anchors the dining area — a modern statement piece that glows like evening sunlight through linen.

• The Brass Rail Shelving adds an artful, functional touch to the kitchen — part storage, part sculpture.

• The Well Planter Light blends greenery and illumination, creating a living atmosphere that shifts with the time of day.

The result is a space that feels both modern and organic — Canadian design, dialed in perfectly to cottage mode.

Where Good Design Meets Lake Life

Whether you’re drawn to Rockhaven’s tranquil craftsmanship or Islandview’s contemporary edge, both cottages are an invitation to experience Muskoka in a new light — literally. Each stay highlights how thoughtful design transforms simple moments: morning coffee, late-night conversation, or a sunset that lingers just a little longer.
