Enhance Your Cottage with a Custom Stone Fire Pit or Outdoor Fireplace

There’s something timeless about gathering around a warm fire, especially at a cottage. Whether it’s early mornings by the lake or late nights under the stars, a well-designed fire feature becomes the heart of your outdoor living space. At Masonry Masters, we help homeowners and cottage owners across Simcoe County, Muskoka, and Parry Sound elevate their properties with custom stone fire pits and outdoor fireplaces built for beauty, safety, and long-lasting performance.

A custom stone fire feature doesn’t just add warmth—it creates atmosphere, increases property value, and transforms how you enjoy your outdoor space.

Why Choose Stone for Your Cottage Fire Feature?

Stone has always been a preferred material for fire pits and outdoor fireplaces because of its natural durability and authentic feel. In cottage country, where the landscape is filled with rock, forest, and natural textures, stone blends seamlessly into its surroundings.

Here’s why stone is an ideal choice:

1. Durability that Withstands Ontario Weather

Stone is naturally heat-resistant and capable of handling Muskoka and Parry Sound’s harsh winters. Properly installed stone fire features last for decades with minimal maintenance.

2. Timeless, Natural Beauty

Custom stone creates a warm, rustic look that fits perfectly with cottages and lakefront properties. Each piece of stone adds character and charm.

3. Low Maintenance

Unlike metal or prefabricated units, stone requires little upkeep. It doesn’t rust, warp, or deteriorate in the cold.

4. Fully Customizable

Whether you want a circular fire pit, a grand outdoor fireplace, or a modern design with clean lines, stone can be shaped and styled to match your vision.

Stone Fire Pits: A Cottage Classic

A stone fire pit is the ultimate gathering place for family and friends. Built low to the ground and surrounded by natural stone, it enhances the landscape while offering a cozy place to unwind.

Popular Fire Pit Styles We Build

• Traditional round stone fire pits

• Square or rectangular modern styles

• Large group fire pits for lakeside areas

• Smokeless designs with high-performance airflow

• Raised fire pits for seating walls and patios

Whether your cottage is tucked in the woods or sits by the water, a custom fire pit creates a welcoming and functional focal point.

Outdoor Fireplaces: A Touch of Luxury for Cottage Living

For those looking to add architectural impact to their outdoor areas, an outdoor fireplace offers both style and substance. Ideal for patios, covered outdoor rooms, and entertaining spaces, a stone fireplace brings a sense of comfort and elegance to cottage life.

Benefits of an Outdoor Fireplace

• Provides more controlled heat and less smoke

• Extends your outdoor season into spring and fall

• Adds privacy and structure to outdoor living areas

• Creates a natural centerpiece for patios and seating areas

Outdoor fireplaces pair beautifully with stone patios, retaining walls, and custom seating areas—offering a complete, cohesive outdoor design.
