Relax lakeside with family & friends at our meticulously refurbished cottage and gaze at the stars from the hot tub (or bonfire); the quintessential Muskoka experience. When it's time to go inside, curl up in front of the fireplace or turn on Netflix. Wake up to the sound of loons then cook up a mean breakfast in our spacious kitchen while looking out at the lake and planning a day of paddling, lawn games and exploring Muskoka. Welcome to Shea on the Bay!

Other Details to Note

Important Notes ----------------------------------------- 1. Muskoka transforms into a magical winter wonderland, full of snowy surprises and ever-changing weather. While a local company regularly plows and shovels after snowfalls, we cannot guarantee the driveway and pathways will always be freshly cleared during your stay. We strive to maintain ideal access and appreciate guests using their best judgment to navigate and enjoy the property during the winter months. 2. Maintaining a good relationship with our neighbors is crucial. Loud music, shouting, and loud profanities are not tolerated at any time. This mostly applies to outdoor activities from May-Sept. Kids being kids—running around and making noise—is completely fine. 3. Parts of Three Mile Lake may experience algae blooms from late August to October, making swimming not recommended (but paddling is usually fine). Our cottage in Green Bay is historically affected the least and later in the season. For more details, visit the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit. 3. During the summer we have someone cut the grass and in the winter to clear the snow. We try to provide advance notice, but cannot gurantee it.

Neighborhood

3 Mile Lake it is located in between Port Carling, Huntsville and Bracebridge, and is about a 15-20 drive from each.

The neighborhood is remote, quiet and peaceful, and we politely ask guests to respect this during their visit.

Guest Access

The entire cottage is yours to enjoy! ... except for some boring storage areas.

All the parking you need is in our driveway which is plowed during the winter. The roads are nice and quiet and great for family walks, but to get to any stores, a vehicle is required.

This was an amazing airbnb. Every room was perfectly clean as if it were the first guests. The home is beautiful, honestly wish it was my own. Very cozy, lots of privacy by the lake and backyard. The host was very responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. I hope to be back here again

We really enjoyed our stay. Nicholas FIVE star HOST, very friendly and describes all instructions clearly. Everything was exactly the way mentioned. Very well spent money & time. We will definitely plan again and use their services. Everyone loved the cottage, location, lake view, and modern/clean cottage. FIVE STAR HOST AND RECOMMENDATION.

Nick was such a great host! He was incredibly informative and communicative from the start. My family and I had an amazing 3 days of tranquillity and relaxation at this cottage. There were organized instructions on how to operate everything. The water sports were provided and so much fun! The backyard had games, hammocks, and a giant fire pit, fun for every member of the family - no matter what you are into. The home itself is pristine and so well renovated. We are looking forward to returning in the near future!

This was our perfect cottage stay at Muskoka for 2 families that we booked for. Our families had the great time. The house, the amenities, the communication, everything was top quality. Nicholas and family are great hosts, and went above & beyond to exceed our expectations throughout the stay. This cottage had everything that one might need from a staycation. I can highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Muskoka lakes region. Thanks Nick & Family.

The cottage is very clean and had all the essentials you need. It's only few minutes drive away from the nearest gas station and convenient store/lcbo in case you forgot your bug spray or stuff like that. I love how the kitchen has a huge island and looking out to the lake. Nicholas is super responsive and always replied very quickly to all our questions. Really loved our stay here and will definitely come back.

Our group of 10 people and 2 dogs had a wonderful stay at Shea On The Bay! Nicholas's cottage is in a great location, close to many hiking trails and small towns to visit. The cottage was very clean, spacious and well appointed. We all enjoyed the beautiful views of the lake whether it be from the deck, hot tub or fire pit. Nicholas was a super host and responded quickly to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this cottage to others.

Nicholas’ property exceeded all our expectations. The stunning lakeside views and beautifully designed interiors took our breath away. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked—everything we could possibly need was at our fingertips. Nicholas was exceptionally responsive and a true pleasure to communicate with. He and his family were kind enough to let us use their lovely cottage for our wedding event, and we are so grateful. This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

This house was beautiful and clean and had everything we needed. There was so much room as we had 4 families in here very comfortably. I love that the basement is a whole other living place and was a perfect place for our kids to hang out. Nicholas was a great host and responded very quickly when I had any questions. I would love to come back here.
