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.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

3 Mile Lake it is located in between Port Carling, Huntsville and Bracebridge, and is about a 15-20 drive from each. To get to our cottage you make your way through quintessential Muskoka country and eventually towards a quiet peninsula dotted with cottages. 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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Thanksgiving weekend. Host Nicholas’ lake side escape provides the comforts of home with the amenities you’d find in 5 star accommodations. Comfortable and spacious beds with quality linens, plenty of luxurious towels, open concept living space and separate tv room. This haven met the needs of our three generation family and our long weekend visit was certainly memorable! Thank you Nicholas!

Nicholas was a fantastic host and the cottage was beautiful! We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, roasting marshmallows by the fire, and chilling in the hot tub. The kitchen was stocked with most equipment you’d need, rooms felt clean, and the living areas had the comfiest couches. 10/10 would stay here again!

Nicholas was an attentive and very responsive host! His lakefront home was beautifully decorated exactly as shown in photos, with lots of extra thoughtful details to make our stay comfortable. Would highly recommend and hope to return again in the future!

Nicholas was a great host and our group of 10 adults had more than enough space to entertain and rest any time of the day. The location is stellar to see the stars over the lake.

Hands down the best cottage my friends and I have ever stayed in! The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need. The beds were fantastic and the lakefront view was out of this world.
