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. Like many Muskoka lakes, Three Mile Lake can occasionally experience late-summer algae blooms (typically late August–October). During these periods, swimming may be discouraged, though paddling and boating are usually unaffected. Our area of the lake has historically been less impacted and later in the season. For current advisories, please refer to the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit. 4. 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 guarantee it.

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.

The cottage was exactly as described—clean, well-organized, and in a beautiful lakefront location. The views were stunning and the atmosphere was very relaxing, perfect for a getaway. Nicholas was a great host—very responsive, helpful, and provided clear instructions which made everything smooth from check-in to check-out. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay in Muskoka. Would love to come back again!

We had a wonderful weekend at this cottage! The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and had an incredible view of the lake. We encountered a weather-related issue upon arrival, but Nicholas was very responsive and made sure everything was resolved as soon as possible. A fantastic place for a getaway, with everything needed, including a well equipped kitchen and super comfortable bedding.

We loved our stay here! It’s such a beautiful, clean, bright and homey place. Nicholas was so organized and clear. There is lots around but it was so nice just staying in so we didn’t go out. His place is stocked with a lot of the basics like olive oil, salt pepper, towels for shower, face and hot tub. It was so easy felt like we were just going to our cottage. I would rent this place again forsure!

Our two-day stay was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. The property was impeccably maintained, exceptionally clean, and offered a calm, refined atmosphere that made it easy to fully unwind. Every detail reflected a high standard of care and quality. It was a truly enjoyable experience, and we would gladly return again. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay at Nicholas's cottage. It's a very well equipped and beautifully designed place, and even more spacious than the photos - great for a large family/group! Great that bedding is included unlike lots of other cottages, which makes for a more relaxing stay too. We were very grateful for the clearing of v. deep snow before we arrived for us to be able to access the firepit and lake. Thank you for a great stay!

We had a great stay at Nicholas's listing. From start to finish he was a very responsive host who proactively reached out to ask for anything that could make our stay better. The cottage itself was beautiful and spotless and extremely cozy. The pictures on the listing 10/10 match the experience we received. Would book again.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage! It was very clean, cozy, and newly renovated. The bed sheets were extremely comfortable—clean, soft, and white—and the windows offered a beautiful view of the lake. We did get stuck in the driveway at the end of our stay, and the host was extremely responsive and helpful in trying to get us out of the situation, which we truly appreciated. Excellent hospitality overall. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful stay at Nick’s Lakeside Retreat. The home was beautifully put together, very comfortable, and spotless when we arrived. We especially loved relaxing by the fireplace, enjoying the bonfire outside, and unwinding in the hot tub. It was the perfect cozy getaway, and we’d gladly stay here again. Thank you, Nick!
