About this property

6BR~Hottub~Lakefront~AC~Beach | Shea On The Bay Family Getaway

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!

About the host

Hosted by Nick

Host profile image
I was born and raised in small-town Ontario, surrounded by a big, close-knit family where hosting was a way of life. From summers at the lake to gatherings around the dinner table, I developed a deep appreciation for meaningful connection and shared experiences. Now, as a family man who loves travel, good food, and the outdoors, I take pride in creating welcoming spaces where guests can unwind, feel at home, and make lasting memories of their own.

Why they chose this property

My family chose 3 Mile Lake because it offers a rare sense of peace and quiet that’s becoming harder to find in Muskoka. It’s truly in the heart of the region—perfectly situated between Port Carling, Huntsville, and Bracebridge—yet it feels wonderfully removed from the bustle that can manifest is the summer months.

The neighborhood is mostly made up of retirees whose adult children now bring their own young families to enjoy the lake—creating a warm, multigenerational community that feels both welcoming and timeless.

One of my favorite parts is the drive in: winding pastures and glimpses of the lake make it feel like a hidden gem. It’s the best of both worlds—serene and scenic, but close to everything you need... oh, and the roads are plowed year-round!

What makes this property unique

Our cottage was designed with families in mind—from the gently sloping lawn and sandy beach that's perfect for kids, to the spacious layout with both shared gathering areas and separate zones for parents and children. Set on a quiet, private bay on 3 Mile Lake, it’s ideal for swimming, kayaking, and lakeside fun in the summer.

In the fall and winter, it transforms into a cozy retreat—complete with a fireplace, comfy couches, and a hot tub for unwinding after days spent exploring Muskoka’s trails or enjoying the snow.

The cottage blends classic Muskoka charm outside with a clean, Scandinavian-inspired interior—designed by my mother and sisters, both interior designers. The open-concept main space offers stunning floor-to-ceiling lake views, perfect for connecting as a family.

Fully renovated and equipped with modern comforts like Starlink internet, a drilled well, a backup generator, and a finished basement, it’s a year-round escape that combines rustic charm with the convenience of modern amenities.
