We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation here despite the couple of rainy days we had. The large floating dock was awesome and had one of the nicest ladders into the water that we have seen. The large deck on the cottage was an added bonus too with lots of room for bbqing, eating, kids playing, and various sitting spaces for reading or sitting enjoying the view of the lake. The kitchen also was one of the better stocked ones we have seen for pots and pans, utensils, appliances, etc. The outside shower was a unique experience which brought a few laughs throughout our week. The cottage owner/hostess, Rosemary, was wonderful to correspond with and always so prompt in her replies and most helpful. Thank you to the Durnik’s for sharing this great vacation spot!

Beautiful hikes with great viewpoints or forest atmospheres can be reached in < 30 min drive. We enjoyed the walks at Torrance Barrens, Huckleberry Point, and Hardy Lake Trail (don’t forget the bug spray!!!). The hazelwood trail in Port Carling was less interesting

All was good during our week's stay at this home on 3 mile lake. Quiet neighborhood, great lake views. We caught a couple of fish off of the pier, but better fishing can be accessed by boat. Owners were very nice and accommodating. Recommended.

This cottage provided a great place for my family to play, swim, boat, and relax! Who needs wifi when this cottage has all the movies you could ever want to watch! Board games too many to mention! You know we had a good time when we were all sad to leave. Muskoka…a piece of heaven.

We such an amazing time at Rosemary's cottage on Three Mile Lake. The cottage was spacious, clean and well-equipped. We loved spending time on the huge deck, and loved that it was gated for safety. The dock was perfect for the kids to jump from into the lake. We also enjoyed a campfire and all of the various watercraft. Rosemary was very helpful when we had questions and always answered very quickly. We hope to return again someday!!

I was totally impressed with how well the kitchen was equipped and organized. The deck and the view of looking down the lake was beautiful and the stars at night where spectacular. I liked the outdoor shower but others didn't like the bugs and spiders. Might consider cleaning that aspect up. Other than that I say would certainly like to rent again.

My family had a great vacation at this property. The owner was very responsive and the cottage was clean. We enjoyed fires by the lake (firewood provided), canoe rides, sun rises, unlimited movies for rainy days, the owners recommendation to a local waterfall and swimming area. Thanks again for having us!

We just returned from Heaven in Muskoka and our stay was perfect. We were 4 adults and 6 children. There was more than enough space for everyone. No one felt they were stumbling on others. The cottage is quaint and well appointed. The kitchen had all the supplies we forgot to bring - spices, aluminum foil, dishes, Tupperware, etc. All the appliances were in great condition. Both living room spaces were great. We had a few rainy/game days. There were lots of games provided too!
Although the kids chose not to sleep in the bunkie they enjoyed hanging out there as their “kids only” space. There were lots of fans in the cottage. We brought a few of our own (which came in handy as we had some extremely hot days).
The outside of the property was picture perfect. The dock has visible wear but was perfect for use. Some floaties/flutter boards/pool noodles were available however we brought lots of our own as well. The area close to the dock is rocky! Bring acquasocks if you can! About 5 feet out from the dock is beautiful deep water. The water was so warm and so beautiful.
The fire pit was perfect. Stumps and chairs around for seating!
Port Carling, Bala and Bracebridge are very close by for groceries and (of course) ice cream!
Communication with owner Rosemary was excellent! She answered all our questions and made sure everything was just perfect!

My family had a great time at this cottage in August. It is well suited for a family with young children (we have 3 children under the age of 5) since: a) there is access to shallow water; b) the cottage is on gently sloping land (rather than on a steep drop like many other Muskoka cottages); and c) there were some toys for the children at the cottage.
My favourite part of the cottage was the “rock dock”. It is a very nice place to sit or lie down and relax by the water. I also loved the fact that the cottage has two large outdoor speakers connected to a stereo that made it possible for us to play music outside.
We spent a lot of time in the evenings watching movies and tv shows using the harddrive. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of movies to choose from, most of which were recent.
I should comment on the swimming area since the owner’s description of the cottage does not provide a lot of information about this. The entrance to the water area is almost beach like in that it starts out extremely shallow and gradually gets deeper, and that the bottom of the lake is sandy (there were no weeds in the swimming area). A large rock separates the shallow area from slightly deeper water. This rock is almost as high as the surface of the water, and was useful in keeping our young children out of the deeper water. On the deeper side of the rock, the water is about 3-3.5 feet deep. On this deeper side, the bottom of the lake is a little bit rocky (still weed free) but I did not mind the rocks as they were easy to walk on. As a whole, it was a very nice place to swim.
The cottage itself was clean, comfortable and well stocked. One thing it is missing is an indoor shower (there is an indoor bath). The only shower is an outdoor (but private) shower located under the deck. Some people will like the outdoor shower, as there is something nice about taking a shower outside with a lake view. However, it may not be for everyone. For those who would prefer to not shower outside, they could instead take a bath.

We had a great week in July, spending time relaxing, canoeing, dining al fresco, and catching the sun on the deck and dock. We found the cottage with ease, and soon discovered that the pictures in the listing are bang-on accurate. The cottage is charming, with a comfortable living room, a well-stocked kitchen, lots of sleeping space, and the massive deck has great views out to the lake. There is a rather unique outdoor shower, with direct views out to the lake. Potable water is provided from a water cooler, as the plumbing supplies water directly from the lake.
The waterfront tends to be calm, and you can enter the lake from either the dock or the nearby rock slope. An early sunrise was peaceful and beautiful, with only jumping fish and ducks disturbing the calm water.
The property is well maintained with lots of plants and flowers. Rosemary asks that you help water to water the garden, but Mother Nature did her part for us - thankfully during the night. If a lakeside fire is not to your liking, there is a large HDTV with a large collection of movies and TV shows on a hard drive to watch.
Rosemary provided lots of information about the area, and using her directions we found a spectacular waterfall on a river from a nearby lake. We also paddled in the provided canoe to the river exiting our own lake, where we found another beautiful waterfall.
Heaven in Muskoka is cottage-life epitomized, and this property lives up to its name.
