Welcome to our beautiful 3 season vintage cottage in scenic muskoka, ontario on Six Mile Lake!

Bright, airy and spacious with lake front views, this cottage has an ideal set up for a family, couples or friends looking for a quiet getaway. The main floor is open concept with high vaulted ceilings, propane fireplace and lake views through large windows. An outdoor fire pit is available on the crib dock for roasting marshmallows, with several Muskoka chairs available for taking in the views from sunrise to sunset. Deep water off the dock is ideal if you want to "go jump in the lake," as well as a separate raft with slide.

This property is a great location, the host was great and very responsive. There was a lot available to use, such as a paddle boat and a water slide. Overall, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Amazing cottage around Six Mile Lake

We were really glad to have found this property, and really enjoyed our weekend there. The cottage itself is really cosy and had everything we needed. The location and access to the water was the highlight for us. We really enjoyed the large deck area and the fire pit (perfect for star gazing)! Cathy and Bryan were super communicative and helpful! Thank you for a great stay.

Beautiful Property, Convenient Location

The cottage is located right on the lake, with a large dock and deck area that is perfect for hanging out with friends. The water immediately in front of the dock is reedy but good swimming can still be had a few metres beyond. The water slide and fire pit were nice touches, as were the outdoor speakers. All were put to good use during our stay. The kitchen was very well stocked. The Napoleon barbeque was a high performer. We didn't want for anything in that department. The property is located only a few minutes' drive from Highway 400, so was quite easy to access. Overall, we had a really great stay!

Comfy Cottage

My family and I spent a weekend at this cottage. Kathy, the host was very kind and easy to communicate with. The cottage was nice, cozy and comfortable for our family of 5 adults. It also had a Bunkie for extra sleeping space, for at least 2 - 4 more people. The only issue we had was the very long, steep stair case leading from the parking spot down to the cottage. It is not for the faint of heart especially when carrying luggage, coolers etc. Suggest that you bring towels for swimming/shower. All in all its a nice place to spend time with family and friends.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Ferri

Host profile image
I am a mom, an artist, and a scientist with a love of the Muskokas! My husband and I were lucky enough to find this lakefront grandfathered property that was originally built in the early 1900's. The beams are original, as is the crib dock! Previously, one would have to use the stairs to access the cottage, making this a historical gem on this gorgeous lake (in fact, there are only two other similar properties left that are right on the lake....can you find them?)! We have salvaged as much as possible from the original property...water skis, fishing poles and a wood stove. Welcome to this nostalgic work in process!!!

Why they chose this property

Along with lake front activities, enjoy the cliff jump just down the lake, seasonal waterfalls everywhere, and the lost channel; a space with gorgeous turbulent falls, camping sites and access to the "lost lost" channel beyond. Many of these spots cannot be accessed with larger boats....they are truly part of the magic of Six Mile Lake.

What makes this property unique

Regardless of the season, there is so much beauty here. Enjoy the huge dock with friends, build a fire, visit the Wawatosa Marina for gourmet goodies and set up your playlist. Too cold to be outside? Snuggle in front of the fire with a glass of wine and some cards. This is the place to come to feel alive again.
