Private Muskoka cottage on 5 acres with 300 ft of waterfront

Oaken point cottage is located on the north shore of 3 Mile Lake in the heart of the Muskokas. Nestled on five acres, the cottage features an open concept kitchen, living room, bathroom, 3 bedrooms and a Muskoka room. Both the living room and Muskoka room open onto a large deck with picnic table and BBQ. This is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy an early morning coffee or a family meal at the end of a busy day. A separate bunkie can accommodate visiting family or friends. With 300 ft of private waterfront to enjoy, it is a welcome retreat from life in the city.

The property boasts a large, gently sloping lawn that is perfect for children to play on. It would also be the ideal place to challenge family members and friends to a friendly game of volleyball, badminton or croquet. At the end of the lawn are two mulch pathways. One pathway leads to a small inlet that’s perfect for fishing while the other pathway leads to the fire pit and gorgeous rocky point with dock.

If you would like to bring your own boat, there’s room on the dock. The boat launch is located at Inverness Tent and Trailer park, 1.5 km down the road for a minimal fee. Windermere (5 km) has a boat launch and boat rentals, if you would like to spend the day exploring Lake Rousseau.

Swimming, fishing, hiking and biking are just some of the activities you can enjoy while taking a break from city life. Relaxing by the water reading a book, sunbathing on the dock or an early morning yoga session are also great ways to spend an hour or the whole day. Exploring the lake by kayak or boat will offer hours of family fun. At night, roast marshmallows, sing songs, tell stories and watch fireworks from the lakeside fire pit - wood provided.

For the golf enthusiasts in the family, Windermere Golf and Country Club is merely minutes away. Alternatively, Diamond in the ruff golf course is a short 10-15 min drive down the road.

Shopping can be found in the quaint and picturesque towns of Port Carling, Huntsville, Bracebridge and Lake Rousseau. All towns listed are within a 30 minute radius of the cottage, with Port Carling being the closest.

Cottage is available for rent June 1st - September 30

Thanks for a relaxing week!
We loved that we could relax in seclusion away from the lake when we wanted some downtime and that there were spaces within the cottage where you could get some solo time. Plenty of opportunities to hang with the whole family and enjoy the area too! Thanks, Jeanine!

End of summer getaway
Beautiful property and delightful cottage. Owners made check in a breeze and made us feel right at home. Only downside to the stay was the lake - blue/green alge had been confirmed. We rented a property on the lake so we could enjoy time in the water without having to travel. Unfortunately, this wasnt disclosed to us and, we werent able to enjoy the lake as we'd hoped. We ended up having to go to nearby towns/beaches to enjoy our time. Had we known, we would not had rented this property as the water access/use was a major factor for renting this unit The dock was beautiful and, we enjoyed the views along with lakeside fires. Kids thought the deer coming through the yard while we relaxed on the deck was amazing! They also loved having their own space in the bunkie.

Peaceful retreat
Very peaceful cottage. We enjoyed seeing all the different wildlife that ventured through the property. The cottage had everything you'd need for a peaceful stay. The owners were very upfront with the poor internet connection, this for us was perfect! Definitely wonderful to unplug from everything. By the dock the internet was strong, so if you wanted to access something online that's a great spot. Overall we had a great time! Lots of fun and many memories:)

Great cottage, great location
This is a clean, well-kept cottage in a great location. Nice swimming and wonderful views. Cottage is well maintained. Deck is massive. Access to the water is through a great little walk through the forest (220 steps from the cottage). Great fire pit overlooking the lake view. Top notch all around.

Great dock and waterfront!
Really enjoyed the dock area, firepit and kayaks! Nice and quiet, no loud partiers around. For a relaxing, quiet holiday it's a great choice! And the hosts were wonderful to deal with.

Rustic Muskoka Charm
This is our second stay in this lovely cottage. Very roomy and comfortable. Kitchen is very well equipped. The setting is beautiful, with a large lawn bordered by dense forest. The bedrooms are a good size and there is a very pretty Muskoka room at one end. We especially enjoyed shopping at the Taylor Berry Farm at the corner of North Shore Road and Dee Bank, which stocks groceries as well as fruit and veg. Vacationers who want a traditional Muskoka cottage experience will enjoy staying.
