6BR, Hot Tub, Fireplace - Cozy Muskoka Lakeside Retreat

Cozy up this winter at Shea on the Bay, where star-filled nights in the hot tub and fireside evenings set the tone for a true Muskoka escape.

Inside, unwind on the plush sofa with Netflix, gather around board games, or prepare a memorable meal in the fully equipped kitchen, all framed by tranquil lake views.

The perfect winter retreat for creating lasting memories with family and friends.

Nik was an incredible host for us. Amazing and fast communication and was able to answer any questions we had. We stayed with 8 people, 2 small dogs and 2 infants and it was the perfect getaway.
