About the host
Your host
This cottage has been in our family for generations, serving as a base for exploring the Bruce Trail and the local shoreline. Our time here has always been defined by a deep connection to the outdoors—whether hiking the bluffs, exploring the water, or gathering around a fire. We have a profound respect for this natural landscape and hope to help future generations develop that same appreciation. We’ve opened our home to guests who value a quiet, authentic connection to nature and are looking for a place to unplug. We invite you to enjoy the rugged beauty of the area and help us preserve it for the years to come
What makes this property unique
This spacious retreat is designed to accommodate large families comfortably, offering a blend of outdoor adventure and functional living. Outside, you can choose between two distinct spaces: a dedicated fire pit for gathering under the stars or a separate lounge area with chairs and coffee tables for a more relaxed morning. For the water, we provide two paddle-boards and two kayaks, including life jackets, to make exploring the shoreline easy. Kids will enjoy the sandy areas and shallow water. Inside, the home is well-equipped for hosting with a gas stove, plenty of dishes and a wine cooler to keep drinks chilled. Should the weather turn or the sun go down, the ping pong table offers a great indoor escape. It is an expansive space that provides everyone the room they need to enjoy the down time.
