Peaceful and gorgeous

I surprised some friends visiting from the UK with a weekend at Westwind cottage, and we all loved it from the moment we pulled in. Beautiful location, perched right over the water. The stars are incredible. Sauna, canoes, paddle boards, kayaks, huge decks, swimming dock, fire pit, plus all the comforts of a well-loved family cottage. Very quiet at night and feels quite remote, but with friendly neighbours a 10-minute canoe ride down the bay. Paul was so helpful and made our stay really nice.

Fantastic holiday!

We loved this cottage! It's spacious, comfortable and equipped with all you could possibly need. The location is beautiful and swimming amazing. We made great use of the paddle boards and kayaks to explore Twelve Mile Bay. The owner, Paul, was quick to answer questions/offer great suggestions. Highly recommend!

Quintessential Canadian Experience

We were looking for a wilderness experience without sacrificing comfort. Our stay at the Westwind did not disappoint. The Westwind cottage is built into and around the natural features of a rustic shoreline. The rock, water and trees are integrated into the construction and build of this cottage. The cottage overhangs the shoreline and provides an infinite attachment to the water of 12 Mile Bay. Our family loves the water, and this was a real treat. The steps and walk paths leading from one structure to another, i.e., (bunk house, sauna, firepit, docks tree house, cottage, etc.) are scribed into and incorporate the granite boulders and trees. There is even a granite boulder that intentionally protrudes into the living room of the cottage! The property itself, sits at the end of a sparsely traveled lane, and road traffic noise, is non-existent. The quiet privacy of and expansive shoreline provided the stress free, relaxing getaway we were seeking. The cottage interior and furnishings we and charming. The large single paned windows provide long views and provide ample natural light. Our goal was to disconnect from the outside world. We brought enough food for our entire stay, swam off the dock, read books and paddled the bay. If you appreciate the beauty of Georgian Bay, you will appreciate this cottage. The host, Paul P. was friendly, accommodating and attentive. We will be booking again.

Great overall

The cabin was cute and the surroundings were very pleasant. Had some issue with water pump not working properly but the owner had good communication and the issue was fixed after half a day.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Pelton

Hi there, I'm second generation, and my kids third at this wonderful place. My parents built the cottage, I grew up here and my family are carrying on the tradition. Thank you for your interest in staying here. We welcome guests to this special part of Georgian Bay. The cottage runs parallel to the water and sits overtop of the shore. Each window has a view of the bay. We are at one with the water and nature here and have a private bay beside us and connect to open water and Georgian Bay in a few paddle strokes or minutes by sail or motor boat. The water is crystal clear, great for swimming, from the two beaches, one of the 2 new docks, out to the raft. Plenty of fishing, snorkling, paddle boarding, sailing, canoe and kayaking. Easily accessible provincial and national parks nearby for exploring and enjoying. Let me know how we can make your stay fantastic. Paul
