Elysium is located in the exclusive 'Purgatory Cove' waterfront neighbourhood in Whiskey Harbour, Ontario, Canada. It is characterized by larger Cape Cod style seasonal homes on larger lot sizes. It makes-up part of Whiskey Harbour-Hobsons Harbour-Spry Shores areas. Often referred to by the locals as an area for the well-healed, as of 2023 it is the most affluent neighbourhood in the Pike Bay area as donated by property values with an average dwelling value of +10% vs the remainder of the area.

Although "Purgatory Cove" is in fact the name of the cove in the area, the term generally applies to the neighbourhood as a whole. It refers to the collective of a few larger recreational properties bordering the Cove itself - a sought after location due to its cove protection from the full force of Lake Huron, a major issue of residents further south and along the coastline facing shoreline erosion and poor swimming. Few roads pass through the area, contributing to the area's exclusivity. It is a secluded neighbourhood, surrounded a mixture of foliage, flora and fauna.

Enter Elysium and immediately feel the stress leave your body. The jaw-dropping open concept great room with vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and real wood burning fireplace is the perfect refuge for anyone.

The contemporary design and open concept allows for any family and friends gathering unlike any other location. Enjoy the fully stocked and beautiful kitchen and island with direct access to the great room. The great room floor-to-ceiling windows were perfectly positioned to capture the gorgeous Lake Huron Sunsets.

The modern open-concept kitchen is equipped with all the appliances you need, coffee machines, a fridge for longer stays, and plenty of counter space for meal preparation or cocktail hour. It's perfect for both cooking up a feast and entertaining with the entire family and with your friends. A beautiful island overlooking the kitchen to enjoy a nice glass of wine, craft beer, coffee or beverage of choice.

Adjacent to the kitchen, there's direct access to the waterfront deck with an outdoor dining area with stunning views of Purgatory Cove and Lake Huron. It's the ideal spot for enjoying meals while enjoying the water vistas. The lot is so large and private, their are two locations to have a year-round bonfire. The exclusivity of Purgatory Cove is evident by the view of the other massive cottages lining the shoreline, further away then in other locations in Whiskey Harbour so you can enjoy relaxing without worrying about neighbours.

The master bedroom features a king-sized bed with premium linens and direct access to the upper loft bathroom. It also has its own independent work station if you are working during your vacation, and plenty of storage. The view from outside the master is absolutely breathtaking. It is large enough to suit royalty.

Enjoy multiple spaces to play games, relax or escape to your own private solitude. Open the windows in summer to allow the beautiful Purgatory Cove lake breezes to blow through.

A cozy cottage steps from the cove
We loved our long weekend at the cottage. The location is beautiful, I can only imagine what it's like in the summer. There are many windows that let you enjoy the view and relax with a glass of wine or cup of coffee. The stargazing is mesmerizing... Despite having our hands full with 4 small children we managed to relax and decompress from our busy schedules, that's how cozy it is. There is everything you may need to relax - comfy couches, king sized beds for the adults, bunk beds for the kids, a fireplace, a TV, a fire pit outside. The kitchen is equipped with everything and more (including blenders and multiple coffee makers!). Lion's Head is a 15 min drive away. I just want to leave a few notes - if you're into board games and such you may want to bring a few things. There were cards and quite a few toys for babies and toddlers, but we brought some of our own things after checking with the property team. They mention to bring water and please do, it's just easier than driving to get more. While there is a water cooler and there were two extra jugs for guests, we still had to get two more for the 8 of us. Overall 5 STARS and we will be back in the summer.
