About the host

Hosted by Graham Barker

Host profile image
We've been on this beach for decades. Graham grew up at the nearby family cottage in Big Bay during his childhood summers. Karina grew up with the beaches of the Pacific Ocean in her native Chile. We're cool. And we love the water. If you don't yet know why, you might when you leave...either in it, beside it or just looking at nature's ebb and flow with our ever-changing "big weather".

Why they chose this property

When you arrive you'll understand!

What makes this property unique

A unique architect-designed building built with an "eco-modernist" aesthetic that reflects the local vernacular design of typical old-school cottages built in the '50s. Two cabins each with bunkies under 1 roof all on our huge covered deck space. Overlooks our friends' beautiful harbour, beaches and Georgian Bay bluewater!!
