Cozy retreat in stunning paradise

This was probably the nicest cottage I’ve stayed at. The landscape, located on an island, was serene and stunning. The layout of the cottage was intelligent, and the wood burning stove enhanced the coziness of the space. I will definitely go back in the future!

A great host wand a great private stay!

Everything was great and cottage was fully stocked with everything we needed. Host was great with communication. The shoreline does not lend itself to young children but we knew that going in. Would recommend to frroends and family.

Georgian Bay Haven

A beautiful location on a small point, and a cottage that met all of our needs. You don't have to leave the cottage property to enjoy wildlife and nature all around you even before boating to see more of the Georgian Bay area. Really enjoyed our stay, despite all sorts of weather! Thanks for opportunity to share this treasure!

Amazing Cottage on Georgian Bay

This cottage is absolutely stunning. The cottage itself is very comfortable and has all the necessities. It has great porch with beautiful views overlooking the water. If looking for a getaway on Georgian Bay would highly recommend it. Host was very quick to respond and help coordinate the visit.
