About this property

Barrie North Retreat - Quiet and Friendly

Welcome to your home away from home!

After a day at the beach, park, ski hills, work, golf course or just sightseeing, there's nothing better than to sink into the big comfy couch or bed and unwind.

This sun-filled unit is entirely private, and the master bedroom has access to a large enclosed deck to enjoy the sunshine and each other's company.

Self check in/out is available beginning at 4pm via code or app.

We’re firm believers in upcycling and ecofriendliness - from the hutch doubling as a dresser, to the covered couch that will envelop you to the Brita pitcher and coffee maker, we want our place to have all of the creature comforts of home while being impeccably clean!

Run down property
Deeply disappointed in the cleanliness, the musty smell and out dated and mismatched furniture. The kitchen is a disaster whereby only one appliance at a time can be used. How exactly is one supposed to boil the kettle or make coffee and toast at the same time? The shower is completely disgusting with old discoloured grout and the garden advertised to be pet friendly isn't even fenced in! In addition, there is a man living in the basement who shares the driveway who you don't find out about until you get there! Aren't VRBOs supposed to be the entire house?

Great launching point for Barrie area winter fun
We spent the family day weekend here with our family of 3 kids. Tash’s place was great. Clean, quiet and perfect for a winter get away. Tash was very friendly and in communication with us right from the point of reservation to check out. Highly recommend. Perfect launching point for skiing, skating and everything in between. Thanks Tash!
