About the host
Hosted by Matt and Heather
We grew up as avid campers and cottagers, taking on many summer and winter escapades around Canada. North Simcoe and Muskoka, however, have always held a special place in our hearts. During our all Canadiana vacations, we've made memories boating, skiing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, picnicking, and lounging around on beaches in Georgian Bay and surrounding area.
We’ve enjoyed every type of getaway, from rustic cottages to refined resorts, but it was hard to find it all in one place. So we decided to create an unforgettable, resort-like experience on Royal Island, in the heart of Canada’s cottage country.
Why they chose this property
We want to give you the same joy we’ve relished during our Canadian vacations. We love Canadian nature and how it inspires us, and we now share these passions with our sons.
We hope you will be excited by our love for the outdoors and will revel in this exclusive wellness and resort-style retreat, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
What makes this property unique
We intentionally planned Driftaway Lakehouse for luxury and comfort. As the proud owner of Sketch Design Build Inc., a custom home design firm, I've used my decades of experience to instill the holiday spirit into this holiday home. We have put extra care and attention into crafting a complete getaway experience you will remember forever.
