Stunning Waterfront Cottage & Bunkie!

Beautiful 2-bedroom Cottage plus 1-bedroom Bunkie on Georgian Bay! Located in a quiet area with a private beach! In the summer the lake is perfect for swimming! Just bring water shoes as there can be rocks and zebra muscles. We have a two-person kayak, perfect for a day out on the water. In the evening, curl up by the outdoor fire pit, roast marshmallows and enjoy the amazing sunsets! It is the perfect place for a summer getaway! Please note this cottage is Pet Free.

This space is unique as it has its own private beach but is also perfectly situated next to Magnus Beach, which is another beautiful place to enjoy the sun and the sand!

The main cottage is complete with a full kitchen, 1 bathroom and 2 bedrooms (master bedroom with a queen bed, other bedroom has a double bed). Forced air A/C and heat make it comfortable all year round. And in the winter cozy up by the gas fireplace! Wifi (with a Chromecast to the TV), Satellite TV and a DVD player are available. A full deck provides spectacular views to watch the sunset. Board games are also available. The kitchen is equipped with a full fridge, coffee maker, microwave, toaster and other small kitchen appliances. A natural gas operated bbq is available, as well as a fire pit by the lake. Sheets, pillows and bath towels are also provided. Bring your own beach towels!

The Bunkie is situated right next to the main cottage. It is a 1 bedroom suite with a full bathroom and kitchenette. In the beautifully renovated bunkie, you will have access to Air-conditioning, a tv with DVD player and a small living area.

Please note some walls in the main cottage do not go all the way to the ceiling. Therefore, sound does travel between rooms.

Water equipment is to be used at your own risk.

Dear guests and potential guests,

*Note About the Beach* - Georgian Bay water levels can change drastically from one year to another. As of 2024, the water level is quite low, which means the beach area is larger and it has a gradual entry. Should the water level rise, we also have a large grassy area by the water. If the water levels are higher during your stay, you may not see the beach. However, there is a sandy public beach less than a minute's walk away from the cottage called Magnus Park.

The maximum number of guests allowed on the property at any given time is 6. Please do not bring any additional guests during your stay. Our septic system doesn't allow it. Should it be found that there are more than 6 people on the property, you will be charged extra and may be asked to leave.

The tap water is not drinkable. However, we will provide a water dispenser with water for you to drink.

Absolutely no parties allowed. Out of respect for the neighbours, please keep noise to a minimum between 10 pm - 8 am daily.

Absolutely no dogs or pets are permitted due to allergies. If it is found that you have brought a pet, you will be charged a $300 cleaning fee because the family that uses the property is highly allergic.

Any watercraft on site is to be used at your own discretion. We will not be held liable for any incidents resulting in the use of onsite water equipment. It is the user's responsibility to be aware of weather conditions, watercraft rules and any local laws associated with the use of the equipment.

Not for the elderly, mobility challenged or visually challenged
The cottage was well decorated and clean, aside from dirty dishes in cupboard. Beautiful view, , However some of the neighbors loud ,all very very close, floors were uneven with different levels between dinning room and living room , not a standard stair height but a 4 inch step which was between living room and dinning area but also in-between bed room and rest of cottage making it extremely dangerous for middle of night washroom trips. Also a lip /gap between kitchen and rest of cottage. The exit to deck was also an irregular height throwing off ones balance entering and exiting. the bunky was lovely with an even floor .However stairs up to it were very steep making it not a good option either. My husband had 3 falls while we stayed leading to bruised ribs and a painful drive home, he is still recovering. The oak tree over the deck was full of acorns ,being pelted down by the squirls non stop leaving bruises , and more dangerously rolling under foot even though we swept 3-4 times a day. The host was lovely and quick to respond very nice person. Great local as per views and water access but not recommended for any one with mobility issues. Or use to quiet.

Short Time but a Good Time
Nice clean place with lots of room. Would help sleeping arrangements if there were 3 separate beds. Water was clean and nice to swim in. The water is really shallow for a good distance so this would be ideal for families with young swimmers. I would recommend this place to anybody. In my opinion, some more leeway can be given for either a earlier check-in or later check-out.
