About the host
Hosted by Jon Conway
My story began across the pond in England, but the call of the Canadian wilderness brought me here years ago to work and explore. I immediately fell in love with the landscape, the pace of life, and the rugged beauty of this country, eventually deciding to make Canada my permanent home.
Today, life is a beautiful, busy adventure. My wife and I are kept on our toes by our two young kids and our dog, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We thrive on an active lifestyle - you’ll usually find us outdoors, whether we’re exploring local trails, enjoying the lake, or just soaking in the fresh air together.
We decided to become hosts because we believe that some of the best memories are made when you’re able to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with the people who matter most. We wanted to share our unique property with others, offering a space where you can create your own wonderful family memories, just as we do. We are thrilled to welcome you to our sanctuary and hope you enjoy the serenity of Harmony Lane as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it perfectly captures the spirit of cottage living without the sacrifice of convenience. We fell in love with the natural beauty here - the lush, peaceful forest and the calm waterfront create an immediate sense of escape. For our own family, the beach was the deciding factor; it offers a gentle, safe shoreline where we can relax and watch the kids play worry-free. While it feels wonderfully remote and tranquil, we love that the town of Parry Sound is just a short drive away. It gives us the luxury of unplugging and reconnecting with nature, while still having quick access to every necessity and convenience whenever we need it.
What makes this property unique
Our property is unique because it offers total privacy on a massive scale. With 14+ acres to call your own, you can truly disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature, whether you're hiking the trails or watching the local deer population wander through the forest. Yet, you don't have to choose between 'rugged' and 'fun.' Our pavilion serves as the heart of the property, we have a dedicated space that gives you the freedom of a wilderness lodge with the unexpected luxury of an outdoor cinema, all just minutes away from the conveniences of Parry Sound.
