This property provides amazing accommodations in a beautiful and peaceful location. We loved having access to the canoe and kayak and the host was very helpful answering our questions. A boat is necessary to access this property and one should make sure they have the host lead them out so they're aware of the best path to take to avoid rocks and shallow areas in the water. Once you've arrived, a relaxing and memorable vacation is guaranteed.

As we approached this cottage from the water - we were immediately smitten. Perched on Georgian Bay rock, this cottage has everything you associate with the Canadian north.Three walls of windows provide sweeping panoramic views. We always felt connected to the outdoors even on cool and rainy days. It was wonderful to experience a dark night sky full of stars from inside as well as out.We had a campfire on the rocks by the flagpole metres from the bay every night and often started our mornings with a woodstove fire.Such privacy and seclusion. There are endless easy walks on ancient boulders to explore around the cottage and equally endless inlets to paddle.As for wildlife, Eagles, Hawks,Herons,Ravens,Vultures and numerous others as well as Great fishing.We will be back!
