About this property

Walk to white sand private beach of Oakwood Park - 4 bed cottage steps to lake.

Welcome to The Big Chill, a relaxing retreat located within the exclusive private gated community of Oakwood Park on the shores of Lake Huron. Combining secluded tranquility with effortless access to local life, this is the ultimate destination for those seeking world-renowned sunsets and a classic cottage experience. Friday-Friday rental only.

The Location: Enjoy the best of both worlds. While you are nestled in a quiet, secure gated community, steps from the wide white sand private beach - a "secret" back access path puts you about 1km from the main strip. You can enjoy the peace of your private oasis and be at the local boutiques, cafes, and restaurants in minutes.

The Space Inside: The cottage boasts a large, sun-filled open-concept living and dining area + bonus space—the heart of the home. Whether you’re gathered around the table for a long brunch, lounging in the family room or reading in the sitting room, the space feels airy, bright, and deeply relaxing.

The Kitchen & Dining: The kitchen is fully equipped for easy cottage meals, featuring everything you need to whip up a summer feast. Enjoy your morning coffee indoors in the sun or head out to one of the many outdoor living spaces.

4 Thoughtful Bedrooms (Sleeps 8-9): We provide all linens and towels, so you can pack light and start your vacation the moment you arrive.

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed Main Level

Bedroom 2: Queen Bed 2nd Floor

Bedroom 3: 1 Double Bed + 1 Twin Bed (Perfect for families) 2nd Floor

Bedroom 4: 1 Double Bed 2nd Floor

Outdoor Living: The Big Chill truly shines outdoors with four distinct zones designed for every mood:

The Front Porch: Your morning sanctuary. Features a cozy daybed, comfortable chairs, and a propane fire table for evening cocktails without the smoke.

The Backyard: A private oasis for alfresco dining and afternoon naps in the loungers.

The Conversation Area: A dedicated outdoor spot perfect for late-night chats and stargazing.

The Wood-Burning Fire Pit (The Classic Experience): For those who love the nostalgic crackle of a real fire, head to our dedicated fire pit area. It’s the ultimate spot for roasting s'mores, sharing stories, strumming a guitar and soaking in the classic "cottage country" atmosphere under the stars.

Spend your days swimming in the fresh clear water of Lake Huron and your evenings witnessing the sunsets that have made this coastline famous.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Minielly

Host profile image
Our family has been calling Oakwood home for over 50 years, spanning three generations and counting. In 2024, we officially traded our Toronto city life to live here across the street full-time. We’ve watched our children live and grow in this community—including our daughter and son-in-law, who called The Big Chill home before moving just up the highway. With my parents also living nearby, Oakwood is truly the heart of our family. We are so excited to share our love for this special place by opening up our family-owned property for you to create your own memories.

Why they chose this property

Oakwood Park is more than just a location for us; it’s a lifetime of memories and friendships that have become as deep as family. Over the years, we’ve marked our most significant milestones here with a community that feels closer than kin. It’s the relaxed pace, the 'no-expectations' lifestyle, and the proximity to local gems that keep us here—not to mention those world-renowned sunsets. We invite you to step into this slower rhythm and experience the magic of the community we love so much.

What makes this property unique

Why You’ll Love "The Big Chill"

Gated Exclusivity: Located in a secure, private community for total peace of mind.

The "Secret" Path: Enjoy a quiet retreat with a hidden back access route that puts the main strip’s shops and cafes less than 1km away.

Private White Sand: Skip the crowds with steps-away access to a private, pristine stretch of Lake Huron’s famous shoreline.

Dual Fire Zones: Choose your vibe—a smoke-free propane fire table and daybed on the front porch, or a traditional wood-burning fire pit for classic s'mores.

50 Years of History: Family-owned and operated by locals who have lived in Oakwood for three generations. We live right across the street to ensure your stay is perfect!

True "Turn-Key" Vacation: Unlike many cottage rentals, we provide all linens and towels—just bring your beach bag and relax.

Sun-Drenched Living: A cosy, open-concept living and dining area designed specifically for group gatherings and "The Big Chill" lifestyle.
