About this property

Luxury Log Home, Southern Georgian Bay - Explore Blue Mountain to Tobermory

Highland House sits beautifully above the shores of Georgian Bay on 7 private acres of forest and manicured grounds. The estate property’s 500 ft. driveway leads to exquisitely appointed gardens and hardscape that surround the 3500 sq. ft. custom built modern log home.

With five bedrooms, a living room with a gas fireplace, an inviting kitchen and dining area, a media room and spa, Highland House offers couples and families a superior year-round retreat to rejuvenate and explore.

The two-level deck and new 9 person, salt water Arctic Spa hot tub overlook the property’s fire pit and are complimented by a Canadian Western Cedar indoor sauna provide a spa-like atmosphere to unwind and reconnect.

A chef’s inspired outdoor kitchen and a professional gas fueled stone pizza oven along with produce and herbs from the vegetable garden will ensure memorable evenings spent with family and friends around the deck’s harvest table followed by board games and movie nights on the 82 inch TV screen in the lower level’s media room.

Highland House provides easy access to all of southern Georgian Bay’s amenities and attractions. Hiking on the Bruce Trail, golfing, mountain biking, rock climbing, fishing along with ski and snowmobile trails are at your doorstep and are surrounded by Grey County’s 8 picturesque waterfalls.

Pack a picnic and visit the area’s secluded or more popular beaches or take a drive into Collingwood or up the Bruce Peninsula to Tobermory. With a boat launch 5 minutes away, explore Georgian Bay by water or paddle on local rivers through the countryside. Wineries, cideries, breweries, arts, culture, music and culinary events, festivals and fall fairs can all be found throughout the area’s historic towns and villages. Fine dining and take away restaurants along with local shopping are all nearby.

For a long weekend, a week or monthly rental, Highland House offers a memorable experience that will heighten all of your senses.

Highland House is cleaned to the highest quality standards and the hot tub and sauna are professionally treated between guests. Gardening and home maintenance take place weekly.

Linens have been purchased through William Sonoma and Pottery Barn and furniture and beds are new.

This was our 5th visit to the Highland House and it did not disappoint. Being greeted by Annette is always a pleasure. Communication with our hosts David and Pauline is outstanding. The property is stunning, with multiple areas to sit and relax, rain or shine. The home is warm and cozy with comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen and every amenity you could ask for, plus hot tub, sauna, pizza oven! We look forward to returning again and again for our annual girls wknd! Many thanks to our wonderful hosts!

Relax and unwind

The cottage is very cozy and yet very spacious. The bedrooms are large and have very comfortable beds and bedding. The patio has a large bbq, pizza oven and hot tub. The sauna in the basement heats up in 20 minutes and is easy to operate. Walking trails are plentiful and nearby. If you are looking to relax, rent this place.

Weekend Getaway

My sister and our partners found the Highland House and it was the perfect location and retreat for a weekend away. The house is cozy and has everything you need. We took advantage of the sauna and hot tub. We were greeted by the property manager and she showed us around the house and was great with our dogs. A very thoughtful welcome basket was waiting for us full of local eats and beverages. This house has everything you need to have the best time away!

Perfect

Of course! Here’s a polished VRBO review you can post:---We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Highland House in Meaford! Our group of six had plenty of space and every amenity we could possibly need — the hosts have truly thought of everything. The property itself is beautiful, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The welcome basket was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel immediately at home. Our host was extremely responsive, kind, and made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. If I could give 15/10 stars, I absolutely would. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing girls getaway

We just stayed for a 3 night weekend getaway to celebrate our friends 50th birthday. It was an amazing location. The home and grounds were so beautiful. The home had everything we needed for a relaxing time; catching up with and celebrating our friendship! From the hot tub, to the sauna, pizza in the outdoor pizza oven, games and reading by the fire, we could not have asked for a better place. Annette met us onsite, was very welcoming and gave a tour of the property. The owner David, was easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. Home was very clean and lots of towels were provided. Beds were comfy! We can not wait to return again and making it a yearly destination.

About the host

Hosted by David and Pauline

Host profile image
Highland House was purchased as a gathering place for generations of family and their friends to connect and to retreat from city living, even for a short time, in order to share experiences that are rooted in nature. Inspired by surroundings reminiscent of the Scottish highlands, Highland House is a touchstone to the owners’ ancestral connections to land and sea.
