Guest access
Guests will be provided a key upon their arrival. This cottage is a stand alone building and has private access for guests. You have the freedom to move around and explore the property at you leisure.
Interaction with guests
Our family home is located on this property and we are available as needed. We prefer to be on-hand for the pizza oven preparation as it takes a few hours to get the fire burning hot enough to heat the oven.
The neighbourhood
We are 75 minutes east of downtown Toronto, backing onto the Ganaraska Forest, steps away from Brimacombe/Oshawa Sky Club and minutes from the Garanaraka Treetop Trekking and Forest Trails. We are also in close proximity to the spectacular Cobourg beach, the heritage community of Port Hope with it's waterfront trails and just north of us is the Peterborough & the Kawartas where you will find a great mix of city and country living.
