Description
Get away from it all in style -
A gorgeous, artistic home on waterfront property available to discerning holidaymakers.
Four bedroom house with private grounds, on beautiful Georgian Bay, 2 hours' drive north of Toronto.
We have 15 + years experience renting to discrete, comfort seeking vacationers. The spacious house has 4 double bedrooms, each decorated with real art, the inviting beds made up with egyptian cotton linens and custom comforters.
The cottage is in a private community with 4 large parks and walking trails, and four beaches for use only by members of the community. There is also a lovely sandy public beach a short drive ( or bike ride! ) away.
Jump out of bed and wade into the refreshing waters of Georgian Bay, try the sea kayaks , or bicycle to a nearby farm for fresh eggs and natural honey, or horseback riding!
At mealtimes you can BBQ on the beach firepit, or on the outdoor gas grill, and dine outside , while admiring the sunset - a different spectacular show each evening!
If you happen to get the odd rainy day, indulge in the room-for-2 steam shower or soak in the antique clawfoot bathtub. Or dig through the collection of old vinyl LP's and use the record player,. There is also an extensive library of books.
The property is surrounded by trees making it very private, There are different nooks and crannies to tuck yourself away into, with hammocks, benches or loungers, or the swing, where you can sit with you book and your gin and tonic.
Oh! And something to note - very few mosquitos visit us! Probably because of our location with a gentle breeze off the water.

“Relaxing escape to Georgian Bay”
We had a great family New Years at the Dacha. The kitchen was well equipped and the steam shower was very relaxing. We had a nice bonfire by the shore on New Years day.

Response from the owner I am glad you had a good time! I love winter at the Dacha - the lake is so dramatic and the peace and quiet is wonderful. I hope you also enjoyed sitting by the wood stove in the house!

“Nice gateway”
Relaxing stay. Cottage was clean, cute and all essential where available. Perfect weather to enjoy the sun. Aside from the rocky beach and mosquitoes the cottage was perfect.

Response from the owner thanks! Fascinatingly, water levels on Georgian Bay were way up this year after years of decline. As a result of this, the waves threw up a lot of small rocks onto our formerly sandy beach! We spent the fall experimenting with removing the rocks ( no small task ) only to find that the next big storm converted the beach into rocky again.
