Description from owner

Description

Step out the door to the gentle lapping shore of Pike Bay, a calm, clear and warm inlet of Lake Huron. This completely renovated cottage offers 3 bedrooms, open concept living and dining areas with large windows to enjoy the view. There is a new propane fireplace, four-piece bath, fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities.

Memory Bay, nestled in the quiet community of Pike Bay offers you a nature lover's retreat from your busy life. Enjoy watching the water and wildlife from the deck. Swim, kayak, challenge your family or friends to a game of bocce, enjoy a good book or wander down to the general store for an ice-cream cone. After a barbecue dinner on the deck (cottage rule: kids do the dishes!) you can unwind by the fire, make some s'mores and watch the stars. New this summer is the "Game Spot" in the garage you can enjoy air hockey, foosball and a mini basket ball game.

Or, if you prefer a little more activity, there is plenty to do nearby.

Bruce Peninsula offers some of the most amazing "Bruce Trail" hiking in Ontario. "The Grotto" at Bruce Peninsula National Park is a must see for adventurers!! (And a very cold dip in Georgian Bay if you are brave enough!!)

Just around the corner, Red Bay offers a sandy beach with a playground. Red Bay is also home to Earthbound Gardens where they specialize in lillies. They offer tours, yoga, music, workshops and wellness brunches.

Other places to visit include Wiarton for the quaint shops, candy store and the home of "Wiarton Willie" the albino weather-predicting ground hog; Lion's Head for access to the Bruce Trail, farmer's market, free Harbourside Music Concerts and the stunning views! (Can you see the lion's head?)

Golfers of all levels will enjoy the Wiarton Golf Club for its nine holes and absolutely stunning views of Georgian Bay. For a more challenging course try Northern Dunes in Hepworth.

We hope you will also enjoy the comfort of the cottage:
Three bedrooms, sleeps 8 comfortably. (Note: the street-side door enters into one of the bedrooms) . There are a variety of board games, DVD's and books for you (sorry, no cable or internet.) The kitchen is fully equipped including microwave and the cottage essential- a blender. The washroom includes a tub/shower combination. The laundry room has a washer and dryer.
