Charlie the Cottage

Modern cottage with sunset views of Georgian Bay right on the paved Tay Shore Trail for running/biking/snowshoeing. Newly renovated from top to bottom!

Enjoy the 500 sqft deck with year round Hot Tub, BBQ and patio table. Fire pit in the backyard.

The house is on a large lot surrounded by evergreens for privacy. Across the trail you can access the water, 5 min walk to a sandy beach.

1.5hrs from Toronto, 30mins north of Barrie, 15mins to Mt St Louis

Moonstone for skiing.

​

Our cottage was recently completely renovated, with modern amenities including central heat and Air Conditioning, washer/dryer, a Hot Tub, big screen TV, high speed internet and Netflix. We brought the outdoors inside with pine walls and rustic decor while making sure you can stay as connected as you want.

Take in the stars at night from the hot tub or make s'mores around a campfire :)

The cottage has 3 bedrooms with double or queen beds and a great loft area with an additional bedroom. It is perfect for a couples getaway and a wonderful option for a vacation with friends or family, or both! There are activities nearby for people of all ages, or just get away from it all for a peaceful nature retreat.

The kitchen has gorgeous quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances (french door fridge, oven, stovetop, microwave and dishwasher) and features a kettle, toaster, Tassimo coffee maker (bring your own discs!), as well as sugar/oil/salt/pepper.

We provide clean bedding, towels, shampoo, body wash, soap, and toilet paper for all of our guests - just bring yourself and a few essentials!

The cottage is not waterfront, but you can access the water across the trail from the cottage, a few meters from the backyard. There you can take out a canoe - the canoe with lifejackets/paddles on the property belongs to the owners and is the be used at your own risk. A 5 min walk down the trail takes you to a cute little sandy beach on Georgian Bay. There are several additional beaches a short drive away.
