Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our snowy long weekend getaway during which we were supremely warm and comfortable relaxing inside the cottage with the ample room proportions and wood-burning fireplaces, and we also had fun being active outside in the adjacent nature reserve, where we went cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and tobogganing. Very much recommend!

Summary: My friends and I had the best quick weekend winter wonderland getaway. Upon arrival, the sound of the waves on Georgian bay was such a welcome sound. I was aware that the driveway was steep, but the owner provided sleds to move our things to unload. The driveway proved to be a bit of a toboggan run for a few of us, which made us feel like kids again (we are in the 40-50-60 group). The home was perfectly put together for us, everything we needed was there. The kitchen was fully equipped. We brought food and made breakfast and dinner every night. Our winter excursions were even better as there was knee deep snow for our hiking and frozen waterfall tours. My friends and I highly recommend Susan's getaway cottage on the bay. Thank You!

Summary: We are a family of 6 adults, 5 children aged 1 to 12. There was something for everyone. The cottage was perfect, lots of bedrooms and open spaces for play or quiet time. The cottage was stocked with everything you could think of. What a pleasure to not have to pack dishes, towels and linens. Outside was beautiful, we loved the big yard to play games, the water was lovely with canoes, kayaks and paddleboards to use. The large garage was stocked with lots of outdoor games, campfire wood, an extra frig and the ping pong table was a hit. We also enjoyed long hikes on the trails across the road. So much thoughtful planning has gone into making the cottage and surrounding area a perfect vacation spot. Just pack your clothes and food and be prepared to make great memories!

Summary: We had a fantastic family holiday. This is our sixth-year vacationing in the Wiartron/Bruce Peninsula area but our first time at the retreat. We really enjoyed the privacy that the retreat had to offer. We were 4 adult couples, and each had our own room with one to spare. The waterfront though rocky(rocks a bit slippery so you will need water shoes) was tremendous. The A frame house had every amenity you could ask for. The air conditioning was a bonus the first few days as it was extremely hot and humid with no wind. After that, the breezy off of Big Bay was all we needed to keep cool. Another bonus was the 430 private acres across the road with 17km of trails which are owned and maintained by our hosts. There are rest stops etc.. along the way. They have put in a parking lot to allow the public to use the trails as well. You really don't have to go anywhere else. We will definitely be back. Miss it already.

Summary: Susan was annexcellent host from booking to check out. The cottage is breathtaking and so much care is taken to equip it for a large group. All the amenities one would want and more. Great trail and nice fire pit. Very generous host leaves you with wood for fireplace inside and we were greeted with homemade cookies and a lovely note. Bbq is gas fed so no need to fuss with propane tanks. Massive basement with walkout and massive tv. Lots of blankets. Loft is gorgeous and all of the rooms have stunning views of nature. Hands down the nicest place I've stayed and the pricing is beyond reasonable. Thank you!!!

Summary: Perfect place to stay for our golf trip to Cobble Beach, just a 15 minute drive. Beautiful property, food and drinks on the deck or hanging out at the fire pit on the water. Our host was amazing, very easy check in and out process. They even packed up a few items that were left behind and sent them to us.
