Bright 2 Bdrm Waterfront Cottage on Georgian Bay

Beautiful 2 bedroom Cottage on Georgian Bay! Located in a quiet area with a private beach! In the summer the lake is perfect for swimming! In the winter, curl up by the indoor fireplace and look at the beautiful snow on the lake! In the evening hang out by the outdoor fire pit, roast marshmallows and view the stars! It is the perfect place for a summer, or winter getaway!

This space is unique as it has it's own private beach but is also perfectly situated next to Magnus Beach which is another beautiful place to enjoy the sun and the sand! In the winter, you can access multiple cross country ski trails, go snow shoeing or hit one of the ski hills nearby!

The cottage is complete with a full kitchen, 1 bathroom and 2 bedrooms (master bedroom with a queen bed, other bedroom has a double bed). Wifi (with a chromecast to the TV), Satellite TV and a DVD player are available. A full deck which provides spectacular views to watch the sunset. Board games are also available. Kitchen is equipped with a fridge, coffee maker, microwave, toaster and other small kitchen appliances. A bbq is available, as well as a fire pit by the lake. Sheets, pillows and bath towels are also provided. Bring your own beach towels!

Please note, some walls in the cottage do not go all the way to the ceiling. Therefore, sound does travel between rooms.

Water equipment is to be used at your own risk.

Dear guests and potential guests,

*Note About the Beach* - Georgian Bay water levels are constantly changing. Last year, most of our beach disappeared. The levels seem to be going down a bit this year which has exposed some of our beach again! There is however a large grassy area right by the water that guests can use (see photos). Depending on the water levels during your stay, you may or may not see the beach. There is a sandy public beach less than a 2 minute walk away from the cottage called Magnus Park that can be used if guests would like to enjoy the beach.

The maximum number of guests allowed on the property at any given time is 4. Please do not bring any additional guests during your stay. Our septic system doesn't allow it. Should it be found that there are more than 4 people on the property you will be charged extra and may be asked to leave.

The tap water is not drinkable, however we will provide a water dispenser with water for you to drink.

Absolutely no parties allowed. Out of respect for the neighbours please keep noise to a minimum between 10pm-8am daily.


Any watercraft onsite is to be used at your own discretion. We will not be held liable for any incidents resulting in the use of onsite water equipment. It is the user's responsibility to be aware of weather conditions, watercraft rules and any local laws associated with the use of the equipment.

Great little get away
This little cottage is a great little get away for 2-4 people. The place was immaculate and well equipped. The view of Tay Bay was memorizing & meditative. With bedroom walls that don't quite go to the ceiling, your house mates must be well acquainted & accustomed to sharing space. Overall, a great little respite stay!

Great place to stay
We spent three nights in the cabin. The cabin very clean and had everything we needed. The view of the lake is amazing, and it was quiet and peaceful. The check in/check out went smooth. We would recommend this place to anyone.
