Georgian Bay Cottage- Hot Tub/Sauna/Trail/Run/Bike/Swim//Marina!

*** MIN 3 NIGHTS STAY DURING LONG WEEKENDS HOLIDAYS, AND IN THE SUMMER***
There is nothing like packing up the car and escaping the city for a weekend of relaxing outdoors. Kayaking on a lake, swimming at the beach, laying in a hammock, grilling burgers, and making s'mores by the fire are among the many fun activities to enjoy at my cottage.
Georgian Bay Retreat is an exclusive destination for families with kids or mature couples looking for an amazing time together, very close to the water.
Georgian Bay Retreat is a renovated beautiful all seasons cottage. It was designed to be spacious, light-filled and is tastefully decorated. Designed for comfort, relaxation, and creating memories.

Conveniently located close to Trans-Canada Trails and Georgian Bay for additional outdoor adventures at any time of the year: hike, run, swim, bike, ski. Gather the family and come explore this one of a kind property!
The property is quiet and private. The area is great for swimming and water sports in the lake, biking, hiking, bird watching, and cross country ski, snow-shoeing in the winter.

If you are looking for the most incredible sunset, look no further. This cottage offers by far the most magnificent sunsets you have ever seen. You can enjoy them in sitting on the beach while surrounded by family or friends, they will be a big part of your cottage memories.

Swimming, fishing, watersports:
Georgian Bay isn't just a big lake! It's an incomparable freshwater playground! Known for its famous windswept pines, plentiful fishing and endless sunny summer days on the water, it's no wonder that it has been a tourist destination for over 100 years.
The cottage is located just a 7 minute village walk to the pristine shore of Georgian Bay at Waubashene Beach. If you decide to drive there, you can park your car for free.

Georgian Bay fish species include Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Walleye, Large Mouth Bass, Small Mouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Crappie, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, Splake, Atlantic Salmon, Pacific Salmon, Whitefish, Sturgeon and Channel Catfish.

Biking and Hiking:
Trails are a wonderful way to spend an enjoyable day, relaxing and taking in the scenery. There are spectacular views and natural areas that can be enjoyed as you travel the Tay Shore Trail that is only 700 metres away from the cottage. The Tay Shore Trail is fully accessible trail that permits walkers, bicyclists, rollerbladers and cross country skiing.The Trail follows off-road trails almost exclusively, allowing for a family-friendly leisurely walk or ride through town along the lake shore. You're never far from the sight of the water or the shade of a nearby park.
If you are up to mountain biking, we are located very close to the following bike resorts:
Horseshoe resort, Hardwood Ski and Bike

Boating:
There are many opportunities to enjoy the waters of Georgian Bay if you have your own boat or would like to rent one. Here are a few places to be considered if you need to dock/launch your boat or simple would like to rent one:
Waubaushene Government Dock is located at 4 Government Dock Rd., in Waubaushene.
Peir 69 Marina
Twin Bridge Marina
Touring, Bird watching, canoe/kayak tours:
Just a 15 minutes drive to Wye Marsh Wild Life gives you the opportunity to be emersed in nature and even handfeed chickadees.
This place is a hidden gem, filled with lookout points, wildlife, board walk trails and wetlands.
There are a few guided tours that take you well beyond the limits of our walking trails, providing you with the best opportunity to fully explore the beauty of Wye Marsh. This is an exciting opportunity for those looking for a unique and active outdoor experience.

Travelled with group
The property from Inside was clean but front yard and back yard were filled with leaves. Hot tub was the only good thing, other than that it was an average property that was listed on reasonable price. The price was good for the group of 8 people and Host was nice.

Good stay in a quiet place
The property is situated in a location that is relatively quiet. Perfect for those that want to get away from the noise of the city. The inside of the property was really clean and the added bonus were the nicely renovated washrooms. Kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary utensils, that were well organized too. One issue that we faced was that the fridge wasn't working properly, so some of the food that we brought along did go bad. For example, we had kept a tub of ice cream in the freezer, but noticed it was still soft to the touch even after a whole day of keeping it in there. Luckily, it was a short stay and we had our coolers with ice in them, so all was not lost. I did also note, like the previous review, that the grass at the back looked like it was not mowed for a bit. * I do have a few recommendations, that I feel might make the place feel better. The whole area between the sauna room, the patio set and the driveway, could be paved with inter-locking - which could increase the appeal of the space and reduce the maintenance needed, with having to mow the lawn.

Great property overall, some small inconveniences
The property was as advertised and the area was really enjoyable and a short walk from the lake. We did run out of garbage bags (there were only 2 left when we arrived) and the lawn had not been mowed in a while, so there were quite a few mosquitoes.

Excellent Home Base for a Family
We had an excellent stay at Zoya's property. The photos were accurate and there was lots of space for 2 families with small children. The house was very clean and well stocked. The hot tub and sauna were especially big hits with the adults in our group. The location was very good for us. Walking distance to a beach and a playground. A short drive to a small highway to access other amenities and communities nearby. Zoya was a great host and made sure we arrived safely and had everything we needed. Thank you!

Quiet and clean gem tucked away in Waubaushene
Fantastic little gem in Waubaushene. It was so very clean and tidy. So very impressed. Lots of extras! Our family enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings as well. Close to Midland. Wonderful place to enjoy a rest. The owner has added special touches that make this a cozy getaway. We would definitely stay here again!
