Perfect Cottage Getaway on Gorgeous Georgian Bay!

We enjoyed a blissful week at Deborah’s cottage! The setting is stunning with a long dock, a sandy beach, and Muskoka chairs in strategic spots on the property to enjoy the sun throughout the day and the sunset in the evening. The deck is huge with two areas for eating or enjoying a cocktail or morning coffee. The island is easy to access from the Marina – just a two-minute water taxi, the staff was terrific, and they offer boat rentals for the week. The cottage is lovely and perfectly maintained, equipped with everything you could ever need, along with a canoe and SUP and fluffy beach and bath towels. Deborah was helpful throughout our stay and in the lead up to our trip. She answered our questions in a short time on email or text and left her number should we need anything throughout our stay. The cottage has a sound system inside and out to enjoy music or catch up on the news. The lake is quiet, with clear water for swimming and the property is brimming with striking natural beauty. Parry Sound is a 30-minute drive for a patio lunch, groceries and a fabulous Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays.

Perfect cottage for a Pointe Au Baril holiday!

We had a wonderful holiday at this cottage. Deborah had set up the cottage with everything we needed to enjoy a week away and was always available to answer our questions. It was very clean and had a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals. The morning sunrise and evening sunsets from the deck and on the dock were beautiful! A very relaxing place to spend our holiday.

I've watched the growth and steady improvement of this cottage for several years, and finally visiting here was certainly worth it. The Bay, the site, the cottage and its amenities were a tremendous combination for a great week!

Relaxing week

We were so impressed when we pulled up to the cottage by boat. It looked inviting. Entering the cottage was a delight as it was beautifully clean, spacious for 4 adults and did not disappoint. Due to covid we brought our own linen but Deborah had beautiful clean towels and beach towels for use which was appreciated. The kitchen in fully stocked with most items and it was very easy to prepare foods. The boat launch at Sturgeon Bay marine was easy with very helpful employees. The water is gorgeous and great for boating. All in all, it was a spot we would visit again. The only missing kitchen item was a juicer for squeezing fresh limes but we managed😜

Private Bonnie Island Family Retreat

This cottage was very clean and offered a wide variety of kitchen utensils and amenities, BBQ utensils, etc. which is always very helpful so that people don’t need to bring them from home. We were pleased to see that shower towels were provided and that a washing machine and dryer were on site. Very helpful ! ! The inside was more than pleasing. The location and outside space is a very relaxing, warm and cozy atmosphere. The fire pit was in an excellent location in front of the cottage, however we had some difficulties with seating arrangements since it is challenging to put chairs down on the sloping rocks. There are many fans available in the cottage in order to deal with extremely hot and humid days and nights. One improvement suggestion would be to add 52” ceiling fans in the bedrooms, in particular for bedroom 3 in order to deal with hot and humid nights. All in all, we were extremely pleased with this private Bonnie Island Family Retreat and what the cottage and the location among the Georgian Bay 30,000 Islands had to offer!
