About this property

Stunning Secluded Family Cottage With Hiking Trail Access on Property

Surround yourself in a pastoral portion of Ontario unknown to most. Nestled just below the spine of the Niagara Escarpment, you will be treated to all that Nature has to offer-Autumn’s colours, Spring’s grandeur, Summer’s splendour and Winter’s wonderland. Welcome to one of the best daytime views in the Province, and one of the starriest evening skies in Southern Ontario !

Perched in the Pretty River Valley, this astounding home is furnished to an impeccable standard with exposed beams and a panoramic view overlooking the town of Collingwood and Georgian Bay. The open concept main floor is generous in space yet is cozy and intimate. The house sits on 40 acres of open canopy with forested hiking trail access off the south side of the property. This is the ideal retreat for families looking for a laid-back & secluded stay, yet still wanting to be close to many local amenities such as boutique shopping, Blue Mountain and restaurant's which are all a short 15-minute drive away. End the days off with a glass of wine on the porch enjoying the colorful sunset into the hills and beyond the Bay... a view in which time just simply stands still.

The first thing you will notice upon arrival is the number of windows letting in natural light and stunning views. The main floor is an open concept space consisting of the kitchen, living room and dining area. Off each end of the main floor is a private bedroom with unattached bathrooms. The kitchen has new appliances and is stocked with everything you will need for your stay, all you need to do is bring the food and beverages.

The basement has a large rec room with many puzzles, games, a ping-pong and foosball table. There are three bedrooms and one bathroom in the basement.

The outdoor space has a large deck, outdoor furniture and a bbq. There is a large area outback perfectly suited for a family soccer match or other activities.

Annual Girl’s Getaway
This was our second trip back and is becoming one of our favourite getaways. A group of 7 ladies from our days of working together as interior designers. This place will not disappoint. Highly recommend this property and it’s stunning views and proximity to Blue Mountain Village and Collingwood.

Great Gals Getaway Spot
This was a perfect spot for our annual gals getaway. Lots of room and beds and a well stocked kitchen. We loved sitting on the deck and enjoyed the million dollar view. Barbecued one night (good bbq with 2 propane tanks supplied). Had a blast playing fooseball and ping pong. Lots of room for us all to be together in one room. Would have loved to have a bonfire but we ran out of time. Great shopping and restaurants in Collingwood are only 15 minutes away. The house is isolated, but we loved that. We saw and heard some coyote pups playing along the back tree line. Lots of property to hike around. Overall, a fabulous spot for us six 60+ yr olds to catch up and have fun.

Beautiful Place
Such a wonderful location for our 20th annual girls weekend away. The views were fantastic, the location perfect, and the house had everything we needed for a perfect weekend away. Loved the trails off the back of the property to explore, and the front deck views looking over Collingwood and Georgian Bay was a perfect place for afternoon beverages. The Great room was perfect with the cozy fireplace and the beds were so comfy. Communication with Melissa was excellent and she was a great host. We look forward to a return visit.

Thanksgiving weekend
Wonderful space with tremendous view over Georgian Bay and Collingwood ! The whole family enjoyed the comfortable beds and the games room. Bruce trail is nearby and we did a great hike to the caves. Would have been five stars but we mirror previous reviews commenting on bathroom doors not closing and bathrooms and kitchen are a bit tired and could use a bit of sprucing up. Overall a good place for a family bonding experience.

Great photos but you wouldn’t want to stay there…
There were hundreds of dead and dying flies and bugs throughout the living area. We cleaned the vacuum so it would work and vacuumed the dining table! and floors 10+ times each day to get rid of the dead bugs. The owner wouldn’t communicate- she didn’t answer her phone, the voice messages were full and she didn’t reply to emails. There was no info book so we didn’t find the trails which was why we booked there. The place needs a lot of work- mould in bathrooms, doors don’t close etc. we paid a lot for the stay - so disappointing.

Amazing, Spacious Family Home!
Nestled amidst serene surroundings, this beautiful home is a true sanctuary of comfort. Boasting numerous bedrooms and expansive living areas, it provides ample room for relaxation and gathering with friends and family! We loved the living room with its cozy seating arrangements and the downstairs area is filled with games so there’s room for everyone! The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to cook with ease. The outdoor spaces are truly remarkable and it was a great place to disconnect! Melissa, the property manager, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to make our trip a success. We would love to return! If you are looking for a beautiful home in a beautiful location to spend time with your family and friends, this is the house for you!!

Cottage stay
We had a great time. The property layout was awesome. Tons of room to play lawn games as well which we loved and plenty of space inside. We also loved that Collingwood and Blue Mountain village were a short drive away. Only suggestion would be to have a second fridge to use as we were tight for space in the kitchen fridge but it wasnt a big deal! Highly recommend staying here.

Nice modest place to spend some quiet time with friends and family
Very good but with some minor inconvenience. 2 of the bathroom doors cannot be closed properly. We need to use a sign to indicate the bathroom was being use. Clear storey window did not have any blinds. It was a bit too bright to sleep in. Good range of kitchen appliance provided. It will be helpful to have a list and location of these items.

Gorgeous cottage with a wonderful host!
As the title says, the cottage was incredibly spacious with more than enough rooms and beds, in addition to a games room! The green space was also beautiful, and we took full advantage of it! Topping it all off was a responsive and kind host, making it a trip to remember. Would definitely go again!

Perfect weekend getaway
We had the best weekend at this beautiful spot! The property had everything we needed for our big group-lots of bedrooms, plenty of space to hang out and, although it rained all weekend so we couldn’t take advantage of it, amazing outdoor space to run and play. No shortage of amenities and we had prompt response to any questions right away. We truly can’t wait to return! Will definitely book again.
