Amazing getaway

This was our family’s first cottage trip (with family friends) and we certainty have set a very high standard for future vacations. This place has everything: the view, the water equipments, the entertainments, the comfort, I don’t know where to start. Let me list out all the awesome things we enjoyed over the long weekend: - the view simply cannot be beat. You can see it right from the huge window from the living room, which, by the way, has the most comfortable couches and blanket storage. - lots of board games were provided. (I recommend adding Catan to the mix) - the kitchen has everything you can ask for - we don’t have small children, but the place is stocked with lots of kid friendly stuff - owner provided extra dog supplies such as food and leash, very considerate - oh the fireplace is great, and there’s an entire shed of wood - so many water equipments that we never had to use our own, including life jackets - lots of outdoor seating - I know I’ve mentioned the view before, but that sunset is gorgeous! We eagerly look forward to coming back next summer :)

Had a great stay

We had a wonderful family vacation at Beechy Cottage! Communication with the owner was great and so much thoughtfulness and intentionality has gone into providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. Our grandson enjoyed playing in the small beach area and sunsets over the lake can't be beat! We definitely hope to be back again.

Perfect cottage

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Tammy and Tim’s cottage (we stayed with family previously) and the second time was even better than the first! The attention to detail, special touches and great vibes really blew us away. There’s so much to do at the cottage and it’s such a nice place to relax! Can’t wait to visit again.

Long Weekend Recharge

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage, it was a beautiful location on calm waters perfect for paddling and taking in the stunning view. Although we were lucky with the weather and spent the majority of the time outdoors the cottage is outfitted with plenty of games to enjoy on rainy days too. We had a small snag at the beginning with a fallen tree blocking the driveway but the owners were very responsive and it was taken care of in no time! 10/10 would recommend :)

Summer family getaway

This property is wonderful. Tami is a fantastic host. This is our third time staying here and we would definitely come back. It's a perfect cottage for a family holiday...and WIFI was strong enough for us to work remotely during the week. The kids loved using the kayaks, canoe and SUPs all day long...and the sunsets are gorgeous. Highly recommend this property!

Beechy Park: Everything you could ask for!

We had such a great time at Beechy Park! The photos online are lovely, but they don't do the property justice! When we arrived, we were thrilled with the feel of the cottage, how clean it was, and the amenities that were available to us. Tucked into the woods, you have privacy and a spot that's full of wildlife and beautiful sunsets. A great spot to have fires, a sandy beach for the littles to walk in and swim, and every type of boat you can imagine. Tammi was so kind, and accommodating, we will definitely be back again next year!

A beautiful property and perfect weekend getaway

This cottage was a perfect weekend getaway. The road and driveway were plowed and we had no issues getting in/out (we do not have snow tires). The owner even had the private driveway cleared after a big snowfall our first night! The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were spacious, with high-quality mattresses. We were able to enjoy cross-country skiing, skating, and tobagganing, which were all minutes away by car. We can't wait to come back!

Dream cottage

My husband and I have stayed at many places all over the world as well as quite a few cottages over the years and I have to say that I have never been to anything that comes even close to this amazing place. Every detail is thought of, and I mean even the littlest one. The cottage has every single thing you can think of. It is equally as thought through when it comes to the decor which is done with so much love and attention and looks beautiful. The kids also had a blast. There were movies and games and of course playing in the snow with toys that were also provided! Lastly, it was spotless! The beds look and feel better and more comfortable then some of the nicest hotels. We will definitely be back to enjoy this wonderful place in the summer! Thank you for everything Tami and Tim!!

Lovely Property on a Beautiful Lake

Our family and 2 dogs loved our stay at Beechy Park. The cottage was cozy, clean, spacious and very well equipped. Tami has thought of everything and then some. The lake was probably one of the cleanest (and warmest) I have ever swam in, and we loved the option of clean sandy entrance or deep diving dock. The weather was fantastic and so we didn't have opportunity to play too many of the indoor games, but enjoyed a few late night movies on the nice T.V. The bay was very quiet, and we felt like we had it all to ourselves that week. Town is nearby for any things you need to pick up. Highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect

This cottage is just perfect. The lake is quiet, clear and so warm (78-80 degrees!). The cottage is tucked into a quiet bay, with lots of trees for excellent privacy and that traditional pine needle cottage terrain, while still allowing views of the lake. The sunsets are just spectacular. There are many places indoors and out to gather as a group or find some solitude. The dock gets sun all afternoon but there are lots of shady places to sit as well, so shade lovers can share the lakefront with sun lovers and not miss the fun. The beach was clean and sandy for wading into- not squishy. It also made it convenient to launch all the water toys, kayaks etc. The paths fr cottage to dock snd beach were well maintained and easy to navigate. The cottage is nice and close to the lake - so convenient for trips to the fridge;) The cottage was super clean and cozily decorated with many homey touches. The dining area is larger than we had expected from the photos, sat 8 of us comfortably, and has a lovely view through the living room to the water. The living room was also plenty big enough for our group. The beds and pillows are all comfortable (even the bunks) and there is plenty of shelving/hooks/drawer space so you are not living from a suitcase and can hang wet items. There are so many convenient touches such as nightlights, extra blankets, sound machines, fans, etc and plenty of towels. The kitchen, although smaller, had absolutely everything we could ever want and it is nice that chef is still part of the main action and can still have a water view in the open concept layout. We loved the cork backsplash and the herb garden. There are many cottagey things to do (games and activities for indoors and out for all ages). We saw many loons, shooting stars, hummingbirds, fish, toads, frogs, a heron and a beaver. You can hear some traffic in the still evenings and mornings and of course you can hear the Parry Sound trains but they did not in the slightest affect the tranquility, and the convenience of having town so close by was worth the trade off. We heard many loon calls at night. The convenience of having the potable water filling station and waste transfer station 3 min away was fantastic. Tami was quick to answer any questions we had, and made us feel welcome with thoughtful welcome treats for everyone. Thank you Tami & Tim for a perfect getaway!

We recently had the pleasure of spending a three day retreat here and it was such an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Tami and Tim were amazing hosts and made us feel so welcome in their home. The property alone is gorgeous and the interior is beautifully decorated and extremely clean.

Gorgeous cottage with wonderful hosts

Tami and Tim’s cottage is a real gem! Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, with all the comforts of home. We were sad to leave, but felt relaxed and refreshed after our stay. The cottage is perfectly situated for privacy and for enjoying amazing sunsets. Even indoors, we felt close to the water because all the main rooms have views of the lake. As we stayed in November, we especially enjoyed the cozy wood stove in the living room. We didn’t try the water toys because of the weather but we found plenty to do inside with lots of board games and DVDs. Outside there’s a sandy beach and a dock for enjoying the lakeside. The kitchen has everything you need for making family meals. As a bonus, the cottage is really close to town with a grocery store only five minutes away. Oh, and it’s also close to highway 400, so getting here was a breeze. Tami and Tim were gracious hosts, quick to answer any questions. We loved their cottage and hope to come back soon.

About the host

Hosted by Tami

Host profile image
We love traveling, camping and spending time at home on our farm. Entertaining family and friends at our home and cottage.

Why they chose this property

Upon arriving at the cottage and setting foot on the driveway, we immediately sensed that this property would become an extension of our home. Its warmth and welcoming ambiance, along with the palpable sense of family love, enveloped us. Oh, and the views! It fulfills all our criteria, and we’re thrilled to open our family cottage to you. We hope you find it as delightful as we do!

What makes this property unique

A charming sandy beach, deep waters stretching from the dock, and a majestic boulder resting at the water’s edge adorn our 1.6-acre property, embraced by forested surroundings beckoning exploration. Not to mention the spectacular lake vistas and awe-inspiring sunsets. Fall’s vibrant colors begin to paint the landscape by late September!
