Meaford Attractions
Meaford, Ontario is located on the southern shore of Georgian Bay, within the Georgian Triangle region. A picturesque town with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Meaford is a great getaway for relaxing. The town is known for its apple growing heritage and has a famous roadside attraction to prove it. Referred to as The Big Apple, this structure truly resembles a big red apple and measure 4.5 m (15 ft) in diameter and is made of spruce and fibreglass. The Big Apple is not only an eye-catching attraction but also houses the town's tourist information outlet. Outdoor enthusiasts will find some of Ontario's best hiking and cycling trails in Meaford and the surrounding areas, such as the Georgian Trail and the Bruce Trail. Other popular recreational activities include fishing in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter. Waterfront camping is a unique way to spend some relaxing time in Meaford. Memorial Park is one of the very few places in the province where this can be enjoyed. The campground is known for its long, breathtaking shoreline.
We have a beach area with the usual mix of stone and sand characteristic of Georgian Bay. The quaint town of Meaford with its harbor and weekly activities is a 6 minute drive from here. Grocery stores, post office and restaurants can be found along Meaford's main street. Tuesday night is Cruise night at the harbor, and on Fridays the Meaford market is hosted there. Owen Sound is a 25 minute drive.

Deer Path in Meaford
We had a relaxing time during our stay. The cottage had everything we needed. We spent a day in Owen Sound and enjoyed the craft show in Meaford the following day. I recommend this cottage; it is roomy and very clean. We felt at home there. Thank you Lynn!

Beautiful oasis!
Even though I ended up with a very rainy weekend, I enjoyed the beautiful property- a short but lovely walk over a stream, under old trees, by wildflowers to get to the water. The cottage was perfectly cozy to stay in and read by the sound of the rain. Everything I needed was provided (except I couldn’t connect my laptop to the old tv lol), even some firewood for a fire. I would come back and hope for better summer weather!

Wonderful escape
The cottage was such a beautiful escape! There's so much green space for our little kids and our dog to run free. Lynn and Jim were wonderful hosts who provided us with everything we needed, including plenty of outdoor activities including frisbees and a kayak to keep us entertained, and well stocked cookware in the kitchen. Our family would love to stay here again and make more memories!

Deer Path Guest House
Had a lovely stay at the Deer Path Guest House and really enjoyed the time that we spent there. The place was really clean and very organized. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Even though the cottage/cabin is part of a larger property, we had all the privacy we needed during our stay. Highly recommend for anyone would like to spend some quiet time to unwind.

Nice place
The house is very beautiful, it has everything necessary to spend a few quiet days, the location offers the peace to disconnect. We liked everything in general, we could rest, walk, go to the Blue Mountains so we could have a few days of enjoyment and relaxation at the same time.

Very Comfortable
Our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing, and our little dog loved it, lots of interesting areas to investigate. I wouldn't recommend this guest house for seniors, there is no bathroom on the second floor, and going up and down the stairs during the night was awkward. This property is best suited for young to middle aged family's, The Hosts on the other hand were very welcoming, and went beyond the usual to surprise us with a special greeting and a little gift. The only other setback was; we arrived in wet weather and the gutter above the side door dripped constantly right overhead of the doorway.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay
Deer Path is a lovely well manicured lush property. There are fun trails in their small forest. There are 3 great stone beach areas to enjoy. The accommodations are clean, well organized and have everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Lynn and Jim are both wonderful hosts ( as well as their daughter) who greeted us when we arrived. We would love to return for another visit when we get the chance!

Life By The Lake
My wife & I + our adult daughter spent a relaxing five days enjoying this wonderful retreat. Since we were able to bring our dogs (Nova Scotia Duck Toller Retrievers), we all had a chance to thoroughly enjoy the lake. The property attached to the cottage is extensive and the views over the water are amazing All in all, a very enjoyable vacation with very accommodating hosts, Lynn, Jim and Sorche. Many thanks to them

Very Nice Family Getaway
Our family, 5 adults, one child, enjoyed our one-week stay very much. The accomodations were very accurately described. We enjoyed sitting by the water and a bit of wading near shore - just don't expect a fine sand beach. We enjoyed a couple evenings sitting around the firepit. The setting was very peaceful and amenities such as groceries and restaurant/takeout were close by.

Gorgeous little waterfront cottage
We loved our stay at this beautiful cottage. It was the perfect size for our family of 5 (plus my mum). We had everything we needed, the space is bigger than it looks. The beach is great if youre looking to perfect your rock skipping / climbing skills, *little kids love this* and swimming was so nice! Lynn and Jim made us feel like home. Bring a soccer ball or badminton net to fullly enjoy the very very large yard : ) NB: Bring aqua socks / neoprene water shoes... especially for the kids. You need them walking in the water. Forgot them? The 'apple' department store in town sells them.

Beautiful and quiet - the perfect getaway
The house is perfect for 4 people but can accommodate more. It had everything we needed to to cook and grill. If something was missing, our hosts, Lynn and Jim, told us to comer by the house and ask them for it. Location is perfect in its proximity to the water, access to the beach, patio furniture, etc. Highly recommend renting this property to anyone looking to get away for a holiday. It is also close enough to some awesome places that you can visit and come back to home base. Overall a really great experience only made better but the kindness of Lynn and Jim.
