About this property
Island Retreat in Honey Harbour, Georgian Bay
Beautiful Island cottage in Honey Harbour on Georgian Bay, 90 Minutes north of Toronto, where sun-soaked days on a private beach are followed by gorgeous sunsets nestled in your Muskoka chair. This haven offers views that inspired the Group of Seven and other artists for over a century. Explore the 3-acre property, with Manicured lawns & rocky terrain perfect for mini-adventurers. Cottage is a short 2 minute ride from the Marina.
Spacious 5 bedrooms. on 3 acres. 3 docks, Sandy Beach, large lawn area, private sheltered water plane port.
Windows wrap the entire front of the cottage giving incredible views of the bay and amazing sunsets, but allow the glorious breeze to flow through the cottage. The large open-concept main living area incorporates living, dining. Snuggle up on the couches in front of the large, stone fireplace in the living room. There are additional fireplaces in the Kitchen, Master bedroom and bedroom #2. There is ample seating for ten at the harvest table in the dining room. The kitchen is spacious with all the amenities you could ask for, including a breakfast table for Seven. Next to the kitchen is a large sunroom with second breakfast area and another dining table for ten. Adjacent to the Dining area is a separate room with Bell satellite equipped 52" HD TV, blue ray player and Wii Play Station.
Five comfortable bedrooms will accommodate your family and friends. The Master has a king sized four post bed, and 2 piece bathroom and seating area. The three remaining bedrooms share two bathrooms. Bedroom 2 has a Queen sized bed & built in crib. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. The fourth has a bunk bed with a Queen on the bottom, it also has a pull out double sofa Bed. Bedroom 5 is a private loft made for kids with a double bed and play area. Blankets and pillows are provided. Please bring your own linens and towels. Main bathroom is a 3 piece with a shower (no bath tub), the second bathroom is a three piece.
Transportation to this boat-access property is easier than you may think (400 Meters from marina). Part of your package includes the trip over and Back if you do not have a boat. I would Highly recommend renting a small fishing boat, It will be great to explore the area and the fishing is very good.

About the host
Hosted by Daniel Busse
The cottage has been in the family since 1964. I moved up 20 years ago and have a house on mainland directly across from the cottage. In the past few years the family has become smaller and the Kids are all married and have family's living out of the province. They all make use of the cottage but it leaves many unused weeks in the summer.
Renting the cottage seemed a natural solution, allowing people to enjoy the great outdoors as our family has done for many years.

Why they chose this property
3 acre property only minutes away from mainland. 5 minutes to Honey Harbor and 35 min to Midland.
Private on all sides, large lawn. Pictures tell it all, have a look!
Property has over 1800 Feet of shoreline.
If you happen to have a sea plane, there is even a sheltered plane port at the back.
