Very nice mid-Sept visit

The cottage is comfortable, spacious, and well equipped. The lake, dock, deck chairs, and hot tub were nice places to view the sunsets. The kitchen is ideal for any coffee addict, and there were plenty of cooking utensils, plus the knives were sharp. Shopping for food/wine was handy in Mactier, which was 25 min drive away.

4 day cottage rental

We had a lovely time in a very comfortable clean , well appointed cottage. The fish were biting right off the dock ! The only bother was the neighbours were close and running machinery a lot .

Family Vacation

It was a lovely cottage to spend 8 nights with our family at... very comfortable. We missed not having AC for getting to sleep most nights but it did cool down quite nicely overnight. Loved the large dining table on the deck for enjoying all of our dinners and taking in the sunsets Beautiful. Great marina and public boat launch near by to get the water toys in.

Luxurious cottage

True to photos and description, this cottage exceeded our expectations. The hot tub and sunny deck provided space to unwind and enjoy the view. A trip up to the Moon River Falls was a lovely spot for a picnic. Recommend bringing your own water as the well water does have a sulphuric taste.

Beautiful Inside and Out

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Big Rock cottage. "Quiet, clean, comfortable, and the owner was very accommodating," said my husband when asked what he thought of our stay. And for my part, I'd like to add: beautiful inside and out.

Winter Solitude

A beautiful and incredibly well-equipped chalet on a quiet Georgian Bay lake just far enough from the main road... what's not to love. But the small details were so appreciated - books about the area, a Group of Seven jigsaw puzzle to work on while looking out over the water, Xmas decorations, cozy blankets and lots of candles! Christine was quick to respond to all communications too. I could imagine a summertime visit, kayaking from the dock, and enjoying all the outdoor seating areas (including the fire pit). Truly a great find!

About the host

Hosted by Christine Laing

I have been a host for over 13 years with properties located in Florida, Quebec and Germany as well as this location in Ontario. I enjoy decorating and making each property special so I combine antiques combined with comfortable furniture to make you feel like you are in a home environment. I also love to cookng so you have everything you need to make and serve that special meal should you choose to cook for your partner and/or friends.

Why they chose this property

We are remote enough to not be part of the crazy busy cottage scene yet close enough to drive to it. We are located amongst the islands of Massassauga Provincial Park, so lots of areas for remote boating and fishing can be found yet we are accessible by car. We also offer the most amazing sunsets as we face west.

What makes this property unique

If you are looking for the perfect location to tour Georgian Bay then our cottage is exactly what you want. We are a 15-20 minute boat ride to 'Henry's' and have a marina and public boat launch 5 minutes away. Lots of parking for your car and trailer, extra large multiples docks and decks to enjoy the outdoors.
