About this property
“The Loons” Waterfront Cottage with Private Beach on Georgian Bay! Pet friendly
Four season fully air conditioned lakefront cottage/chalet with private beach and spectacular sunrises and sunsets. A great place to enjoy family and friends, and to find peace and balance.
One of the few beach front properties in the Town of the Blue Mountains municipally licensed for short term accommodation.
Also available for ski season rental - within short driving distance of The Peaks, Alpine, and Blue. (inquire re seasonal rental rates).
Enjoy the open concept living and dining area on the main level, with pine beamed cathedral ceiling, wood stove and slate floors. Cook simple fare to gourmet in the fully equipped granite kitchen (updated cupboards and appliances in 2024).
In the warmer months, dine outside on the spacious deck with natural gas Napoleon BBQ.
Relax in the upper floor master bedroom overlooking the lake and enjoy breath taking sunrises from the walkout balcony. The master features a cathedral ceiling, queen pine sleigh bed. Second and third bedrooms both with cathedral ceilings have single bunk beds, and single/double bunks (Crate beds).
A convenient main floor bedroom, with 2 piece ensuite, has a queen bed.
Enjoy movies and Rogers high speed fibre cable tv on a 40 inch flat screen on the main floor and a 55 inch flat screen in the lower level recreation/entertainment area. Foosball table, books and board games are provided.
Listen for the call of the loons through the morning mist. Beach comb for fossils on our private beach and rock groins. Stroll at dusk to the Christie Beach Conservation Area, and observe the brilliant summer sun dipping behind the hills of Cape Rich. Count the stars in the Big Dipper, and experience the August meteor showers, and on occasion, the dancing Northern Lights.
Little ones will especially enjoy their very own Adirondack chairs and table. Take them on special excursions to the playground and shallow sandy beach at the nearby Christie Beach Conservation Area.
For skiers and bikers, store your equipment in our shed specifically designed for ski and bike lock-off.
High speed 900+ mBs internet.
SPECIAL NOTE: We are senior-friendly, with an entrance ramp, main floor bedroom, and main floor bathrooms with safety devices.
The lake front deck has been constructed at the same elevation (same level) as the main floor. Child safety gates protect the stair accesses. The beach has been graded with a gentle slope allowing easy access to the waterfront. We have a bathing chair and bed rail available upon request.

About the host
Your host
We (Sue and Richard) hail from Southwestern Ontario and Trinidad respectively, and currently make Mono our home (near Orangeville). We are now (after many years) empty nesters, but our family is an eclectic group of skiers, swimmers, hikers, sailors, food and wine lovers!
Why they chose this property
Sue vacationed in the area during early childhood and loved the majesty of the Bay and the friendly atmosphere of the local villages and towns. There was always so much to do - from skiing to sailing, or visiting the Tom Thompson Gallery in Owen Sound, the Apple Festival in Meaford or the Elvis Festival in Collingwood. Here the children learned to downhill ski and had their first taste of live theatre.
Our favorite outings – to cross-country ski or hike the Bruce Trail/Kolapore Uplands through the towering hardwoods and protective cedars. Then there is the Georgian Bike trail which passes close by the Cottage.

What makes this property unique
At the Loons you can enjoy a true four season experience – bike through the white apple blossoms of spring along the Georgian Trail, soak up the summer sun on the cottage’s private beach or windsurf at nearby Craigleith, cast your rod for trout and salmon in the nearby Beaver or Big Head Rivers, absorb the colours of autumn while hiking and biking the Kolapore/Bruce Trails, experience the fun of downhill skiing at the nearby resorts and cross country skiing on the numerous trail systems.
The cottage is advantageously situated to enjoy many local ski resorts - Blue Mountain, Georgian Peaks, Alpine, Craigleith, Talisman and Beaver Valley.
Nearby Thornbury, Meaford and Collingwood offer full services and lots of things (and in fact, too many things!!) to do – golfing at several major championship courses (Lora Bay Raven Golf Course, the Georgian Bay Club, and Monterra), antiquing, river and lake fishing, Collingwood’s “Elvis” Festival, Meaford’s Georgian Bay theatre at the historic Opera House, international film festival and Apple Harvest Festival, wine tours at Coffin Ridge Winery, trapeze rides and the Scenic Caves at Blue Mountain, canoeing with Free Spirit Tours on the Beaver River, and the list goes on..... And of course, good dining and shopping.
Georgian Bay is delightful for swimming, with wonderfully clear water. The cottage has a stony beach, great for fossil hunting. What better place to view the brilliant sunrises and sunsets. End the day toasting marshmallows on the beach, while listening for the loons.
Nearby (10 cottages away) is the Christie Beach Conservation Area with a shallow sandy beach and playground, perfect for an afternoon outing with the little ones.
Our location is easily accessible by a major highway (Hwys 400 and 26) or along numerous back road routes (Airport Road, Hwys 10, 27 and 50) if you want to avoid the weekend or holiday traffic.
