Next to the kitchen is a large sunroom with second breakfast area and another dining table for ten.

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.

Great Family Getaway

Well-appointed cottage with large surrounding property and lots of activities to appeal kids of various ages and adults. We played volleyball on the lawn, the little kids enjoyed the playground and swings, the sandy beach area was great for sand play and swimming. It was nice to have a variety of watercraft for getting out on the bay, and there were plenty of great spaces inside and outside the cottage for our family to spend time together. Dan was a fantastic host. I felt like I asked a lot of questions and he was very responsive and happy to oblige, and was also extremely accommodating. Thanks Dan for a great cottage experience!

Georgian Bay

This property is magnificent. It is a short boat ride from the marina and oriented so you get morning sun and evening sunsets. The views from inside the cottage and outside are beautiful. There was ample space for our three generations of people. Eight of us stayed for a week. We wish it had been two weeks.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Busse

The cottage has been in the family since 1964. I moved up 12 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 1400 Feet of shoreline.
If you happen to have a sea plane, there is even a sheltered plane port at the back.
