Cottage Profile
This beautiful cottage, built in the early 1900's, is located just
outside Owen Sound. It is situated on a small peninsula of land, which
affords a 180 degree view of Georgain Bay.
As you drive up the lane you will see a large wrap-around verandah
complete with a propane barbeque and patio set. This is a great
spot to have your morning coffee and take in some of the most breathtaking
sunrises.
The main floor of the cottage is tastefully decorated and features
beautiful hardwood floors. The living area boasts a gas fireplace with
two comfortable couches and three chairs. You will also find a television
with satellite connection here.
Adjacent to the living area is the dining room featuring a wooden dining
table and six chairs with a large picture window looking north over
the bay.
The fully equipped kitchen has a fridge, stove, microwave, oven and
plenty of cupboard and counter space. It also has a great northernly
view.
On the main floor you will also find a four-piece bath with Jacuzzi
tub, laundry facilities and two bedrooms with queen size beds.
The master bedroom is located on the second storey of the cottage.
It has a queen sized bed and both a northernly and southernly view of
the bay. Also, just off the bedroom is a sitting room with two chairs
and lots of windows overlooking the lake. This would be a relaxing spot
to slip away from the rest of the group to read a book.
There is also a fourth bedroom on the second floor that has a single
bed and a second quiet sitting room which has a lounge chair, coffee
table and large windows facing the lake.
There is a small private marina on the south side of the cottage, so
you can expect to see some car and boat traffic.
The shoreline is a mixture of sand and rubble. Swim shoes are recommended
(swimming is not really suitable for small children or the elderly).
Better swimming is located at Kelso Beach 2 km or Hibou Beach, a lovely
large sand beach is about a 15 minute drive away just on the other
side of Owen Sound and Sauble Beach is about a 30 minute drive away.
Fishing in the bay is good in the spring and Fall, with some mid
summer fishing. Fishermen in this area frequently catch salmon,
rainbow and bass.
Cottage comes with the use of a boat slip(max 20ft) in a protected harbour.
The cottage is close to many attractions, it is only a five minute
drive to Owen Sound with it's shopping malls, restaurants, museums and
art galleries.
