walking distance from one of the most beautiful and longest stretches of sandy beach in Ontario. They say you've never experienced a sunset, until you see one in Georgian Bay! (Just be careful, because they are a tiny bit addictive and you will end up having to return again and again...). The house and the surrounding area offer plenty of indoor and outdoor activities for literally everyone to enjoy all year round! We have amazing feedback both from families and groups of friends who stayed with us!

If you are planning on cooking, in addition to fully equipped kitchen, we supply propane BBQ, you just need to bring your favorite food and voila! We are pet parents and have decided to make our home pet friendly too, and ask guests to please inquire before booking. We charge a small fee to cover the added cleaning expense. Heating and cooling are entirely automated and the house will be set on a comfortable temperature prior to your arrival and will turn off automatically after your departure, a feature our guests with children especially appreciate during the winter months, but also nice to arrive in a cool space during the hottest weeks in the year! You can immediately kick your boots away, grab a favorite drink and hit the enormous sofa bed in front of the fire place/jacuzzi/pool table .... (fill in the dots) and relax!! We know some of you enjoy their devices and the distraction they provide, especially when the weather outside is less then cooperative. In addition to unlimited high speed internet we have included in your stay, we have two television sets in the house. The one on the main floor has several local programs and a few paid ones (National Geographic, History, Discovery Nickelodeon) for you to choose from, as well as Netflix. The second tv can be used to watch one of the many choices of movies we have supplied on DVD. For moments when you want to play together as a group, in addition to board games, we also offer state of the art pool table for your enjoyment! Pool is one of those games everyone can enjoy, from complete beginners to pros. You can play it on your own or with a group and this is by far our favorite indoor game! We have a selection of adult and kid size cues so everyone can participate! Our family loves to read! You will find tons of books on various topic and story books for all ages and different interest our gusts are welcome to enjoy! On nice days, our expansive back yard is an ever popular choice for playing, dining or just chilling out! In 2022 we added and extended on our deck so it now features roughly 700 square feet of space with modern and comfortable furniture and lounge chairs, as well as equally large rain-proof space underneath with harvest table and seating for 12. We are located in a quiet, residential area of Balm and most of our neighbors are full time residents. Because this is such a quiet and peaceful area, it is not at all appropriate for parties or loud, unruly groups and we would like to keep it that way.
