About this cabin rental
With a private beah across the street, RnR is a basic, cabin with a double and twin bed in one bedroom and a queen bed in the other. There is a full eat-in kitchen, a living room and a private deck with barbecue. The bathroom is a three-piece bathroom with toilet, vanity sink, and a basic aluminum shower.
This is not a luxury rental and the price is reflective of your access across the street to the beautiful private sandy beach that is shared exclusively with other renters and family.

R n R Retreat is part of a compound known as Tondakea Lodge & Cabins. The compound consists of three 2 bedroom cabins, one 4 bedroom house, and one 2 bedroom house; all bookable through VRBO (See bottom of this description). Located across the street from our private beach, at the edge of a 27 acre forest, it once was the home and school of Franz Johnston, of the Group of Seven artists, and later became a resort in the 50s. Although updates have been made over the years the buildings still retain their original charm and rustic feel.
-
Enjoy long walks through the forest, go for a swim in the crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay, or take a 10-15 min walk along the water to Balm Beach. At Balm Beach you have access to the connivence store/LCBO , Balm Beach Go-Karts, Mini Golf, The Surf Family Restaurant, The Balm Beach Bar & Smokehouse and the Georgian Grill & Family Arcade

You book this property for the private beach access and location. Beach is gorgeous and clean. The trek there is rugged. Not for the unsteady or mobility challenged. Beach Chairs, side tables and a beach umbrella was provided. Cabin was very clean. 1 queen bedroom(2 pillows), other bedroom had 1 double (2 pillows) and a single (1 pillow). They looked new and were comfortable. Full sized fridge was nice to have. All cooking supplies, salt, pepper, veg oil, dishsoap, Lysol cleaner were provided. I do suggest bringing hand towels for the kitchen. You’ll need more than one. Bathroom was big but shower was not great. Very small. Reminder me of a cruise ship shower. Good water pressure though but water smelled like rusted pennies as it is well water. It was very hot outside with no breeze so we were uncomfortably hot in the cabin. Fans were provide but the air was stagnant. Not sure if it will ever have a breeze because you are in the trees and low on the side of a hill. So if you need AC this is not the rental for you. We used the BBQ everyday but there is no grass area if you require that. The deck had a nice table set to sit at. There is no TV which was fine for us. We walked down to Balm Beach for live music and ice cream. This place was perfect for what we needed. We were barely at the cabin. Hosts we available by text if we needed anything. This place is great for young families and couples.

The cottage is a real cottage. It's not a house masquerading as a cottage. The breezes coming through the windows were refreshing, and the sounds were pleasant. I personally really enjoyed what little time we spent inside the cottage, but I like rustic. With the windows open and the breezes moving the drapes around, I dunno, it was just nice and made my decision to leave my phone attached to its charger an easy decision.We came for the beach which is everything we could have dreamed of. The sand is smooth and continues out into the water for whats seems like infinity. Theres a few stones, but they are smooth and low and you dont notice them. Really, it's a perfect beach. I didn't sign up to the wifi, I never lost reception, I have no idea how good it is.

We continue to enjoy our now annual summer trip to this series of cottages. The views of Lake Huron are gorgeous. The sand beach and lake bottom made for wonderful long stretches of swimming. Will be back again.

Cabin was as described. The private beach was spectacular except for all the garbage everywhere. Sadly, folks felt no need to clean up after themselves and the property manager didn't clean anything up on the beach during our stay. The property itself had lots of garbage everywhere although this may have been on the neighbors space, it did detract from the secluded feel of the cabin. The wifi never worked, but we weren't there to be on devices during our stay. It would also have been nice if we didn't need to unplug the fridge to use the microwave to avoid blowing a fuse, but again, we made it work.
