Amazing location on the water with incredibly peaceful view of Georgian bay and the Thornberry marina...walk is 5 minutes up to the shops and restaurants of Thornberry that we loved as well as access to the Georgian Trail for hiking/walking which is 100 yards from the cottage. The place is amazingly designed - with more space than you would think - all amenities excellent and modern and up to date. Nice open kitchen and living room and nice bathrooms and lots of light. Loved it!

It is everything as described. Waking up to the beautiful scene
of the harbour and ending the day with a striking sunset was priceless. It is a very peaceful environment with no traffic and
within walking distance of a beautiful beach and park as well
as the downtown area of Thornbury.

We stayed in this cottage for July and August 2018 and had a wonderful holiday. Located right on the Beaver River, near Georgian Bay and 10 minute walk to Thornbury city center, this tiny cottage was perfect for us and our pet dog to relax and enjoy the summertime. Close to swimming area, can fish from the property.
Owners (D+T) were very responsive to any requests we made and the lawn was maintained by a lawn care company so no maintenance required by us.
We will look at staying there again!! Thx.
