About this cottage rental

Recently updated 2 BR cottage nestled in the woods. Sleeps 4 adults and 2 small children on pull outs.
One bedroom has a Queen and the other has 2 twin beds that can be converted to a King. Has a large deck with outdoor dining for 6 , fire pit (bring your own wood) and the private sandy beach is minutes away across the street.
The public beach at Balm Beach is a 5 minute walk. Midland and Penetang are 12-15 min away by car where there is a Walmart, grocery stores, shopping, etc

The Chateau is part of a compound known as Tondakea Lodge which 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, the Tondakea Lodge 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.

Beautiful spot! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Accommodations are rustic but adequate and clean. Beach is a close walk away, sandy and quiet. Nothing quite like Georgian Bay.
