Rustic luxury chalet with private pool, 2 min walk to lake, beach and playground
About this chalet rental
Located in Barrie, this charming chalet for $200 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Rustic luxury chalet with fenced-in private pool for families, couples, friends and business travelers. A two-minute walk to a park, playground, and sandy beach on Lake Simcoe with beach volleyball courts, trails, and a nearby fishing dock. Weekly and monthly discounts for those who would like to enjoy the chalet, property and area a little longer! A comfortable, welcoming home away from home in a quiet, mature residential neighbourhood. A two-minute walk to beautiful Lake Simcoe, which freezes nicely in winter, and a 20-minute drive to skiing and other outdoor activities in fall, winter and spring. We are a friendly, empty-nest professional couple who travel worldwide and love hosting and making new friends. We work and live in a separate home on the property and are usually around if you need anything! The Chalet is perfect for families, couples, travelers, and small groups of friends looking for a unique rustic luxury experience in a warm, friendly, and comfortable environment. In summer, enjoy the A/C and a semi-covered porch outside with a barbecue, overlooking a heated (mid-June to Labour Day weekend) salt water pool, and an easy 2-minute stroll to a sandy beach with swimming area, park, and playground. In fall, winter and spring the Chalet features cozy heated floors, attractive furnishings and finishes, and easy walking access to Lake Simcoe. We over-built the Chalet to retire in eventually, with plenty of upgrades including in-floor heating, copper sinks, comfortable beds and Egyptian linens, beautiful artwork, a see-through gas fireplace visible from both great room and partly-covered outer outside porch, and lots of warm dimmable lighting both indoors and outdoors. The gourmet kitchen features an island built for up to six people to enjoy a meal, work on your computer, or relax with people in the attached great room. All the comforts of home are here waiting for you including a fully-equipped kitchen with coffee and tea, fridge and freezer with icemaker, safe induction stove, coffee maker, kettle, blender, dishwasher, cookware and all utensils. Bath towels, hand towels, and soaps and shampoos are always here. Floors are kept warm and cozy with in-floor heating in winter. The warm gas fireplace, and an additional heat pump system, with wall mounted heating/cooling cassettes in each of the bedrooms and great room, provide additional heat when you want it in winter, and rapid A/C cooling on hot summer days and evenings. Bottom-up window shades provide privacy while letting lots of light in and maintaining a view of the forested neighbourhood, and the bedrooms feature black-out curtains for sleeping. Ceiling fans are located in the great room and both bedrooms. High speed Wi-fi, TV with plenty of channels, and a Bluetooth speaker are here for your enjoyment. Laundry room with ironing board is included downstairs, as well as free parking onsite for two cars. The Jack & Jill bathroom is directly accessible from both bedrooms, and features a 16" rain-can shower head directly overhead plus the usual shower bar on the wall with removable head. A small separate powder room is accessible directly from the great room. There are two super comfortable queen-sized bed with nice sheets, pillows and duvet, one in each bedroom. If you need to accommodate one additional person, we can provide a single mattress to place in one of the bedrooms. Just outside the great room is a large partly-covered upper porch with indoor/outdoor carpet overlooking the pool and back yard, so you can stay outside even if it rains, snows, or if you prefer to get out of the sun, as well as patio table and chairs and a gas barbecue. The fenced-in back yard is private and for your use, and has a 35 foot in-ground pool heated to around 80 degrees F. / 27 degrees C. from mid-June until early September, with steps into the shallow end, and an 8' deep end. Our family shares the back yard and pool with you, although we don't use it often. We have our own separate deck on our house about 80 feet / 25 metres away, within eyeshot but not earshot of yours to maintain your privacy. Important note: children of all ages are welcome, but pool safety is the sole responsibility of our guests. Off the property, activities start at the nearby beach and park where you can swim, play, and relax in summer, or walk, snowshoe, or cross country ski on the lake when it's frozen in winter. Downtown Barrie is 5 km / 3 miles away. We have three bicycles which guests are welcome to use - two road bikes and a BMX. A biking / walking path leading to Barrie around the shore of Lake Simcoe is nearby. A marina and a public dock are each a five minute walk away. Restaurants, grocery stores, walking trails, festivals, resorts, boating, and many local features and activities are just a few minutes drive away. Snow Valley ski area is a 20-minute drive away, Horseshoe Resort and Mount St. Louis 30 minutes, and Blue Mountain 1 hour. Hardwood Hills cross country skiing and mountain biking is 25 minutes away. The world's largest fresh water beach - Wasaga Beach - is 40 minutes away, and Toronto with its airport and big-city features are about an hour's drive away. Smoking is allowed on the property, but not in or near the Chalet out of respect for future guests. There is an outdoor smoking area available outside a few steps away. Please note that while we want all of our guests to enjoy their time at the Chalet, no loud parties are allowed out of respect for our neighbours, and quiet time is 10:00 pm. Only registered guests on the property please. The Chalet is the entire second floor of this custom new building, including the porch overlooking the pool, and is exclusively yours to use. It's about 1,200 square feet (120 square meters) and includes use of the pool, parking for two cars, and the use of the laundry room downstairs. Also on the ground floor, separate from your space, is a garage and office that we do use from time to time, as our principal house is about 80 feet / 25 meters away and on the same property. Don't be surprised if you see us around once in a while, but we always respect your privacy and only contact you via WhatsApp (we won't come and knock on your door!). We work from home and are friendly, and usually here if you need anything - just ask. The Chalet is a family, couple, and traveler-oriented space, and we love to welcome new guests to share and enjoy it - and maybe even become friends, as we have done with many of our guests so far! We only ask that you leave it as spotless as you found it. Guest access is via keypad, and we will send you instructions a day or two prior to your arrival. We look forward to hosting you, and to you having an enjoyable stay in Barrie, the gateway to Ontario's lake country and outdoor playground! Warm regards, Gwenaele and Dave

Everything was excellent. The communication with the host was very good and fast. The place was very clean, beautifully decorated, and tastefully arranged. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to come back to this place in the future. I must thank Dave and his wife for creating a pleasant stay for us.

A little tree house in the middle of town yet it felt like being in a forest. Heaven.
Perfect for two people. The pool was a bonus.

5.0
We rented this chalet for a weekend with friends and it was perfect. The owner was friendly and welcoming, and gave us all the information we needed well in advance. The chalet is new, stylish, and comfortable. It's close to all the Barrie attractions but still feels very private, like you're up in cottage country. We had a great time, thank you very much!
