About this house rental
This is a gorgeous gem of a property; inside and out. It has been family-owned since 1972, through three generations of devoted love and care. But its history long transcends this, with the original hand-cast nails still in plain view in the hardwood floors.
The land surrounding this home is rare; framed by sloping hillsides and sweeps of Escarpment woods, one hundred acres of untouched nature and cascading fields, all to yourself. It can be explored on foot and can easily take a full day - though there is so much to discover that its best done over several. Through winter; we have snowshoes and a kid-friendly sledding hill.
For those lucky enough to enjoy it through summer, there is a pond so big it technically qualifies as a lake. It is spring-fed, meaning its always filtered by fresh water. It is clean and cool and the size of a football field. Full days can easily be wiled away lounging on the dock, floaties, and rolling into the water for a cool off. All fully private - with the exception of a few song birds.
The network of patios and flagstone walkways that surround the house allow for a welcoming flow of gathering, play, relaxation and escape. A 6-seater hot tub with sweeping views, an immense harvest table, a large but cozy fire pit, a propane fire table and even an indoor sauna, are amenities that only add to the experience of being here. Loved by all ages, perfect for for friends and families alike.
Located on outskirts of Meaford, Ontario (downtown Meaford is a 12-minute drive), you will find it wonderfully convenient for such a sheltered escape. Blue Mountain Village is a 25 minute drive down Highway 40, with Collingwood just beyond. Explore vineyards, hiking trails (there is an entrance to the Bruce Trail just up the road), waterfalls, dining, fishing, beaches, and of course - skiing. But the best part about being here is returning - and not feeling guilty about staying home.
You'll be surrounded by your own private world here - you're more likely to spot a deer than another person or car. The rest of the world just falls away here - for kids and adults alike, its a storybook world from another time.
We also know comfort counts. Cozy up in front of a 70" TV, on a sofa you sink into like a cloud. We've got Netflix, Prime, and SportsNet, but we've also got a record player for a different pace. We have walls of books; relics from a family of bibliophiles. There tables in open spaces and desks in curious corners, ample places to laugh together or retreat for quieter moments.
The house is as large as it is comfortable, with smart lighting and heating, new mattresses and pillows, fresh linens and towels. We have a stocked kitchen to help keep you from dashing in to town, and modern appliances to keep life simple. We've even got a selection of small appliances, just ask and we'll set you up.
