Ask a questionAbout Bettie VanGils Kloet
I (Bettie) am originally from this area and my husband Rob and I are really happy to be back in the beautiful vacation area of Grey Highlands. We love to cross country ski, which is why we chose this location only two minutes from Sawmill- one of the best groomed cross country ski tracks in Ontario! We own and host several short term furnished rentals in Hamilton area as well, and love the experience of interacting with our guests through the booking process. We have three adult children and one cat. We also love to bicycle, and we love cycling the roads in this area.
Bettie VanGils Kloet purchased this house in 2017
Why Bettie VanGils Kloet chose Shallow Lake
We chose this house because of the property. The creek is so peaceful, and sitting by the fire at night listening to the little rapids settles the soul like nothing else. We fell in love with the yellow Shallow Lake brick as well. The community of Shallow Lake is super friendly, and the general store owner Leanne keeps the store stocked with all those essentials you may have forgotten.
What makes this house unique
The shady trees, the peaceful stream, the birds, and the light movement through the house all provide interest. The proximity to Sauble Beach allows you to enjoy a busy day at the beach but then offers a quiet and shady place to relax in a beautiful home. The two minute drive to Sawmill Nordic Center means you can enjoy skiing several times a day!
