We had the most wonderful stay here. The home was beautiful and a perfect getaway for my family. The view of the water was so lovely. The area was quiet and also close by to any necessities. We were also lucky to have perfect weather for our vacation. We hope to rent again next summer!

Perfect Vacation Spot

Harbour House was exactly what we were looking for for our stay in Penetanguishene. It was large, had a great outdoor space and was very clean and comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Our stay at Harbor House was perfect. The house was equipped with everything our family needed. The setting is beautiful, quiet and restful, but convenient to all the attractions of Penetanguishene. It is a short and and pleasant walk to Discovery Harbor, the theatre, municipal parks, and swimming beaches. Beautiful rail trails and waterfront trails are easy to ride starting from the house. Lesley, our host, could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Thank you so much for a wonderful getaway.

Great visit

We had a great time at Harbour House. The view of Discovery Harbour was nice; unfortunately, it was closed while we were there. The twin beds in the upper level were uncomfortable for an adult. The other beds were comfortable.

Large chalet in a beautiful location

Plenty of room for two families and a large outside area for kids to play or walk over to Discovery Harbour in just a few minutes. The cottage has 4 bedrooms with very comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is well equipped. There is a gorgeous view that you can look at all day. Highly recommended and we would love to come back!

High quality in a quiet location

Harbour House is very clean and has an excellent selection of quality supplies. The property overlooks Discover Harbour and is within walking distance of the Discovery Harbour site. Keep in mind it closes for the season on Labour Day. The communication with the host was good and the welcome wine and chocolate was appreciated. The property is within 15 minutes of all the historic sites in the Penetanguishine/ Midland area. The property has a huge deck with a nice view and is in a very quiet wooded area.

Family boating trip

We stayed in Penetanguishene in June 2023. There were 6 ppl in our group. Harbor House is very spacious, it would easily accommodate 1 more couple. Location of this house is very good with a nice view of the Discovery Harbor. It is very close, few min by car to Penetanguishene and Midland shopping and restaurants. We brought our boat with us- the boat launch is 5 min drive away. We would definitely want to rent this house if we return to this area in the future.

Comfortable, spacious home with a magnificent view.

My friends (3 adult women) and I loved staying at this home. Our host went out of her way to make our stay more enjoyable - left the outside lights on when we arrived in the dark and inside the home, provided extra towels and well stocked bathrooms with shampoo & soap. The house was spotless and the kitchen was well equipped for our evening meals. The view of the harbor was relaxing and the house itself feels very private in a secluded lot surrounded by trees. If we get the chance to return to Midland, we would definitely stay here again.

Girls' get away

We had such a great stay at this cottage, well a home on the bay. It has been an annual tradition with this group for 35 years. There were 6 of us and the 4 bedrooms accommodated us nicely, we all loved the bedding and the beds were comfy. The kitchen and dining area was extremely well equipped and the bathrooms were nice and modern. It was nice to have use of the shower on the upper and lower level. The deck and surrounding property were perfect for our geriatric olympics and we also took an afternoon and explored Penetanguishene and Midland. Would love to return and continue to explore the area. Thanks for a wonderful girls' weekend get-away. Etta & the Cottage Girls.

Great location for Discovery Harbour visits

We found this location to be better than we expected. A short drive to Penetanguishine downtown area, and an even shorter walk than we expected to the Discovery harbour area. The 4 bedrooms were perfect for our two families with young kids.

Girls trip generally good!

We enjoyed the location and wonderful deck and view. The drive to Wasaga beach was easy and groceries were convenient. We were surprised by the interior security cameras but were able to speak to Lindsey and felt more at ease. Beds could use upgrading. Thanks so much- we enjoyed our stay and the local ghost walk!!!!
