Luxury Lakefront Retreat | Private Beach | Hot Tub | Sauna | Watercrafts
Welcome to The Healing Cove Retreat, a luxury lakefront spa retreat on the shores of Lake Ontario.
Just 45 minutes from Toronto, yet worlds away, this private waterfront sanctuary comfortably sleeps up to six guests and invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and embrace the restorative rhythm of the water.
The property is home to an abundance of wildlife, and guests are often visited by cardinals, robins, swans, geese, rabbits and chipmunks. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the water, relaxing in the hot tub, or unwinding by the beachside fire pit, you will find countless opportunities to reconnect with nature.
Wake to panoramic lake views, spend your days enjoying your private beach, and unwind with a hot tub, infrared sauna, red light therapy, and peaceful outdoor spaces. Fall asleep to the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore and experience a level of tranquility that feels more like an ocean getaway than Southern Ontario.
Experience the rare combination of freshwater tranquility and sweeping lake views reminiscent of an ocean escape, all without leaving Ontario. Whether you're visiting beneath the warmth of summer sunsets or the brilliance of crisp winter sunrises, each season reveals its own unique beauty, inviting you back time and time again.
