About the host
Hosted by Amanda Spence
My name is Amanda, & I’m so glad you’ve found your way here! I live in Toronto, but my happiest memories are at our family cottage in the beautiful Grey Highlands. My family & I have been fortunate to enjoy this special place, & opening it for short-term rentals has been one of the most rewarding decisions we’ve made. It lets us share the cottage when we’re not there & invite others to experience the same joy, rest, & connection with nature that we love.
Hosting began as a way to share our cottage, but it has grown into something more meaningful. I discovered how much I enjoy welcoming guests, ensuring they feel comfortable, & helping them create lasting memories. Thanks to the success & positive experiences with our own cottage, I’ve expanded into co-hosting for others in the area, including this beautiful lake house. I now help manage additional cottages & lake houses throughout the Grey Highlands. Every property has its own unique charm, & I love helping guests find the one that feels right for their getaway.
For me, hosting is about more than a place to stay—it’s about creating a warm & thoughtful experience. I want every guest to feel cared for, to have what they need for a relaxing trip, & to leave with stories they’ll share for years. Whether it’s a quiet retreat in nature, a family adventure, or a cozy couple’s weekend, I enjoy helping people find their perfect setting.
The Grey Highlands is a region I truly adore. From rolling hills & hiking trails to sparkling lakes & small towns, there’s something for everyone. It blends relaxation & adventure, & I’m grateful to share its beauty. Hosting allows me to combine my love for the area with my passion for creating welcoming spaces.
I look forward to being part of your next visit. My goal is always to make your stay smooth, enjoyable, & memorable—because this is more than a destination, it’s a place to feel at home.

Why they chose this property
We chose the Irish Lake & Grey Highlands area because it offers the perfect blend of peaceful nature, charming small towns, and year-round outdoor fun 🌲🏞️. From the moment we first visited, we were captivated by the calm waters of Irish Lake, the quiet forested roads, and the sense of stillness you just can’t find in the city 🌊🛶✨.
One of our favorite things about this neighborhood is how it makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook 🌅📖. Mornings often start with the call of loons echoing across the lake, and evenings are filled with glowing sunsets and star-filled skies 🌌🦉. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck or roasting marshmallows by the firepit, it’s a place where time slows down ☕🔥.
We also love how close we are to some of Grey County’s best attractions! From here, it’s just a quick drive to Eugenia Falls, Hogg’s Falls, hiking trails, local bakeries, cider houses, and farmers markets 🍁🥾🧁. In the winter, the area transforms into a snowy playground with skiing, snowshoeing, and cozy fireplace nights ⛷️❄️.
Despite the peaceful setting, it’s surprisingly accessible — just 1.5 hours from Toronto 🚗💨. That makes weekend getaways easy and spontaneous!
The community around here is friendly and welcoming, with a mix of year-round residents and weekenders. People wave from their porches, dogs roam happily, and there’s a strong sense of calm and connection 🐾👋.
What we enjoy most is how this area lets you reconnect — with nature, your loved ones, and yourself 💚. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a place to breathe, explore, and create unforgettable memories. Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, family fun, or solo recharge, Irish Lake is pure magic. 🏡✨

Outdoors, guests love paddling the lake with our non-motorized boats (kayaks, paddleboards, and more) 🚣♀️🛶, or gathering around the lakeside firepit under a blanket of stars for cozy evenings and roasted marshmallows 🔥🌌.
