About this property

R & R Retreat on Five Mile Bay - Only 9 minutes from Parry Sound.

This little beauty was carved from the property of the old West Wind Lodge. You will arrive at the dock of this boat access retreat, welcomed by the shine of the Five Mile Bay style. Deep clear water right off the dock makes for a safe and refreshing dip or cast a line and try your luck.

Situated on the rocky shores of Five Mile Bay, this fairly new build has an expansive front deck that welcomes the summer sun all day long. A vantage point for a spectacular Georgian Bay views that finishes the day in romantic style with a beautiful sunset. Its perfect for the star-gazer in you. A second lower deck is fully equipped with Five Mile Bay Chairs and Edison lighting to set the mood for an evening of quiet reflection.

A simple cottage design with bright wide open kitchen and spacious living area to enjoy indoor gathering. Enjoy your meals cooked outdoors on a more than adequate barbecue. A separate entrance to the master bedroom provides plenty of light and an on-shore breeze on warm summer nights. A covered, screened-in porch provides a cozy indoor area with an outdoor feel.

A slow comfortable stroll up a gradual stairway gets you to another large deck in the shade of seven oaks and Bunkie complete with screened-in porch.

Bring your own boat or enjoy a full service owner guided tour of the south channel. 24/7 host attention, water taxi, and delivery service during your stay provided at a reasonable fee. Full contact cottaging since 2003.

We had a great time at this cottage. The large deck offers beautiful elevated views, and the screened‑in area was perfect for relaxing without bugs. The water off the dock is deep, clean, and excellent for swimming. The surrounding area has plenty to offer for fishing, which we really enjoyed. It was great that we could bring the dogs.A few things to note for future guests is that the cottage sits on a steep, rocky hillside, so there are quite a lot of stairs down to the lake. The shoreline is rocky with no beach, so swimming is best from the dock. The property is boat‑access only. We brought our own boat, and the dock has room for one. If you’re launching from the public ramp, you’ll need to purchase a parking pass.The hosts were great and made everything easy. Overall, a beautiful spot with fantastic views and a wonderful deck for taking it all in.

The cottage was even more incredible in person than the photos! It was spotless, well maintained, and had plenty of covered outdoor seating, making it easy to relax and enjoy the space even on rainy days. The swimming right off the dock was fantastic and the lily pad was a highlight. Best of all, our hosts, Rob and Rosanne, were incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. They made us feel so welcome and were always available if we needed anything. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience this summer. Highly recommend!

What a terrific group of fine young people. There should be some proud parents out there. Meg and her group are engaging, polite, intelligent, responsible and respectful. All the virtues you hope for as a host. They left our cottage super neat and clean. We are so grateful for folks who appreciate our little piece of Georgian Bay as much as we do. Thanks Meg and friends for choosing our cottage for your long weekend retreat. Please come again!

This group of nice, young men were polite, engaging and respectful to us personally. However, despite the house rules that we clearly communicated in writing in our profile and in the rental agreement that we reviewed with the renter in advance and he signed in acknowledgement, and a verbal communication specifically about the rule of NO FIRES, there was an egregious violation of the house rules that resulted in significant risk and damage to our property. This group is not invited back to our property.
