King Size Bed, Hot Tub, Pool - Waterfront Stay

Are you ready to have a truly unique and relaxing Farmhouse experience?
Welcome to the stunning Marmora Retreat!

Experience a fun and exciting farmhouse stay about 2 hours North of Toronto with lots of activities and attractions both on-site and off-site. Perfect for families looking to make the most of the season or for companies wanting to host a corporate retreat.

This is a very rare cottage experience for several reasons. One of them is that we can accommodate up to 22 guests. The perfect venue for family get-togethers and corporate retreats. Truly offers a unique and relaxing experience. Weddings and other special once-in-a-lifetime events are being accepted. Stunning waterfront property w/39 acres on Crowe River, 800 ft of water frontage. Extremely private with an elevated view of the river. A long driveway leads you to this 3,000-plus sq ft, two-story home. Comes with a beautiful well-kept barn and six stables. Attention to detail with tongue and groove pine ceiling with exposed beam accents, hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, and custom stone mantel with wood-burning fireplace. French doors lead from the kitchen to the deck area with a stunning countryside view. Indoor spa-like hot tub running off the kitchen (this is open seasonally, winter months only).

Natural flow with open-concept living and dining room areas connecting to the kitchen. The outdoor pool to the side of the property offers a pleasant alternative to swimming in the lake (the pool is open seasonally, during the summer months). The second floor consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, including a master bedroom with 3 piece ensuite with a walk-in shower. Full basement complete with 3rd full 4 piece bathroom. The basement also has a well-equipped rec room area. 50" flat-screen TV, PLEASE BRING HDMI CABLE to connect from your laptop to the flat-screen, WiFi. We also provide propane BBQ, Patio Furniture, Firepit, and more!

Lots of great boating, fishing, and swimming right on your doorstep! This gorgeous Farmhouse is geared towards multi-generational family retreats. It can be rented weekly or for months at a time. Also makes for an excellent corporate retreat. Plenty of team-building activities on the grounds or in the surrounding area. You have to see it to believe it!
** Please note the following property details:**
1. The outdoor pool and hot tub operate seasonally. Please check with the host to confirm if they'll be open during your stay.
2. The pool is NOT heated.
3. There's 1 television in the basement; however, it's not a smart television nor does it have cable. For entertainment purposes, please bring an HDMI + laptop.
4. The internet connection gets interrupted at times due to our service provider conducting maintenance work on nearby towers.
5. Swimming off the dock is quite weedy/many Lilly pads. However, you are still able to still swim in the lake, which is a little distance off the dock. There is the sand bar that all the locals enjoy swimming at, a little kayak from the house. We do have the pool just off the house as a great alternative. Guests have loved this option!

While my family and I are based in Toronto, Dave is looking after the property. Lisa and Marshall have their beautiful horses at the barn. They keep to themselves pretty much.

I am always available for any questions that you may have. I will reply to any message as quickly as I can.

Plenty of attractions both on-site and off-site, all within a 10-minute drive from Marmora Retreat. On-site attractions include sports, ping-pong, water sports, forests, nature trails, a pool (seasonal) & hot tub (seasonal), and a fire pit. Numerous seasonal attractions during winter time as well. Off-site attractions: Horsin' Around Riding Ranch, Marmora Mine, Callaghan's Rapids Conservation Area, St. Matilda Church, and Crowe Lake Cruises. With all the attractions available on-site and off-site, you're guaranteed to love your stay in the historic Iron City of Marmora. Parking is plentiful at the property as well as if you were to take a drive into the town. The best mode of transport would be a motorcar. That being said, biking or walking the area is very well suited as well.
We prioritize the health and safety of our guests and have implemented the following protocols at Marmora Retreat:

All touchpoints are sanitized for the next guests immediately after checkout.

Soft surfaces (couches/patio furniture) are also sanitized.

Our cleaner diligently maintains Marmora Retreat in excellent condition.

We recommend that our guests bring their own bedding (duvets and covers) as well as towels (bath and kitchen towels). We will provide fitted bed sheets, pillowcases, and pillows.

Your health is our utmost priority. We thank everyone for their cooperation.

Note: Horses are currently unavailable. However, we are actively searching for a suitable replacement. In the meantime, there are still plenty of enjoyable alternatives during your stay.

This year, we've encountered issues with wet wood, affecting our firewood supply. To ensure you have a cozy experience, we kindly request that all guests bring their own dry firewood. While we'll still offer firewood, we regret to inform you that we cannot guarantee its dryness. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

We look forward to hosting you!

Beautiful Winter Getaway
Marmora retreat has everything one can think of for a cozy, comfortable time away from home with friends and family. We were a group of 7 adults (parents and their adult children) staying for four nights. Even our dog was welcome which was a real bonus! We wish we could have stayed longer! The farmhouse itself is on a very large and beautiful wooded property near a lake. All of the rooms are beautifully appointed with very comfortable beds in the spacious airy bedrooms and massive couches in the great room which centrepiece is a large stone fireplace. We took full advantage of the barrels of wood that were provided for a small fee and kept the indoor fireplace going while the snow fell outside. Our group had a great time with the pool table/ping-pong table in the basement and we all found a quiet spot to read, do a puzzle or just relax. The huge reclaimed wood dining tables (beautifully made by our host!) provided the perfect spot for our dinners together and for lots and lots of games. The large kitchen is just what one would expect from an old style country farmhouse; gorgeous wood plank floors and tons of counter space to prepare meals but with the convenience of all the modern appliances and cookware one would need. There is also a table that seats four-six people for a cozier seating setting. All of the rooms have lots of natural light and views of the stunning property from every angle. We spent a lot of time outside despite the snowy weather and enjoyed walking over to the neighbouring horse barn to visit with the horses and their owners. Some of us brought our own x country skis and snowshoes and had lots of room to enjoy these in the woods and on the nearby trails. Were we to return in the summer we're sure we would also enjoy the large deck that spans the length of the house along with the swimming pool at the side of the house. The photos that are on the listing are bang on; what you see is what you get and you won't find anything lacking. The hosts have made Marmora Retreat a relaxing and soothing space for everyone to enjoy time away from the hustle and bustle of life to be surrounded by nature and beauty. We will most definitely return!

About Brendan & Shivaune

This entrepreneurial couple met on the other side of the globe in Pai, Thailand. Not long after their initial introduction, Brendan moved to Canada to be with Shivaune where they started their family of 3 boys. Brendan runs a thriving Real Estate Development firm, Riley Real Estate Ventures and Shivaune has a thriving naturopathic practice, both in the east end of Toronto. Having the farmhouse just a short 2 hr drive from home is the perfect getaway to recharge from the demands of busy home and work life in the city. It’s their utopic slice of heaven where they make beautiful family memories and are happy to share it with you to do the same!

Why they chose this property

From day one we fell in love with the property and all the natural beauty it offers.

This property is the perfect place to relax, unwind and get away from it all.
It's close enough to the City and makes it very manageable to commute to.

It has the perfect mix of hot tub, pool, waterfront, massive deck for entertaining, privacy, proximity to the City, nature walks and wildlife . . .

The sprawling grounds make for a kid's ideal playground. So much to see and do, explore and experience.

The property is on 39 acres of land. Which makes it extremely private grounds. No neighbours for miles!!

What makes this property unique

We also offer this venue as a gorgeous wedding venue to make your day that much memorable.
