About this property
walk to private beach across the street - 2BR Cabin - amazing sunsets
With a private beach across the street, Ole Cozy is a very basic 2-bedroom cabin with a queen bed in one room, one twin plus double in the other, and a pull-out couch in the living room. It has a full eat-in kitchen as well as a private deck. There is a three-piece bathroom with toilet, vanity sink, and a basic aluminum shower.
This is not a luxury rental and the price is reflective of your access to the beautiful, private sandy beach across the street exclusively shared with other renters.
IMPORTANT
1. The property is on a well so you must bring your own water.
2. Terrain around the property and on the beach is natural and uneven and so is unsuitable for those with wheel chairs or mobility issues
3. You must bring your own linens and towels
4. No visitors permitted without prior approval
Enjoy long walks through the forest, go for a swim in the crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay, or take a 10-15 min walk along the water to Balm Beach. At Balm Beach you have access to Balm Beach Go-Karts, Mini Golf, The Balm Beach Smokehouse, the convenience store with LCBO, ice cream parlour and the Georgian Grill & Family Arcade
Ole Cozy is part of a compound known as Tondakea Lodge which consists of three 2 bedroom cabins, one 4 bedroom house, and one 2 bedroom house; all bookable through VRBO (See bottom of this description).
Located across the street from our private beach, at the edge of a 27 acre forest, it once was the home and school of Franz Johnston, of the Group of Seven artists, and later became a resort in the 50s. Although updates have been made over the years the buildings still retain their original charm and rustic feel. Other Properties on our compound: 884008 (Doctor's House), 884009 (R n R Retreat), 884013 (Ole Cozy), and 884011 (Sky House), 9713676 (Chateau)
