Oasis Family Cottage-Getaways Home in Shanty Bay, ON

I'm truly excited that you're choosing to stay at my family cottage in Oro Medonte — Hosting is a passion of mine!

I operate as a private host, which means providing accommodation is not connected to any trade, business, or professional enterprise. This is a personal passion project for me — I simply enjoy creating a welcoming space for guests like you to relax and enjoy.

My professional area is supporting individuals living with a Disability on the Autism Spectrum. Empowering women daily to aspire to their best selves is my service.
Warm regards,
