♛ Meaford ♛
The Meaford area can be enjoyed year-round! Head out for an adventure biking, hiking, boating, or take the short 25 minute drive to Blue Mountain for some skiing. Return and freshen up to take a stroll downtown to one of our favourite restaurants or down to the waterfront and sit and watch the sunset. Meaford has a great dog park and dog beach, so even Fido will feel the love of the town. Retire back to the apartment for an evening of comfort.
The building is across the street from Bighead River which feeds into Georgian Bay. Daily walks around town can find locals fishing in the river or off the docks. We believe in supporting local, and have partnered with the neighbouring Craig Gallery to feature local artists throughout the apartment. All of the soaps and cleaning supplies are provided by The Keep Refillery consisting of all natural, plastic-free products that actually work!
You will have access to both the Bike and Hike entire apartments and listed amenities, which includes the 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms and 2 dining rooms, all for your use. Feel free to use the laundry machines. The stairwell to Hike is shared with the other 2 apartments on the second and third floors, but only you and those guests will have access to it.
All the units are managed by our property manager Kylie. She travels all over Southern Ontario so she’s generally not available in person but is only a quick message or phone call away to help you with anything you might need! Most of the time we will not be available to meet with guests but don't hesitate to contact us. We are still getting up and running but someone may be in the store to assist you as well.
Meaford is a four-season playground that has it all: great live theatre and concerts, fresh local food, unique shopping, nature at your doorstep, recreational activities, a beautiful harbour and waterfront campground, and so much more.
