Get away from it all in style! A gorgeous artistic home on waterfront property available to discerning holiday makers for short term rentals year round. House sleeps 8. Directly on the water at Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, 2 hours north of Toronto. Not your typical 'cottage rental' - the house is decorated with real art, antiques, and stylish furniture. Plus all the comforts you expect - luxury bedlinens, a steam shower, well equipped gourmet kitchen, and of course all the nature you can handle. A cheery wood stove as well as a gas furnace keep the house cozy in the fall and winter. You can watch beautiful sunsets over the lake from the comfort of the sofa! There are lots of parks and trails to explore within walking distance. Trampoline for the young and young at heart. The house is located on spacious private grounds, with hammocks, benches and loungers tucked into nooks for you to escape into with your book and G n T. The lake is great for swimming, warm and with free flowing fresh water. Kayak and Paddleboard available for you to consider using as you lie in the hammock. There are lovely sandy public beaches also, short bike ride away. Trampoline for the young and young at heart ! Graze in the herb garden to upgrade your meals, which you enjoy al fresco watching the sun set. ( Secret! Very few mosquitos here due to the breeze off the water! ) Take the vintage bicycles for a spin to a local farm to collect fresh eggs and natural honey, and maybe a spot of horseback riding. Local french village Lafontaine has great gourmet food and an LCBO.
On a rainy day unwind in the steam shower - there's room for 2! Or dig through the collection of old vinyl LP's!
There are beautiful provincial parks to explore nearby, or take the ferry ( or challenge yourself to paddle across in a kayak ) to Christian Island for some of Canada's best beaches!
What makes us unique - all the nature you can handle but with the comforts you require.

| We stayed at Dacha over the Labour Day long weekend, and it was four days of pure relaxation. We came with friends and our golden retrievers and enjoyed the beautiful views, sunsets over the water, kayaking, and evenings by the fire. We had long conversations, read books from the shelves, and browsed through the wonderful art albums.
There are so many lovely places where you can relax, be alone with your thoughts, or have a quiet conversation away from everyone else. And the star-filled night sky was simply unreal—we could even see the Milky Way!
Thank you so much, Alison, for such a memorable stay!

| We had a fantastic two week vacation at “The Dacha”! Such a beautiful location and cottage in our favourite area. Our children and grandchildren had a great time enjoying the sun and the swimming too.
Many thanks for sharing your space!

| We had a lovely and relaxing time at the Dacha where we stayed for one week! The property is stunning with a private deck right on the beach, spot to pitch the hammock, and a fire pit area. Lots of seating options all around the house, and a beautiful herb garden near the front. The cottage itself was clean and cozy, with a wood burning stove, a record player, and books to choose from for days. We loved starting off our mornings listening to records! The water was too cold to swim in, but the sun hot enough to tan. We took daily walks with our dog to the nearby beach, and did yoga on the deck. The sunsets were spectacular. The owner was super helpful and friendly, and accessible when we had questions. Overall, it was just the getaway we needed away from the city. Thank you, Alison!!
