Butternut Cottage is a lovely 4 bedroom, 4 season, family getaway steps away from the sandy shores of Lake Huron, in Oakwood Park, a private cottage neighbourhood adjacent to Grand Bend. Built in 1924, with only a handful of owners, it has been renovated and restored into a cozy haven over the past few years.
Situated in a quiet, peaceful setting, the cottage is best suited for couples, families, and small groups of mature visitors (think book clubs, crafting, wine drinking in cute boho/granny chic decor).
Check out all the photos on our Facebook page and see our Instagram profile for reno/decor progress (handle is @butternut.cottage) We took this cottage down to the studs and rebuilt it leaving the original character intact.
Here's what Butternut Cottage has to offer:
-Situated in quiet, peaceful, family-friendly Oakwood Park with a private beach (no crowds, even at the peak of summer).
-Reliable Wi-Fi if someone needs to work remotely. One hour to London/Sarnia/Stratford for commuting to work.
-Well suited to a family with multiple kids or two small families. Also works great for a couple or family just using the main floor.
-Ideal for girls' weekends, quiet bachelorette getaways + anyone who appreciates boho granny chic, cottagecore vibes.
