This is the perfect luxury vacation house for large groups, family gatherings, weddings and office retreats year-round.

"Breathe Easy" is a secluded country paradise on 140 acres, with expansive views of rolling forest and field in all directions, in a region with many rivers and small lakes, and close to Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, the Bruce Trail and conservation areas. The night sky is stunningly brilliant and the Styx River (part of the Saugeen River system) is at the base of the property. Great fishing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and exploration opportunities abound. In the heart of an area rich in culture . arts, craftspeople, music, theatre, biodynamic (organic, Waldorf) farming community. Breathe in clean oxygen-rich air (and enjoy a pristine environment, reveling in the sounds of nature). Breathe out the noises and tensions of city life. Visitors always comment on the harmony, peace and relaxation they find here.

Our very welcoming, custom built house will surprise you with its unique design and use of natural light. The south end of Breathe Easy has cathedral ceilings and consists of: a large, charming, eat-in kitchen, equipped for gourmet cooking with a screened porch off it; a well-stocked library/diningroom off kitchen; a broad hallway (our halls are bigger than the rooms in many rentals!) to a large, bright livingroom, with fireplace, a long trestle banquet table (for large groups or game playing (check out our games cupboard and kids toys and craft materials), french doors onto deck; and a laundry room/two piece bathroom. The north end consists of a large entry hall with stairway (and stairlift - we are handicap accessible) down to the lower level; two bedrooms (queen-sized) with patio doors onto decks; a large office and an oversized bathroom/exercise room with a large soaking tub, a deluxe wheel-in shower and a separate toilet/sink area. There are many windows and great views throughout the main level, and radiant floor heating and HRV throughout the house. The lower level consists of: a very large sunroom/bedroom with 8 single beds and a supply of extra mattresses for very large gatherings; a large bedroom with a queen-sized bed and two single beds; a smaller bedroom with a double bed; the "borealis" room, with a king-sized bed and a single bed; two small bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other (a meditation room) with a single bed; a sitting area with a pull-out (queen-sized) sofa-bed, a futon couch and a bar area with mini fridge; an exercise area with a ping pong table and exercise equipment; and a three-piece(shower) bathroom. There are also two decks and a screened porch, a large fire pit for bonfires, a barbecue, televisions, DVD players, VCR, CD players, turntable (with retro LP collection) and a well-stocked games and toy supply (including videos and DVDs).

This spacious cottage retreat is very private and designed with wheelchair access and environmental sensitivity in mind. It is ideal for large family gatherings or group retreats. Kids can make as much noise as they want downstairs or outside while adults have quiet conversations upstairs and there is plenty of space to break into separate workgroups at an office retreat. Guests can play volleyball, soccer or baseball, go for long hikes, settle into an easy chair with one of thousands of books, or lie back and gaze at the stars or northern lights.

We specialize in large groups, family gatherings and office retreats year-round. We are fully equipped and have everything you will need for a comfortable, memorable stay.
