We have been in this cottage since 2015 and love the area. Our area is relatively quiet and family friendly. If you want to travel Canada's Wonderland it is about 65 minutes and downtown Toronto is about 90 minutes. Niagara Falls is roughly 2 hours away.
In the summer we have the best of both worlds. Full sun at the beach or bike/run stroll through the streets that are lined with oak and maple trees. We have a bush behind us and the Simcoe County forests that you can explore for trail running, biking, etc.
In the winter, the Township sets up outdoor skating rinks and you can also cross country ski in the bush behind us or on groomed trails in Wasaga/Midland or Collingwood. We are central to 3 of Ontario's ski hills : Blue Mountain, Snow Valley, Mount St. Louis Moonstone.
