Waterfront Description & Nearby Activities
Nothing is overlooked at this waterfront cottage, and the landscaping is no exception. Outside of the cottage, you have your choice in seating areas. There is a covered patio with a table and four chairs, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. There is a stone patio with propane bbq, seating for an outdoor meal as well as a view of the water.
A truly unique part of the landscaping is the all natural limestone area situated between the cottage and the water. This is a natural occurrence, not man-made, and is the top of the escarpment. A fence runs along the cliff's edge in order to make the outdoor area safer for children.
A set of stairs leads from the cottage down to the waters of Georgian Bay. Part way down the escarpment is a small lakeside deck built into the rock escarpment for front row seating to the tranquility of Georgian Bay.
The shoreline is a limestone rock, and there is a small sandy area which serves as the perfect place for children to play. Swim shoes are recommended. There is a gradual increase in depth though the water will get very deep.
The cottage is located within walking distance from the Bruce Trail and Smokey Head Provincial Park.

All I Can Say Is.... What A View!!
We had a wonderful time at Cape Chin Escape and would love to stay there again. The setting is beautiful and the cottage is very special and well cared-for. We were sorry to leave.
Beautifully Perched Atop The Escarpment!
Indeed, this was a breath-taking bit of architecture. Each level offered privacy to the occupants. The decorating was suberbly pleasing, every view fantastic. We enjoyed hiking right from the front door! The kitchen is located on the second floor, so be aware that it will take many steps to carry food up to prepare and down again to eat on the deck or dining room table.
Shangri La On The Bruce
This property is absolutely THE best of the best. It has every possible amenity you could imagine; fabulous architecture, fantastic panoramic views, superb all around comfort. We could not imagine any other destination that would be better!
Wow!
My wife and I have been renting cottages for years from your services and have always been more than happy. But this property was heads above all others. It is a very beautiful property , which I have to complement the owners that give us time to spend in such a beautifull spot. The architecure of the home defies being refered to as a cottage and is simply magnificent. We spent hours looking onto Geogain Bay from many angles in the house and were mystified by its beauty, not to mention the creature comforts that came with this beautiful residense. I cannot express how happy we were here and the reponse we had from people that seen our pictures...This is a once in a lifetime experience that I would endorse to anybody that enjoys the finer things in life. We will return
An "executive Villa" In Paradise.
This cottage was truly a home away from home. We have never been so happy with a rental before. Sometimes cottage rentals feel old and/or grimy to us, but "Cape Chin Escape" was the exception to the rule. The cottage was immaculately clean and equipped with every high-end amenity a vacationer could possibly desire. The home itself is a piece of art and the mission-styled interior continued this motif throughout. The sunrises were glorious and the privacy was superb.
Breath Taking View....
Our week stay was a relaxing one with a breath taking view of the water was just beautiful! We were only a 1 hour drive to The Famous Clear Waters of Sauble Beach. Evening fires on the rocky beach of the cottage, roasting marshmellows and watching the sky change colors before the sunset was our favorite pass time.
