I visited my favourite cottage this week. Key Retreat on the Key River, about an hour north of Parry Sound, is located a 12 minute boat ride from Dore’s Resort on Hwy 69. It is the most idyllic place with outstanding privacy. The nearest neighbours are a kilometre in one direction and 2 km in the other. Guests have the use of a boat with a 15hp motor, which is enough for the occasional fishing trip or to explore up and down the river. The weekly rate of $1525 includes the boat rental. The cottage has three bedrooms, an open plan kitchen, living and dining area, and comfortable family room with a wood burning stove for cooler evenings.
On the same day, I dropped into Paradise Lane on Parry Island (road access) to check how the owner was getting along with renovations. This was the first time I’d been to this cottage and just loved the sandy beach, light filled cottage, and the good amount of lawned space for outdoor games. The owner is currently working on preparing the lower floor family room and bar which will be all ready for the start of the rental season. There is just one week left in July, and the last week of August, but I don’t expect those to last long as soon as interested renters see the new photos on the listing.
We have taken on a lot of new properties over the past few weeks so have a lot of availability in a range of cottages. Take a look at the July and August calendars to see what’s new and which weeks are open for booking.
