There is also a very comfy pull-out couch for two ppl. Ideal for a corporate assignment, job placement, school assignment and weekend get-away for all seasons.

Collingwood is one of Ontario's favourite ski destinations and is 10 minutes to Blue Mountain by car and a bus runs every hour with a stop 1 block from the house if you're coming up by bus. Special rates from November to March for monthly ski season rental so you can come and go at your leisure.

Check out Georgian Bay area happenings to plan your trip: Visit South Georgian Bay and/or My Collingwood websites, and view my Guest Guide at the bottom of the page with places to see and eat.

The Collingwood Marina at the famous Terminal Building is a 5 minute drive. From there, there is a great walking / biking trail that follows the bay. Great for birding, photography and fishing along that route which links with the Rail Trail that goes to Meaford. You can also launch your sail or power boat, canoe, paddle board or kayak right here in town.

Collingwood has some amazing restaurants (check my Guidebook), Jazz in the summer and of course the world famous Elvis Festival. Summer is an amazing time in the area for events.

Sunset Point Beach is a 10 minute drive and a wonderful spot to catch one of our beautiful sunsets, eat from the best food truck around and just bicycle and walk about.

The Blue Mountain Village is just a 10 minute drive and a hub of activity year round. You can attend many free concerts, mountain biking, Free Spirit caving and kayaking lessons and excursion, and Scenic Caves fun including a zip-line and suspension bridge.

The thermal baths at Scandinave Spa are also a few minutes away. There are also very good Yoga Studios, massage therapists and gyms in-town.

Explore the Georgian Triangle by car or bike. The Grey Highlands scenic routes with Vineyards/apple orchards, and water falls are great any time of year.

Craigleith Provincial Park and the gallery hub of Clarksburg. Rent or drop your canoe or kayak in Heathcote or along one of the access points on the Beaver River.

Have a look at my other ad which has local attractions, regional sightseeing, restaurants and shops mapped out.

I think this would be a great place for a weekend get-away, if you're looking to stay for a while or want the comfort of being able to come and go over a longer period of time.

For people who come to Collingwood on business, are relocating and are in the in-between stage, or would prefer to live in a friendly home instead of buying or renting a small condo.

The kitchen is shared, and you are most welcome to prepare meals or snacks, or settle down with a tea for the night. If you plan to cook I will be sure to make room in the fridge for you.

There is a washer and dryer for you to use, and if you're here on business I also have a steam cleaner.

There is a mud room for snow gear, bikes and such

This is my home and its important that we all feel comfortable and at-home. Interaction is as much or as little as people want. I like to interact but also value my privacy, and will yours as well.

If you want to play a wicked game of Scrabble, I'm up for that too.

This is a quiet, family neighbourhood, with a lot to do in the area if that's what you want as I've described. You can just relax and have a spa night and watch movies at home. In the summer there is a large yard, deck, patio furniture and BBQ.

While there is on-site parking, public transportation is available just one block from the house. Buses run from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekdays; Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

There is also a Blue Mountain shuttle bus from downtown Collingwood to the resort for a $2 fare, it runs in the morning until 6pm. If you don't want to drive to the mountain I can find out exactly where you'd have to catch the shuttle.

There is also a Wasaga Beach link that is $2.00 each way.

I have transit, trail and recreations maps available and can help guide you.

If the upstairs room is not occupied another friend could rent that space and you could all stay here.

While I don't make breakfast, you are welcome to make yourself a tea or latte, and have some breakfast before you head out to enjoy the area. My treat!

If you are a couple and want to stay, message or call me to discuss.

Guest access
The kitchen is shared, and you are most welcome to prepare meals or snacks, or settle down with a tea for the night. If you plan to cook I will be sure to make room in the fridge.

Plenty of organic specialty teas, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits available. Welcome to self cater your breakfast with whatever is in the kitchen.

The upstairs main bath is shared.

You have access to all the things listed in 'The Space' above.

PLEASE ... read the entire listing which I've made easy by using point form.

- This is MY HOME and we share it. This is not a hotel so mutual respect and communication is imperative. IF you're after a hotel or whole-home experience and that level of privacy, my home is not for you.

- Ask all your questions before you book and let me know about any allergies, special needs etc.

- For a $10.00 fee you can have your laundry done for you and have it ready upon your return from sightseeing and enjoying the outdoors

- I can not change my location, please check the map at the bottom so you can see approximately where the house is located and if it suits your needs.

- We take our outdoor shoes off at the door, and you will need slippers if you wear them.

- No guests without checking with me first

- My home and investment - I appreciate cleanliness and tidiness. While a cleaning fee has been paid its not for maid service, please tidy up after yourself in the kitchen and main bath, and before check-out.

- I have antiques, and everything is real wood, so we need to use coasters.

- Please make yourself at home, while respecting me and the space.

If you need anything or something is not right, please let me know while you are here so we can make the necessary changes. There is always a solution if we work together. Anything less than 5 stars is considered 'not good' by Airbnb, so resolving things is important.

We don't like to give hydro any more than we need to, please turn off the lights after yourself.

During your stay
While this is my home, its important that we all feel comfortable and at-home. Interaction is as much or as little as people want. I like to interact but also value my privacy, and will yours as well.

Other things to note
This is my other airbnb listing: https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/5075837 which is appropriate for single occupation.

IF you are EMF sensitive I have EMF protectors on the hydro metre, electrical panel on the inside and the WiFi modem.

I only use natural products - this is a chemical free zone.

I burn soy candles, scented with essentials oils - this is not a scent free zone.

I work like most other people must do. On days that I work, sometimes check-in has to be when I'm off or on my lunch hour.
