Country Snug is our two-bedroom guest house, which sleeps six.
It's two hours north of Toronto,
15 minutes south of Thornbury,
and 20 minutes southwest of Blue Mountain Resort and Collingwood.
The property is on 32 acres,
with trails for walking, snowshoeing,
and backcountry cross-country skiing.
It has a fireplace, laundry and hot tub,
and your pets are welcome.
Inside
Living & Dining
The main part of the house is surrounded by huge windows and nature. The guest house has 10-foot ceilings, which add to the spacious feeling. There are books and games, interesting antiques, a three-sided fireplace, and a coffee table ready for your feet. Two sliding doors lead to the outside, and a table-top ping pong set is in the cabinet.
Kitchen
We’ve rented dozens of houses over the years, and have stocked the kitchen thoughtfully. Table linens, vintage sterling silver flatware and good china (all dishwasher safe), toaster oven, blender, Tassimo and drip coffee makers, Bosch dishwasher, lobster and fondue pots, basic spices and condiments. And a Jello mould.
King Bedroom
“It kind of feels like a hotel room,” said one of our kids. And one of our friends! A down duvet and feather and down-alternative pillows are on the bed. The swing-arm bedside lamps make nighttime reading a pleasure. A smart TV & plantation shutters round out the room.
Bunk Room
The second bedroom, which also has 10-foot ceilings, has two sets of bunk beds with down duvets and a mix of down and down-alternative pillows. Little shelves for water glasses and books are next to each bed.
Bathroom
Two sinks for separation — or accommodation. The tub is big enough for a proper bath, the hooks are ready for wet bathing suits.

About Us
Thanks for checking out our guest house!
We designed, renovated and furnished this building to be used as a single-family
ski rental in the winter, and it offers a user-friendly experience year-round.
We moved to Toronto from London, England 14 years ago.
(Thomas is German and Sarah is American.)
We feel lucky to have had the chance to make Canada our home.
We value our privacy and the privacy of our renters,
and are responsive and responsible owners.
Please get in touch if you'd like to stay!
Country Snug is available for rent.
We have a three night minimum April through November, and the rate is $350/night.
Country Snug is rented for the 2024-25 ski season.
