Country Snug is our two-bedroom guest house, which accommodates 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 and hot tub,
and your pets are welcome.
Inside
Living & Dining
The main part of the house is surrounded by huge windows and nature. It's beautiful, comfortable, and user-friendly. There are books and games, interesting antiques, a three-sided fireplace, and a coffee table strong enough for your feet. Frame TV, two sliding doors and 10-foot ceilings, and dining-table ping-pong set.
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. Smart TV & plantation shutters round out the room.
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.
Bunk Room
Two sets of bunk beds with down duvets and a mix of down and down-alternative pillows. Plantation shutters and little shelves for glasses and water glasses.
Bathroom
Two sinks for separation … or efficiency. The tub is big enough for a proper bath, and the adjustable shower and half-glass door make showering a little nicer. Also, there are plenty of New York Times and Wired magazines.

About Us
Thanks for checking out our guest house!
We built it to be a ski rental in the winter, so it's been designed and furnished
to offer a great winter living experience.
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.
