A picturesque town with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Meaford is a great getaway for relaxing. The town is known for its apple growing heritage and has a famous roadside attraction to prove it. Referred to as The Big Apple, this structure truly resembles a big red apple and measure 4.5 m (15 ft) in diameter and is made of spruce and fibreglass. The Big Apple is not only an eye-catching attraction but also houses the town's tourist information outlet. Outdoor enthusiasts will find some of Ontario's best hiking and cycling trails in Meaford and the surrounding areas, such as the Georgian Trail and the Bruce Trail. Other popular recreational activities include fishing in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter. Waterfront camping is a unique way to spend some relaxing time in Meaford. Memorial Park is one of the very few places in the province where this can be enjoyed. The campground is known for its long, breathtaking shoreline.
We have a beach area with the usual mix of stone and sand characteristic of Georgian Bay. The quaint town of Meaford with its harbor and weekly activities is a 6 minute drive from here. Grocery stores, post office and restaurants can be found along Meaford's main street. Tuesday night is Cruise night at the harbor, and on Fridays the Meaford market is hosted there.

The cottage was such a beautiful escape! There's so much green space for our little kids and our dog to run free. Lynn and Jim were wonderful hosts who provided us with everything we needed, including plenty of outdoor activities including frisbees and a kayak to keep us entertained, and well stocked cookware in the kitchen. Our family would love to stay here again and make more memories!

Had a lovely stay at the Deer Path Guest House and really enjoyed the time that we spent there. The place was really clean and very organized. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Even though the cottage/cabin is part of a larger property, we had all the privacy we needed during our stay. Highly recommend for anyone would like to spend some quiet time to unwind.
5.0
The house is very beautiful, it has everything necessary to spend a few quiet days, the location offers the peace to disconnect. We liked everything in general, we could rest, walk, go to the Blue Mountains so we could have a few days of enjoyment and relaxation at the same time.
5.0
Our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing, and our little dog loved it, lots of interesting areas to investigate.
I wouldn't recommend this guest house for seniors, there is no bathroom on the second floor, and going up and down the stairs during the night was awkward.
This property is best suited for young to middle aged family's,
The Hosts on the other hand were very welcoming, and went beyond the usual to surprise us with a special greeting and a little gift.
The only other setback was; we arrived in wet weather and the gutter above the side door dripped constantly right overhead of the doorway.

Deer Path is a lovely well manicured lush property. There are fun trails in their small forest. There are 3 great stone beach areas to enjoy. The accommodations are clean, well organized and have everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Lynn and Jim are both wonderful hosts ( as well as their daughter) who greeted us when we arrived. We would love to return for another visit when we get the chance!

My wife & I + our adult daughter spent a relaxing five days enjoying this wonderful retreat. Since we were able to bring our dogs (Nova Scotia Duck Toller Retrievers), we all had a chance to thoroughly enjoy the lake. The property attached to the cottage is extensive and the views over the water are amazing All in all, a very enjoyable vacation with very accommodating hosts, Lynn, Jim and Sorche. Many thanks to them

Such an amazing place to stay! The guest house was spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. There was plenty of waterfront to explore. Best part of our trip were campfires on the beach. Absolutely wonderful hosts as well! Would highly recommend!

Our family, 5 adults, one child, enjoyed our one-week stay very much. The accomodations were very accurately described. We enjoyed sitting by the water and a bit of wading near shore - just don't expect a fine sand beach. We enjoyed a couple evenings sitting around the firepit. The setting was very peaceful and amenities such as groceries and restaurant/takeout were close by.

This was my family's first time as a whole at a cottage and we couldn't have ask for a better fisrt experience. Lynn was there to greet us with a warm smile and a gave us a run down on the lovely property. Everything was clean and proper. Thank so much Lynn.

We loved our stay at this beautiful cottage. It was the perfect size for our family of 5 (plus my mum). We had everything we needed, the space is bigger than it looks. The beach is great if youre looking to perfect your rock skipping / climbing skills, *little kids love this* and swimming was so nice! Lynn and Jim made us feel like home. Bring a soccer ball or badminton net to fullly enjoy the very very large yard : )
NB: Bring aqua socks / neoprene water shoes... especially for the kids. You need them walking in the water. Forgot them? The 'apple' department store in town sells them.

The house is perfect for 4 people but can accommodate more. It had everything we needed to to cook and grill. If something was missing, our hosts, Lynn and Jim, told us to comer by the house and ask them for it. Location is perfect in its proximity to the water, access to the beach, patio furniture, etc. Highly recommend renting this property to anyone looking to get away for a holiday. It is also close enough to some awesome places that you can visit and come back to home base. Overall a really great experience only made better but the kindness of Lynn and Jim.

We wanted to take a break from the city and relax.
We stayed there over the reading week in the Fall.
This property met and exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort and beautiful surroundings. It is a modest guest house that is well equipped with all the amenities you would need. Perfectly located to catch the sunrise, go for relaxing walks / runs and sit around the pit fire outdoors. The hosts are very kind and helpful which made our stay even more pleasant and relaxing.

Great location, not too far from town. We'll kept property and a nice little beach area. Our schnauzer loved it he didn't want to leave.

We stayed here for a couple days in September 2022. We really enjoyed our time there. The cottage is spacious, very well equipped and very clean. It is quite accurately depicted in the photos online. The property sits right on Georgian Bay and had a lovely little beach. Best of all, it was so quiet and peaceful. Such a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hosts were great and responded quickly to whatever we needed. I would highly recommend this place.

My family and I absolutely adored our one week stay and Deer Path Guest house. Lynn and Jim, and their daughter, are not just amazing hosts but also exceptional people. They made us feel very welcome and they were so very kind and attentive. The Guest house is immaculate and was also extremely well-equipped with everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The property itself is amazing with beautifully manicured lawns and gardens and the yard for the Guest house is huge and allowed our boys to play football, Frisbee and other activities. The private beach on Jim and Lynn's property was amazing. I just wish that I had spent more time there looking out at the water as it was so calming and relaxing. This was definitely one of our family's favourite vacations and we cannot wait to visit again next summer (if Lynn and Jim are willing to have us back)!!! Thank you again to the exceptional hosts and for allowing us to make wonderful family memories at Deer Path guest house.

Gracious hosts. Very clean. Well-equipped kitchen. Great location. Beautiful sunrise. The only thing that could have been done to make our stay better, would be if someone turned up the water temperature in Georgian Bay while we were there:)
This was my second visit and will definitely be back for a third!

This is an absolutely beautiful property and immaculately clean cottage on the water and just a few minutes away from the Bruce Trail. We will definitely be back!

Wow! I went there , seeking for calm and peace (yes, with my young kids, as it would be possible...🤣) And it was perfect! Literally on the shores of the lake. The photographer in me was thrilled! Lynn and her daughter were super welcoming and friendly! I highly recommend deer path!

This little gem was way better than we expected! All the little details were there! We spend Christmas at Deer Paths to be closer from our youngest son and just a few minutes from the ski hill. We did Blue Mountain and Horseshoe Valley. We will definitely come back if we are in the neighborhood! You won’t be disappointed!

The property is beautiful. Enjoyed that the tv played only dvds and vrc. My 12 yr old learned how to play a vrc and how to rewind it lol. There is lots of board games and books. The home is beautiful. We spent the 2 days in Blue Montain, next visit I will definitely be enjoying more what the property has to offer. 100% recommend!

The property was perfect for our family and the hosts were the best we’ve encountered . There’s space for kids to run and you are steps from the water ( private waterfront ).
We cannot say enough good things about the hosts ! The kindest, most helpful and accommodating .
It was a delight staying here and we hope to return many more time !

A beautiful property with private beachfront access to Georgian Bay, and gracious hosts; nothing more we could've asked for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the clean, spacious, well equipped guest house. From kitchen and bathroom essentials, to dog towels, to firewood, to the welcoming snacks - Lynn and Jim are such welcoming and warm people who care about their guests. We have a second stay booked!
