My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights at The Loons at Christie Beach. The location was perfect - right on the water, close to shopping, dining and endless outdoor activities. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was spacious and had what we needed (although we didn't really 'cook'), the living space was ample and comfortable. Would definitely go back.

This cottage gives you easy access to all the activities at Blue Mountain and Collingwood etc. But also, a nice quiet retreat after the activities are done. We were fortunate enough to have nice enough weather to enjoy the beautiful waterfront and awesome sunrises. John and Carrie

LOVELY LOCATION, SO RELAXING AND WELL EQUIPPED WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

We had a lovely 4 days. The view was lovely.Georgian Bay showed it's many moods...from calm and peaceful to stormy and rough.The house was very comfortable and clean. It was very well stocked.The kitchen had so many accessories..We love to cook, so that was great. We would definitely stay again. S

This is an awesome property, the kitchen is loaded with everything you need to cook your own meals, make your coffee, store your food. The sunrises are amazing, lots of spots to sit outside and inside to relax, nice fireplace for the cool evenings, loads of windows. Spacious comfortable home, a short walk to the beach. Wish we could have stayed longer!!

The cottage was true to the description, clean, all kitchen amenities you might need, great deck for meals, beautiful lake view, clean clear weed free. Would certainly come back. Host communicated in advance regarding all details of the cottage.

The property is in a great location, is very clean and comfortable. One of our most relaxing vacation accomdations in recent memory. Only had positive experiences with the property owners. Would stay here again in a snap.

The Loons is an absolutely amazing cottage with stunning views of the water. The cottage has everything you need for a home away from home getaway. Loved it!

The Loons is exactly as described and was a beautiful location to enjoy the fall colours.

Owner was very helpful and accommodating. All of the amenities and appliances were in great condition.. Short stay but wonderful time..

We were here for a weekend with our parents/inlaws and our pets and we all absolutely loved it. The kitchen, the bathrooms, the bedrooms, the basement, the living and dining space and the backyard - all updated and well kept. Great Ambience! And amazing location... just 20 mins away from the Blue mountains village if you want to take a day trip. All in all, you cannot go wrong with this place! Book now!

The Loons is a beautiful home and was a truly lovely place for a weekend escape from the city. We wished we could have stayed longer! Right on the water, so you can fall asleep to the sound of waves. Christie Beach is a short walk away. The owners offered lots of great tips on things to do in the area. We had a fabulous time!

The loons was just as pictured . It is comfortable and the floating fireplace makes you feel like your having a campfire without being outside.

This place is amazing! Very clean, comfortable and convenient. It is just a short drive to restaurants and shops, but secluded enough to enjoy the serenity and beauty of the area.. The sunrises are amazing! Well equipped with all the appliances in the kitchen and comfortable beds. The owner was easy to contact with any questions we had. We enjoyed our time there immensely!

The Loons was a perfect place for our family to spend Thanksgiving. It was so comfortable and I was very pleased with how clean it was. The kitchen was very well equipped; it has everything one could need and more. The location is very good with Thornbury so close. It has a brand new grocery store and LCBO as well as shops and galleries. The Georgian walking trail is within walking distance and was enjoyed by my whole family, including the dog, while taking in the fall colours. The owner Sue was a delight to deal with. She was pleasant and friendly and was very quick with a reply to any of our questions both before and during our stay. We will be visiting the Loons again for sure.

Too short! We packed a lot into the three days we had at the cottage. Fortunately, it was a great place to stay - convenient to everything that we wanted to do in the area. The cottage was in great shape and right on the water as advertised. The property manager was very helpful and available for any issues that came up. The people in the area were so friendly - loved the small towns and farmland! Would highly recommend.

Spent a wonderful week with the family (6 adults and 2 dogs) at the Loons. The cottage is very well equipped, very clean and easy to keep clean. The owners take pride in their property and it shows. Lovely gardens. The high water levels on Georgian Bay put a bit of a crimp in our use of the "beach" but the dogs didn't mind at all. Definitely worth returning to next year.

I've stayed at The Loons numerous times with my friends for weekends and always come away feeling totally rested and rejuvenated. It's a beautiful location, the cottage is always clean and ticks every box. We enjoy the quiet where all you can hear is the water and the birds. Truly a terrific rental and Sue & Richard are so considerate. They think of everything and you can't go wrong in all seasons, such a beautiful cottage on the water.

We stayed at the Loons for a long weekend in May and found the accommodations to be excellent. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and well stocked with everything you’d need to from housewares to linens. We appreciated the kid-friendly baby gates on the stairs and the step stools as well. The host was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed a great week at The Loons in October. The cottage has all the comforts and equipment for a relaxing stay where you can take in sunrises, sunsets and watch starry skies from the deck and waterfront. The location provides easy access to the Bruce and Georgian trail for hiking, running and cycling, Christie and Lora Beach and visiting the neighbouring towns of Thornbury, Meaford, Collingwood and Owen Sound for shopping, activities and meals. An easy scenic drive takes you to the waterfalls of Eugenia, Walters and Inglis and an side trip to Old Baldy for vista views over the Beaver Valley or Epping Lookout overlooking the Georgian Bluffs and Bay. When back at the cottage after an day of activities there is plenty of space indoors or out to sit and chat, play a game or read as well as space to get away for yourself just to relax. Owners Sue and Richard and their property manager John are very responsive if needed and ensure that the cottage is welcoming and well stocked with the necessary basics including coffee, oils and basic spices.

The Loons is a perfect cottage get away. The cottage is clean, well equipped & comfortable. The water is beautiful and theer are lots of spits for long walks & excellent trails for biking. We loved it!

I had a wonderful, fun-filled week with my family...the cottage was perfect in so many ways - every last detail was thought of! We spent many happy hours on the back patio overlooking the water. The Loons is an easy drive to everything - dining, shopping, Scandinave Spa (!) and, most of all, the Bruce Trail which was my main objective for choosing this area. I was able to complete the Beaver Valley section of the trail and would love to rent 'The Loons' in the future to complete the Blue Mountain section!

Two weeks was not long enough for us...hated to leave. Comfortably accommodated 4 adults and two granddaughters....all in our own rooms. The cottage is situated between Thornbury and Meaford both offering close access to grocery stores, produce markets...pretty much any amenity you would need. The main floor bedroom is great for grandparents and those with mobility issues. You can expect a friendly, warm response from the owner, Sue. The property managers John and Diana equally so. We are looking forward to our vacation at The Loons again this coming summer...August 2017.

This was my families 2nd time at The Loons and once again it did NOT disappoint. We LOVED our time in this cottage! It has so much to offer - from the excellent 'steps from the water' location to the fantastically cozy interior that is very well equipped and comfortable. It's the perfect vacation location for some rest and relaxation, a family get together or just about any other reason you could think of!!

We spent two wonderful weeks at The Loons in July 2016. The "cottage" is really lovely inside - lots of room and nicely decorated. Everything you need is provided, including firewood, lounge chairs, natural gas BBQ, washer & dryer, wifi, TV...and central A/C! This was most appreciated during some very hot, humid evenings. Sue and her property manager John are very attentive to any request, and a pleasure to deal with. The waterfront is great for mid-day dips in Georgian Bay, evening campfires, and sunrise/sunset-watching. We and our guests had a perfect vacation at The Loons, and look forward to returning soon.

My wife and I stayed there for a week this summer with her brother and sister and their spouses. We had awesome fires every night on the beach with some amazing sunsets. The sunrises were great as well (you can see both from here in July). We rode our bikes to Thornbury and Meaford which are both lovely little towns on the lake. Lots of great places to eat and things to see. We also went to the nearby Blue Mountain ski resort village which has great dining and shopping. Lora Bay golf course just down the road is an amazing top of the line golf experience as well The cottage is really nicely upgraded and very clean and lots of room for 6 or more. We definitely want to go back. A beautiful cottage experience and only 90 minutes from the GTA. Much closer than Muskoka. I would highly recommend a stay here! (our dog Mollie loved it too) :)

The Loons at Christie Beach is a lovely vacation retreat! The cottage is spotless and beautifully finished. The master bedroom looks out over the Bay, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore can be heard from every room after a storm. The deck is secluded, as is the upstairs balcony, and even on the July 1st weekend we heard no noise from any neighbour. Our 17 years old grandson enjoyed swimming right off the beach, beating his grandpa at foosball in the lower floor activity room, jogging on the nature trails, and suckering everyone into just one more game of eucher. We had no trouble moving my father's wheelchair through the first floor of the cottage, and appreciated the safety bars installed in the bathroom. There are excellent grocery stores in Thornbury and Meaford, and the bakery at Goldsmith's makes a raspberry pie that will make you weep with nostalgia. We scheduled massages and a visit to the baths at Scandinave Spa, which ended our week with a relaxed and comforting experience in the outdoors. If you sit quietly on the beach after dark, you'll see stars you didn't even know existed. The absolute best, however, was our bat hunt. There's an active bat house at the Loons. Taking that as our cue, we ventured down to the end of the driveway one night, and shone our flashlights into the trees across the road. The lights attracted insects, and the insects brought the bats! (For those who don't enjoy bats, we should mention that unless you go hunting for them, you won't see them. Bats are very reclusive!) We hated to leave the Loons, and look forward to another visit with great anticipation!
