A place for family.
A place for making memories.
In the Summer
Slow mornings. Sipping coffee. Swimming all day. Sunbathing. Sandy toes. Afternoon wine. Barbeque smells. Meals together. Roasted marshmallows under the stars.
—
In the Winter
Cold frosty days. Snowy walks. Board games. Good meals together. Cozy fires. Mulled cider and hot chocolate. Cuddled up with a good book and a funny movie.
Meet your hosts:
The Grays
We are Lisa, Geoff and Elliott,
I (Lisa) grew up cottaging in Muskoka and Haliburton. It was always my dream to give our daughter Elliott the same incredible memories of splashing in the lake, building sandcastles on the beach, bonfires and just being together.
In 2022 after a long search that took us all across Ontario, we bought the cottage on Barbara Road. It needed some love, but we saw so much potential for what it could be. For the last two years we’ve been renovating and updating every square inch of Barbara Beach Lakehouse ourselves. To say it has been a labour of love would be an understatement. But the cottage is finally ready to enjoy and we are so excited to share it with you.
We hope you and your family will love creating memories there as much as we have.
Happy Cottaging!
