*Note About the Beach* - Georgian Bay water levels have changed drastically this year and daily. You may not see the beach depending on the water levels during your stay. There is, however, a large grassy area right by the water that guests can use (see photos). Hoggs Bay is a wonderful place to spot wildlife such as swans, geese, ducks and herons. It is generally calm and perfect for paddling a kayak and canoe around the bay. The conditions in the lake are also always changing and depending on the water levels you may experience more weeds when swimming. We recommend bringing water shoes and if you'd like any recommendations on some of the other amazing beaches in the area feel free to ask!
We have a maximum occupancy of 8 guests on the property at any time. Exceeding this limit may result in a request to leave, and additional charges for extra guests will apply. Thank you for your cooperation
