Cottages have come a long way in the last 25 years - the traditional "kick back and relax" getaway has all but disappeared beneath the move to bigger and more modern. Every once in a while we find a maverick - a place that is a bit of a throwback and gives you a feel for what things used to be.
Peabody Log Cabin Cottage once served as a general store for the rural residents of the Saugeen River watershed. Those times have been consigned to the pages of history, but when you step inside the cottage, you definitely have a sense of yesteryear. It should be noted, as shown in the exterior photo, that Grey Road 3 runs fairly close to the cottage and you will notice itinerant car and truck traffic when on that side of the property.
This Bruce Peninsula rental cottage is a value-priced stay at a riverside cottage with a deck very close to the water. Here you can explore a couple of trails, enjoy a game of catch or Frisbee in the side yard, go for a dip in the swimmin' hole, or simply curl up with a good book in the sunroom. Evenings may see your group sharing some songs and stories around a campfire before turning in.
Inside, the cottage has retained its' heritage look while correcting some of the effects of Father Time. The aforementioned sunroom is a delightful sitting area with windows on the river. You'll notice the original log exterior forms part of an interior wall here now. The kitchen is open to both the sunroom and to the dining area, the latter of which is paired with a living room/media area at the front of the house. A pass-through makes meals easy to serve here - perhaps your group doesn't want to miss a minute of the movie or the game. There is a 4-piece bathroom on this floor as well.
Upstairs is a farmhouse-feel set of 3 bedrooms and a 2-piece powder room that is accessible from 2 different doors. There are beds for 7-8 people. One of the rooms sleeps 4 - perfect for a small family or a set of cousins that will ignore your pleas of "go to sleep".
For those who want to do some day trips, exploring the South Bruce is pretty easy. The towns of Owen Sound, Sauble Beach and Southampton are all about a half hour's drive. Closer by is Chesley, less than 10 minutes away - it has all you need for groceries and the basics as well as a couple of restaurants, pizza joints and a bakery...all cottage must do's. Another 10 minutes takes you to Paisley - a town with a similar feel.
Peabody Log Cabin is the choice for a group wanting a relaxed environment with a feel of the way we once were.
