GENERAL DESCRIPTION & AMMENITIES: All season cabin on a BEAUTIFUL SPACIOUS FORESTED acreage, provides the best of quiet & privacy but also close to all summer activities. We love dogs and up to 2 dogs are welcome per stay. The closest white sand beach is only a half KM away and the vehicle "restricted area" is a short 4 min bike ride or 18 min walk on average. We are often asked, "is the cabin in the restricted area?" and we say, "No! And that is the best part." You drive right up to the door, no taxi fees, no long walks with your baggage. AND yet, you are every bit as close to the Bakeshop and Clubhouse activities as the majority of the cottages in the restricted area. Additionally we provide guests with a COMPLEMENTARY PASS for the Victoria Beach parking lot for one vehicle for the duration of your stay. Complementary fleet of 5 bikes (2 adult size, 2 youth, 1 child). BRING AND USE YOUR OWN SAFETY HELMETS, those under 18 must wear a helmet while on a bicycle in the RM of Victoria Beach.
