Luxury Log Home, Southern Georgian Bay - Explore Blue Mountain to Tobermory

Highland House sits beautifully above the shores of Georgian Bay on 7 private acres of forest and manicured grounds. The estate property’s 500 ft. driveway leads to exquisitely appointed gardens and hardscape that surround the 3500 sq. ft. custom built modern log home.

With five bedrooms, a living room with a gas fireplace, an inviting kitchen and dining area, a media room and spa, Highland House offers couples and families a superior year-round retreat to rejuvenate and explore.

The two-level deck and new 9 person, salt water Arctic Spa hot tub overlook the property’s fire pit and are complimented by a Canadian Western Cedar indoor sauna provide a spa-like atmosphere to unwind and reconnect.

A chef’s inspired outdoor kitchen and a professional gas fueled stone pizza oven along with produce and herbs from the vegetable garden will ensure memorable evenings spent with family and friends around the deck’s harvest table followed by board games and movie nights on the 82 inch TV screen in the lower level’s media room.

Highland House provides easy access to all of southern Georgian Bay’s amenities and attractions. Hiking on the Bruce Trail, golfing, mountain biking, rock climbing, fishing along with ski and snowmobile trails are at your doorstep and are surrounded by Grey County’s 8 picturesque waterfalls.

Pack a picnic and visit the area’s secluded or more popular beaches or take a drive into Collingwood or up the Bruce Peninsula to Tobermory. With a boat launch 5 minutes away, explore Georgian Bay by water or paddle on local rivers through the countryside. Wineries, cideries, breweries, arts, culture, music and culinary events, festivals and fall fairs can all be found throughout the area’s historic towns and villages. Fine dining and take away restaurants along with local shopping are all nearby.

For a long weekend, a week or monthly rental, Highland House offers a memorable experience that will heighten all of your senses.

Highland House is cleaned to the highest quality standards and the hot tub and sauna are professionally treated between guests. Gardening and home maintenance take place weekly.

Linens have been purchased through William Sonoma and Pottery Barn and furniture and beds are new.

This was our 5th year at the Luxury Log Home, near Owen Sound, and it is for a reason.It is an amazing place for friends and/or family to spend a few days at and relax. It is well well equipped with modern appliances, an amazing outdoor kitchen, Pizza Oven and amenities. The bedrooms are nicely appointed and the beds are very comfortable. The rest of the house is furnished with high quality furniture and fixtures. The property itself is incredibly maintained, surrounded by beautiful wilderness.Our host David has been amazing to work with over the years. He genuinely wants to ensure our stays are worry free, relaxing and most enjoyable. Any questions we had were immediately responded to, and any issues we may have had were immediately addressed with results that met if not exceeded our expectations.If you are looking for a place to relax and feel at home, we highly recommend a stay at this wonderful oasis.We will be back again in 2026!

Of course! Here’s a polished VRBO review you can post:---We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Highland House in Meaford! Our group of six had plenty of space and every amenity we could possibly need — the hosts have truly thought of everything. The property itself is beautiful, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The welcome basket was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel immediately at home. Our host was extremely responsive, kind, and made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. If I could give 15/10 stars, I absolutely would. We can’t wait to come back!

Relax and unwind

The cottage is very cozy and yet very spacious. The bedrooms are large and have very comfortable beds and bedding. The patio has a large bbq, pizza oven and hot tub. The sauna in the basement heats up in 20 minutes and is easy to operate. Walking trails are plentiful and nearby. If you are looking to relax, rent this place.

Amazing girls getaway

We just stayed for a 3 night weekend getaway to celebrate our friends 50th birthday. It was an amazing location. The home and grounds were so beautiful. The home had everything we needed for a relaxing time; catching up with and celebrating our friendship! From the hot tub, to the sauna, pizza in the outdoor pizza oven, games and reading by the fire, we could not have asked for a better place. Annette met us onsite, was very welcoming and gave a tour of the property. The owner David, was easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. Home was very clean and lots of towels were provided. Beds were comfy! We can not wait to return again and making it a yearly destination.

Second Stay at Highland House

Our group of 7 were so happy to to be back at Highland House for another stay! Our host, David was there to welcome us and answer any questions. He gave us some tips on the pizza oven which resulted in amazing, delicious pizza our first night. The log home is beautifully decorated and cozy, all beds are very comfortable and the property, inside and out, was clean and well maintained. What an amazing property to reconnect with great friends over delicious food, good wine and lots of laughter! Thank you David for sharing Highland House with us. antable

Amazing Place and Host

The Highland House is an amazing home and property. It has all that you need and more, with plenty of room. The extra amenities such as the Hot Tub, Outdoor Kitchen and Pizza Oven puts this accommodation over the top. The house and property is well maintained. You can tell the owner (David) is very proud of his property. David is amazing...very responsive, friendly and conversive. Any issues we may have had were addressed immediately with follow-up to ensure we were happy. This was our 4th year staying at the Highland House for our annual Golf Tournament and we plan to be back again next year. Thank you David for being such a great host!

Amazing Getaway at Highland House

We spent a week with our family at Highland House. The home exceeded our expectations. The photos accurately depict the home. The house is situated in a secluded setting with beautiful gardens and a spacious lawn ideal for outdoor activities. The deck area includes an outdoor kitchen (with pizza oven), a large outdoor dining table, a sitting area, and a spacious hot tub. We appreciated making arrangements with the homeowner, who was quick to respond to any inquiries. I highly recommend this property!

Wonderful Property!

Our family recently returned from a 5 night stay at Highland House. The property is so private and peaceful and very well cared for. One of my favourite spots was the comfy front porch chair with a tea that looked out onto the beautiful and quiet grounds. The house was a perfect size for our extended family of eight. A lovely, cozy log cabin feel. We loved all the amenities the owner has provided - the great pizza oven, outdoor kitchen, sauna, hot tub, fire pit and more! Everything you need is there….even the many boardgames for a rainy afternoon. David is a very responsive host and Annette was so helpful when we arrived. Great location and wonderful property to visit! Looking forward to visiting again! Thanks for sharing your Highland House with us!
