We have three supermarkets in Parry Sound, and Sobey’s is open 24 hours in the summer months. We recommend you shop for food when you arrive. There is also a great convenience and liquor store in Humphrey just across Hwy 141 on South Sandy Plains Road which is 5 minutes by car.

In Parry Sound, which is only a fifteen minute drive away, there are many restaurants to choose from. We like The Bay St. Cafe overlooking the Parry Sound dock, Wellingtons, The Log Cabin, Boston Pizza and Trappers.  There is also a hotdog stand and ice-cream outlet at the Marina which is a 5 minute boat ride away.

Log Retreat has a capacity of 12 people including adults, children and all guests due to the size of the septic system..

The cottage is very private with 300 feet of frontage, on 5 acres of land and no one else in the bay.

We expect you to leave the cottage the way you find it, clean and neat…just as if this was your own cottage. We expect you to sweep, do a few loads of laundry, do the dishes and take all garbage to the dump.

We are on a bell hub which is the same as your mobile phone and as a result it is very expensive to download any movies or large files. You are allowed a total of 5 GB per week. Anything over 5GB per week you will be charged $10 per GB and the amount will be deducted from your security deposit. We get a day by day record of the usage so you will be charged if you go over your limit. Please speak to your family and friends and please explain to them to only use the internet for emails and not download information or movies……

Yes there is a phone at the cottage and all local calls are free. Any long distance calls we be deducted from your damage deposit.

The roads to the cottage are plowed regularly in the winter but snow tires are recommended. A four-wheel drive vehicle is preferred as roads up north can be difficult to navigate during the winter. Our private road is plowed and sanded by our local snow plow person and can be contacted in an emergency.
