Love it if you do, but if not, I do keep some wood here for you.
-
You will see the place to start your fire at the back of the sauna. Just start your fire, close the door, and check it in about 1/2 hour to make sure you have a good fire and to see if it needs more wood. It takes about an hour to reach the ideal temperature for a sauna, so allow it time. Just make sure the backfire door is always closed. Don’t worry about putting the fire out. It will go out on its own.
-
Ensure that the umbrellas, furniture, and any flammable items are kept away from the pit. Best if the umbrellas are down. Have a water source and a metal stick nearby to move the wood in the pit.
Don’t build the fire too high or add more wood than you need for the length of time you'll be there. Please put the fire out when you leave.

perfect place to unwind!
“Truly enchanting, there is not a detail that is missed. Every piece in the place tells a story and has wonderful energy. It’s a true mix of wonderful pieces and modern touches. It’s the perfect place to get away and unwind. I can’t say enough good things about this space and Cathy, who has thoughtfully created each and every detail with such care.”

great place for the family and kids!
“My family and I had a great time at Cathy’s Airbnb on the July 1st long weekend. The Boathouse was clean, had all necessary amenities, and was uniquely decorated. The cottage is conveniently located about 15 minutes from Wasaga's downtown area and also has a less busy beach right behind it. The cottage is exactly as advertised, and Cathy was responsive and helpful throughout the stay. I’d recommend this property to those visiting Wasaga and would love to stay here myself in the future.”

This seriously is the BEST getaway, hands down.
“I just returned from there and already trying to book my next visit. The boathouse is so beautifully rustic, cozy (I thought some places were cozy but THIS is beyond next level cozy). I seriously didn't want to leave, it was the perfect getaway, and the host Cathy is actually the BEST. This visit is seriously 10 out of 5 stars. I will absolutely 1000% returning.”

extended our stay!
“This place was magical, and we extended our stay because we didn’t want to leave. Cathy was extremely friendly, proactive, and put a great deal of thought into the details of the property. It’s very peaceful and serene. The sauna, hot tub, and fire pits were all great amenities to have on the property. The private beach is a 5-minute walk. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this property and will be back! Thanks again for the hospitality, Cathy.”
