Property details

Are you ready to have a truly unique and relaxing Farmhouse experience?

Welcome to the stunning the property manager!

Experience a fun and exciting farmhouse stay about 2 hours North of Toronto with lots of activities and attractions both on-site and off-site. Perfect for families looking to make the most of the season or for companies wanting to host a corporate retreat.

This is a very rare cottage experience for several reasons. One of them is that we can accommodate up to 22 guests, and an additional 3 guests in our bunkie. 

The perfect venue for family get-togethers and corporate retreats. Truly offers a unique and relaxing experience. Weddings and other special once-in-a-lifetime events are being accepted.

Stunning waterfront property w/39 acres on Crowe River, 800 ft of water frontage. Extremely private with an elevated view of the river. A long driveway leads you to this 3,000-plus sq ft, two-story home. Comes with a beautiful well-kept barn and six stables. Attention to detail with tongue and groove pine ceiling with exposed beam accents, hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, and custom stone mantel with wood-burning fireplace. French doors lead from the kitchen to the deck area with a stunning countryside view. Indoor spa-like hot tub running off the kitchen (this is open seasonally, winter months only).

Natural flow with open-concept living and dining room areas connecting to the kitchen. The outdoor pool to the side of the property offers a pleasant alternative to swimming in the lake (the pool is open seasonally, during the summer months). The second floor consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, including a master bedroom with 3 piece ensuite with a walk-in shower. Full basement complete with 3rd full 4 piece bathroom. The basement also has a well-equipped rec room area. 50" flat-screen TV, PLEASE BRING HDMI CABLE to connect from your laptop to the flat-screen, WiFi. We also provide propane BBQ, Patio Furniture, Firepit, and more!

Lots of great boating, fishing, and swimming right on your doorstep! This gorgeous Farmhouse is geared towards multi-generational family retreats. It can be rented weekly or for months at a time. Also makes for an excellent corporate retreat. Plenty of team-building activities on the grounds or in the surrounding area. You have to see it to believe it!

** Please note the following property details:**

1. The outdoor pool and hot tub operate seasonally. Please check with the host to confirm if they'll be open during your stay.

2. The pool is NOT heated.

3. There's 1 television in the basement; however, it's not a smart television nor does it have cable. For entertainment purposes, please bring an HDMI + laptop.

4. The internet connection gets interrupted at times due to our service provider conducting maintenance work on nearby towers.

5. Swimming off the dock is quite weedy/many Lilly pads. However, you are still able to still swim in the lake, which is a little distance off the dock. There is the sand bar that all the locals enjoy swimming at, a little kayak from the house. We do have the pool just off the house as a great alternative. Guests have loved this option!

We look forward to hosting you!

While my family and I are based in Toronto, Dave is looking after the property. Lisa and Marshall have their beautiful horses at the barn. They keep to themselves pretty much.

I am always available for any questions that you may have. I will reply to any message as quickly as I can.

Plenty of attractions both on-site and off-site, all within a 10-minute drive from the property manager. On-site attractions include sports, ping-pong, water sports, forests, nature trails, a pool (seasonal) & hot tub (seasonal), and a fire pit. Numerous seasonal attractions during winter time as well. Off-site attractions: Horsin' Around Riding Ranch, Marmora Mine, Callaghan's Rapids Conservation Area, St. Matilda Church, and Crowe Lake Cruises.

With all the attractions available on-site and off-site, you're guaranteed to love your stay in the historic Iron City of Marmora.

Parking is plentiful at the property as well as if you were to take a drive into the town.

The best mode of transport would be a motorcar. That being said, biking or walking the area is very well suited as well.

We prioritize the health and safety of our guests and have implemented the following protocols at the property manager:

All touchpoints are sanitized for the next guests immediately after checkout.

Soft surfaces (couches/patio furniture) are also sanitized.

Our cleaner diligently maintains the property manager in excellent condition.

Your health is our utmost priority. We thank everyone for their cooperation.

Note: Horses are currently unavailable. However, we are actively searching for a suitable replacement. In the meantime, there are still plenty of enjoyable alternatives during your stay.

We rent a large cottage annually & are very familiar with pricing for spaces with comparable amenities. We have never come across additional fees for amenities highlighted in the listing title/description/photos. Add these to the cost of the rental, or negotiate at time of booking to ensure guests have a wholly positive experience. - A peaceful, serene location, with beautiful gardens & grounds that are very well kept and the alpacas and horses on site was welcome and novel. -Handles/ frames on external doors need updating they are frustrating to use/worn/sticking etc. - carpets could use deep clean or replacing on stairs. - The new sauna is fantastic (though $70 extra to use It) - hot tub is in a slightly odd place off the kitchen (+ $250 extra) but otherwise lovely. -Bit unfortunate that the pool is unheated + not a great amount of space to lounge around it. - great Selection of games, toys -Kitchen could benefit from maintenance (like a sink plug, tighten cabinets etc)

We booked this place hoping for a cottage getaway weekend for three couples with two kids each, so 6 adults, and 6 very small children (age range from 1-5 years old). It was not a cottage really and definitely more of a farm house. Which was lovely!! But not what we had really expected Based on the photos we thought we’d get a lot of use of swimming off the dock in the lake and this was not feasible since water levels were so low and the water was overrun withlike pads, cattails, weeds etc. So we were only able to swim in the pool. The alpacas and llama were a HUGE hit with the kids. Their care taker, Luz, was sooo lovely and helpful and taught the kids a lot about the animals. Brendan was a great and responsive host, and we did have a great time— it was just not what we had originally expected. I would still recommend it!!

Beautiful place and Brendan was very helpful as well as the groundskeeper Sebastian. We had an issue with the AC not working on the second da my of our stay but they quickly called the technicians (who couldn’t come next day) and instead brought us portable AC units to keep things cool. That was greatly appreciated. Was very comfortable for the 16 of us staying there. Thanks Brendan and would definitely stay again!

We had such a fantastic experience staying at Brendan’s Marmora Retreat. From the moment we arrived, everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. The space was cozy and well-equipped with everything I needed, and the small touches like welcome notes and recommendations for nearby places to visit etc made it feel extra welcoming. Brendan was incredibly responsive and kind, always available to answer any questions I had. One of the AC units stopped working and his property manager was there within half an hour. I truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place with a wonderful host!
