Close to everything
We stayed a night to celebrate a birthday in Barrie. The house was perfect for a small group of well behaved kids. They loved the water and layout of the home, plus being right beside a proper beach and big playground. The area was quiet during the day and evening which was surprising and the landscape view from the balcony and backyard were beautiful. Curtis was a great host and assisted with any questions we had. The house has just about everything we needed for a fun and memorable stay. We would definitely come back again.

Great Family Getaway
What can I say? Book it! It's an amazing property. Clean and fully equipped for a comfortable stay. Little note: the house has a cozy barrel chair with a spectacular view of the lake- best morning coffee spot. The dock is great and the water is clean. The lake was pretty active with boating, parasailing, paddle boarding, etc. There is beach park close by with extra parking and a play ground for the kids. 3 mins away, a little shop with vintage knick knacks and ice cream. Overall, great place to relax, spend time with family/friends and enjoy the water.

The Perfect Weekend Getaway
From the moment we walked in the door, to the second we went to bed, the property was outfitted with all that we needed to visit with friends and sit back and relax. Curtis kindly made sure clean towels, as well as ice, soap, garbage bags, paper towels, expresso pods, etc were at our disposal. There was nothing this place was lacking. Curtis was quick to respond to any questions we had and accommodated in way needed. Thank you from all of us for such a wonderful weekend.

Absolutely stunning place and even not breathtaking view
I booked Curtis’s place for my 30th birthday weekend and we all had an AMAZING time! The house was absolutely stunning and the view was even better! It was such a beautiful spot that you would have no idea was so serene and breathtaking being in Barrie! I got extremely lucky with the weather for my weekend. So spacious for all of my guests, inside and outside! Fire pit and all! One of my favourite things was the master bedroom with its own massive balcony! The only thing I was confused about was the bunk bed room, which I thought had 2 more beds in that room, but enough space for all! I will ABSOLUTELY recommend Curtis’s Barrie Escape and will definitely be booking in the future! OH AND 10/10 fantastic host! So easy to communicate with and 10/10 responsiveness! THANK YOU CURTIS!
