Stay Canadian: Discover a Getaway Close to Home at Living Water Resorts

There’s something special about discovering your own backyard and you don't need a passport to enjoy a memorable escape.

Think fresh air, scenic trails, local shops, farmers' markets, cozy cafés, waterfront sunsets and plenty of opportunities to get outside. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a weekend with friends, a romantic escape or simply a few days away from the everyday, there's plenty of Canadian fun waiting just outside your door.

Get Outside and Explore

Canada is famous for its great outdoors, and South Georgian Bay is no exception.

Spend the day exploring the Georgian Trail, a scenic 34-kilometre trail that's perfect for walking, cycling and taking in the surrounding landscape. Living Water Resorts also offers bike rentals, making it easy to get out and explore at your own pace.

In the warmer months, head to Georgian Bay and experience the water from the resort's own marina. Guests can enjoy complimentary use of a kayak or stand-up paddleboard, making it easy to turn a quiet afternoon into a classic Canadian summer adventure.

Looking for something a little more adventurous? Explore the caves, trails and spectacular views at Scenic Caves Nature Adventures, or spend the day at Blue Mountain enjoying seasonal activities and the lively village atmosphere.

And, of course, no Ontario getaway would be complete without a day at the beach. Just a short drive away, Wasaga Beach Provincial Park offers the quintessential Canadian summer experience along the shores of Georgian Bay.

Shop Local. Eat Local. Explore Local.

One of the best parts of staying close to home is getting to know the communities around you.

Spend an afternoon wandering the streets of downtown Collingwood, browsing local boutiques and discovering independent cafés, restaurants and shops. Visit a local farmers' market for Ontario-grown produce and

handmade goods, or venture beyond Collingwood to explore the charming communities of Thornbury, Meaford and the Blue Mountains.

The Georgian Triangle is filled with local food, wineries, breweries, cultural experiences and seasonal events, giving you plenty of ways to support the people and businesses that make this region special.

It's the kind of travel experience that feels a little more personal.

Your Home Base for Canadian Adventure

After a day of exploring, come back to a place where you don't have to go far to keep enjoying your getaway.

Living Water Resort & Spa offers apartment-style accommodations designed for families, couples and groups, with select accommodations featuring full kitchens, living and dining areas. On-site amenities include pools, hot tub, outdoor spaces, BBQs,  golf (off-site), a marina and Living Shore Spa.

You can dine waterfront at Lakeside Seafood & Grill, enjoy the views from Station on the Green, unwind at Living Shore Spa or simply slow down and enjoy the Georgian Bay surroundings.

And that's the beauty of a Living Water getaway: you can do as much or as little as you like.

Stay Close. Feel Far Away. Stay Canadian.

At a time when we're all looking for ways to reconnect with what matters, sometimes the best escape isn't far away.

It's right here. It's discovering more of Ontario, supporting local communities and creating memories close to home. Living Water Resorts is proudly Canadian owned and operated.
