The Property

Room to gather. Space to breathe.

The Markdale Retreat is a modern farmhouse on 3.5 acres in the heart of Grey County, two hours from Toronto, 45 minutes from Blue Mountain, and surrounded by hikes, waterfalls, cider houses, and beaches.

Built for families, friend groups, reunions and corporate retreats alike, it pairs a big, honest kitchen and open living space with quiet corners for the people who'd rather read than referee volleyball.
