Just Arrived at Skipping Rock? Here's What to Do First 👋

The vacation starts now.

Before you unpack, take a few minutes to settle in and explore everything waiting for you.

✨ Walk down to the shoreline and take in your first Georgian Bay view.
✨ Check out the hot tub, sauna, games, and outdoor spaces.
✨ Review your Welcome Guide for local recommendations and more!
✨ Let the kids discover the tree fort, beach, and outdoor play areas.
✨ Pour yourself a coffee (or a glass of wine).

One of our favourite things to hear from guests is how quickly they feel at home here.

Whether you're here for a family getaway, girls' weekend, couples retreat, or a multi-generational vacation, we hope your first few moments at Skipping Rock are the beginning of memories you'll be talking about long after checkout.

POV: Your kids haven’t asked for an iPad in three hours. 👀☀️

Instead, they’re:
• collecting rocks along the shoreline
• jumping off the dock for the 47th time
• begging for “just one more” marshmallow
• making up games only cottage kids understand

That’s the kind of summer we love around here.

At Skipping Rock Cottages, the goal isn’t perfection — it’s presence. The messy, loud, laugh-until-you-cry kind of family memories you’ll talk about for years.

And if you already know this is your kind of summer?

Happy Mother’s Day 🤍

Today is for the women who give endlessly — their time, their energy, their love — often without asking for anything in return.

The ones who hold everything together, who show up on the hardest days, and who make the ordinary feel safe, warm, and full of meaning.

To the moms, stepmoms, grandmothers, mother figures, and those who love like one — your impact is immeasurable.

The little things you do every day become the big things we carry with us forever.

You are seen. You are appreciated. You are deeply loved.

Wishing you a day that feels as special as everything you give to the world 💐
