Vacation advice

[HTHM]

I am looking for a place to stay for a weekend, (arrive friday- leave Sunday), for a small family gathering. Just seven siblings and spouses for a total of 14 people ranging in age from early 50's the early 60's. We need to have a communal dining area, on the water, and nice amenities. We are looking at a mid Sept to mid October time frame.

Anywhere within a 4 hour radius of Hamilton would be welcome on either side of the border.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Check this out Albert. Multiple cottages, nice property and fair off season rates. Spent a few seasons up to 4 yrs ago.

Thanks Simon, but they don't appear to have large enough cottages.

What's your budget? There are some really nice private cottages that can accommodate that sized group, but some of them are pricey!

The largest I've seen at all the places I've been to sleeps 10. Personally, I'd just rent a couple side by side and simply eat together in one of them. Elmhirst Resort on Rice Lake has some nice cottages. They also have two pools (1 outdoor and 1 indoor) and two restaurants. Also a nice wine cellar. The biggest cottages sleep only 10 though.

Our budget is ~$1600 for the weekend.

BIg bear does not rent by the weekend. That place would have fit the bill very well.
