We are a family of 3 in a lovely large home on the outskirts of Collingwood, Ontario. We are two adults and one child. We are a 10-minute drive from Blue Mountain skiing and 15 minutes from beautiful Wasaga beach. We will consider each request for guests. You will have a lovely guest bedroom, and separate bathroom. There's lots of room for parking.
There's room for 2 people, and if you have children, we can make room depending on the time and length of stay. I prefer families and couples.
We have a dog, I don't recommend people with allergies stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed with friends in Europe. It was a great experience. I really appreciated my hosts and this community. The hospitality was overwhelming.
I hope opening my home provides learning for my family and great experiences again when we travel.
I admit I'm nervous for our first guests, but, here we go!
