The space About our home: This heritage-designated Queen Anne style home was built for the Butchart family in 1891. The Butcharts became famous after they left Owen Sound for Victoria, B.C., where they developed their famous "Butchart Gardens". But they were gardeners here in Owen Sound too: this home once featured an attached conservatory for growing flowers. That area now houses an indoor pool and hot tub, which guests can enjoy year-round! The historic Butchart Estate features beautiful craftsmanship and many architectural details: including elaborate leaded- and stained-glass windows, handsome woodwork on the main level, and a stunning main staircase with a bronze "Lady Liberty" on the newel post. Guests can settle into the original four family bedrooms; all are ensuite, and bathrooms feature most of the original fixtures. The recently renovated kitchen includes an electric downdraft cooktop, three ovens, espresso machine and a professional series refrigerator/freezer, as well as an island for informal dining for three or four. The formal diningroom - with a vintage Empire chandelier and a beautiful stained-glass bay window - seats 8. Guest access Butchart books full-house rentals only, so only one set of guests ever occupies the home at a time. Accordingly, guests have exclusive access to all the main floor rooms, as well as the indoor pool and hot tub: located just off the Great Room. Laundry facilities are located on the east side of the pool room, if required. Other things to note Please note that we are a Netflix household, and there is no cable television in the home. Wifi password is shared with guests. Guests should note that Butchart is heated with the original radiator system. That means that - in winter - the bedroom level can be chilly, although guests can ward off the chill with our down duvets and plentiful wool blankets, or the electric fireplaces and space heaters. (It also means that in summer, guests will make do with the "original" air conditioning: the cool night breezes through open windows, tilted transom windows in the bedrooms, and electric fans for extra comfort. On especially warm evenings, you can enjoy a cool dip in the pool before retiring!) ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Composting - Comprehensive recycling policy - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden - Local artist showcase - Reusable coffee/tea filters ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92410000/92402600/92402509/w1498h677x0y6-370dcee8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Kutir - Entire Cottage - 6 Privacy Acres in Meaford - 5 Mins to Georgian Bay Annan - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 10 reviews CA $315 CA $568 total includes taxes & fees Sep 30 - Oct 1 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-30&endDate=2025-10-01&selected=92402509&PinnedHotelID=92402509&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101320000/101313500/101313471/8036ec63.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relax with the whole family at this peaceful waterfront cottage.
