Georgian Bay Kayaking Day Trip

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 26, 2022
I have had the pleasure of staying at Harmony Outdoor Inn twice. Once in the Bed & Breakfast and once in the Glamping Tents. Both times I have had a great experience! It is a real gem, the property is beautiful with a perfect waterfront to swim, relax on the dock or in a hammock. You can take a kayak or paddle board out. The owners Dympna and James are so welcoming and they really want you to enjoy your time there. Our group went out for a day on their Georgian Bay Kayaking Trip that we were able to arrange last minute when our prior plans were unexpectantly cancelled. Our guide Joedy was the best, she gave us great paddling instructions and guided us for a full day over to Franklin Island. I will recommend Harmony Outdoor Inn to family and friends.

We just returned from 2 nights in a glamping tent at Harmony. It has lots of things going for it, and I wish I could recommend it. However, I would never return or encourage anyone else to stay there. The main issue was the noise and proximity to the highway. The inn is almost adjacent to the 400 hwy and a central rail track. You are close enough to the highway that you can read the logos on the trucks when you are on the dock. The noise from the many trains (10+ each night) which blew their whistles as they pass through town and the persistent highway traffic noise made sleep almost impossible. I live in an urban environment and am surrounded by traffic noise. I don't need complete silence to sleep. The inn provides guests with disposable ear plugs to combat the train noise - these were completely ineffective. The owners are clearly aware of the noise issues. Unfortunately this is never communicated to patrons in advance - either before they book or in the very detailed information email Harmony sent out before our stay. Many other patrons had the same experience as us, and we all lamented on the fact that had we known before we came, we either would not have booked here, or, at the very least, would have brought noise cancelling devices. The other issue was the outhouse. Ours was very smelly and not very clean. It did not meet the standard I would have expected given the price point for this glamping experience. Otherwise, the property is quite nice.

It was very difficult to sleep because the property is sandwiched between Trans Canada Highway on one side and the active train railroad on another. There are approximately 30 trains that run through Perry Sound area daily, and they are required to honk at the crossings. The scenery was very beautiful, but the noise of the passing by cars and trucks on the highway as well as the trains did not allow me to relax. I live in a big city and I come up north to relax. I will not be coming again.

I wish I was told about the noise issue. If I was I would not have stayed here. I don't understand how the place can be called Harmony Inn if there is so much noise pollution all around.

We stayed only one night at the Inn while taking in some concerts at the Festival. It was absolutely delightful. A beautiful, comfortable home, welcoming interesting hosts, friendly dog, comfortable bed, delicious healthy breakfast, complimentary kayaks, lovely little beach all in a beautiful forest environment. Wonderfully situated close to town. Unfortunately also close to the 400 hwy but it really did not bother us.

B & B was excellent. Very clean and cozy. Location was great. Family dog Mollie was a joy and greeted us regularly. Even though weather was not the greatest it was still a very pleasant few days away.
