Always available for short term exchanges in Canada or Northeastern USA, particularly those which are within a few hours drive. Ideally this would be for an extended weekend, or one week maximum. |

April 01, 2023 - June 30, 2023 | 3 weeks |
We’re eager to consider future exchanges in 2023. We are heading to Denmark in September 2022, and we are open to an exchange in spring 2023, and again in fall 2023. We prefer not to exchange in July or August. |

Heritage Home close to the Lake
We are fortunate to live in a beautiful heritage home in the “Old Allandale” neighborhood of Barrie. Just an 800m walk to the south shore of Lake Simcoe, we are close to the beach, walking/cycling paths, and commuter train to Toronto.
Our home was built in 1890, and like us, the previous homeowners have made sure to maintain the heritage aspects of the house. The house sits on a half acre lot, backing on to the forested area of a huge park. The park has a playground for children, as well as sports fields and community gardens.
On the ground floor we have a kitchen, formal dining and living rooms, a den/lounge, a small bathroom, a big covered porch, and backyard patio. Upstairs, we have a large bedroom with a queen size bed, full bathroom, laundry room, as well as two offices with a double bed and single bed respectively. On the third floor, we have our secluded master suite with queen bed, spa-like bathroom, and walk-out deck in the treetops. (We also have an unfinished basement, used only for storage.)
