Welcome to Glenn Highlands. 

Glenn Highlands is a family getaway where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and soak in the ease and silence of Grey County’s magnificent countryside.  As the sun rises over the eastern hillsides, the morning mist lifts to reveal a stunning view that runs across farmed fields to the shores of Georgian Bay.   Days can be filled exploring the trails on or off the property, relaxing fireside or poolside with a great book, or taking in all the surrounding area has to offer.  A visit to Glenn Highlands can be as relaxed or as adventurous as you want it to be.  Make it your own.

The Farmhouse – a fully-modernized, 3500 sq ft, turn-of-the-century home where up to 12 people can comfortably eat and sleep.  The farmhouse features four spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms, living room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Georgian Bay, dining room with a table for 12, screened-in porch for outdoor eating, gourmet kitchen with double oven, lower level with a 65” TV and games room, two working fireplaces and Wi-Fi.

The Barn - for those rainy days, the barn has a half-pipe and basketball hoop to while away the hours.

The Lands – the farmhouse is set on a 50-acre farm with two streams running between the fields.  On the eastern edge of the land runs East Minniehill Creek, which winds its way south, dumping into the Bighead River.  Trails run along the edges of the fields and through the trees.  Glenn Highlands offers an outdoor pool, beautiful gardens and large lawn with a fire pit – the perfect place for evening star-gazing.

The Area – nestled in the heart of Grey County, Glenn Highlands puts you at the doorstep of the Niagara Escarpment, one of the world's natural wonders – a masterpiece of living art that encompasses farms, recreation areas, sweeping scenic views, 1675 foot cliffs, clear streams, wetlands, pebbled beaches, rolling hills, pristine waterfalls, wildlife habitats, historic sites, villages, towns and cities.  Grey County offers an abundance of experiences that allows you to take advantage of each of the four seasons.  Whether you are looking for endless outdoor adventure, home-grown arts and culture, or epic food experiences, Grey County’s got it all.

Looking for some physical activity?  Close at-hand are the Bruce Trail (Canada’s oldest and longest), the Trout Hollow Trail, and the Tom Thompson Trail – all perfect for summer hiking or winter snowshoeing.  The roads surrounding Glenn Highlands are made for cyclists who like to combine challenging climbs with valley descents.  The beaches that line the shores of Georgian Bay are just minutes away and the Bighead River, and just down the road at the Trout Hollow Trail head, is a renowned fly fishing destination.  The Beaver Valley and Niagara Escarpment also features some of the best rock climbing in Ontario.  In the winter, take advantage of the many downhill and cross-country ski options offered throughout the County.

Maybe not so much effort?  Leisurely explore the charming villages that dot Grey County.  There is Thornbury, set at the base of the Niagara Escarpment and at the mouth of the Beaver River.  Amble through the streets and take in the boutiques, galleries, restaurants, cider house & brewery and spas.  Clarksburg, Kimberley, Meaford, Flesherton, Blue Mountain Village and Collingwood are also nearby.   All yours to explore.

The History – Grey County is home to trail-blazing pioneers who have left their mark here and on Canada.  Names of people you may know include John Diefenbaker, Agnes Macphail, Tom Thomson, Nellie McClung, Norman Bethune, Billy Bishop, and John Muir.  And some might need a bit more exploration, like Beautiful Joe, Seymour Eaton, and Nahnebahwequay (Catherine Sutton).   Come and discover the places that were theirs and the contributions they made.
