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!)
