Your cottage, every season.
Shared ownership of 19 lakefront cottages in the Haliburton Highlands. Five weeks a year, no chores.
Welcome to Marcus Beach
It's your cottage. We just take care of it.
Marcus Beach is shared cottage ownership: the luxury of a four-season lakefront cottage without the time and cost of owning one outright.
Just show up for your week. Your freshly cleaned cottage, fresh linens and towels are waiting. Paddle a kayak, relax on the dock or the covered porch, play pickleball, walk Joe's Trail, then curl up by the fireplace.

Your week, every summer
How ownership works
Shared ownership. It is not a timeshare.
Each cottage is 100 percent owned by its 10 shareholders. Buy one share or several, and leave the maintenance to someone else.
Five weeks a year
One fixed week every summer, plus four more through the year chosen in rotation. Many owners hold two or three shares.
Run by owners
A board of fellow owners hires a professional property manager. Your annual fee covers actual costs, nothing more.
Rent, trade or travel
Rent out weeks you can't use, trade with other owners, or exchange through RCI at 3,700 resorts worldwide.
