Retro Movie Retreat | Walk to BM Village

*NEW* Stay across the street from the main Blue Mountain Village entrance in this two-storey, movie-themed retreat! Enjoy film décor, a large TV, VHS and DVD favourites, a retro record player, and a popcorn machine for nostalgic nights in. With 3 bedrooms for up to 8 guests and a private patio with a gas BBQ, there’s room to relax between adventures. Walk to the ski hills, restaurants, and Monterra Golf Course.

This is our family retreat. It has been in our family for decades. We have come to the `Village` before there was a `Village`. 🙂

It has been the source of countless memories over that time. Family times. Simple times. Books. Games. And lots and lots of movies!

We had a tradition. Driving into Collingwood we would stop at the local video store. Each one of our four kids would choose a movie. When we decided to rent the unit we thought we would go with that movie theme in a big way.

Living Area
The bright living room brings the home’s movie theme to life with colourful film-inspired décor, framed posters, and plenty of seating for gathering together. Settle in for a movie on the large TV or enjoy some nostalgic tunes on the retro record player. Walk out to your private patio, complete with a gas BBQ and patio furniture for outdoor meals and relaxation.

Movies adorn the walls all through the lower level. Fun facts describe the movies.

Watch movies the old-fashioned way: a VHS machine, a DVD machine -- remember those?! (we provide a selection of movies). Yes... we still have cable... but the old ways of watching movies are still fun. And an experience some have never had.

We stayed retro with a record player that plays LPs and 45s. Cassette tapes! CDs!

Kitchen & Dining
The cheerful kitchen features warm cabinetry, retro checkered flooring, and basic cooking supplies for preparing meals, along with a toaster oven and mini fridge. Start your morning with the Keurig or drip coffee maker, with coffee pods and a selection of teas provided.

Gather around the bright dining table, where colourful diner-style placemats and a nearby popcorn machine add to the home’s playful movie theme. What movie is complete without popcorn! A limited amount of popcorn is provided. A limited selection of The Pop Shoppe pops are also provided for a nostalgic treat.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
This home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. All linens, pillows, and towels are provided for your stay.

Bedroom 1: Double bed + Ensuite (upper level)
Bedroom 2: Double bed (main level)
Bedroom 3: 1x Queen Bed & 1x Twin bed (main level)
Living area: Queen sofa bed & Double sofa bed (main level)

The upstairs bedroom is more traditional. A slay bed, original oil paintings, but even the Nevell Morrisseau print has a movie connection. It was purchased at an Olivia Newton-John fundraiser where she described her filming `Grease` and her special relationship with John Travolta.

Today, the next generation of our family is beginning to create their own memories here, as our children return with families of their own. We truly hope you will create some here as well.

Parking is available on a first come, first served basis. Two parking passes will be provided to you and must be displayed on your dash at all times.
