I don't think you're crazy at all! If my husband had his choice we would have chosen Meaford aswell, as it's close to Wasaga Beach where his parents live and all in all we just love the scenic area. We are young by the way, in our 20's, not some old-timers.
Check out Creemore if you ever have the time. It's about 20 minutes from Wasaga beach. It's a hidden wonder, I swear. The downtown looks like a scene for a movie and every season, Halloween, Christmas, Easter they have it all dressed up. There's a good shop there called 100 Mile Farms (something like that) where you can buy all local produce and meat from the area. There's also a brewery there where you can take a tour and get that free glass of beer at the end. They've also got a trendy coffee shop and art museum to check out.
