Things To Do
When you have the natural beauty of the Bruce Peninsula in your own back yard, there's an adventure around every corner.

A short car ride from the charming town of Wiarton, or bustling resort area of Sauble Beach, you're minutes from a host of conveniences.

Shopping
Wiarton and Sauble beach are both about 15-20 minutes away, and offer large grocery, hardware, beer and liquor stores. Both also boast a number of charming gift, antique and seasonal stores.

A little farther north, the trip to Tobermory will take you around 40 minutes. It's well worth it though. A veritable paradise for photographers, divers, hikers and boaters it offers a number of charming shops and boutiques.

Natural Beauty
Hike the world famous Bruce Trail - just be sure to bring your camera! The Bruce Peninsula is a place of Natural beauty, with many globally rare species of plants and animals, boasting some of the most striking orchids in North America. Nearby Petrel Point Nature Reserve has a beautiful boardwalk. It's a great place to view wildflowers and bird life.

Scuba-dive in crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay and explore the many shipwrecks in Tobermory's Fathom Five National Marine Park.

Take your canoe or kayak to a number of nearby inland lakes and rivers, or just launch in the bay in your own backyard.

Look For a Bargain
Down the road 10 minutes, there are loads of deals to be had at the flea market every Saturday in nearby Oliphant. On Sunday, head down highway six to the flea market at the Handicraft house.

Every Tuesday bargain hunters should plan an excursion to the farmer's Market at Keady Ontario. Roughly 45 minutes south of Howdenvale, (with a convenient stop at Tim Hortons in Hepworth), the market boasts rustic alleys packed with 250 vendors selling a wide variety of produce ranging from Niagara peaches to deli meats, home baking, crafts and a broad assortment of other goods.

Good location for nearby daytrips to towns and the Bruce Trail. Approximately 35 minutes from the Grotto and 15 from Wiarton. Cozy cottage and the front deck was nice to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun. Local beach is good if you have younger children; nice sandy area and shallow for swimming. Customer service is very good, any questions were answered promptly.

Cozy interior space with all the necessities. Large deck and grassy area for outdoor recreation. A great quiet area close to many Bruce activities. You must bring your own bedding and toiletries. No hassle check-in and great communication with host. They were able to accomodate last minute change of dates.

We enjoyed our stay for the most part but the cottage was too small for the 6 of us. We are bigger people and had some issues grtting in and out of the bedrooms. Also the Beach they have listed in the ad barely goes up to your shins no matter how far you go out and is covered in sharp rocks. The sand is nice to play in though. We went swimming at sauble.

It had a beautiful quiet beach and our dog loves swimming, and a wonderful fire pit to roast marshmallows on in the evening. A very short drive to Sable Beach so it’s a great location!

It was a pleasant stay at this cottage which has everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Instructions were clear, check in process was smooth and enjoyed the stay as the cottage felt very welcoming. So nothing to complain at all. The best part was patio lights and the fire pit where we had a evening hangout with our family. Also the lakefront is within couple of mins from the place. All in all, a great stay.

We enjoyed three nights at this family cottage. Would recommend buying groceries before arriving. Also you may be asked to provide your own bedding, which we not onerous.

There is no Cleaning Service between renters. This did not make us comfortable specially during Covid. How do we know this the previous renters left their sheet on the kitchen table. We were told we needed to bring so many essensials such as toilet paper, paper towel etc. which was not stated on the VRBO site only to find all of these available at the cottage. We went for a hiking trip so location is good. One bonus is there is a filtration system so you can drink the water.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. It was in a great location, and easy to get to. The house was very clean, comfortable bed, and can't think of anything we would need that wasn't there. I would definitely stay here again!!!

This cottage is exactly as shown in the vrbo site. Upon arrival the property was well groomed and the front porch very welcoming. The interior was immaculate and well furnished. The kitchen was well appointed and met the needs of 3 very good cooks. The owners were very informative and were readily available to take our calls. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone except those who find stairs a challenge.

We absolutely loved this cottage and the owners were extremely easy to work with. The place had a nice woodburning fireplace that made the cool Fall evenings super cozy. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare all our meals. We were able to enjoy a view of the lake at sunset from the deck which wrapped around to the backyard with a fire pit. Location was off the beaten track but that's what we wanted and it made for a quiet peaceful stay. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to come back again.

OK but small even for three people; six people as listed would be too many I think.
