Spent a long weekend on a girls trip and loved our stay at Tim, Dave and Cinder’s place. The accommodations were spacious, very clean and the hosts have done an excellent job of equipping the space with thoughtful and practical details to maximize our stay.

I cannot say enough about the beautiful location and comfortable and clean accommodations. Dave and Tim are amazing hosts who care very much about making their guests happy and at home. The property and waterfront are incredible, secluded and the house is not too far away from local restaurants and attractions. My teens and I have already talked about when we will be back!

Dave and Tim were so kind to my family! We felt like we were visiting long time friends. There is a wonderful energy and love that they shared with us for their home and property. My kids loved learning about the land and playing on the “paw”. The amenities were cozy, clean, and made us feel at home. We will definitely be back!! Oh, and if you love fluffy clean white towels and crisp sheets, this is your place!! The compost bowl was also a hit for my kids, they loved being able to add to the beautiful garden! Thank you Dave and Tim!!

Lovely place. The hosts were excellent. Accommodations one of the best we have ever had. Kayaking was a main goal and with four to pick from… kayaking heaven. Nice small downtown with restaurant choices plus a grocery store not too far away PLUS a garden to pick tomatoes from!! We had a true vacation.

Just got back from yet another amazing stay with Dave, Tim and Cinder at North Paw! Morning coffee in our PJs standing on the alvar overlooking the bay with sunshine on our faces, fantastic kayak trips in the clearest of waters checking out the nearby shipwreck of the Avalon Voyager II, great hikes, abundant wildlife and camp fires to finish off the day. We just LOVE the simplicity and peace and quiet here. It's the perfect place to truly disconnect and recharge our batteries. Bliss.

My wife and I stayed for 7 night in early July 2023. Dave and Tim are wonderful hosts and very kind and thoughtful people and fun to be around. The property is like a nature sanctuary. The garden and landscape additions they have made take advantage of the existing natural beauty and make the whole property feel like a well kept arboretum. Magnificent sun sets and sunrises, peace, tranquility, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and a 180+ degree view just outside the door. We also Scuba dove several of the outstanding ship wreaks in the Fathom Five Marine Park and enjoyed hiking and biking. Terrific, and highly recommended!

Beautiful property with very kind, helpful hosts. We had a wonderful long weekend exploring the peninsula using this as our home base. The heated floors were a nice touch. The bed was extremely comfortable and the futons in the living room were easy to use and above average in terms of comfort. The kitchen supplies were basic but worked to make some simple meals. We appreciated how prepared they were for guests with lots of towels, extra sunscreen, water shoes for kayaking/swimming and local recommendations. We would happily stay again and highly recommend it

This is an incredible property with amazing hosts. The views are spectacular in all directions, amenities outstanding. Took advantage of the kayaks, campfires (made every night by Dave) and the complete tranquility of North Paw. The apartment has everything you need and was very comfortable for a fall getaway. Appreciated the visits with the owner Dave and his friendly dog Cinder. Would highly recommend this property and these hosts. Our stay was perfect. So grateful that Dave and Tim are willing to share their amazing property and home with us.

The place was great and our hosts were fantastic. They made us feel very welcome and at home. They even offered their garden bounty with us. Told us to help ourselves to garden fresh peppers, herbs and tomatoes. The property was closely located to downtown Tobermory and all the boat cruises and park trails. A great location and a really nice property with terrific hosts!

Hosts were great. Even set up a nightly fire for us! Also respectful of our preference not to be around their pooch. Hosts even shared their garden tomatoes. Great communication. Fab location with amazing views, when outside. But inside you can only see it from the bathroom. Kind of a shame in the fall with cooler Temps. Living room should be where bathroom is in my opinion. Water had a funny smell. Only a few bottled water provided. Would prefer not to have to use bottled water to be more green but tap water not doable.

Situated on a peninsula this property offers a breathtaking vista. The home is situated on weathered limestone which serves as an ideal patio for lounging and stepping into the inviting water. Kayaks are available as well to use after enjoying the scenic hikes at the nearby national park. The accommodation is spotless and spacious. Our hosts are most accommodating.
