A fabulous cottage that had everything that we needed. Our adult children paddle boarded, kayaked and biked with all supplied. Owner quickly responded with the few questions/concerns that we had. We would highly recommend this location.

We enjoyed everything about our stay at this cottage! The location is close to town and also hiking trails in the national park and along the Bruce Trail. We spent the morning sipping coffee by the waters edge, then kayaked, flew kites and went on hiking adventures each day of our stay. We went for ice cream in town and enjoyed the uniqie and beautiful sunsets by the campfire every evening. Swimming was also a big hit with the kids...we paddle boarded and snorkeled. The beauty of nature at this location is phenomenal. We saw butterflies, frogs, rabbits, squirrels, eagles, ducks and seaguls. Amazing cottage for families to spend quality time together and make cherished memories ❤️

We loved our stay! Such a great spot to check out Tobermory and Bruce Peninsula National Park. Sitting in the Blue chairs by the lake each night to watch the sunset was our favorite. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to make meals each day. The beds were so comfortable and we slept well our entire stay. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

The cottage had a beautiful view of the lake. It was nice to have two sitting areas outside, one on the deck and one closer to the lake. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had a wonderful relaxing stay.

5.0 / 5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location is excellent - just a few minutes to town and the park but far enough away to feel private. We had specifically looked for a rental with kayaks and it was easy to get out on the water in the provided kayaks and paddle boards. The view of the water from the deck is fantastic! We had a few questions for the owner and he was always quick to respond and courteous. We'd definitely stay here again.

Beautiful house near Tobermory- was great in every way.
3.0 / 5.0
On the first day, someone in our group was injured when a drawer containing pots was pushed in, resulting in a cut to the side of their finger and a puncture wound from metal on the same finger. To avoid similar accidents, do not open or close the white plastic drawers from the bottom as the sliding mechanisms beneath move independently of the containers.
Upon entering the cottage, we noticed that the property was a little dirty, with crumbs and debris littering the floor. We didn't think much of it until we read the final cleanup instructions in the welcome binder, which asked that the place be left practically spotless.
A day into our stay, we discovered that the hot tub cleaning supplies bin had been left open during a rainstorm. Although we initially thought someone in our group had taken off the lid, it turned out to be like that the entire time. We messaged the property owner, but their response was apathetic. I hope this won't be taken out of the deposit.
Finally, two members of our group developed bad cases of folliculitis and another member had a similar unidentified skin reaction after using the hot tub during the second and third nights. The hot tub is clearly an old one and if a hot tub is not regularly cleaned after it starts getting used, it will accumulate more and more bacteria; infrequent cleanings may not be able to undo this damage. Do not use the hot tub.

Quiet peaceful well maintained
Our third stay there and each stay has been a delight. When the weather is not overcast it is a night sky wonderland

Everything about this property is wonderful. We arrived in the midst of a snowstorm and found a cozy cottage with large windows that were perfect for looking out over the waves crashing onto the rocky shore. I highly recommend a stay here and will definitely return to explore more in the summer. Thank you for a wonderful holiday escape 😊

We had a wonderful time at the Tobermory Cottage. The view is amazing and despite mostly rainy days, the stormy days made for some beautiful pictures. The sunsets we did have were pretty incredible. We loved the privacy of the cottage and the up to date amenities as well as the hot tub. It’s a short drive to the town of Tobermory for a bite to eat. The Tobermory Brewing Company was very good and The Green Door restaurant in Wiarton was excellent too. Overall, it was a great week and thank you to Dan and Lesley for allowing us to stay at their lovely cottage. We highly recommend it.

A beautifully appointed cottage overlooking Lake Huron. The sunset view is breathtaking. Lovely and private in September and early October. The only disappointment was our difficulty getting to the water due to the rocky shoreline. (but we are in our 70's) We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was both relaxing and revitalizing. A wonderful spot.

Relaxing Honeymoon!
We spent our honeymoon here and it was exactly what we were hoping for! Super cute cottage, with a beautiful view of the water and it is so close to town. Very quiet and private, and we appreciated how much care Dan and Lesley took to make sure we felt comfortable and they promptly answered all of our questions. Great amenities like the kayak and hot tub, and the firepit was great to spend time around. Thanks so much Dan and Lesley!

So private and quiet; a natural paradise!
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage immensely! It was so peaceful, quiet, and a wonderful way to enjoy time with family! Bruce Peninsula National Park is very close (within 10 minutes) and this was the perfect place to experience the hiking trails of the park and then unwind and relax in comfort with gorgeous scenery (the property fronts on Lake Huron). Dan was a wonderful host and easy to contact! Don't hesitate to book here!

Relaxing visit with a great view of the open lake.
The property is quiet and private in the off season, with a lovely view. The house is very nicely updated and clean, with a great deck and large main room. Very comfortable! Highly recommend.
We did have difficulty opening the box containing the key. Perhaps an updated system would work better?
