About this cottage rental
Welcome to DreamCatcher. A private escape boasting 120 feet of waterfront, nested in the Georgian Bluffs. An acre of beautiful zen gardens coupled with the calm waters of Shepard Lake are a perfect setting for golden sunsets and starry nights. 11 min to Sauble beach, 6 min to Dunes Golf Club, 45 min to Tobermory and 50 min to Blue Mountain = good times. Usually, our guests swim the day away and rejuvenate w/ the sauna, and cold plunge into the pristine waters from the private dock!
At DreamCatcher, the perfumed cedar wood burning sauna provides soothing therapy. Sunlight fills the vaulted cathedral ceilings in the great room while views of the shimmering lake sets the mood for the day.

Jas was an attentive and courteous host. Lovely property and great location in terms of proximity to lots of great swimming and hiking destinations.

We had a fabulous time at Jas’ place. He was very responsive and helpful through our stay. The cottage was well-maintained and had lots of space for our group. We enjoyed days on the large dock, and nights by the fire pit.

Peaceful surroundings, lots of room for a large get together both in the cottage and throughout the yard. Bring extra chairs for the dock as the ones shown on the picture are not there.
Close to Sauble Beach and stores to reload groceries and beverages.

The property was very clean and beautiful. The host was very nice and fast at responding. The location was amazing; 10 minutes to sauble beach and 25 minutes to see the sunset at South Hampton! Both are worth it! We would go back here for sure, but few things to note.
The picture isn’t fully accurate, there weren’t muskoka chairs on decks. The ad when we requested the place said hot tub, then the package you get the week before said no using the hot tub. It is nice they supply life vests for the canoe. We moved chairs from other locations to dock and bon fire. We couldn’t find matches anywhere in the house and we are non smokers so we had to go ask a neighbour for a lighter. They were nice! There are no toddler/plastic plates and cups, it’s all glass so note that if needed. I agree with another comment, the stairs downstairs are too dangerous to welcome young kids and a railing needs to be added. The basement was damp and needs a dehumidifier in the summer when the a/c is on. We couldn’t stay in the bottom two rooms for our visit because of this, so we just made the basement off limits. We used a blow up mattress (which they had which was great) and brought a basement mattress upstairs so my kids slept on the floor in the big room and my parents slept in the second upstairs bedroom.
Weird electrical in the main bedroom… when the light turns off, all electrical goes off. So our sound machine would turn off when the lights turn off which was frustrating but it was such a quiet area, we never had the kids wake up luckily. Next time we will bring a battery operated one. There were only 4 hangers in the entire place, so if you need them, request with notice.
It says for 10 people but 10 people can not shower with hot water. Not even 2 back to back. We had to go to a wedding on the Saturday and we staggered an adult shower every hour and that worked. First day when we did a back to back there was no hot water for the second person.
I will say in general, not just this listing, this “Covid” no sheets business is frustrating. That is not how you get covid. And there were blankets/covers on all beds. Just not sheets. Covid can be on sheets but not comforters? Silly. If a rental doesn’t want to do sheets, just be real and say that without the Covid excuse. But then the cleaning price should be lower if that service isn’t coming back, assuming the cleaning fee is the same as it was with the sheets service.

Fabulous Family Get-Away
Dream Catcher is a phenomenal vacation get-away for your own family or with some friends. The property is exceptional! It checked all of our boxes; large kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, LARGE outdoor living space/deck, sauna, dock at lake for kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding, and the breathtaking view from the large deck and dock. Morning coffee on the deck and/or dock; you can’t ask for anything better!!!
Jas is a great host and very responsive!
Highly recommend this piece of paradise on Lake Shepherd!!!

Wonderful lake front vacation spot
I will start with my few cons to get them out of the way. The stair well down to the basement does not have a hand rail on it and being a mom with 2 kids ages 4 and 2 that made me nervous. My hubby and me just watched the kids a bit closer but they were perfectly fine. Next we trying to figure out how to turn on the shower to outside. With a little help from the host we got that going and it was very nice. We were not able to use the hot tub do to covid hopefully we might be able to use if and when we ever come back. Well that is all for the cons.
Now for the the pros. The lake is beautiful and it was so peaceful. You might want to pack bug spray because the bugs were a little bad a night but that is to be expected by a lake. The kids loved jumping in the lake and sitting in the sauna. The property is beautiful and even though there are neighbours right next door you would never really know that with the lovely shade trees and privacy bushes which made my hubby who grew up in the country happier. There is a canoe that is provided to use which is very nice and the interior of the place was beautiful and clean. There was even a very lovely gift basket with some snake provided. My kids were really happy that there way pop corn in the basket because pop corn mean movie night. Last the host was so easy to get along with and very nice. My family would love to come back again and we highly recommend this place for your vacation.
