A beautiful property and a well appointed and very comfortable cottage. Lovely garden that is well tended. Cozy gas fireplace. Comfy furnishings and beds. Kitchen well equipped along with laundry appliances.

Off season allowed us to have a quiet peaceful time,all other cottages were empty.Cottage is clean and very well equipped breathtaking view of Lake Huron,with awesome sun sets.No tv or radio added to our relaxation and lots of wildlife sightings and bird song was really appreciated.Would highly recommend,and have booked another stay in the near future.

We really enjoyed the First on Elmslie Oasis cottage. The lakeview is exceptional, nice backyard with a firepit and deck, and we made good use out of the full kitchen. It was quickly apparent that the cottage has been kept in pristine condition. Every little detail down to outdoor and indoor games, to water toys in the shed/poolhouse were thought of. We can't wait to go back.

Cottage was really nice and roomy and clean.Had everything we needed in the kitchen. The view of the lake is beautiful. Great firepit area and lots of outdoor seating

When you plan to go back to the place again that means you are very happy with the experience that you had and I am definitely going to book this place again in the summer

This is a charming, very comfortable cottage, with an absolutely stunning view of the lake. You can hear the waves of Laken Huron crashing! A central fireplace kept us warm in early April, and lent a wonderful atmosphere to this cozy cottage. Although we didn’t use it in April, the backyard is very private and has a beautiful fire pit area and gardens. Definitely a 10! Only about a 5 minute drive to Bayfield for some great trails, shopping … and The Black Dog. Great little Pub in town. Loved our time here at Elmslie ❤️

Excellent cottage. It had everything we needed. Breathtaking view of the lake ...even in Winter!

This spot made for a fun, 4-day getaway in late October. Bayfield was super cute and so was this property. Had a great dinner at Hub on the Docks. Unfortunately it rained quite a bit, but during the weather breaks the view was gorgeous and the cottage itself was clean and cozy. We really enjoyed the firepit area (during a short break in the rain) once we figured out how to get the back lights on. We were with a family group so it would have been great if there were a larger table for all of us to sit at for dinner. The hightop games table is not really compatible for that. The kitchen was fairly well equipped but confusingly organized. We had to ad-lib for a lack of a large spaghetti pot or strainer. An overall lack of lighting in the living room made it difficult to play games together at night. The listing was described as pet-friendly, but through on-going communications after we had already put down our deposit we found there were numerous limits to that: "1 small dog" happened to work for our tiny, well-behaved pup, but wouldn't for many families. He wasn't allowed on the furniture, or to be left alone at any time, and always needed to be immediately cleaned up behind, as any evidence of fur or droppings meant additional charges. This made it a hard to relax and was certainly tricky when it came to sight-seeing as we were meant to always have him along, when he would have been much happier napping at home. There were other policies in place that we also found a bit restrictive - the property is monitored by a surveillance system that apparently includes tracking for noise and number of internet connections. We were told the cameras would be turned off just before and after our stay, but there was no real way to ensure that had been done. The noise monitor had us a bit jumpy with a couple of very well-behaved but typically boisterous teens in tow. We understand that it's probably nerve-wracking to have many strangers on your property, and this was obviously a policy meant to inhibit huge parties. Perhaps this owner has been burned before. But for a small, family-oriented group it all felt rather oppressive, and the language in the orientation documents was full of warnings and condescension (e.g. notes on how to travel with your dog: he/she will probably be scared, bring toys!); it could have been more welcoming and helpful. All in all, it was a nice stay and we would book here again. Would love to enjoy it in nicer weather!

From the moment we walked into this beautiful cottage with a view of the lake, with the welcome notes and homemade pet treats for my little dog and the care taken with the decor we felt instantly at home. Spotlessly clean with a kitchen that had everything needed and a backyard with stairs leading to a private shoreline view - we loved our short time and would come back again.

A beautiful cottage, so very comfy, clean and welcoming. Excellent base for traveling around the Lake Huron shores. Breathtaking views of sunsets. So peaceful and calm. Jennifer is the perfect host! Look forward to coming back next season!

The setting of the cottage was spectacular. The view of the lake and the falling leaves made every moment looking out that window breathtaking. Jennifer responded immediately to any concerns and was such a welcoming host. The cottage was comfortable and well stocked. After a lovely thanksgiving weekend we feel very grateful.

I was so happy with the kitchen and the stock in the kitchen. The property was clean and had the best view from the back. The fire pit was a big thing for us also. Beds were comfy and rooms were clean roomy and decorated so nicely

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The outside shower is quite private and a wonderful feature. The firepit is well designed and afforded a fun afternoon roasting marshmallows. It's a long stairway down to the lake but it's in excellent condition. The break wall at the lake has maintained a good sandy beach. There is a short but very manageable drop from the break wall into the lake. The lake has a good sandy bottom and is shallow for a reasonable distance from shore. Jennifer at CottagStays.ca is an outstanding host. Her communication was very responsive and helpful. We had a couple of things that we didn't know how to operate. (our fault) We e-mailed Jennifer and her response was almost immediate. She arrived at the cottage within an hour to help us. She is a delightful person. We'll be back!

We enjoyed one week of staying in this cottage. We had access to the lake to swim which was great(be aware there are 60 stairs to the beach so it is not easy for elderly or kids or people with any walking restrictions). The place is very clean and equipped with all you need. The mattresses and pillows are comfy. The place is close drive to Bayfield which is a big plus. You can dine out and do your shopping if required.

What an amazing, beautiful and well equipped cottage this is! Elmslie Oasis left nothing to be desired. The rooms are well appointed and beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and a pleasure to work in. It has more than you can ask for - the supply of crockery, cutlery, salad bowls, large server platters, non stick utensils, and much, much more. Even the laundry and dishwasher detergents were quite generously supplied. It feels more like a fully stocked home vs. a rental place. The BBQ was in perfect, clean condition. The backyard is very pretty. The lake is absolutely gorgeous - We got to experience both strong waves to enjoy and swim in the calm waters. Its so private, only couple of other families were there from the cottages on either side of Elmslie. The permanent sand bank structure that is built on the beach is great, so that the beach is not lost. The cottage even has a lovely outdoor shower with an enclosure! Very spacious! And has both hot/cold water and large hooks on the side and the door to hang towels and change of clothes! Jennifer and Lea were wonderful - they took such great care of us, and ensured all our questions were answered. They even called us the next day after arrival, proactively, just to make sure we had everything we needed! Service at its best! After many years, we found a cottage that was so lovely and gave us wonderful memories. We will return, regularly to Elmslie Oasis, a true Oasis! Thank you, Team CottageStays, and thank you, the Owners of Elmslie Oasis for letting us share your beautiful home!

The house is incredibly furnished and provides a home away from home. The kitchen is big, bright, and fun to cook in. Bedrooms are comfortable and large. Bathrooms are clean, bright, and fully furnished. The living room is big and comfortable with large chairs and a comfortable couch. Outside premises are perfect for family gatherings....chairs/table/firepit and the beach is excellent for swimming and relaxing. The gardens make the place cozy and add a beautiful natural touch to the cottage. The best part was the incredible Lake Huron sunsets which we could watch on the beach or in our chairs by the house.

We have been renting cottages in the Bayfield area for many years and without a doubt, First on Elmslie Oasis is the best experience we have ever had!!! The cottage is beautifully decorated and accented, and the design and resulting views from the main living space and master bedroom are second to none!!! Spectacular or as my 8 year old son put it, this place is gorgeous!!! And trust me, that’s never happened before…my wife’s favorite “accessory” was the outdoor shower! Nice touch! The fire pit, beach and world famous sunsets were awesome! The bike ride into town was perfect and we enjoyed the front and back patios at The Albion, as well as The Black Dog (but kudos to the Albion, for understanding what a benefit it is to put your name on the list and get a text when your table is ready - a huge benefit to the retailers of the town as you can then stroll about instead of waiting in line - get with the program, Black Doggie!!! Your days are numbered if you continue to be pompous asses!!!). And the welcome gift of chocolate bark (and doggie treats for our Golden) was a perfect touch! We can not wait to return!!! Thanks!

If you need a break for the craziness in the world this is the place for you. The cottage is impeccable and the view of the lake amazing. The lake is easily accessible especially if you have water dogs who want to be in it all the time. The cottage is comfortable with everything you need to relax. Thanks so much Jennifer for accomodating us after our original dates did not happen due to COVID.You are a responsive and understanding host.

Perfect spot for a getaway! Views and sunset are stunning! Cottage is well stocked with all you need for the week! All communication and instructions were well communicated and helpful. Looking forward to a return visit !
