Liz was great with communication right from the start. This charming cottage was the perfect gettaway for our 20th anniversary! Thanks Liz and Paul!

My friends and I had the most marvelous, restorative stay at this true cottage. When we took that long, winding driveway into the property, we knew we were onto something special.
The proximity to the Bruce Trail, first drew us to the property, and we walked the Lionshead peninsula both ways. In the evenings we played games and watched opera! (We had brought up our favourites). And I must mention the incredibly well stocked kitchen. I have never encountered this level of thoughtfulness in any of my VRBO stays before.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cottage, and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, with all the comforts you could wish for. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into making this a perfect getaway spot.
The setting is tranquil and serene, providing the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether it was enjoying coffee on the porch, soaking in the peaceful surroundings, or exploring the nearby trails, every moment was a delight.
I highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat.

Had a very enjoyable time at this quiet, cute, little cottage. So nice to get away from cell service and listen to the quietness of nature. Would visit again.

We were needing a peaceful retreat, and Cobblestone Cottage provided exactly that. We were alarmed by a recent review complaining of mould, but this must have been addressed. With a rapid plunge in temperature from heatwave to much cooler, damp weather, we did feel the need for some heat, and the instructions about this were a little confusing. It would have been helpful to have all instructions up-to-date and together in one place. Not having potable water was not an issue for us, but might be for others, especially anyone with young children. The English decor touches were a special treat, as one of us grew up in Birmingham. All in all, just the place for us.

Well the cabin and the surrounding area was tucked away in the woods. Caution not to arrive after dark. As soon as we entered Barrow Bay we lost wifi. We had to drive away from area to let family and friends know that’s e arrived okay. Although it looked clean, we soon realized that the sofas we quite dusty and the cabin smelled moldy. The rooms had fans but they were house to dead bugs. We didn’t touch them. We bunked out in the living area of the cabin becoming of the mold in the bedrooms. It was terrible. The bathroom vent was clogged and noticeably dirty. We opted out and left for home Sunday morning. If we got anything from our trip to this cabin is that.. there is no place like home. They seriously need to do something about the mold .

This little cottage is like something from a fairytale :) We absolutely loved it and would happily go back. The kitchen was very well equipped and the location of this cottage is great if you want to explore some of the less busy parts of the peninsula. The owners have a fantastic map of south peninsula hikes!

The cottage was so cozy and wonderful. It was a perfect romantic getaway for me and my partner. Right near the Lions Head entrance for the Bruce trail. The hike was incredible!! Elizabeth was prompt and very kind and helpful.

We very much enjoyed our stay in the stone cottage. The property itself is gorgeous and private and perfectly located if you want to visit Sauble Beach, hike Lion’s Head or visit the Grotto at Tobermory. We were able to do all three during our 3 night stay. The cottage itself is cozy and rustic with basic supplies. The beds are very comfortable. Unfortunately the indoor fireplace was not working during our stay so it was a bit chilly during the mornings and evenings at the end of September. But we were able to enjoy the outdoor fireplace in the evenings as we watched the incredible Canada goose migration overhead.

Wish we could stay forever! Perfectly hidden in the woods for a peaceful reset.
Lions head beach is only 5 minutes away and it was beautiful! So much to see and admire in this area

The property is very cozy, quiet, great for spending nights together with family and friends in the living room or outside by the bbq. The location is convenient, a short drive to the Lion's Head Lookout Trail or the downtown area with restaurants. Personally I found the beds very comfortable and slept great.
There are just a few things which could be improved: more thorough cleaning, as there are spiderwebs and some dusty shelves, and some pet hair was on a bedroom pillow. I'm noting this especially for those who have allergies. Additionally since the tap water is not for drinking, it would be nice if a small amount of bottled water was supplied just until guests can go purchase water. (The close grocery store in Lion's Head is not open late). The lighting outside is very minimal, a bit hard to bbq after the sun sets. Keep in mind you must bring all of your water, plus sheets, blankets and bath towels. If the soft items would be provided by the host and cleaning was improved it would really improve the experience to be a 5 star stay.
Nonetheless it's still a great option in Lion's Head and we had a lovely comfortable stay :)

Extremely private, quiet, pitch black at night and close to amenities.

I was looking for a rustic, home-away-from-home, that would provide all the ammenities of home with feeling like I was just staying in someone's 'house'.
The seclusion and privacy were superb, but I was close enough to many points and places of interest that made it the perfect daily 'landing spot'.
I am ready planning an autumn return!
FIVE STARS!!

The loooong laneway to the cottage made it feel very special. the carpet of green with little purple flowers in the forest around the cottage was magical. And there was absolute privacy. Like a lovely fairyland cottage!

Excellent location for exploring Bruce Peninsula. It is simple/rustic with pleasant grounds and large patio space. Cottage was very comfortable, and had everything we needed (kitchen has all of the essentials, fans for hot days, etc.). Owners were very responsive and helpful with any questions and some minor issues.

This secluded hideaway is reached up a long winding drive and gave us the privavy and quiet we were looking for. If you drove by it, you would never know it was there. Although the cottage harkens back to an earlier time, Liz and Paul have managed to maintained its rustic charm, while making sure that it provides all the modern conveniences city dwellers like us could need. The mattresses were comfortable and looked new, and the kitchen provided all we needed for cooking, and it was great to be able to sit out on the large patio with a coffee and soak up the morning sun. The cottage itself was cool all day, even though we were there in some of the hottest weather this summer. Thanks, Liz and Paul, for providing us with a much needed and enjoyable break.

Great location for day tripping across northern Bruce. The building is on the rustic side but a great fit for our family. We did not find the little lake access to be useful, for swimming we drove to Lion's Head. Cottage was well equipped. Some parts of the outside are showing their age and need of repairs and updates, but did not affect star gazing. Needs a new BBQ!

My family and I stayed at this unique cobblestone cottage and really enjoyed our experience. It's tucked away in a little wooded area and provides a feeling of being in a fairytale. The location is also great since it's very close to Lion's Head and not too long of a drive to Tobermory. Liz was a wonderful host and was quick to answer our questions. We would highly recommend this place to those looking for a good location and a unique rustic cottage experience.

We had a great, quiet getaway at Cobblestone. The place is definitely rustic as advertised, and it was an excellent location from which to explore the Bruce Peninsula.

The cabin is hidden back with a long winding driveway but there is another property close by that’s only partially hidden by trees. The outside was not very clean, including windows. Inside was clean but beds are not comfortable at all and shower is small with a tiny shower head. These are minor issues, especially if you’re trying to “rough” it, but at this price, you’re definitely paying for location.

The Cobblestone Cottage is a cute rustic cottage surrounded by lots of greenery. It really makes you feel like you’ve gotten away from the hustle and bustle of our day to day lives.
