About this cottage rental
Discover "Mary-a-Lago," a captivating French-Country inspired home nestled on 2 acres in Northern Bruce Peninsula. This one-level haven boasts a Great Room, modern kitchen, spacious bedrooms, sauna, and AC. Steps from the Bruce Trail, explore Georgian Bay, Lion's Head, Tobermory, and Bruce Peninsula National Park.

Lago is situated in central Peninsula along the historic Forty Hills logging route, 5 km away from the Bruce Trail (White Bluffs access), close to Devils Monument, 10 km away from both the warm and cold beaches of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, Greig's Caves, near the cute town of Lion's Head (great ice cream!). The famous 'Grotto' is a 20min drive North. Multiple inland lakes are nearby as well. We are also fortunate to be located in 1 of 12 rare UNESCO Biosphere reserves free of light pollution, ideal to stargaze the constellations. If active, you can hike, kayak, cycle, swim, and run until your heart is content!

great place. perfect location if you are hiking the bruce trail
4.0 / 5.0
Stayed for 4 nights with 2 friends. The property was as advertised. The kitchen area still needs some finishing, but is useable as is. There are plenty of extras on the property, including a sauna and pizza oven. We loved the outdoor space. Huge deck and great patìo with an outdoor fireplace.
The location was ideal... close to Lion's Head and hiking trails.
We are coffee drinkers, so brought a Nespresso machine, but there is a coffee pod machine. Didn't see a coffee machine that used just grinds though. Keep that in mind if you like your coffee ☕.
Nathan responded to all of my questions almost immediately from before we decided on the cottage until check out. Impressive communication!
Would stay here again.

Enjoyed our time here. Had plenty of things to do while hanging around the cottage. Would definitely come back
