Welcome to 'The Aida,' a luxurious Lake Huron waterfront retreat. Nestled on a private 1.4-acre lot, this fully equipped vacation home offers unreal sunsets and serene relaxation. The Aida features 3 outdoor decks, bonfire lounge, a cozy fireplace, a modern kitchen, and three spacious bedrooms, including a rejuvenating primary suite. Located near Lion's Head and Tobermory, adventure is at your doorstep. Enjoy unparalleled relaxation at The Aida.
The Aida is responsibly managed by Grey Bruce Cottages Inc, a group of almost-famous locals dedicated to providing you with an exceptional experience.

If you should have any problems during your stay, the property manager will be your point of contact, as they are local and only a short drive away.

The neighbourhood is part of the prestigous Spry Shore Road - Hobsons Harbour community, home to the Peninsula's well healed, featuring large estate lots of over 1 acre each. The community is very welcoming.
Enjoy every minute of nature, including the private Hobsons Harbour Drive, recognized a provincial 'Scenic Route'. A quick drive with have land in the cute town of Lion's Head, home to the White Bluffs and Lion's Head Lookout Bruce Trail trailheads. Be careful with your speed, this is a family oriented community. We highly recommend a walk along Hobsons Harbour Drive to the dead end, or a boat tour along the coastline at sunset. Although the house has private lake access, there are also one popular public accesses that are each a few kilometres away. If you feel like a little different scenery while swimming - it is only steps away! There is also a sandy beach within about 15 minute drive.

"We enjoyed specular views of Lake Huron from the large open space of the kitchen/dining great room. The quiet, comfortable sleeping quarters, accommodated multiple families. The lower level TV and workout space, outdoor fire pit and deck and Lion's Head trails and groceries close by gave us lots of great options. We highly recommend and hope to

The Aida features over 135' of beautiful Lake Huron waterfront with a rocky shoreline to sit and enjoy the amazing sunsets!.

The Aida features a long private winding driveway. You can't see the home from the road for added privacy.
Select one of five outdoor deck areas to enjoy depending on the weather - have morning coffee in the screened porch, soak up the southerly sun in the afternoon, sit by the lake or cool down in the shade of the lower level deck, and enjoy the covered porch even when raining.

5.0 / 5.0
Fantastic location right on Lake Huron. Very clean, well stocked vacation rental with loads of space. My family of 4 stayed for 5 days and we loved every minute. Convenient location as well. Not too long of a drive to get to any of the fantastic sights or hikes on the peninsula.
3.0 / 5.0
Overall we had a great time. The house was clean but badly maintained. Terrible mold smell in basement, even with dehumidifier running 24/7 it was still prevalent. It's too bad because it is such a nice place and the view is amazing and the waterfront is very safe for kids.
5.0 / 5.0
This place is well maintained and clean. Staying at the place in person is way better than the photo. The lake is so shallow and water is calm in this area which is great for our smaller kids because they can venture out very far. They won't be able to go out to the deep area since the rock forms a natural barrier. They had so much fun and they also found clay fish on the lake.
5.0 / 5.0
Stayed here for a few days. Very peaceful, remote location. Great waterfront views. Nice welcome gift. Had all the basics.
Would definitely stay here again.
We did not use the lower level at all, as it was somewhat musty & would benefit from a
keeping a dehumidifier running.
5.0 / 5.0
This cottage is hands down the most well maintained we have been to. Absolutely spotless and the host was very much engaged and supportive. The property offered stunning views of the lake, all the thoughtful luxurious amenities you will need, and decor straight out of a magazine. In a prestigious and quiet neighborhood, it is a an amazing place to relax, unwind and enjoy the views and nature.
Rated 10 out of 10 for us, and we can't wait to return!
5.0 / 5.0
We have a lovely time at the cottage. It was private and had all the amenities listed. The only issue was we could not get the bbq started but since it was raining we did not bother reaching out to the host. All in all a great experience.
1.0 / 5.0
I arrived the chalet was all dirty. The check in was at 4pm and cleaning team arrive at 3h30 and left at 4h10pm. The place was still very dirty when they left. They even didn’t change the sheet of my bed. I had to clean the whole place by myself. I wrote to the manager about that and he never answered me back. Beautiful place, and incredible view but the place was so dirty and smell mold everywhere that I do not recommend this place.
5.0 / 5.0
I had a wonderful time at the Aida, the price was terrific for the size of the house. It has a great view of its own shore, as well as a lovely living area.
5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed specular views of the ice on Lake Huron from the large open space of the kitchen/dining great room. The quiet, comfortable sleeping quarters, accommodated multiple families. The lower level TV and workout space, outdoor fire pit and deck and Lion's Head trails and groceries close by gave us lots of great options. We highly recommend and hope to visit again soon!
