We were thrilled to be able to return to Creekside Cottage for a winter week-end getaway. Again we had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the cozy ambience and gorgeous views. The bottle of wine and chocolates waiting for us was also such a great welcome! And once again, our time went too fast and we were sad to have to leave so soon.

My friends and I were very comfortable at Creekside Cottage. It is well designed, cozy and tastefully decorated. Our favourite place in the house was the spot off the kitchen where we could curl up in an armchair with a book and a view of the running brook. A gem!

This was a wonderful little cottage that was immaculately clean and well stocked. Beautifully decorated with quality and comfort in mind. The outdoor garden area with a stream running through it was peaceful and calming. We didn't want to leave!

We love the Creekside Cottage. So quiet and perfect to come home after a either a day at Sauble Beach/exploring the Bruce Trail or a day in Owen Sound. So clean and comfortable. Everything you need to to relax.

We had a great stay at this cottage! The cottage was clean and well set up for guests. We enjoyed being so close to the creek, and used the fire pit each night. The cottage is only 10-15 min from Sauble beach, Owen Sound, and several conservation areas. Our boys fished in Shallow Lake a few times and caught 12 fish. The general store had everything, and the coffee shop and restaurant were good as well.

Tout d'abord, Bettie, notre hôte a été vraiment gentille, du début à la fin. Disponible rapidement pour nos questionnement et une hospitalité des plus appréciable. Et, que dire du cottage très propre. Puis le terrain extérieur permettant de se faire un beau feu sur le bord de la rivière. En plus, nous étions près des attraits de la péninsule de Bruce. À recommander à tous !!!!

This was a super clean, cozy and charming cottage. The owner is very organized and easy to deal with. Shallow Lake is a quiet town, the general store and coffee shop have everything you need. We have 3 young children - we went to Sauble Beach and Story Book Park during our stay. Berford Lake (north shore) also has a great beach that is much quieter than Sauble if you're looking for a change of pace. The playground in Shallow Lake (beside the arena) is AMAZING - best playground we have ever seen and perfect for those 6 am wake ups when I needed to get the kids out of the house so my hubby could catch some more sleep. Overall it was a great vacation - with 3 small children I wouldn't say I was relaxed (LOL) but the kids had an awesome experience. I would love to come back sans kids and make use of all the cozy reading nooks at this cottage! FYI - you'll need to do some baby proofing when you arrive at this cottage if you have toddlers - there are lots of interesting things for them to get into and touch. : )

The cottage was welcoming, nicely decorated and very clean. The location was central to the places we wanted to visit. Communication with Bettie was 5 star. She was very helpful! I would recommend this cottage to my friends and family. 😀

The Creekside Cottage is an expanded, renovated house that is in immaculate condition. It sits beside a stream with lots of mature trees around it. My wife enjoyed her morning tea out on the deck listening to the running water. Perfect. The grounds are well taken care of. We found everything we needed in the cottage including instructions for the major appliances & lots of literature on the area. The barbeque was appreciated. Shallow Lake is a small village with few fences, friendly people and little noise. The quiet was quite noticeable at first but not hard to get used to. It was easy to communicate with Bettie & she made sure we were informed & comfortable. Access was no problem. Having never been to the area before, the location was good for visiting many different sites and hiking some sections of the major trails. Our week at this property was just what we needed at this time. Thank you. We would like to stay at the Creekside Cottage again.

So many thoughtful touches, including a bottle of wine and chocolates to help celebrate our 25th anniversary. Comfy beds and the view from the kitchen to the creek made dinner prep a treat. Thanks Bettie.

Late August visit and loved that the cottage is located between Owen Sound and Sauble. It is so quiet and peaceful and a short drive to the beach. Made it easy to compartmentalize activities. Sleep like a dream as it was so quiet. Cottage is impeccably clean and has everything you need to relax. Thanks Bettie and Rob.

Our second time at this comfortable and worry free home where you can truly relax. Very well equipped and feels like home. Visited Spirit Rock and Bruce's Caves just a short drive away. We had a lovely time.

The perfect location and great modern conveniences fully decked out with modern appliances and a fully-equipped kitchen. Are Hostess Betty was very organized and they're readily available for communications or questions and it was very accommodating. The house was very clean and yes the rooms are a little small but it's no issue when there are so many things to do near the cottage. There was a clean BBQ and the creek in the backyard was an added bonus for both a morning coffee or an afternoon play time with the kids. You're only minutes from Sauble Beach and Owen Sound and about 1 hour from Tobermory. A great little spot and would not hesitate to book again.

Our experience with this property and the owner was excellent. The house was very clean and nicely appointed. It’s within driving distance to many attractions. I think this house would make a great getaway no matter the season as it is close to beaches, walking trails, ski trails, and shopping. Finally, our interaction with the owner was very good. She was organized, kind, and helpful. My husband and I would love to visit this property again.

We really enjoyed our stay a tthis place. It exceeded our expectations, we promise to be back on a future vacation.

Gracious host. Comfortable and worry free stay. Everything you need available to have a great time.

We enjoyed our mid-week getaway immensely. Creekside cottage has all the amenities and comforts of home with the added benefits of being close to nordic ski trails, conservation parks, Sauble and South Hampton beaches, and eclectic Owen Sound (10 to 15 min drive). Tobermory is an hour away. We enjoyed them all and want to visit again to do more exploring. Coming back to the cottage after a day out is a pleasure as you can put your feet up with a glass of wine in the sunroom off the kitchen while dinner is being cooked (or pizza being ordered - popular pizza place around the corner with a mercantile general store beside it if you need anything else (3 minute walk). There is a picnic table a bbq, and a campfire pit if you want to stay outdoors a little longer. We noticed the stars were extra bright and numerous and enjoyed hearing the gurgling of the creek as we sat outside. The 10 minute walk to Shallow Lake is a nice way to begin or end your day. We are definitely coming back with friends and family.The host is super helpful and very responsive. We highly recommend this place!

We stayed here for a weekend in July around wedding festivities we were attending in the vicinity. Though we didn't have space in our schedule to take full advantage of the cottage or the area, we were so impressed by the tasteful excellence with which this little "home" has been renovated to suit its purpose of hosting guests. We love the area from having lived in Owen Sound previously and know that this location will allow lots of wonderful exploring of GreyBruce and the peninsula. The cottage itself is practical and well-equipped, cosy, fresh and welcoming. The creek running behind is a beautiful bonus! Your hosts are no more than a quick email away and so responsive and helpful. A beautiful little get-away spot and the butter tarts at the general store were yummy too!

Thanks for the advice. We walked to mercantile and enjoyed the $2 ice cream! And we cycled the easy roads both to sauble beach and Owen Sound. We definitely want to come again. It was a relaxing place.

An amazing place to come back to afterhiking Bruce trail. Rest feet, enjoy surrounding and peace! We will definitely be back for a winter escape! Would recommend 1,000x over!

We had such a wonderful time at this cottage. It fit six adults just perfectly. Every thing was fresh, modern and very clean. The kitchen is equipped with everything one needs. The two bathrooms were perfect. I loved the wee sink in the powder room. The mattresses are the best! I think I'm going to buy those mattresses for my beds at home....so comfy and cozy! And the setting is perfect with a lovely stream running through the backyard. It was 5 minutes to the ski and snow shoeing place so we could enjoy the outdoors and only 12 minutes from town so we could shop and go to a concert at night at the Heartwood Hall. Don't miss the Owen Sound Artists' Co-op. We ate dinner at Casero Kitchen Table...yummy! The owners were very helpful and gave us great suggestions of where to go in town and where to eat. A lovely time was had by all and we will definitely go back!
