We had a wonderful stay at North Paw! The property and views are gorgeous; house and grounds are immaculate. Kayaks are an added bonus and there was even a bonfire set up and ready for lighting. Dave and Tim are perfect hosts -- welcoming and helpful while allowing privacy and space for exploring. Definitely recommend!

Dave, Tim and Cinder the dog were great hosts. Beautiful, quiet, peaceful place to relax in the sun by the water, kayak, read and watch incredible sunsets. They even shared the bounty of their garden and friends fresh eggs with us. Thanks so much, we will be back👍

Lovely view. Very clean and comfortable. Very nice host.

My wife and I stayed for 7 night in early July 2023. Dave and Tim are wonderful hosts and very kind and thoughtful people and fun to be around. The property is like a nature sanctuary. The garden and landscape additions they have made take advantage of the existing natural beauty and make the whole property feel like a well kept arboretum. Magnificent sun sets and sunrises, peace, tranquility, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and a 180+ degree view just outside the door. We also Scuba dove several of the outstanding ship wreaks in the Fathom Five Marine Park and enjoyed hiking and biking. Terrific, and highly recommended!

Our stay at North Paw was a positive and relaxing experience. The setting of the property is scenic and beautiful; and the location is close to Tobermory for accessing the harbour tours, shops, hiking trails, and Visitor Centre. Our hosts Dave and Tim went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home; and were friendly and helpful throughout our stay - including setting us up for kayaking! Thank you! We definitely recommend this accommodation to others looking to explore the area.

Property is super clean and well maintained. The hosts were great.

We were greeted by the fabulous hosts and their dog when we arrived. The property and amenities were fantastic. We had such a wonderful time- it was a great home base to our Tobermory travels.

The hosts were very helpful and welcoming. The residence was immaculate and very well maintained. The view was amazing and the location was peaceful. We will visit again in the future.

Everything about our stay was great! From the beautiful location, to Dave and Tim's hospitality, to the care that they put into this cottage, came together to make for a phenomenal vacation. Their property is also well taken care of, with trails to walk around it, and chairs to lounge on. It is clear that Dave and Tim put a lot of work into making this property a lovely place to stay!

I am speechless because everything is just wonderful! Many thanks to Dave, Tim & Cinder. My family and I had an amazing 4-day vacation. Highly recommend if you are fond of nature!

This property is right on the water. Perfect view of sunrise and sunsets.

Beautiful property with very kind, helpful hosts. We had a wonderful long weekend exploring the peninsula using this as our home base. The heated floors were a nice touch. The bed was extremely comfortable and the futons in the living room were easy to use and above average in terms of comfort. The kitchen supplies were basic but worked to make some simple meals. We appreciated how prepared they were for guests with lots of towels, extra sunscreen, water shoes for kayaking/swimming and local recommendations. We would happily stay again and highly recommend it

This is an incredible property with amazing hosts. The views are spectacular in all directions, amenities outstanding. Took advantage of the kayaks, campfires (made every night by Dave) and the complete tranquility of North Paw. The apartment has everything you need and was very comfortable for a fall getaway. Appreciated the visits with the owner Dave and his friendly dog Cinder. Would highly recommend this property and these hosts. Our stay was perfect. So grateful that Dave and Tim are willing to share their amazing property and home with us.

The place was great and our hosts were fantastic. They made us feel very welcome and at home. They even offered their garden bounty with us. Told us to help ourselves to garden fresh peppers, herbs and tomatoes. The property was closely located to downtown Tobermory and all the boat cruises and park trails. A great location and a really nice property with terrific hosts!

Hosts were great. Even set up a nightly fire for us! Also respectful of our preference not to be around their pooch. Hosts even shared their garden tomatoes. Great communication. Fab location with amazing views, when outside. But inside you can only see it from the bathroom. Kind of a shame in the fall with cooler Temps. Living room should be where bathroom is in my opinion. Water had a funny smell. Only a few bottled water provided. Would prefer not to have to use bottled water to be more green but tap water not doable.

Situated on a peninsula this property offers a breathtaking vista. The home is situated on weathered limestone which serves as an ideal patio for lounging and stepping into the inviting water. Kayaks are available as well to use after enjoying the scenic hikes at the nearby national park. The accommodation is spotless and spacious. Our hosts are most accommodating.

My wife and I have stayed at North Paw three times, and it never disappoints. Property is in an idyllic setting., with beautiful sunsets. A short drive into Tobermory. Dave and Tim are excellent hosts; very accommodating. They have a good knowledge of the area. Unit is always spotlessly clean.

The property is so beautiful , stunning , private and excluded but also close to tobermory main attractions. The hosts are lovely, such a wonderful experience.

Dawn and sunset over water, clear view of stars at night. Clean and bright spacious accommodations. Kayaks and trails provide opportunities for observation of nature and exercise. We loved the escape from city life. Tim and Dave are considerate hosts. And Cinder is a very well behaved friendly dog.

You can't beat this property or these hosts in the Tobermory area. They are so friendly and very accommodating, you will feel like one of the family for sure. The property itself is very well stocked and has everything you need. It's also situated perfectly so you have private access to the water for swimming or kayaking, it's quiet enough that you can enjoy the nature, but the main town is a really short trip away. We have visited this property multiple times and it never disappoints and that should tell you everything you need to know!

Best location for kayaking, watching sunsets and having a campfire. Property is immaculately kept. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Thanks for the fresh vegetables from the garden!

Just got back from another amazing stay at North Paw with Dave, Tim and Cinder. Lots of kayaking, hiking and S'mores. We loved every minute. Can't imagine a more relaxing place. Simply spectacular!

We arrived at the home and found a beautiful garden playing host to monarch butterflies, hummingbirds, and pollinators. We received a warm welcome from Dave and Tim (and of course Cinder, the resident dog and Emmett, the resident cat). The home is super clean, modern, tastefully decorated and fully equipped with anything you may need. The bed is very comfortable with warm blankets for the cooler evenings. The washroom is quite large. There were plenty of fluffy white towels and supplies. We most enjoyed the sound of silence. We loved the spectacular sunsets sitting on the Adirondack chairs, bonfires (thanks to Tim for setting that up for us), stargazing and watching shooting stars late into the evening. Thank-you Dave and Tim for your warm hospitality, your advice on what to see, sharing interesting stories and making our stay very relaxing. We look forward to visiting again soon.

North Paw is secluded and absolutely stunning with water views on 3 sides of the property. The sunsets are magical. Dave and Tim are the most attentive and personable hosts. Along with their gorgeous pup Cinder and Emmett, their cat, they ensure you have an amazing time. Fire pit ready to go in the evening (this may have been because we were a group of 3 city ladies), all we needed to do is strike the match, the most fluffiest towels, and lots of them, including beach towels. The place is spotless and well equipped. Water shoes, lifejackets and kayaks all supplied. Dave and Tim were always available and quick to respond. They were happy to provide kayak suggestions and maps, along with restaurants to try. They are seriously next level hosts! It's hard to sum up the experience in words, but do yourself a favour and book this giant slice of paradise surrounded by nature. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to return.

The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The property, which is a few kms outside of Tobermory, is beautiful and very private/quiet.

Hosts Dave & Tim were extremely responsive from the get go with a near instantaneous communication containing their “North Paw” recommendations for everything from Hiking trails/beaches to Boat tours to local restaurants/shops in the area. They (inclusive of pets Cinder & Emmett) were extremely welcoming upon arrival and throughout our stay. From a guided tour on Kayak of the nearby shipwreck to a pre-arranged campfire on two of the nights during our stay (we had mentioned in passing that we city folk might need help) - Dave & Tim seemed to effortlessly do things to make our stay a memorable one. The location was as advertised & more (for instance, the towels were incredibly soft & the views from the property, inside and out, were out-of-this-world ! We felt tremendously grateful to have had the opportunity to stay at their property and would go again in a heartbeat.

Dave and Tim are exceptional hosts in every way. They are almost as social as their pets Emmit and Cinder. There is no place like the Bruce Peninsula and and no where as beautiful to stay as North Paw.

Good experience first time going to cottage with my family and kids loved it had a blast in the surrounding area doing kayaking, gazing stars at night with fire pit. Kids loved playing with Cinder as well. Dave and Tim were good host and answer all our quries and suggested good restaurants around the area. Last day of the night was awesome beautiful night for star gazing and warmth of firepit was something else.

Amazing modern well equipped waterfront accommodation with spectacular views of Hay Bay. Private entrance. Owners on site were pleasant and offered many tips on exploring the area. Outdoor BBQ, fire pit, muskoka chairs, kayaks. Kitchen/dining has all the comforts of home. TV, internet. Would certainly stay here again. Above our expectations!

The owners treat you like family and are so knowledgeable. Best experience!

Tim and Dave were awesome hosts and great to talk with. Their property is beautiful, secluded, and a short drive to the Tobermory’s little tub harbour. Lots of space in the unit, clean and great views. We’re looking forward to returning in future years.
