About this property

Cedar Haven

Enjoy a serene getaway to scenic Tobermory, situated on this 1.7 acre property entirely surrounded by trees. You will hear very little more than birds chirping and the distant sound of Lake Huron's waves hitting the shoreline.

Little Tub Harbour is only a 10-minute drive from Cedar Haven, where you can arrange glass-bottom shipwreck tours, visit Flowerpot Island or head out for a dive expedition. A number of casual dining options and light gift shopping are available there as well. For the active vacationer, this is the perfect location for kayak and SUP rentals. Are you planning a trip to Manitoulin Island? Book your crossing on the Chi Cheemaun -the Great Lakes' largest ferry.

This all-season custom-built home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, loft reading nook and a large open concept kitchen and living room with cathedral ceiling.

A short walk from the property will give you access to numerous trails and waterfront vistas, including the increasingly famous Sunset Park. A deck surrounds the home on three sides to enjoy a meal cooked on the available outdoor grill or to stargaze into Tobermory's notoriously dark skies. Too cold outside? Get your favourite book, a hot drink and enjoy a seat on our pull-out sofa in front of the propane fireplace.

Excellent Retreat

This property is one of the most impressive we've enjoyed on any short getaway. The new cottage is secluded, near a beautiful Canadian national park, completely equipped and stocked, and immaculately clean. It had style, as well! The hosts were responsive, friendly, and helpful. Our stay was perfect.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our trip. The cottage was beautiful, clean, and well situated for our hiking excursions. And even with the rain, we had visitations from some hilarious wild turkeys strutting across the property. Marc was very responsive when needed as well. Would highly recommend this rental property.

Perfect getaway

This was our first time in Tobermory and we could not have hoped for a better location. Although it was not a beachfront, we greatly enjoyed the peace and quiet of the forest and the nature surrounding us. The majority of the attractions were within 15-minute driving distance. The check-in and check out were easy. Time flies by when you are at Cedar Haven.

A Beautiful and Peaceful Haven

The property is beautiful, clean, peaceful. The chalet is exceptional. The layout is perfect. We congregated in the main living space, kitchen/living room. The kitchen has plenty of space for cooking. The outdoor space is amazing as well. We also enjoyed playing corn hole every night after we returned from daily activities and we used the three decks around the chalet. A 5 STAR property. Great Hosts, can't ask for better.

FABULOUS!

A long time friend and I decided to do a hiking trip. She found the property on VRBO and it was BEAUTIFUL! It was well stocked and clean. The owners were easy to contact and even left a surprise for the visitors! The hiking trails were limitless and offered a range from easy to difficult. We hope to stay there again in the future and have already told numerous people about the home and pristine setting demonstrating God’s amazing creation surrounding us.

Beautiful House

If you're looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful house, this will do nicely. Very secluded and quiet but close enough to everything you'd want to do. If hiking and rocky shorelines are your thing, better spend some extra time there...lots of that. There are some "touristy" things to do in town...boat tours, shops, restaurants etc. Tobermory Brew Company was our favorite...lamb burger was excellent. FYI...don't ask for medium or rare burgers. Its apparently a no no with the govt. Overall, good experience...Marc the owner seemed like a geeat guy...very helpful.

Wow! Great Vacation Rental

I honestly cannot say enough about this property. It was immaculately clean. Great layout - plenty big enough for 4 people. Equipped with everything you could possibly need. We used the kitchen extensively and they had everything. The owners attention to detail is excellent. Also, super quiet and private lot. It is located less than a 10 minute drive from the town of Tobermory and about 20 to all the National Park locations. Not too close or too far from anywhere you want to go. And only a 10 minute walk to Sunset Park. You have to visit that park at sunset. The owner was immediately responsive when I texted. We really lucked out finding this place for our Bruce Peninsula vacation.

Idyllic getaway

A beautiful, incredibly well stocked house in peaceful, beautiful surroundings. My partner and I stayed for a week. We were without a car, and the owner was kind enough to provide bikes for us. The property is in a quiet part of Tobermory, so there isn't that much to do within walking distance, but with a bike or a car, we were within easy distance of some beautiful beaches, the Grotto, and the main Tobermory center with its tour ships, shops, ferry, etc. Once we had access to a car again, we rented kayak/canoes/paddleboards on a nearby (~15 min drive) resort. We also visited Singing Sands Beach, which is stunningly beautiful and very well maintained. We also biked to the Tobermory center and to Dunks Bay. The two water access points within walking distance (the one at Cape Hurd Rd and Sunset Park) have some lovely, peaceful views during the day, but require water shoes if you're planning to go in and get a bit buggy towards the late afternoon. However, since I'm assuming the vast majority of people staying in Tobermory *will* have a car, it's an absolutely lovely place to stay. Astonishingly well stocked kitchen (I usually bring my own cast iron pan to cottages for cooking, but they already had one!), as well as plenty of entertainment options (books, games, puzzles, movies, etc). The owners have been incredibly thoughtful in equipping this place to be a true getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Marc Lehmann

Host profile image
We grew up and met on the West Island of Montreal. Following our post-secondary studies, we chose to make southern Ontario our home where we worked in public education over the last decades.

Why they chose this property

The desire to purchase a piece of land brought us to Tobermory -an area we visited a few times in the past. We fell in love with the natural beauty of the Bruce Peninsula and the feeling of peace, serenity and escape whenever we came to visit.

What makes this property unique

We completed the build of Cedar Haven in 2023 with features of our childhood homes and elements which we both valued in our dream cottage. Having both grown up in Cape Cod-style homes, we wanted the exterior to feature dormers, a sheltered porch and space to sit out to enjoy the outdoors.

The open concept custom home allows all parties to interact with one another, whether sitting on the living room couch, prepping for a meal or sitting at the island with a beverage. The large south-west facing window lets in enough light to limit the need for any artificial lighting and provides a beautiful view to the outdoors in all four seasons. Privacy was a critical element, which is why we cleared a winding driveway, protecting the home from public view.
