Canada cottages

Enjoyed our short stay at this unique and lovely spot.

WOW! An beautiful immaculate property. Would give it 10+ stars if possible.

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.

This is our second stay on the property, but first time in the Rose Cottage, and it was everything we could have hoped for. The cottage is sparkling clean and comfortable, the mattresses are AMAZING, the fireplace was even perfectly stacked for our first fire. The yard is gorgeous and private - our dog loved being able to run around in the grass, sniffing all the smells and chasing the odd rabbit off into the bushes. We slept like babies every night and enjoyed views from the yard, both beaches, and all the little lookouts along the trails. We even saw otters and a couple seals! Ray popped by to check on us- he’s such a kind man, and really puts his heart and soul into keeping this place beautiful. Kristi checked in via text and was available if we needed her (but everything was perfect, so we didn’t have to reach out at all during our stay). It really was just such a great stay. Thank you for everything! We’re already looking forward to coming back again next year :)

I always caution the kids that a place might not be quite as "magical" as it seems in pictures or on a video. But this place was even better in person than the pictures revealed. It's a beautiful location. We had a lovely and refreshing time, the kids were thrilled and asking when we can come back. The kitchen was well-equipped, everything was clean, there was plenty of wood and kindling ready in the woodstove. The beds/linens were high-quality and comfortable. The wifi worked well and there were plenty of outlets/usb. The beach house was charming. We really enjoyed the view - the waves crashing against the rocks, watching the seals and the sea lions. Even though we were doing a quick local getaway for a few days, we left feeling like we had had a real vacation. Wonderful place, and the caretaker who checked on us was very nice, too.
