We have stayed at Brent's place twice before and have enjoyed our stay very much every time we've been. Great host and a great property for a family. Our kids especially enjoyed the hot tub and the ability to dine on the deck in the dining pavilion. We look forward to visiting again.

Great northern getaway.

Our vacation was genuinely epic, comfortable accommodations in well equipped cottage, 5 minute walk to sandy beach that boasted shallow water which was perfect for younger children. Location is close to hiking, kayaking, swimming, fishing and tourist attractions. Host is honest, reliable, courteous.

Clean, comfortable, private

We really enjoyed our staying at this cottage. It was clean, comfortable and has a great layout for two small families that also need their own space. Our kids enjoyed the nearby beach and playground that was nice and quiet. The only downside was the mosquitoes, but they come with the location and went away with the cool weather.

Golf Week With Freinds

Our stay at this Red Bay cottage was excellent it was spotless, the amenities were all that you could ask for, and the neighborhood was very nice. The location was close to numerous golf courses and many other attractions. Our group has been going golfing in Manistee Michigan in the fall for the last 18 years however due to Covid we could not go this year so we decided to rent a place in Ontario we were so impressed with this area of the Province that it put Michigan to shame we will be staying in Ontario for all of our future Golf outings.

Great getaway

This property at Red Bay was the perfect getaway for our family. The cottage was clean and had all the amenities we needed and more! Our kids enjoyed all the indoor and outdoor games. The hot tub was a great way to end each day as well. The beach was a short walk away and the sunsets on Red Bay were gorgeous! The location was great for exploring the upper and lower peninsula on both the Lake Huron and Georgian Bay sides. The owner Brent was very helpful in answering questions prior to our stay as well. Overall an amazing experience!

Great house in a lovely location

The house is lovely and in a great location for exploring the Bruce Peninsula. It is well equipped and comfortable and the hot tub is a fab addition to relax in at the end of a long day. Communication with Brent was very easy and he provided lots of information on places to go and things to do, always responding very quickly to any queries. Overall would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again if we return to Ontario in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Brent Patroch

Host profile image
Owned by Brother & Sister, this cottage has been in our family for over 40 years. We've grown up in the community and spend our summers at the beach. Our full time residences are a few hours south of Red Bay, but we frequent the area throughout the summer and are available to help answer any of your questions and give you some amazing day-trip & entertainment options.

Why they chose this property

We are the third generation owner of this property and have spent many days playing games and having family dinners in this cottage. The cottage has been completely refurbished over the past few years, everything from plumbing, electrical, roofing & furniture has been updated to the utmost of comfort. We look forward to spending our weeks at the cottage in between rentals.

What makes this property unique

This cottage has all of the comforts of a full home, and it's a very rare site to see a hot tub in the cottage country, perfect for those cool nights after a day of fun in the sun. Even rainy days are comfortable with the amount of seating and options for indoor activities.
