Beautiful views

We stayed with family for 3 nights in this beautiful cottage . Lovely views . Cottage was clean ,host had several board games for kids . Tobermory is beautiful . Water is clean . As it was cold we did not go in water but would have been very good for someone coming in summer . Would have been nice to have sheets , towels included with the stay so guests don’t have to worry about brining these. Few extra things / staples in kitchen would have been helpful like coffee. We were here for Easter weekend and many places were closed nearby .

Great Stay

We had a lovely time at the cottage this past weekend. There was plenty of room for just the 2 of us, it's very private and quiet and the lakefront is beautiful, my husband even went for a quick dip in the cold lake! The wood stove and hot tub were great for chilly evenings. We also did some great hiking near The Grotto which was only about a half hour away.

Beautiful Cottage with Spectacular Sunsets!!!

We enjoyed everything about our stay at this cottage! The location is close to town and also hiking trails in the national park and along the Bruce Trail. We spent the morning sipping coffee by the waters edge, then kayaked, flew kites and went on hiking adventures each day of our stay. We went for ice cream in town and enjoyed the uniqie and beautiful sunsets by the campfire every evening. Swimming was also a big hit with the kids...we paddle boarded and snorkeled. The beauty of nature at this location is phenomenal. We saw butterflies, frogs, rabbits, squirrels, eagles, ducks and seaguls. Amazing cottage for families to spend quality time together and make cherished memories ❤️

Lovely Getaway

The cottage had a beautiful view of the lake. It was nice to have two sitting areas outside, one on the deck and one closer to the lake. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had a wonderful relaxing stay.

Do Not Use the Hot Tub and Be Careful With Kitchen Drawers

On the first day, someone in our group was injured when a drawer containing pots was pushed in, resulting in a cut to the side of their finger and a puncture wound from metal on the same finger. To avoid similar accidents, do not open or close the white plastic drawers from the bottom as the sliding mechanisms beneath move independently of the containers. Upon entering the cottage, we noticed that the property was a little dirty, with crumbs and debris littering the floor. We didn't think much of it until we read the final cleanup instructions in the welcome binder, which asked that the place be left practically spotless. A day into our stay, we discovered that the hot tub cleaning supplies bin had been left open during a rainstorm. Although we initially thought someone in our group had taken off the lid, it turned out to be like that the entire time. We messaged the property owner, but their response was apathetic. I hope this won't be taken out of the deposit. Finally, two members of our group developed bad cases of folliculitis and another member had a similar unidentified skin reaction after using the hot tub during the second and third nights. The hot tub is clearly an old one and if a hot tub is not regularly cleaned after it starts getting used, it will accumulate more and more bacteria; infrequent cleanings may not be able to undo this damage. Do not use the hot tub.

Perfect getaway

Everything about this property is wonderful. We arrived in the midst of a snowstorm and found a cozy cottage with large windows that were perfect for looking out over the waves crashing onto the rocky shore. I highly recommend a stay here and will definitely return to explore more in the summer. Thank you for a wonderful holiday escape 😊

Birthday week getaway

We had a wonderful time at the Tobermory Cottage. The view is amazing and despite mostly rainy days, the stormy days made for some beautiful pictures. The sunsets we did have were pretty incredible. We loved the privacy of the cottage and the up to date amenities as well as the hot tub. It’s a short drive to the town of Tobermory for a bite to eat. The Tobermory Brewing Company was very good and The Green Door restaurant in Wiarton was excellent too. Overall, it was a great week and thank you to Dan and Lesley for allowing us to stay at their lovely cottage. We highly recommend it.

Wonderful September Retreat

A beautifully appointed cottage overlooking Lake Huron. The sunset view is breathtaking. Lovely and private in September and early October. The only disappointment was our difficulty getting to the water due to the rocky shoreline. (but we are in our 70's) We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. It was both relaxing and revitalizing. A wonderful spot.

Relaxing Honeymoon!

We spent our honeymoon here and it was exactly what we were hoping for! Super cute cottage, with a beautiful view of the water and it is so close to town. Very quiet and private, and we appreciated how much care Dan and Lesley took to make sure we felt comfortable and they promptly answered all of our questions. Great amenities like the kayak and hot tub, and the firepit was great to spend time around. Thanks so much Dan and Lesley!

Relaxing visit with a great view of the open lake.

The property is quiet and private in the off season, with a lovely view. The house is very nicely updated and clean, with a great deck and large main room. Very comfortable! Highly recommend. We did have difficulty opening the box containing the key. Perhaps an updated system would work better?
