The Cottage at Piper's Dam is a uniquely beautiful year-round retreat nestled in an idyllic secluded setting. Spanning a crystal clear stream, it is part of a historic mill property located on the banks of the picturesque Maitland River which flows into Lake Huron a short distance away.
This immaculate, open concept, authentic post and beam home boasts gleaming century-old pine floors, hewn beams with 19 foot vaulted ceilings, windows looking out at mature forest, dramatic fireplace, private deck, and family heirlooms combined with modern amenities for your enjoyment and comfort.
The gentle sound of flowing water falling through the valley and the abundance of nature at your doorstep will surely relax you. Explore the charming and historic port-town of Goderich overlooking beautiful Lake Huron. Enjoy the many theatres in the area including the internationally renowned Stratford Festival.
Plan a romantic evening in front of a roaring fire. Hike the miles of trails amidst pristine forest, fly-fish for trout and salmon in the rapids and pools of the world-class Maitland River, or take advantage of the many other recreational opportunities close at hand.
Experience rural Ontario at its best. Ideal for a single, a couple, or a small family. Sleeps up to six.
