This is a unique and lovely historic home, spacious, well equipped kitchen, and large sit-in gazebo for outdoor dining and relaxing. We loved watching the shipping traffic and walking down to the Scudder Co-op. We hope to return in future to this very special place. Students of history and architecture will be especially happy here.

Barefoot Stonehouse cottage was the perfect place for me to relax and enjoy the island. It was built in 1843 and even though we had a strong storm I felt like it was a fortress and I was safe. The inside of the cottage is so well kept and comfortable. There also is a deck right across the road that I enjoyed spending time on.

Terrific location with lake view! Beds were so comfortable!!!!!Kitchen was well equipped with every type of cooking appliance. Fridge and stove were spotless. Bathroom was very clean and user friendly. The only criticism is the windows blinds in bedrooms.Fall, of course, brings many spiders and webs.That and the dusty roads make air quality in bedrooms very unhealthy for anyone with breathing issues. In all, we would be happy to do a return visit , with just a little more attention given to the mini blinds.Thank you for enabling our island visit!

Great historic space on the north shore. We enjoyed the days using this Barefoot Stone House as the base for three days of cycling around Pelee. Lake views were splendid, and the ability to access our streaming services for after-dark entertainment were greatly appreciated!Pleasant hosts, and plenty of room for 2-4 people at a modest cost made this a perfect choice for our short vacation.

Needed a few days of R&R and this property delivered. We spent many hours sitting on the dock and when the rain came we moved inside and enjoyed the view from in there. The house was clean, cozy and just what we needed. Will be back!

Outstanding cottage! Would recommend for a relaxing vacation

The property was great. The gazebo in back was used a great deal for card games and socializing. Any problems were quickly resolved by the owner. Just be careful of the shower it is very slippery. Everything you need is at the co-op store if you run short. Enjoy your stay!

Old time charm

It is a lovely solid old stone cottage that has been maintained very well and has all the conveniences. The beds are very comfortable and it has a well fitted out kitchen. There is a lovely view over the water and a great screened in gazebo for those evenings when the bugs are a bother. It probably would best suit adults though there is a big grass front garden to set up badminton.

Lovely historic property visit

Gorgeous old limestone home. Well outfitted kitchen, clean home, screened gazebo & bbq handy. Lovely view of the lake from front porch & dock sitting. Access to Netflix via your satellite service, even watched one of your DVDs. Weather was perfect, so no time to play any board games you had for "just in case". Would absolutely recommend this gem of a property.

Wonderful weekend despite of weather.

Awesome place, beautiful historic cottage on the island. Very comfortable cottage and well appointed. We enjoyed the bakery, Stone House restaurant and winery. The highlight was cooking at the cottage and enjoying the lake views. We came at an off peak time with not the best weather, but had a blast, one of the best trips of the year for my wife and I. We had some issues getting to the island due to weather and ferry cancellations and lost a night. Andrea and Alex were quick to offer a refund for that night. We ended up making it over the next morning and I’m glad we did! We biked around the island after a comfortable nap. Fun place to stay, beautiful island, hiking, biking and beaches. We look forward to coming back!

There was a lot of noise,coming from the basement

we heard a noise like banging on a pipe. Very eerie Kept us awake that first night, We changed bedrooms and put on the outdoor light. sle.pt better the following nights,but stayed on guard don'd know what it was? I don't believe in ghosts,but we wondered.Everything else was very good!!!

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear a noise was keeping you up the first night of your stay. The cottage's water system is in the basement and it's possible the pump and associated piping was making the noise. We have someone who takes care of the water system for us - we'll ask them to look into what might be causing the noise. Happy to learn everything else was good.

Could be a 5/5. We gave this a 3/5 only because the cottage needs a spring cleaning. The door windows were green, screens covered with debris. I noticed mildew on the broken blinds and the cords needed a wash. The bathtub surround had a line of mold and the glass shower doors had scale and mildew inside, but especially outside where they slide over each other. The bedroom air conditioners should be cleaned or replaced as the output is stuffy and smelly. And, in a place that has glorious original architecture and thoughtful updates, to block off the air conditioner window spaces with random plastic board and peeling duct tape?After a rough first night: mildewy, stuffy, with pillows that felt like bolsters, we slept well the next nights by forgetting the air conditioner and leaving the front door open to the screen door for air flow (a lock would be nice… ) and putting our pillow cases on the softer sofa throw pillows. The cottage was a welcoming place to return to throughout our days of exploring. I’m a big fan of fine craftsmanship and, wow, this place has it! I couldn’t stop noticing and admiring the details. I didn’t think to bring a bath mat, so used the hand towel I brought as a mat. I don’t bring beach towels either, and should have. The mattresses were extremely comfortable. So much so that we will order one when we get home. We loved sitting out on the front stone porch watching the amazing bird life. We cooked big breakfasts at the cottage and found places to e

Beautiful property, spacious clean cottage. The original charm of this 1843 home is beautifully paired with modern amenities. It’s the perfect blend of historical and modern. The location allows for easy access to beaches, shops, restaurants while keeping you immersed in nature. Whether you prefer the wooded back yard with its closed in gazebo (great for shared meals) or hanging out by the water on the dock (great for morning coffee or sunset watch)this place is a true haven. Add in gracious and amenable hosts and you have the perfect retreat to reset and relax.
