Barefoot Cottages was a great place to stay for our visit to Pelee Island! It was comfortable and had a great Lakeview from the screened in porch. The shared dock was also a great place to spend some time. The kitchen had everything we needed, even a teapot! The host was very responsive to messages. Would love to stay again.

Thank you for your lovely review of the Bungalow! We’re so glad you enjoyed the lake views from the screened-in porch and time on the dock. It was a pleasure hosting you and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!
The house had all the kitchen accessories necessary for cooking any meal. There was lots of information about Pelee Island provided and the beds were very comfortable. Marg

The host was amazing, told us everything we needed to bring, how to get there and info to get in the cottage a couple days before we left. It was very clean and spacious. We had the best time and would definitely recommend to stay here!!

Thanks for the wonderful review. We are so happy you enjoyed the Bungalow and your time on the island!
The place was very comfortable. There was a very nice welcome tray. We brought toilet paper and kleenex but did not really need to. Very close to everything we wanted to do.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're glad you found the cottage comfortable and appreciated the welcome tray. It's great to hear the location worked well for your plans too.
This well equipped 3 bedroom cottage is situated on the north shore of Pelee Island in a perfect location. The view from the front porch and the dock are outstanding. It is easy to get places by foot, bike or car. This was a wonderful holiday retreat.

Barefoot cottage was a very nice, well appointed cottage set back off the road for lots of peace and quiet. Nice deck at the back. Lovely screened in porch at the front. We enjoyed our time there and would stay again when we are on the island. Highly recommend it.

Everything was as promised. Our 4th. and most enjoyable visit to the Island yet. The cottage is clean and well equipped. I would highly recommend Barefoot.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear this was your most enjoyable visit yet. It means a lot that you would recommend Barefoot, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
We loved this little gem of a cottage which was perfect for our long weekend. We were thankful for the air conditioning! The cottage was very well stocked and comfortable. Our only challenge that we could not solve was operating the ROKU tv, but we didn't really need it with the great weather.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad the cottage was a cozy spot for your long weekend and that the air conditioning came in handy. Sorry to hear about the Roku TV—thanks for flagging it, and we’ll make sure instructions are clearer for future guests. Hope to welcome you back soon!
Great cottage. Lots of special touches. Wonderful mattresses. Island water smells like sulfar so bring plenty of drinking water since it sells out fast at the store. Will book again! Great fishing too!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so happy you enjoyed the Bungalow and the property.
We enjoyed our first visit to Pelee Island. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Our cottage was cozy and cute, just perfect for our family.
The wind was strong and did make our hikes to Fish point and the light house challenging. Otherwise it was a lovely weekend getaway. I would a longer stay!

Thanks for the wonderful review. We are so happy you enjoyed the cottage and got to experience the friendliness of the island!
Clean, nice property with large screened porch facing the lake and modern amenities, quiet and peaceful.
Off season proved challenging since many advertised Pelee Island services and events were either unavailable or changed their hours of operation.
Still, highly recommended!

Hi Mark - thanks so much for your review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the property and Bungalow. Sorry to hear that the off-season business hours proved challenging. Many services and businesses change hours after Labour Day - and we also find it hard to know what's open and when.
We very much enjoyed our stay in the Barefoot Bungalow! Owners provided all info that we needed to know, and there was plenty of room for us. Cabin could easily accommodate six (there were just three of us). A very clean and happy place - I imagine ideal in summertime especially.
One limitation - water flow is slow, hot water limited. Bring your own drinking water, as the well water has a strong taste to it.

Thanks so much for your review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay! We really appreciate you sharing your feedback on the waterflow. We are installing a new well this fall, which will improve waterflow (and hopefully taste) for next season. Our UV water purification system is tested and safe to drink; however, sometimes the taste can be stronger than city water supplies.
