About this property

Cedar Haven

Enjoy a serene getaway to scenic Tobermory, situated on this 1.7 acre property entirely surrounded by trees. You will hear very little more than birds chirping and the distant sound of Lake Huron's waves hitting the shoreline.

Little Tub Harbour is only a 10-minute drive from Cedar Haven, where you can arrange glass-bottom shipwreck tours, visit Flowerpot Island or head out for a dive expedition. A number of casual dining options and light gift shopping are available there as well. For the active vacationer, this is the perfect location for kayak and SUP rentals. Are you planning a trip to Manitoulin Island? Book your crossing on the Chi Cheemaun -the Great Lakes' largest ferry.

This all-season custom-built home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry room, loft reading nook and a large open concept kitchen and living room with cathedral ceiling.

A short walk from the property will give you access to numerous trails and waterfront vistas, including the increasingly famous Sunset Park. A deck surrounds the home on three sides to enjoy a meal cooked on the available outdoor grill or to stargaze into Tobermory's notoriously dark skies. Too cold outside? Get your favourite book, a hot drink and enjoy a seat on our pull-out sofa in front of the propane fireplace.

This was an excellent stay, the scenery and atmosphere is very calming and relaxing. I really loved the space and design, the washrooms are very nice & the bed was comfy. Only 1 minor inconvenience was that the inside of the oven was dirty and needed a wipe down. The owners were very easy to connect with and had everything labelled, I loved staying here & would stay here again in the future. Thank you!

Cedar Haven truly feels like a home away from home. The atmosphere is calm, quiet, and welcoming—perfect for anyone looking to recharge. The cottage is beautifully decorated, spotless, and very well maintained, which makes the stay extra comfortable. It’s an amazing place for a small family, with all the thoughtful details that make traveling with loved ones easier and more enjoyable. The location is peaceful, yet still close enough to everything Tobermory has to offer. I would absolutely recommend Cedar Haven to anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing, and well-kept place to stay in Tobermory.

We loved your place. Modern design and comfortable furniture. Very nice amenities. Cute bunny visitors each day…kept the lawn looking trim. We enjoyed the boat excursion out to Flowerpot Island and we visited/photographed nearby lighthouses which was our purpose in visiting Tobermory. We would most definitely recommend your property to family and friends.

Wonderful Stay in Tobermory

We loved this house! It is one of the nicest and best furnished VRBO houses we have ever stayed in. The setting is very private and is lovely. The house is beautiful, with lots of sunlight. I texted the owner as we were settling in with a question and he was responsive and helpful. It was a wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our trip. The cottage was beautiful, clean, and well situated for our hiking excursions. And even with the rain, we had visitations from some hilarious wild turkeys strutting across the property. Marc was very responsive when needed as well. Would highly recommend this rental property.

Perfect getaway

This was our first time in Tobermory and we could not have hoped for a better location. Although it was not a beachfront, we greatly enjoyed the peace and quiet of the forest and the nature surrounding us. The majority of the attractions were within 15-minute driving distance. The check-in and check out were easy. Time flies by when you are at Cedar Haven.

A Beautiful and Peaceful Haven

The property is beautiful, clean, peaceful. The chalet is exceptional. The layout is perfect. We congregated in the main living space, kitchen/living room. The kitchen has plenty of space for cooking. The outdoor space is amazing as well. We also enjoyed playing corn hole every night after we returned from daily activities and we used the three decks around the chalet. A 5 STAR property. Great Hosts, can't ask for better.

About the host

Hosted by Marc Lehmann

Host profile image
We grew up and met on the West Island of Montreal. Following our post-secondary studies, we chose to make southern Ontario our home where we worked in public education over the last decades.

Why they chose this property

The desire to purchase a piece of land brought us to Tobermory -an area we visited a few times in the past. We fell in love with the natural beauty of the Bruce Peninsula and the feeling of peace, serenity and escape whenever we came to visit.

What makes this property unique

We completed the build of Cedar Haven in 2023 with features of our childhood homes and elements which we both valued in our dream cottage. Having both grown up in Cape Cod-style homes, we wanted the exterior to feature dormers, a sheltered porch and space to sit out to enjoy the outdoors.

The open concept custom home allows all parties to interact with one another, whether sitting on the living room couch, prepping for a meal or sitting at the island with a beverage. The large south-west facing window lets in enough light to limit the need for any artificial lighting and provides a beautiful view to the outdoors in all four seasons. Privacy was a critical element, which is why we cleared a winding driveway, protecting the home from public view.
