The entire trip was terrific especially having a great cottage to start from each day. What a beautiful view to enjoy the rapidly changing waters of Lake Huron. After our easy check in, we were greeted with a lovely spotlessly clean cottage. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We stayed on the upper floor the whole stay, enjoying the convenience, having everything close at hand. Not only did the host send friendly messages but also helpful local information. Thankyou, for letting us enjoy all that this beautiful location had to offer, from a comfortable cottage.

Amazing

The cottage was great, the property was right on the water and only a few minutes from Tobermory. We had a great time with the fire pit, bbq, and kayaks there. Tons of space for a larger group of friends. The host was very helpful and made every aspect of the trip super easy. Although there’s no ac, there are plenty of fans and the breeze from the water so we never found it hot. Would definitely come back!
