Located on the Heritage Trail in historic old Bayfield, Birdsong offers you and your family the comforts of home without the hustle and bustle of big-city life. After a relaxing sleep, wake up in the morning and enjoy your coffee on the private deck as the local bird population serenades you with their "birdsong". A short walk to most attractions in town, including Historic Main Street, Pioneer Park, with its stunning sunsets, and the beaches adjacent to the marina and pier.
The house comfortably sleeps six and charms with historical touches throughout from its large harvest dining table, local barn-beam bench and pieces from the renowned Imperial Furniture Company of Stratford.
Have Birdsong be your base for a getaway of exploring the treasures of Huron County and the Bluewater area, or just relaxing with a book from the well-appointed bookshelf selections.
INSIDE

Cooking is a joy in the fully equipped kitchen with gas stove and everything you need to prepare your favorite dishes.
Family Room great for games or movie night! TV has a Firestick so you can login to your own Netflix/PrimeVideo/Disney account
It's always handy to have laundry facilities with washer/dryer.
OUTSIDE
Out back you'll appreciate the huge yard for games
Curl up with a good book or those treasured holiday naps under the trees! Personally I love the back deck where I can chat the afternoon away. You'll enjoy BBQ favorites on the back patio at a nice proper dining table.
Share laughter and stories around the campfire at night - rare to have a firepit in the village!
NOTE: I expect we will have more beach this Summer 2023, depending on lake levels and what the lake pushes up. There are lake accesses all along Tuyll Street which is a great adventure to find your favorite! And you can walk 2 min to the Main Beach.
The lakebed can be sandy or stoney depending on what the lake gives you that day. But it sure is fun to try to find the ever changing sandbars. Generally you will find sand 3ft out. It's fun to go stone collecting - Lake Huron is a geologists paradise! Just bring some water shoes. The nice thing is, it's not weedy or slimy at all.

EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD
The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it's easy to experience each day to its fullest.
Wander downtown and find your new favorite cafe, and be sure to save a day to explore Bayfield's wineries and breweries. Just a few minutes' away is River Road Brewing, where you can sample craft beers right on the farm.
Visit during the off-season to catch favorite annual events like VetteFest or for a girl's getaway weekend—we're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, shops, and yoga classes.
With wooded trails, scenic country vistas, and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season. Bring your hiking boots and plan a trip during leaf-peeping season for a display of color, or come enjoy the quiet of winter and crunch through the snow in evergreen forests.
ABOUT YOUR HOST
I'm Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.
