Host profile image
Hi, we are Doug and Tina, owners of The Stone Cottage. It has been in our family since 1962. Although new to VRBO we have been hosting our property for the past 4 years through a local private rental platform. It has been a very exciting and enjoyable time connecting with first time and long-time vacationers to the area. Our guests have all written +5 Star reviews in our guest book that we can share with you.

Why they chose this property

As long-time vacationers ourselves to the Bruce Peninsula we are more than happy to assist with places to go, trails to hike and restaurants to visit to make your stay even more enjoyable.

What makes this property unique

The Stone Cottage has been an ongoing build by our family for the past 60 years. My father's unique stone and concrete construction using the existing limestone rock from the property has been featured in Cottage Life, making this cottage one of a kind.
The stone walls, stairs, arches, patios has been a labour of love to build and continues to be.
