Bright Modern All Season Open Concept Cottage - 5 minutes from Bayfield

Welcome to 'Serenity Now!'

This beautiful modern open concept cottage is set on a ½ acre grass and treed property just off Hwy #21, five minutes south of Bayfield and fifteen minutes north of Grand Bend. It has a bright open-concept living space with 20 ft cathedral ceilings and lots of windows for natural light.

The cottage is all season, fully furnished with 3 bedrooms and one full bath. The master bedroom has a King sized bed, second bedroom a Queen bed and the third bedroom has a double/single bunk bed –sleeping 7 comfortably. (Note - bed linens and personal towels are not provided.)

For entertainment there is wireless internet, a Smart TV with android box so you can use all your favorite TV watching Apps. There is a DVD/VCR combo and stocked cabinet with movies. Or - shut off the screens and enjoy our closet full of board games!

Enjoy the sunny wrap around deck at the front and side of the cottage with a walk-out from the living room and another from the master bedroom. There is a BBQ and lots of patio furniture for eating and lounging. Perfect for catching some rays on a lazy afternoon. The backyard is spacious and cleared and includes an open fire pit.

The cottage is equipped with all full sized appliances - fridge, stove, dishwasher and washer & dryer. In addition there is a toaster/convection oven, microwave, electric kettle, crock pot, and coffee maker. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking and serving comforts of home. We are on municipal water (drinkable) and septic system. There is a wood stove in the living room and baseboard heating in every room.

Lake Huron beaches and sunsets are not to be missed. We have 2 beach accesses that are shared by only members of our community. Both are a couple minutes walk from the cottage. One access is a slope path down to a ramp at the edge of the water, the other are stairs to another beach area. The beach is a combination of sand, pebbles and rocks with a gradual entrance into the lake. Lake Huron Sunsets are known to be spectacular. Be sure not to miss one!

We enjoyed our long weekend stay here. Jodi and Paul were fast at communicating with us. The cottage is very well kept and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with plates, cutlery and pots and pans. The oven and fridge were working well. The grounds were nice and well kept, with nice outside deck chairs.

Perfect getaway!

Stayed here with my husband and our dog and it was perfect! The kitchen is equipped for all our cooking needs with pots and pans, there was a program to log into our own Netflix on the th and it was amazingly spacious. The property is stunning and just a few minutes of a walk to the beach (involving stairs). Overall so happy we chose this place and have already started to discuss another stay with friends. Love it!

True serenity

This is the place to unwind and decompress. Very comfortable and very bright, and cozy at the same time. The place has everything you need to enjoy your stay including beautiful sun sets and starry skies. Very well though and very well maintained cottage. Thank you Jodi for your hospitality. It was the very needed vacation for me. I hope to come back again. See you soon....

Very pleasant week

The residence is nicely appointed and comfortable. We appreciated being able to bring our 13 year old Lab who enjoyed her walks in the area. My grandchildren (7 and 9) preferred to swim in Grand Bend as opposed to the small beach accessible from the cottage. The beach off Pavillion Rd is quite nice and we enjoyed swimming there as well. The front porch is comfortable and th erocking chairs were well used. The large lawns afforded us an opportunity to play numerous games. It was an enjoyable stay.

Lovely country stay.

This cottage is exactly as shown on write up. Well equipped. We had a little bbq and fire alarm issue but owner was on it. Friendly neighbourhood butting onto a cornfield. Beach rocky but we had exclusive use of it. Neighbours friendly, one man spent a lot of time sawing and burning pallets so it was a little noisy at times. Highly recommend

Great Little Getaway!

Serenity Now was just what my mom, sister and I needed. Its in an excellent location between Bayfield and Grand Bend. We did some shopping and enjoyed an afternoon at the Bad Apple Brewing Company. The cottage itself was clean and had everything you need in the kitchen to prep and make your own meals. We spent a lot of time on the deck just hanging out and reading. It was a 2 minute walk to the beach which did not disappoint. The sunsets were beautiful. The neighbours were friendly and helpful. One thing that we noticed was it did not have the patio furnitue as mentioned and shown in the photos. Good thing we brought our own chairs. :)

Just Lovely

Exactly as advertised. We absolutely loved it. The kids (6 &4) asked to come back. They played in the very spacious front & back yard all day. They never once, and I mean not once, asked for any devices. Also come with quite a few toys for children to enjoy in the yard! Went on daily morning and evening walks up and down the road, and the beach was a 3 minute walk. Such a beautiful and calming place. The Neigbours were friendly and kind. They recommended places to go on windy days when we couldn’t swim, and we adventured around Bayfield & Goderich (which by the way is well protected from waves and was swimmable) The kitchen was well stocked with everything that one would need , including some basic spices for cooking. The only downfall, our first and last night , which no one can control anyway, was the fertilizer smell from the farms next door was a killer. Lol. Some people can handle it , like myself, and some people can’t, like my husband. Lol. Kids didn’t seem to mind it. If there is one thing I’d have to recommend, it would be to invest in an air conditioning unit. Definitely recommend it for all who just want to get away from crazy , want some serenity, and enjoy some beautiful scenery and swims ! I have already shared the link with quite a few friends who were interested. Thank you to the owners who were amazing at communication!

Visitors from Poland

My in-laws from Poland visited us and we all (8 of us) stayed at this wonderful cottage for 3 nights. It was very clean and cozy, and accomodated our group nicely. The beach is a very short walk, and adjacent to the property lies beautiful farmland. I have only positive things to say. There were no disappointments or unexpected difficulties at all. Host was very communicative and clear with instructions. Very reasonably priced , close to Pinery Park.

About the host

Hosted by Jodi

Host profile image
We are a fun loving family of six and live in Burlington Ontario, outside of Toronto where our businesses take much of our time. We enjoy the peace and tranquility of our cottage called 'Serenity Now' as a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of our hectic lives.

Why they chose this property

We called our cottage 'SERENITY NOW!" after the Seinfeld episodes where George Costanza father (Frank Stiller) is calling out for 'Serenity Now!' If you haven;t seen it - check it out... then come to our cottage for some Serenity Now!

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is modern and open concept, bright and airy with cathedral ceilings and one side of all windows for natural light. Spacious and clean, there is lots of space inside and out to enjoy.

Lake Huron is a big lake with Ocean-like sounds as it ebbs and flows on the shore. The sunsets are some of the best in Canada and not to miss. Often cottages in Lake Huron on on the edge of a cliff, we have a paved slope down to the water's edge, easy to access across the road from the cottage.
