My cousins (female age 55-79) meet annually for a fun weekend together and this cottage was perfect! We had lots of room to spread out, there was even room for all ten of us to do yoga inthe living room! Overall it was VERY well equipped, clean, quiet and true to the AD description. May I suggest the basement sofa bed could be replaced. This cottage is EXCELLENT and we highly recommend. Thankyou George!

We had a great time staying at this cottage! It was the perfect layout for our two families. Although it was a short walk to the beach, it was a lovely beach! We loved the fenced in backyard for playing with our small children and dog. Unfortunately, we learned after check in that drinking water is not provided and we were required to bring our own.

The cottage is very spacious and was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.My only complaint was that we could not enjoy sitting out on the back deck or 3-season room due to the frequent drafts of sewage.

It was a great spot for our family gathering. We enjoyed the space. The open concept cottage was great for our social time and the Christmas tree was a nice touch. All interactions with George were timely, pleasant, and helpful. We look forward to having an opportunity to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by George Karaolis

Host profile image
I grew up in Waterloo, Ontario. When I was in my 20's I moved to Toronto for 8 years. Some people enjoy the city and go go go. My vacations used to consist of Las Vegas, New York, Mexico and Niagara falls in between. I moved back to Waterloo in my late 20's and I met my beautiful wife who introduced me to Bayfield in my 30's.
My wife has been coming to Bayfield for over 40 years. We purchased a trailer and spent every single weekend in the summer here. We love the beautiful scenery and the Nature Bayfield has to offer with the beautiful lake and the most stunning sunset this country. Bayfield also has beautiful boutique shops in downtown Bayfield and all the nice restaurants and local attractions, I am still learning that there is so much to do here that I have not even taken advantage of.

Why they chose this property

We decided to give back and let people experience the things life has to offer which is just over an hour from my hometown in Waterloo. We recently purchased this property and decided to undergo renovations prior to renting it out for the season. We have changed the floor in the Great Room as well as the 3 of the 4 bedrooms. With my 2 small beautiful children, we designed this place so we can use it for our enjoyment. Therefore, my home is your home. I am very neat and tidy and clean, so my commitment to you is you are walking in to a cottage with the feel of a home. I would never want my kids playing in a place that is not clean at all times.

I know a lot of people purchase used furniture since it is just a cottage and no need to spend money. That is not our mentality. We decided to refurnish the entire house:

Ensuite Bedroom #1- Brand new King Size Bed with 2 night tables.
Main Floor Bedroom #2 - Brand new Bunk Beds (for people less than 125 pounds please) with a pull out bed at the bottom of the bunk bed for smaller kids. As well as a new Twin bed.
Main Floor Bedroom #3 - Brand new Queen bed with Dresser and night table
Basement Bedroom #4 - Brand new Queen bed with 2 night stands.

In addition, to the new bedroom sets, there is a beautiful wood dining table that fits 8 comfortably with 8 new designer chairs. It can easily fit 2 more without worrying about space. If the 10 at the table will not suffice, there is also an island between the kitchen and the dining room which can accommodate a few more.

We also decided to furnish this place with a new Sofa and 2 chairs in the open concept Great Room.

There is an additional sectional sofa in the basement which also has a pull out double bed.

The backyard has a beautiful fire pit so you can enjoy this half acre lot day or night.

What makes this property unique

Huge property.
2nd row chalet style cedar home, custom built.
French doors and balcony overlooking the great room.
Fenced yard for privacy.
Beautiful patio that wraps around 3 sides of the house (Front, side, back).
Just steps from 2 separate beach access points to beautiful lake huron with sandy beach.
