Our stay was wonderful! North Paw was clean, cozy and the view was exceptional. Our hosts have gone out of their way to make it a great experience with walking trails, campfire with wood, outdoor chairs and cushions. We thoroughly recommend NorthPaw, especially if you enjoy the outdoors.
Beautiful and peaceful place to stay, overlooking the water. Clean and comfortable. Easy drive into Tobermory, less than 10 minutes. Highly recommended!
I don’t have the words for how wonderful our trip was. Our hosts were amazing - the property was idyllic - and every moment of our weekend was magic. We definitely want to come back! Thank you Tim and Dave for everything!
We loved our stay and Dave and Tim are amazing hosts. The privacy and peacefulness were fantastic. Only 5 minutes away from the grocery store too which was very handy. We’ll be back!
We had a fabulous time at North Paw! Views were amazing! Dave and Tim were wonderful hosts! Everything we needed was there! Loved listening to the lake at night and enjoyed sitting by the lake for the sunset each night! We hope to get back for another visit!

Our stay at North Paw was absolutely wonderful. The property is shaped like a palm hand, surrounded by beautiful, clear water that felt calm and refreshing every day. The cottage itself was clean, cozy, and made us feel right at home. We especially enjoyed our evenings by the campfire—it became a special part of our trip. The natural setting was alive with blue jays and other birds, which made the mornings and afternoons so peaceful and enjoyable. Overall, it was the perfect place for relaxation, fun, and creating memories. We truly appreciate the care the owners have put into making this such a welcoming and beautiful spot. We can’t wait to return!”
Comfortable and well decorated apartment in a beautiful location. Really really beautiful. Kitchen was small - but we anticipated that and didn't plan on cooking there a bunch. Great location. Dave and Tim were great hosts. They had so many things for guests' use like kayaks for all four of us, water shoes, sunscreen, beach towels, etc. We would love to come back!
Our stay at the North Paw was simply perfect! Dave and Tim were absolutely charming and welcoming! The place was spotless clean and the right size for our needs. The North Paw is perfectly located, water is extremely clean and there is lots to do with the kayaks, paddle boards etc. Just close enough to Tobermory, you will enjoy the silence of the lake and the magnificent sunsets!We can only recommend this absolute jewel on the lake! Thanks again Dave & Tim!
Dave and Tim's place was absolutely spectacular, and the pictures don't even do it justice! The hosts were so friendly and helpful in all ways - their recommendations for places to go and things to see were perfect. The apartment was spotless and was equipped with everything you could possibly need, both inside and out. The location could not have been better - just a few minutes from the heart of Tobermory, but very very quiet and secluded once you're at North Paw. We have incredible photos and memories and definitely hope to go back for a longer stay!
Amazing well kept property, and a great place to recharge and watch the stunning sunrises and sunsets. Very welcoming hosts as well. Super clean and organized, and we loved the labels!

North Paw is wonderful, serene, perfectly located getaway that you will not want to leave. The hosts Dave and Tim are helpful, friendly, thoughtful and they know all the good spots around the Bruce Peninsula. We saw lots of wildlife, sooo many stars. We enjoyed the bonfires, used the kayaks and appreciated all the amenities provided. The apartment is clean and comfortable, we did not miss anything. Thank you for a wonderful stay
We were greeted by the fabulous hosts and their dog when we arrived. The property and amenities were fantastic. We had such a wonderful time- it was a great home base to our Tobermory travels.
