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!

Heaven on the Huron!

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!

Perfect getaway

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!
