Dan’s waterfront cottage is located by Cape Hurd in close proximity to Fathom Five National Park, Tobermory and the beautiful Bruce Trail. The cottage had a great set-up, beds were very comfortable, great games and the most beautiful sunsets and waterfront views. We enjoyed campfires and star gazing from the beautiful backyard. Cottage was clean, had great amenities, and exceeded our expectations. Dan responded in a timely manner when we had any questions for him.

Exactly as described, the cottage is cozy and spacious. The location is secluded but close to town. The waterfront is wonderful. As an artist, I loved the rocky beach and clear water. My sons enjoyed the paddle boarding and everyone enjoyed the evening camp fire. The kitchen is clean and well stocked. The welcome bottle of wine and cheerful card from Dan and Lesley was much appreciated. Thanks for a great holiday!

Secluded gem near the tip of Bruce Peninsula. Spectacular sunsets on a rocky shoreline. We enjoyed many of the excellent amenities offered. It’s minutes from Tobermory and other attractive destinations. The cottage is beautiful inside and out, and well stocked with all the conveniences. Super clean and well maintained. Highly recommended!

I gave the Waterfront Cottage a 5 star review because, admittedly, it is a 5 star property. However, I considered giving a much lower rating due to the fact that nowhere in the listing did it say I needed to bring my own bed linens and bath towels. Luckily, I read another review and emailed Dan the day before we arrived, so the crisis was averted. My only other issue was with the cleaning requirements. They seemed a little excessive, and again, not explained in the listing, only when you arrive. Having said all that...we were extremely impressed with the property! The view is spectacular, the beds are very comfortable, the place was spotless, and the extras (we only used the kayaks) were great! The beach is shale, so bring water shoes/flip flops for water access. Would I stay again? 100% absolutely. Our family had a fantastic, peaceful stay.

Great Stay

We had a lovely time at the cottage this past weekend. There was plenty of room for just the 2 of us, it's very private and quiet and the lakefront is beautiful, my husband even went for a quick dip in the cold lake! The wood stove and hot tub were great for chilly evenings. We also did some great hiking near The Grotto which was only about a half hour away.

Beautiful views

We stayed with family for 3 nights in this beautiful cottage . Lovely views . Cottage was clean ,host had several board games for kids . Tobermory is beautiful . Water is clean . As it was cold we did not go in water but would have been very good for someone coming in summer . Would have been nice to have sheets , towels included with the stay so guests don’t have to worry about brining these. Few extra things / staples in kitchen would have been helpful like coffee. We were here for Easter weekend and many places were closed nearby .

Lovely Getaway

The cottage had a beautiful view of the lake. It was nice to have two sitting areas outside, one on the deck and one closer to the lake. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We had a wonderful relaxing stay.

Relaxation Station

We loved our stay! Such a great spot to check out Tobermory and Bruce Peninsula National Park. Sitting in the Blue chairs by the lake each night to watch the sunset was our favorite. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to make meals each day. The beds were so comfortable and we slept well our entire stay. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
