The best things about the cottage was its privacy, ambience, decor, cleanliness, well stocked with daily essentials. Barrow Bay was close to all of the activities that we were interested in doing.The single issue we had was with the blue sofa. Although it looked new and was comfortable it smelled strongly of wet dog.

Beauty in the woods!

We drove by the driveway but easily corrected course. Gorgeous cottage - rustic little gem. We repaired a part of the stone patio with stones from not of the beaches we visited, to ease a potential tripping hazard. Septic system was not acting well, but we made the best of it. Temperature was comfortable, kitchen well appointed, and the fridge, stove and BBQ clean. All in all, we'd go there again!

What a great place to stay! We brought our dog with us and the property had two sections of grass areas that were lined by forest for her so it felt contained and quiet. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen for our stay. There’s a great fire pit on the large flagstone patio and great wildlife. We saw a hummingbird feeding in the large white-flowering bush beside the patio, and down the street we spotted a red tanager and an osprey flying overhead! We hiked out to the Lion’s Head lookout, visited the Grotto, and took a boat tour to Flowerpot Island during our visit, so a great location to experience the Bruce Peninsula. We’ll definitely return because there is so much more to do in the area.

Authentic Old Stone Cottage

Quiet, private, restful setting in lovely, forested grounds. Genuine old stone cottage, comfortable, well-equipped. Good location for visiting Bruce Peninsula National Park and Fathom Five National Marine Park - which were amazing experiences. The water in Lake Huron was so beautiful. Swimming was wonderful.

The fairytale cottage!

This little cottage is like something from a fairytale :) We absolutely loved it and would happily go back. The kitchen was very well equipped and the location of this cottage is great if you want to explore some of the less busy parts of the peninsula. The owners have a fantastic map of south peninsula hikes!

Delightful stay and charming cottage

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cottage, and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, with all the comforts you could wish for. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into making this a perfect getaway spot. The setting is tranquil and serene, providing the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether it was enjoying coffee on the porch, soaking in the peaceful surroundings, or exploring the nearby trails, every moment was a delight. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat.

Nice private cottage

Great location for day tripping across northern Bruce. The building is on the rustic side but a great fit for our family. We did not find the little lake access to be useful, for swimming we drove to Lion's Head. Cottage was well equipped. Some parts of the outside are showing their age and need of repairs and updates, but did not affect star gazing. Needs a new BBQ!

Just okay

This property could use some upgrades. It's okay if you're looking for just the basics but it could be much better if they paid more attention to it. You could do better than this property.

Exactly what a summer can should be!

My friends and I had the most marvelous, restorative stay at this true cottage. When we took that long, winding driveway into the property, we knew we were onto something special. The proximity to the Bruce Trail, first drew us to the property, and we walked the Lionshead peninsula both ways. In the evenings we played games and watched opera! (We had brought up our favourites). And I must mention the incredibly well stocked kitchen. I have never encountered this level of thoughtfulness in any of my VRBO stays before.

Fall stay

The property is a lovely setting with flag stone patio and wooded property. We heard distant cows in the mornings. It would be so nice if the fire place was working or had a wood stove installed. Particularly for the fall and winter seasons. There was an unpleasant smell in the two bedrooms, perhaps caused by the extreme moisture in the location. But if that could be addressed the time spent indoors would be more pleasant.

Great getaway

The area is beautiful. As three adults we made this charming cottage work for us. It is clean and presentable. Very comfortable beds with a full kitchen and lots of space to roam and play outside. Brand new windows and doors in the building made it a comfortable temperature with the baseboard heaters (we were there the end of September). The water is not potable, I missed the note about that in the welcome letter. Fortunately, we had taken a case of water with us. And, if you have a sensitivity to mould I would not recommend this place. Over all we were happy with our short stay. The owner is very easy to communicate with. I loved the stitch pieces on the wall by the owner from days gone by.

Worst cabin we have ever stayed at

We have stayed at many VRBO rentals and this has been the worst experience we have ever had. After we booked our stay we were notified that we could not use the water for drinking or cooking...the rental description never mentioned this. Once we arrived we noticed a horrible mold smell throughout the cabin. Even though it was cold outside we had to open all the windows in order for it to be tolerable. My husband and I still felt ill from the smell however. If you have any allergies to mold I would highly recommend staying away from here. The second day we were here we came back after a morning getaway to find the cabin bedroom completely infested with ants. We tried to take a nap but had half a dozen ants crawling all over us while another half dozen at least we're crawling all over the walls. The kitchen water heater started leaking the second day we were there. We regret staying here and it put a huge damper on our vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth

Host profile image
Paul and Liz moved from UK 20 years ago. One of the reasons they love Cobblestone so much is because it reminds them of the UK. They are happy to share their little unique cottage with you.

Why they chose this property

Barrow Bay can easily be missed to drive through but it’s central to so many places. It is a beautiful area which is extrememly popular for hikers.

What makes this property unique

Cobble stone is Rustic, very comfortable but at the same time basic accomodation. It is an original stone cottage a nostalgic feel to it. Cobblestone property provides complete privacy. As you drive up the winding driveway through an archway of old trees the first thing that greets you are 2 old stone gateway post. It’s a bit like coming through the wardrobe in Narnia and there tucked away is this little cottage. We love it.
