About this property

Mary’s Cottage : A Relaxing Port Albert Escape

Escape to the peaceful lakeside community of Port Albert and enjoy an authentic Lake Huron cottage getaway at Mary’s Cottage. This comfortable 3-bedroom cottage sleeps up to 6 guests and is an excellent choice for families, couples, friends, fishing enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature.



Located within an easy walk of Lake Huron, the beach, Nine Mile River, the fish ladder and the walking bridge, Mary’s Cottage gives you easy access to some of the area’s best outdoor activities without sacrificing the comfort of having your own private cottage.



The Cottage



Mary’s Cottage offers a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with everything you need for a traditional cottage vacation.



The main living area provides a comfortable place to gather after a day at the beach or on the water, with plenty of seating, a Smart TV and a cozy fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing family meals easy, while the dining area provides a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy them together.



The cottage has three bedrooms and one bathroom, sleeping up to six guests:



* 1 Queen bed

* 1 Double bed

* 2 Twin beds



Wi-Fi is provided, making it easy to stay connected when you need to, although you’ll probably find yourself spending most of your time outside.



Outdoor Living



The large property gives guests plenty of room to relax and enjoy the outdoors.



Start your morning with coffee on the deck, fire up the BBQ for dinner, or spend the afternoon exploring the shoreline and surrounding countryside.



Port Albert is particularly appealing to guests who enjoy fishing, hiking, cycling, kayaking and other outdoor activities. The nearby Nine Mile River and Lake Huron provide plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy the natural setting.



Lake Huron & Port Albert



One of the biggest advantages of Mary’s Cottage is its location.



You’re just a short walk from the Lake Huron shoreline and the beach, as well as the Nine Mile River, fish ladder and walking bridge. Port Albert offers a quieter, more relaxed alternative to some of the busier Lake Huron beach communities.



Spend the day at the lake, explore the area by bicycle, go fishing, take a walk along the river, or simply enjoy the slower pace of cottage country.



Perfect for Families & Outdoor Enthusiasts



Mary’s Cottage is particularly well suited to guests who want to spend their vacation outdoors while still having a comfortable place to return to at the end of the day.



It’s also a great option for:



* Family vacations

* Fishing getaways

* Couples looking for a quiet retreat

* Weekend escapes

* Cycling trips

* Kayaking adventures

* Fall colour getaways

* Off-season stays

* Snowmobiling and winter outdoor activities



The cottage is also pet-friendly, allowing you to bring up to two pets so the whole family can enjoy the getaway.



Stay with Friends or Family



Need more space?



Mary’s Cottage can be rented together with Pine Grove Cottage, located across the road. This provides a convenient option for families or groups who want to vacation together while maintaining separate accommodations.

This property was perfect. The cottage is light and airy, lots of windows. Beautiful views. We spent our time mostly in the sunroom, with coffee on the deck daily. Great location.

Just spent a week at Mary's Cottage. Found the host and associates to be very accommodating. The cottage was quaint and cozy, but really only comfortable for about 4 people. The lack of air conditioning made it somewhat uncomfortable for sleeping simply because the outside temp was in the 30's during the day. The area was safe and the beach was only a couple minutes away, so that helped. If you're looking for a quiet relaxing stay away from home, I would recommend staying there, but don't forget to bring a couple of fans.

My wife and I spent 5 days in mid June at Mary's Cottage. The cottage was perfect size for the two of us, with the front room being my main domain. The weather did not cooperate with our stay with an all day rain the one day and cooler temperatures on another 2 days, so our enjoyment of the the outdoor area of the cottage was very limited. We can see that the outdoor area would be well used when the weather is better. There is a mix of sunny and shady areas for your outdoor comfort. The area is quiet with a small amount of street traffic. We did enjoy a short walk to the lake and a stroll up and down the beach. We found the cottage clean and comfortable. Our host touched base with us after we checked in to ensure everything was to our satisfaction and to let us know that we can contact him anytime. The town of Port Albert is a bedroom community with no retail which did not bother us at all. We spent Saturday morning in Godrich, at the weekly market and the Monday we went north to Kincardin. We did not realize that Kincardin has a market on Monday's so we were able to enjoy a tasty lunch there instead of heading into a restaurant.All in that being said the cottage was a perfect get away for my wife and I and our host made the experience very easy.
