Stokes Bay is a tiny, quiet harbour community tucked along the rugged shoreline of Lake Huron, loved for its laid-back cottage atmosphere, wide-open water views, and sense of calm that’s hard to find elsewhere. The bay itself is a naturally protected inlet, which means the water is often calmer here than on the open lake—ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and launching small boats directly from the shoreline.

This peaceful corner of the Northern Bruce Peninsula is defined by its connection to nature. Nights are dark and star-filled, wildlife sightings are common, and days unfold at an unhurried pace. The area has a classic “end of the road” feel, where cottages are spaced out, traffic is minimal, and the sounds of waves, wind, and birds replace city noise. It’s the kind of place where mornings start with coffee by the water and evenings end watching the sun melt into Lake Huron.

Stokes Bay also makes a wonderful home base for exploring the peninsula. Scenic backroads lead to rocky shorelines, hidden coves, and forested hiking trails, while nearby villages offer convenient stops for groceries, cafés, local shops, and the occasional ice cream run. Day trips to Tobermory, Bruce Peninsula National Park, or inland lakes and trails are all easily within reach.

Despite its proximity to popular attractions, the neighbourhood itself remains quiet and uncrowded, even in peak season. It’s perfectly suited for guests looking to unplug, spend time on the water, and reconnect with the simple pleasures of cottage life.

With calm bay waters, dramatic sunsets, dark skies, and a truly relaxed atmosphere, Stokes Bay is an ideal retreat for anyone seeking peace, nature, and the timeless charm of the Bruce Peninsula.

Midnight Star is bright, clean, and easy to settle into—designed for real cottage living, not just looking pretty in photos. The main floor is open-concept with high white wood ceilings and big windows that pour in natural light all day. The living room feels warm and social, centred around a striking stone fireplace and comfy seating for movie nights, rainy-day lounging, or curling up with a book after the beach.

The kitchen flows right into the dining and living areas, so nobody’s stuck cooking alone. It’s well laid out and fully equipped for family meals, grilling sides, or lazy breakfasts before heading out. The whole space has a fresh, modern cottage feel—wide-plank floors, soft neutral tones, and simple finishes that keep things calm and uncluttered.

With three bedrooms, everyone gets their own corner to recharge. Each room is cozy and restful with comfortable beds and a quiet, tucked-away feel—perfect after long days on the water. Two full bathrooms make group trips easy, and both are bright and updated, including a spa-style setup with a double vanity and a roomy glass shower for rinsing off lake days fast.
