Framed by the pristine waters of Lake Huron, and minutes from Tobermory, this location blends tranquility, adventure, and raw natural beauty in equal measure.

A Sanctuary for Nature Lovers
From Driftwood, you’re within easy reach of iconic destinations like Bruce Peninsula National Park and the legendary Grotto, where turquoise waters meet ancient dolomite cliffs. The Bruce Trail, Canada’s oldest and longest marked hiking route, weaves through the region offering breathtaking viewpoints, forested walks, and hidden coves.

Fathom Five National Marine Park, just north in Tobermory, is a gateway to underwater exploration. Dive or snorkel shipwrecks in some of Canada’s clearest waters, kayak to Flowerpot Island, or take a glass-bottom boat to explore its limestone stacks and quiet trails.

Charming Coastal Living
The charming village of Tobermory, less than 15 minutes away, welcomes guests with a vibrant marina, boutique shops, and a warm, nautical spirit. Enjoy the catch of the day at The Fish & Chip Place, sip a craft pint at Tobermory Brewing Company, or unwind on a patio overlooking the harbor with a local whitefish dinner.

Adventure in Every Season
Summer brings endless days on the water—paddleboarding, boating, swimming, and sunset watching from Driftwood’s private shoreline. As the seasons change, the peninsula transforms into a winter wonderland, perfect for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or cozy evenings fireside.

Unmatched Privacy and Sunsets
Set on nearly an acre of wooded lakefront, Driftwood is positioned for jaw-dropping sunsets over Lake Huron. Whether you’re watching from the deck, the private shore, or nestled in the sauna, every evening becomes a golden-hued ritual.

Authentically Northern
The Northern Bruce Peninsula is defined by its welcoming spirit. Here, locals are eager to share stories, recommend trails, or point you toward the best local wine, smoked fish, or handmade goods. Farmers’ markets, roadside stands, and quiet artisanship shape the peninsula’s authentic charm.

Your Launchpad for Leisure and Exploration
At Driftwood, you’re far enough to feel the stillness of the forest and lake, yet close enough to experience the very best of Tobermory and the surrounding wilderness. Whether you’re here for a restorative escape, a hiking adventure, or a lakeside family gathering, the neighbourhood offers a timeless rhythm that invites you to slow down, settle in, and truly connect.
