Lakeside Cottage Retreat:Serene Getaway with Breathtaking Sunsets (Pet-Friendly)

Welcome to our lakeside cottage retreat! Nestled beside the serene waters of Huron Lake, our charming cottage offers the perfect escape for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

One of the main highlights of our cottage is the breathtaking sunset view that graces the horizon each evening. As the sun slowly descends, painting the sky with hues of gold and pink, you'll find yourself captivated by the beauty that unfolds before your eyes. The crystal-clear waters of Huron Lake create a stunning backdrop, reflecting the vibrant colours and adding to the enchantment of the scene.

Beyond the stunning sunset views, our cottage's location provides easy access to several nearby attractions. The charming town of Tobermory is just a short drive away, known for its picturesque harbour, quaint shops, and delicious local cuisine. Stroll along the waterfront, explore the unique boutiques, and treat yourself to a memorable dining experience.

Nature enthusiasts will delight in the proximity to the Bruce Peninsula National Park, a haven for hikers and outdoor adventurers. Discover scenic trails that wind through ancient forests, lead to breathtaking lookout points, and offer glimpses of stunning wildlife. The park also boasts the famous Grotto, a natural sea cave with sparkling blue waters, perfect for swimming and snorkelling.

Singing Sands Beach is within reach for beach lovers, offering a pristine shoreline with soft sand and calm waters. Spend the day basking in the sun, building sandcastles, or taking a refreshing dip in the lake.

After a day of exploring, return to the peaceful ambiance of our lakeside cottage. Whether you choose to relax on the deck, soak in the beauty of the sunset, or gather around the campfire with loved ones, the peaceful ambiance will rejuvenate your spirit.

Furthermore, we understand that your pets are part of the family, so our cottage is pet-friendly. You can bring your furry companions along to join in on outdoor adventures and create memories together.

Please note that we only accept Saturday-to-Saturday weekly bookings during the hot season, ensuring you have ample time to fully immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity of the surroundings.

Home again!
My husband's family were the original owners until we sold a few years back. When we booked we were so excited to be back to see our little piece of paradise. We were so happy to see all the improvements made. The cottage is wonderfully set up and so clean. The huge deck is absolutely lovely for dinners outside and enjoying the view Our hosts were wonderfully quick to respond to any of our questions. This vacation was like going back home again! We enjoyed it so much.

Wonderful trip
We had a great time at this cottage. The lakeside location was gorgeous. We loved that Singing Sands beach was so close (less than 10 min drive) and proximity to the grocery store and restaurants/shops was great (less than 20 min drive). Check in was very simple, the cottage was clean and equipped with everything we needed, and the hosts were quick to respond to and resolve any concerns we had. I hope we can stay here again!

Amazing property and owners
I had reached out to Michael as my now Fiancées family were the original owners of this property. I wanted to propose here but didn’t know if that would be possible. Michael went above and beyond to make that a reality for us. Cannot say enough great things about Michael. A genuine human being! As for the property, if you book here you will not be disappointed! The view is stunning, the cottage is cozy and it is very serene. We have spent many years here enjoying a fire while listening to the waves crash. If you love sunsets and starry skies this place is for you! Lots of places to hike around the area as well. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and look forward to going back! Thank you Michael for all of your generosity and quick communication!

Beautiful week on Dorcas Bay!
My husband and I and our two young adult sons (who still love skipping stones on the shore) loved the stay in Michael's cottage. One of the cleanest rentals we have stayed at! Everything we needed was there for us, even a feeding spot all set up for our pup. Lots of living space, plus a huge deck which doubles that. Comfortable beds, Postcard view of the sunset every night. Michael responded immediately to any questions. Highly recommended if you plan to visit the Bruce Peninsula.

Serene Getaway with à Beautiful View
Our family and friends stayed at Micheal and Mary’s cottage for two nights, three days. We were three adults and two children under 3. The house was very nice, well kept, clean, had everything you needed. The property was also wonderful. Lots of open grass area for the kids to play, a fire pit and bbq. The waterfront area is quite rocky so be prepared with water shoes as the algae can be slippery. Nonetheless the kids had fun throwing rocks into the bay and the view was so serene. The proximity to Singing Sands beach was amazing - so close. Just a short car or bike ride away. The beach is incredible for kids and adults alike as it stays shallow for quite a ways out. The water is crystal clear you can see all the tiny fish swimming around your feet. Even for late June the temperature was nice and warm. Micheal and Mary are lovely hosts who were quick to respond to all our questions and helped us feel welcomed and comfortable. I would stay here again and highly recommend it!

Mesmerizing turquoise waters and awe-inspiring sunsets!!!
Beautiful waterfront cottage in ideal location for outdoor lovers and enthusiasts alike. Morning coffee on Adirondaks overlooking the turquoise blue waters of lake huron followed by kayaking with my two 6 year olds in Dorcas Bay. Afternoons were spent going to Tobermory shopping and sightseeing, hiking the Bruce Trail, swimming and snorkeling in the bay, flying kites at the cottage on windy days, hitting up playgrounds at Lion's Head and Tobermory and sometimes just sitting back with a good book in my hammock at the waters edge at the cottage. This is a cottage where unforgettable family memories are made!!! Thank you Michael for being an amazing host!!!

Superbe séjour
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour en famille avec nos deux enfants et mes parents. Coup de cœur pour le kayak à l’heure du coucher de soleil. Il est très agréable de se baigner dans le lac. L’emplacement est tout simplement parfait. Des chaussures d’eau rendent l’expérience plus agréable. Le chalet est chaleureux et très bien équipé. Michael, le propriétaire répond rapidement à nos questions et se soucie d’améliorer la qualité de l’expérience. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la passe d’exploration des parcs Canada offerte pour le temps du sejour.
