Tobermory - Lake Huron Waterfront Private Home

Cottage on the Lake!!

Northern Bruce Peninsula Short Term Accommodation Class A/B permit #NBP-2021-557

Welcome to our beautifully restored waterfront cottage on scenic Lake Huron. Enjoy a clear view of the crystal blue waters of Warner Bay from the living room, or the huge second story deck. The original cottage was built in the 1970s and we were lucky to purchase it in 2009 from the first owners. In 2018 we made the leap into a full renovation to expand the capacity and make it super family friendly. We tastefully finished the interior with natural wood trim, solid wood doors, and ample natural light. You can relax in the same comfort of a modern home with the upgraded electrical, water filtration system, new plumbing, clean and modern bathrooms, and safety with CO and smoke alarms per modern building codes. This place has the charm of a waterfront cottage, but the peace of mind of a brand new home. On calm days the bay is amazing for canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding and swimming. The shoreline is rocky and does require some attention until you reach the smoother part of the lakebed. It’s shallow for quite a while and the clarity is stunning on calm days. Some type of water shoe or sandal is recommended. Enjoy an open fire by the shore or relax on the deck and listen to the water lapping against the rocks. Tobermory is less than 10 minutes by car and close enough to cycle for those wanting some exercise.

*** Occupancy Limits ***
Due to the Municipal Short-Term Accommodations (STA) bylaw we are limited to a maximum of 10 guests sleeping at the cottage. This limit further states that the 9th and 10th guests must be children aged 12 years or younger. We have beds for 6 adults and 4 children/youth (bunk beds). Therefore we can have up to 6 adults (18 years or older) + 2 youth (under 18yrs) + 2 children (12yrs or under).

We apologize for the complexity of the guest limits, and encourage you to seek more information on the bylaw from the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula.

*** Bruce Peninsula National Park ***
Reservations for park visits are required to ensure that when you arrive there is parking available. The Bruce Peninsula National park, the wider peninsula ecosystems, and the town of Tobermory are unique with very constrained spaces, and can be quickly overwhelmed by the number of excited visitors in the summer. We kindly ask that you remain aware of, and respect the local bylaws and restrictions designed to limit the impact to the natural areas. Please make the utmost effort to leave no trace of garbage or recycling, leave any areas you visit as you found them, respect the wildlife, wilderness, and respect locals and other visitors. We can all enjoy the peninsula together and show the locals how grateful we are of their stewardship and hospitality.

*** Cleaning and Linens/Towels ***
Our cottage is professionally cleaned and disinfected thoroughly between guests. Linens and bath towels can be request for an added laundering fee. You will be required to bring all bedding and towels for your stay if you DO NOT request linens at the time of your booking.

Check-in is always 4pm, check-out is always 11am. Our cleaners need as much time as possible to properly turn over the cottage between guests.

Thank you for checking out our rental!! If you have any questions before booking please send us an inquiry and we'll answer ASAP.

We hope you will book and have a beautiful stay on the incredible Bruce Peninsula.

Cheers!

There is no surprise this property is so highly-rated! Our two small families with three kids aged 8 and under had a fabulous time visiting the Bruce Peninsula and were very comfortable at this cottage. We appreciated how serene the location was while still offering great access to Tobermory and the other attractions of the area. We had everything we needed and ample space for our group. I have never stayed in a rental with such good knives!

Fantastic Getaway Spot

The property was beautiful and the breeze off the bay was wonderful. The cottage was nice and roomy and had everything we needed for our stay. The Host was awesome and the booking and checking in process was extremely easy to do. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful cottage. It is not a far drive from downtown Tobermory or to the Grotto. Great place for rest and relaxation.

Fantastic stay in a beautiful location

Our family of 5 along with visitors from Europe stayed in this beautiful home. It is large enough that everyone has an abundance of space. The beds were very comfortable and the space was very well maintained and clean!! The addition of the ping pong table and dart board were a welcome surprise. With just a few minutes drive to some of Ontarios most beautiful, scenic hikes and waterways this home has it all!! Thank you

A week at the Lakehouse

Our family of 7 includes three generations, all of whom enjoyed our one-week stay very, very much. The house is spacious and clean. It's well-equipped. It's secluded and quiet. The views are terrific. We found the house to be utterly congenial, even rivalling the considerable attractions of the Bruce outdoors. The owners saw to it that all our needs were accommodated promptly, even out-of-the-ordinary ones occasioned by some wild weather. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and hope to do so someday.

Amazing cottage experience

A group of us went up for 4 days and had for sure one of the best cottage experiences. The property is beyond beautiful along with the view from the deck. The pictures seriously don’t do this place justice! Clint was very helpful throughout the entire rental process and cottage experience if we needed anything. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you Clint!

Loved it

This is a great home in the most gorgeous setting. It feels like a private beach. The owner responds to everything on time. There was no light on the whole area and we were provided with lanterns and everything we needed. I didn’t read the contract and sheets and towels are not included but when we got there I called and it was resolved right away. Great place, great service, super clean. Would stay again

Beautiful Clean Peaceful Waterfront Cottage

My family and I had such a wonderful time staying here. Tobermory is absolutely stunning, and this cottage exceeded our expectations. Newly renovated, clean cottage with all the necessary things you need-canoe, life jackets, sticks for roasting marshmallows (we forgot ours and were so happy to find many there), everything you need in the kitchen, badminton and so much more. Beautiful views of the lake from inside with the the big windows. Gorgeous huge firepit. The hosts are very welcoming - I loved the personable welcome card and the guest book. Thank you to the hosts. We can't wait to be back.

Bruce Peninsula getaway

Clean, cute charming home Everything modern, recently renovated. Owners very responsive, and everything went smoothly. House had all necessary amenities. We were a bit warm on the upper floor on the first day, and I asked if they could provide fans, and 3 brand new fans were dropped off the next morning, which was perfect. Nice breezy in the living room, and a great view from the balcony. Great value and service, would definitely recommend to anyone. Thx Clint (and everyone)!

We will be back!

Our group was really happy with this property. It is very well equipped. It is newly renovated and everything was clean and in great shape. Beds were comfortable. The owners were very easy to deal with and even made my mother in laws 85th Birthday so special by leaving a welcome note and a little gift. It really meant a lot to us! You really do need water shoes to swim here but the water is beautiful and worth the effort to get into it. Next time we will bring an inflatable party island to anchor in the deeper water for swimming. The property itself has neighbours on either side but it feels very private. Thank you for sharing this beautiful spot! We will book again.

Wonderful!

We went to Bruce Peninsula to spend a whole week with the family (including two dogs! :) ). Plenty of space for everything and fantastic views to the lake. Perfect spot to relax and lots of privacy, you can only see the lights of the neighbours from the dock and mostly only during the weekend. The situation of the house is remarkable, close to Tobermory but separate enough to have the proper peace and rest. On the down side, the fridge and mostly freezer would need to be better cleaned. Linens and towels were provided without asking and lots of supplies that we did not expect, thank u! Quiet zone for roasting marshmallows on the firepit, surrounded by trees! We totally reccomend this cottage and it will be a nice place to come back for sure! :)

This was on of the loveliest VRBO rentals we have ever had and certainly it had the best view from the deck. Just splendid. Nice to go to sleep to and awaken to the sounds of waves off Lake Huron into Warner Bay. The house is very conveniently located--mere minutes from Tobermory shopping and dining and very close to all the major National Park attractions. The house is spacious and bright. We loved it and hope to return one day.

PERFECT Lake Huron Getaway! Peace, comfort and stunning views!We had an absolutely incredible stay at this gorgeous Lake Huron waterfront home in Tobermory. This home is spotless and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen has all the essentials for cooking, the beds and furniture are very comfortable. Large windows and big door wall made the lake visible from almost every room and the deck was our favorite spot for morning coffee and evening dinners. The location is awesome, only 10 minutes to Tobermory's shops, restaurants and hiking trails. We loved swimming and visiting Little Cove and Singing Sands.Our hosts were friendly, responsive and clearly take pride in making sure their guests have a great experience and wonderful stay. Hoping to return soon!!Thank you!
