The cottage was great, the property was right on the water and only a few minutes from Tobermory. We had a great time with the fire pit, bbq, and kayaks there. Tons of space for a larger group of friends. The host was very helpful and made every aspect of the trip super easy. Although there’s no ac, there are plenty of fans and the breeze from the water so we never found it hot. Would definitely come back!
