About this property

Wayfarer Cottage! Close to Everything!

Another incredible evening on the back deck with a glass of wine at the Wayfarer Cottage- you’ll be so glad you came! This super clean cottage is the perfect spot for a well deserved rest. Ideally located near the Pinery Park and the crystal waters of Lake Huron in desirable Van Dongen subdivision of the wonderful beach town of Grand Bend.

As soon as you walk in the door, you will know that you have found the right place for your vacation. Quality furnishings and ample rooms are a hallmark of this cottage. Out back, enjoy the large backyard with it’s large deck, lovely trees, fire-pit, horse shoes and of course, the natural gas BBQ.

Rainy afternoon? Why not take in a movie on the large screen TV? Meals are a joy to prepare as you move around the kitchen making that dish you’ve been waiting to try out. A Pinery Pass is included with your stay so you can sun yourself on the beach, hike the trails or rent a kayak at this beautiful provincial park. Or take a short drive and eat out at one of the many excellent restaurants and cafes in Grand Bend or Bayfield! Lots to do in this area!

The Wayfarer cottage has just been renovated with new flooring and trim. The cottage features 3 Bedrooms, each having 1 Queen Bed. Why not book a week or two nights today? You deserve it!

Our third rental at or near Grand Bend and this one was the best for our family of four. It had everything we needed, well appointed kitchen, newer appliances, nice gas grill, fire pit, 2 large flat screen TVs, comfortable beds. Clean, quiet and private. Perfect if you are ok with a short drive (7-10 mins) to the strip and parking there. You must supply your own linens, but the washer/dryer really came in handy. Will definitely look to book here again. Excellent communication from property mgr too.

It was a great place to stay in, an 8 minute drive from the main beach area. Very cozy , very clean has all facilities you need including washing machine and dryer. The outside area is spacious and well furnished . Very nice neighbourhood and quiet atmosphere. Air conditioning is excellent and rooms are spacious with excellent quality mattresses. The kitchen is well equipped and there is also a barbecue which we didn’t use . Our host was helpful we even extended our stay and didn’t want to leave

Entire cottage was very clean and all kitchen appliances were well kept and in good working order. Deck was spacious and BBQ grill was in really good condition.Power awning was a nice addition we have not enjoyed at other cottages we have rented in the area.A little inconvenient to bring sheets back and forth and to make up beds after a long drive but perhaps that helps to keep the cost reasonable. Would be nice to have light fixtures in the middle of living and bedrooms instead of just small table lamps but otherwise very little to complain about.

Quiet and wonderful stay

Clean, quiet, and mostly renovated. Really enjoyed the cottage and being close to the Pinery Provincial Park (appreciated the Seasons Pass included). Appreciated the AC and the internet access (the internet access did go off though, so had to get help). All the furniture looks nice like the photos show, but the dining room chairs and some of the mattresses may need upgrading. The cottage had a washer and dryer in the kitchen, but I didn’t use them, since the property manager told me they weren’t included. -
