Tubside Tranquility is tucked into a quiet, wooded corner of Tobermory, one of Ontario’s most iconic waterfront destinations. Surrounded by trees and set back from busy roads, the cottage feels peaceful and secluded, offering a true sense of retreat—yet remains just minutes from the area’s most celebrated attractions.

From this location, it’s easy to explore Fathom Five National Marine Park, known for its crystal-clear waters, historic shipwrecks, and access to Flowerpot Island via glass-bottom boat tours and ferries. Big Tub Lighthouse and Big Tub Harbour are close by, offering scenic shoreline walks, panoramic views, and some of the best sunset and photography spots in the region. Little Tub Harbour, the heart of downtown Tobermory, is also nearby and features charming shops, galleries, cafés, and waterfront dining.

Nature lovers will appreciate the short drive to Bruce Peninsula National Park, home to the famous Grotto, Indian Head Cove, and a network of hiking trails that wind through forest and along dramatic limestone cliffs. In winter, the area transforms into a quiet wonderland ideal for snowshoeing, winter hiking, and peaceful exploration, while the dark skies make for excellent stargazing on clear nights.

Despite its proximity to Tobermory’s attractions, Tubside Tranquility maintains a calm, uncrowded atmosphere. Evenings are especially serene, with snow-dusted trees, minimal traffic, and the gentle stillness of the surrounding forest.

Blending privacy, comfort, and unbeatable access to the Bruce Peninsula’s natural highlights, Tubside Tranquility is an ideal base for travellers seeking relaxation, outdoor adventure, and the timeless charm of Tobermory—no matter the season.
