The trail end beach house of Ruth and Chad is a really great house for several reasons : good vibes with nice decoration, super clean and modern, calm neighbourhood, easy access to Bruce trail by walking, very close to the beach, doorstep from the saturday farmer market and above all kids friendly with all amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and would have loved to stay longer.

Fantastic and relaxing stay

Ruth and Chad’s place in Lion’s Head was the perfect getaway! An easy walk to amazing hiking trails, and with the beach just across the street. The house itself is quiet and private, and right in the middle of the small town of Lion’s Head. Ruth and Chad were quick to respond, check-in was very easy, and the house was well equipped and comfortable. Would book here again in a heartbeat.

Lions Head Beach House

We were completely impressed by our hosts, Ruth and Chad, as the beach house was an awesome location for our week of hiking the Bruce Trail and the attention to detail was spot on. Hiking during the day, along the peninsula, and cooling off at the beach at the end of the day was perfect! The local coffee shop and restaurants were great options for our needs. Also, the beach house offered all the needs for our stay from comfort, cleanliness, linens/towels to 'goodies' supplied by our hosts. When we come back to this region this will definitely be our first choice!

My family and I had a wonderful time while staying at the Trails End Beach house. Ruth was an extremely responsive host and I felt confident that if the need arose, she would be available to assist.Thankfully our stay was smooth thanks to how neat, tidy and extremely organized and well thought out every aspect of the cottage was from the kitchen to the bathroom and bedrooms. Even the BBQ grill on the porch was extremely clean and ready to use within minutes of our arrival. We also appreciated the treats Ruth left for kids and grownups alike, they were a very nice surprise. Looking forward to staying again in the future!

100% recommending.

I recently stayed at this beautiful house, and it was an amazing experience! The house is absolutely stunning with cozy vibes that made us feel right at home. The view from the property is breathtaking, perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it easy to cook meals for the family. We also loved the TV with great subscriptions, which kept everyone entertained during downtime.Our family had a fantastic time here. The whole house was warm and inviting, making our stay super comfortable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway!What truly stood out was how accommodating the host was. We took a hike without realizing how long it would take, and the host was incredibly understanding, graciously allowing us to extend our checkout time. Their thoughtful and attentive support went above and beyond, adding to the warmth and comfort of our stay. Additionally, the host's generosity shone through as they gifted us a charming fridge magnet, a lovely keepsake from our trip. They also guided us to some wonderful neighbourhood spots, enriching our experience and helping us discover hidden gems in the area.Thank you so much Ruth and Chad.

Definitely I am going back!

The house was located at a perfect location. The check-in was a breeze and the host provided detailed information prior to our arrival. The house was neat, tidy and functional. My family (travelled with 3 kids) wanted to come back in the coming year.

Beautiful cottage!

Once again, we had a great week in Lion's Head. The cottage is beautifully decorated, clean and well maintained. Perfect for a family! The bunk bed and toys made it a blast for our kids. The cottage's proximity to the beach is a bonus, as is the general location of Lion's Head (allowed for easy day trips to Wiarton, Sauble Beach and Tobermory). Ruth's attention to detail and hospitality are wonderful!

We had a wonderful time at trails end. Felt like home away from home and Ruth was amazing too.

The area was perfect for all the things we wanted to go see and do. Like the grotto, Tobermory, flower pot island and sauble beach. Lions head is a beautiful little cove. We always ended our day at the beach playing vball, paddle boarding and walking along by the lighthouse. The cottage was clean, comfortable and Ruth had provided everything we needed. Highly recommend this place.

Nice cottage with lots to do close by

We had a nice stay at Trails End Beach House. It was clean and well equipped. It suited our needs for the week perfectly. The location is great - close to the beach and Lion's Head lookout trail on the Bruce, and only a short drive away from other interesting places to visit. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others for their vacation.

Fantastic place!

We loved our stay in Lion's Head. Ruth's cottage has lots of room, is beautifully decorated, well cleaned and extremely well suited to young children. Perfect location in a lovely little town. Close to Tobermory, Sauble Beach and Wiarton for day trips.

Perfect cottage for a small family getaway

My wife, almost toddler son and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at Trails End. You can see the water and cliffs from the deck and living room. The beach and playground is a minute's walk away (with a baby). The house was bright and clean. Everything we needed was there and our son loved the toys in the house and the wagon filled with beach toys outside. Grocery store and cafe/restaurants are a block away. Easy field trip with the wagon. Easy drive (half hour) to Bruce Peninsula Park and maybe 45 minutes to Tobermory.

Great family vacation home

We had a wonderful time at Ruth's beach house. It was a perfect place for our family (2 adults, 2 kids). The beach was just down the street and you could see it from the big windows in the living room. The area was great with every thing you needed right at your doorstep (grocery store, pub, cafe, lighthouse, hikes and the beach). The house was very clean and had everything we needed (including toys for the kids to play with when raining). Ruth was very responsive both before and during our stay. We highly recommend staying here! The only problem we had is that we didn't realize the grocery store was closed on Sunday....but that was on us for not paying attention! :)
