This spacious one-bedroom cottage was perfect as a base for our Bruce Trail hikes in the Georgian Bluffs area. It is fully equipped, spotless, and quiet. Denise, the host, was very helpful and pleasant. The property is on the lake, which is just a short walk down a graveled path. It's wonderful to sit down at the lake in the evenings watching the wildlife. We would be happy to come back!

We had an amazing time this weekend! The place is beautiful and immaculate. And the lake . Denise greeted us personally when we got there, and went over her fantastic binder of places to go see, and eat. We had everything we needed there. We were fortunate that the weather was perfect too! We were able to have a bonfire, which was all set up for us. Just a perfect getaway for our anniversary We will definitely be back!

Amazing retreat

We had a wonderful time staying at Denise’s lake house.She was welcoming and incredibly friendly even offered us fresh herbs from her garden. We kayaked on the lake which was peaceful and serene and later enjoyed a fire. The lake house is exactly what we needed to relax and with it being located so close to Wiarton we were able to explore the area with ease. Thank you so much Denise for your kindness it felt like home away from home.

Relaxing Retreat

Had an amazing time at the Lakehouse. Our host was very personable and took the time to provide information on places to eat, hike and wildlife in the area. The Lakehouse was spotless, spacious and very comfortable. The location is no more than 30 minutes from many areas of interest including trails, beaches, quaint restaurants, ice cream and waterfalls. We would definitely go again to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Everything was perfect. Beautifully decorated and smelled like a spa! Such a warm and welcoming space. Perfect location to owen sound , wiarton and Bruce Trail. Denise gave us so many great suggestions. The Cesaro restaurant in OS was amazing. Fancy coffees every morning by the lake with beautiful chimes. Fun card games available on the first floor for night time wine and listening to music on the Bose Saw cranes and baby loons. Not enough time to do it all, so we'll be back!!! Thanks, Denise!

I enjoyed three nights at Lake House on the Bruce Peninsula. I wanted a little get away and a nostalgia trip to some favourite places in the area. Lake House fulfilled my objectives perfectly. I did a few meals on site with the well equipped kitchen and Denise supplied a welcoming vase of fresh herbs and later some peas and cucumber from her garden. I also went to a few eateries recommended in the detailed welcome book. As it is suggested that I comment on bed comfort, I will tell you I was wishing I knew where to get such a comfortable mattress. The accommodations were perfect for a short get away with lots of things to do and see in the area when I wished to do that. But some quiet time was also a joy. I would highly recommend Lake House as is a quieter choice than beach front options.

Wonderful holiday in the Bruce Peninsula

Spent an enjoyable weekend at the Lake House. Perfect for a couple looking to enjoy the outdoors and still have all the comforts of home. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to start our days out right (including fresh herbs I added to our omelets!) We hiked along the Bruce Trail and saw some nice waterfalls and amazing views of Lake Huron from the Lion's Head Lookout Trail. Wished we had another day since we didn't get a chance to kayak (at the Lake House) since we were out and about the entire time. Denise and Ron are wonderful hosts and very responsive. We can't to come back!

Awesome beautiful relaxing getaway for two!

The hosts Denise and Ron were fabulous, warm and inviting by introducing themselves when we arrived, showing us around and keeping in contact to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The Lakehouse is in the perfect central location of Bruce County and is only a 10 minute drive to Wiarton. A binder was provided full of information and maps regarding the region's attractions, shopping and dining. An added personal touch was leaving an assortment of vegetables and herbs picked from their garden for us to use in the full functioning kitchen and Denise also shared one night with us a freshly baked dessert she had made. The Lakehouse is private and quiet, spotless, beautifully renovated and decorated with a mix of old and new, very comfortable and supplied with all the amenities of home. The serene lake, which is a short walk on the property, was the perfect place at night to have a bonfire, and to watch the sunsets and stars. Overall highly recommend this beautiful quiet relaxing romantic getaway for two!
