About this property
Afternoons on the Porch-King Beds! Fenced in Yard!
WIFI | AC | Gas Fireplace | Fenced Backyard | 1 Pet Allowed
Perfect for small families and couples, this cozy retreat is just a block from Main Street in Bayfield and steps from dining, shops, and local favorites. After a day of exploring, unwind in the King bed, sip your favorite drink on the front porch, or enjoy the spacious partially fenced yard—perfect for spring strolls or relaxing under the warm sunshine. With its warm charm and prime location, your unforgettable spring getaway awaits!
INSIDE Step into the bright white kitchen, complete with a butcher block countertop and modern appliances. The sink overlooks the lush backyard, making dish duty a bit more delightful. Pull up a stool at the peninsula to help prepare meals or just chat with the chef. The kitchen opens up to a cozy area with a couch and TV, perfect for movie nights or cheering on the Jays. Upstairs, you'll find three inviting bedrooms that comfortably sleep six.
The dining area, located right in front of a warm gas fireplace, sets the scene for memorable meals.

OUTSIDE Sliding doors beside the dining area lead to a patio with dining for six under a covered umbrella, a propane BBQ ready for your grilling masterpieces, and a large partially fenced-in yard perfect for bringing along your furry friends. The outdoor gas fire pit, surrounded by Adirondack chairs, is ideal for roasting marshmallows and stargazing. For a bit of classic lawn fun, there's a set of croquet ready to go. Out front, enjoy your morning coffee on the charming front porch, soaking in the peaceful vibes of Bayfield.
SLEEPING SPACES (All located upstairs) Premier Bedroom with King Bed Bedroom 2 - Queen Bed Bedroom 3 - Single Bed with Single Trundel bed that rolls out.
EXTRA'S Extras at the cottage include TV with cable options, AC, WIFI
NOTE: I expect we will have more beach this Summer 2025, depending on lake levels and what the lake pushes up. There are lake accesses all along Tuyll Street which is a great adventure to find your favorite! And you can walk 2 min to the Main Beach. The lakebed can be sandy or stoney depending on what the lake gives you that day. But it sure is fun to try to find the ever changing sandbars. Generally you will find sand 3ft out. It's fun to go stone collecting - Lake Huron is a geologists paradise! Just bring some water shoes. The nice thing is, it's not weedy or slimy at all.
NOTE: Parking is limited to 5 vehicles

ABOUT YOUR HOST I'm Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.
