Relaxing Stonehouse

Needed a few days of R&R and this property delivered. We spent many hours sitting on the dock and when the rain came we moved inside and enjoyed the view from in there. The house was clean, cozy and just what we needed. Will be back!

Lovely historic property visit

Gorgeous old limestone home. Well outfitted kitchen, clean home, screened gazebo & bbq handy. Lovely view of the lake from front porch & dock sitting. Access to Netflix via your satellite service, even watched one of your DVDs. Weather was perfect, so no time to play any board games you had for "just in case". Would absolutely recommend this gem of a property.

Outstanding cottage! Would recommend for a relaxing vacation

The property was great. The gazebo in back was used a great deal for card games and socializing. Any problems were quickly resolved by the owner. Just be careful of the shower it is very slippery. Everything you need is at the co-op store if you run short. Enjoy your stay!

Old time charm

It is a lovely solid old stone cottage that has been maintained very well and has all the conveniences. The beds are very comfortable and it has a well fitted out kitchen. There is a lovely view over the water and a great screened in gazebo for those evenings when the bugs are a bother. It probably would best suit adults though there is a big grass front garden to set up badminton.

Wonderful weekend despite of weather.

Awesome place, beautiful historic cottage on the island. Very comfortable cottage and well appointed. We enjoyed the bakery, Stone House restaurant and winery. The highlight was cooking at the cottage and enjoying the lake views. We came at an off peak time with not the best weather, but had a blast, one of the best trips of the year for my wife and I. We had some issues getting to the island due to weather and ferry cancellations and lost a night. Andrea and Alex were quick to offer a refund for that night. We ended up making it over the next morning and I’m glad we did! We biked around the island after a comfortable nap. Fun place to stay, beautiful island, hiking, biking and beaches. We look forward to coming back!

Charming and comfortable

This is the perfect place to explore Pelee Island from. Clean and welcoming, the cottage is restored beautifully. The view is wonderful from the front porch! The owners were quick to respond to our questions to ensure a perfect stay. Loved the location -- just down the road from the bakery. Would definitely return!!!

A perfect getaway!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay on Pelee Island and at the quaint stone house. We had everything that we needed. Lots of room in the kitchen and bedrooms as well as the living room. Beautifully decorated throughout. We enjoyed our drinks on the deck along the water’s edge along with the gorgeous sunsets. There was plenty of firewood to enjoy a campfire in the evening as well. The location was perfect, just down the street from the wonderful Bakery and a 10 minute drive to and from the ferry. We had a couple of concerns with our stay, one being that the sign-“Barefoot Cottages” must have come down in a storm as it was not posted as per the directions so we had to ask a local where the cottage was. Perhaps the address number of the cottage should be included in the directions? The stove top was not cleaned by the last tenant or cleaning staff and there was quite a bit of burnt food left on the surface. I did my best to clean the surface but could not locate a stove smooth top cleaner to do a proper job. Overall it was a perfect getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea & Alex

Alex grew up on Pelee Island’s west shore and his childhood summers revolved around lake activities. We met on the island, then got married on Pelee as we wanted to share this special place with our friends and family. When we had our two boys, we planned to make Pelee a part of their lives as well. We were excited to purchase the stone house and bungalow to give us a launching point for those moments, and also to share with guests to make their own. After purchasing the property, we learned Alex’s ancestor, Alexander McCormick was the original owner / builder of the stone house. We hope you and your family can build your own memories at Barefoot Cottages.
