Wonderful!

We were absolutely delighted with our choice! The property is in a fantastic location, so close to the water and beautifully quiet, surrounded by nature but with quick access by car to Tobermory. The property is spotless, cozy yet modern and extremely well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the kayaks and sitting beside the fire gazing up at a sky full of stars. Dave and Tim are wonderful hosts, extremely thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable. Truly, this is a gem and we'll definitely return!

Tobermory gem

I cannot say enough about the beautiful location and comfortable and clean accommodations. Dave and Tim are amazing hosts who care very much about making their guests happy and at home. The property and waterfront are incredible, secluded and the house is not too far away from local restaurants and attractions. My teens and I have already talked about when we will be back!

Wonderful cottage in amazing Bruce Peninsula

Everything about our stay was great! From the beautiful location, to Dave and Tim's hospitality, to the care that they put into this cottage, came together to make for a phenomenal vacation. Their property is also well taken care of, with trails to walk around it, and chairs to lounge on. It is clear that Dave and Tim put a lot of work into making this property a lovely place to stay!

Vacation

Lovely place. The hosts were excellent. Accommodations one of the best we have ever had. Kayaking was a main goal and with four to pick from… kayaking heaven. Nice small downtown with restaurant choices plus a grocery store not too far away PLUS a garden to pick tomatoes from!! We had a true vacation.
