About this property

Lakefront Haven - Your beachfront escape

Truly a Haven!!

With large yard for games and treasured vacation afternoon naps and beach beach beach! This 3 bedroom family cottage is just 4kms north of Bayfield on a nice quiet lane.

INSIDE
Cooking is a joy in the newly renovated fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare your favorite dishes. And dishwasher is a bonus
Family Room great for games or movie night! Smart TV so you can login to your own Netflix/PrimeVideo/Disney account and cuddle up together in front of the gas fireplace.
There is a window Air Conditioner to help the heat - but this is NOT central air conditioning

NOTE: Playpen/Highchair available upon request

OUTSIDE
Out back you'll appreciate the huge yard for games including bean bag toss and horseshoes
And enjoy the hammock for those treasured holiday naps under the trees! Personally I love the side deck where I can chat the afternoon away.
Share laughter and stories around the campfire at night

NOTE: Approx. 80 stairs to the beach - and there is loads of beach here! 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.

EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD
The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it's easy to experience each day to its fullest.

Clan Gregor Square is the heart of our quaint community where many local festivals/carshows and you won't want to miss the farmers market in season. Pioneer Park is another local favorite—kids will love cooling down at the splash pad. There's always something happening here, whether it's morning yoga or artists painting the sunset.

You're just 2 minutes from the Bluewater Golf Club. We're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, including Hessenland Inn & Schatz Winery and Bad Apple Brewing Co. With wooded trails, scenic country vistas and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season.

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.

Cozy cottage on Lake Huron

We had a lovely time here. Cottage was comfortable and nicely appointed. Our granddaughter loved playing in the sand on the beach and enjoyed having a bonfire in the evenings.

Cozy Bayfield Cottage

Cute little place with a huge yard, great beach and sunsets to remember. Close enough to check out Bayfield and also a Play at Huron County Playhouse. Best part, we could bring our dog to enjoy with us!

Review of lakefront haven

Property and location were great. Beach was nice, with fire pit, chairs and kayak + standup paddle board. You will need water shoes as bottom is rocky and slippery. Waterfront was surprisingly warm (early August). 100+ plus steps down to the beach , good exercise but not for everyone. Bayfield is a very nice town with lots of shops and restaurants. Cottage was small but clean and well equipped.

Making Memories at Lakefront Haven

We loved our stay at Lakefront Haven. A comfortable cottage with a wonderful location. We are two families with small children so it was so nice to have such a large yard and our own semi-private beach for the week (bring water shoes as it is rocky in the water). The cottage was well-stocked and communication leading up to our stay was helpful. We really appreciated and got good use of the yard games in the storage shed. Beautiful, large outdoor space and stunning Lake Huron sunsets are the big sellers of this cottage in my opinion. We would absolutely return!

Quiet getaway

The cottage was charming and quaint. It was clean and outditted well. We had a wonderful short trip. The lake was rocky, but perfectly cool to combat the heat! We enjoyed it immensly. If there was a con it was the well water! I wasnt ready for that! Bring yourselves leave your stress behind. The stairs down to the lake are not steep, though there are many... but, the lake was worth it. No mosquitoes. Perfection..

Wonderful holiday, and more special as our dog came with us. All of us had a great week.

It was a great cottage and location for rest and relaxation. Interaction with our host was great in advance, and during our stay. It was the best experience I have ever had with a cottage rental, and the personalized treat waiting for our dog was a perfect start to our trip.
