About this property

Happy Hideaway, Quiet and Peaceful

Your Happy Hideaway This beautiful 2nd row cottage is located on a quiet street, steps from Lake Huron. With a large front and backyard with a firepit, your family will have lots of options for rest and relaxation. This cottage feels/looks like a cottage but with modern updates and is perfect anytime of year with a furnace, and electric fireplace. It's a great location for relaxation and of course daily walks on the beach. Did you know Lake Huron is a geologist's paradise?

To describe ..... "Calming" That's what I feel when I visit.

Relax in the living area and enjoy the electric fireplace – perfect spot to cozy up to watch a movie on the Smart TV.

SLEEPING SPACES
With 3 bedrooms there's ample room for families and friends. Comfortably sleeping 6 guests.

Premier bedroom offers a Queen sized bed
BR2 Double over Double bunk
BR3 Queen sized bed

EXTRA'S

NOTE: Playpen/Highchair available upon request

OUTSIDE
Lots of areas to sit and read, gossip and laugh. With a large backyard, there is tons of room for lawn games and the kids to run around. And we've got a hammock in a quiet area so you can steal an afternoon nap.

Share BBQ delights on the Propane BBQ complete with bistro lights and a propane heater for chillier nights. Open deck seating area and a covered deck if you want to escape the sun.

After a beautiful day in cottage country, gather around the firepit for storytelling, marshmallow roasting, and stargazing.

The beach here is fabulous!!! The access to the Lake is 2 doors North. (Approx 60 stairs) Looks like someone's driveway but it's actually to the left. 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 4 vehicles

Linens are available for $20/per person. This includes Tea Towels, Dishcloths, Sheets & Pillowcases, Bathroom towels, Hand towels and Face cloths. Does not include Beach Towels.

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/car shows 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.
Wander downtown and find your new favorite cafe, and be sure to save a day to explore Bayfield's wineries and breweries! Just a few minutes away, you can enjoy an amazing wine tasting experience at Hessenland Inn & Schatz Winery.

You're just 5 minutes from White Squirrel Golf Club, perfect for a round on the lush summer greens or a laid-back afternoon at their patio restaurant. Downtown Bayfield is only 5 minutes away—browse the charming boutiques and enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the quaint cafes.

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.

Quiet & beautiful cottage

We felt relaxed from the moment we opened the door - the cottage was exceptionally clean and pleasant music was playing. The cottage was in a perfect location for us - close to Bayfield, Grand Bend & Goderich. We highly recommend this place.

A Study In Thoughtfullnes

A beautiful home right near the stunning sand beach. The amenities, nice shower, yummy hotel bedding, decor and cottage feel with serious touch of warmth and class. Close to Grand Bend and other great small towns. Unforgettable fire on the beach. There was a firepit on the lawn, lawn chairs, hammock, saucer swing and more. Kids would love it but I loved it with a book. Large outdoor dining area with string lights for Magasine worthy outdoor dining. Outdoor shower and wrap around porch. You won't want to leave....

Fantastic Long Weekend

What a fantastic long weekend in a sweet little beach side community! The cottage was great: plenty of room, clean, three bedrooms, two bathrooms electric fireplace, comfy couch, and great shower with good water pressure (not to mention a beach washoff shower outside). Lots of extras and linen service available. Loved the big windows in the living room and especially appreciated having a little floor space to do yoga in front of the fireplace looking out at the trees in the front yard. The beach was perfect. You can walk and walk in either direction with tons of great rocks mixed in with the soft sand. Especially loved the gorgeous beach entry path. Great location close to Bayfield, Grand Bend, and Goderich for day trips, shopping and restaurants. Will come back!

Lovely cottage steps from Lake Huron beach

This property is as advertised, if not better. The hosts are very accommodating and the space offers an example of a relaxing stay. The hosts even left a gift for our dog, which was a great touch! Why travel to the Caribbean when a beach like this is on offer just steps away from the back porch? This cottage is well equipped with everything you’ll need, only personal essentials are required to bring. With plenty of space on offer, our family of 4 plus dog had more than enough room. Our teenagers travelled to the Grand Bend strip on one of our days, which is only 15 mins away, while the parents had some time to soak up the tranquility of the property and the amazing beach. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. If you’re considering renting this property, do it! You won’t be disappointed.
