Enjoyable stay on Hope Bay

Nice quiet location, close to attractions/amenities. The bedrooms and bathrooms were recently updated. The living room and kitchen were in need of an update/repairs, though. Property was fairly clean and tidy. There were a few items missing that would have improved our stay: towel bars in bathrooms, dressers or somewhere to store clothes, outdoor furniture (deck and fire pit but no chairs), also no stopper for the kitchen sink and limited supply of drinking glasses. We really enjoyed sitting by the water in the evenings. Overall we enjoyed our stay and really liked the area

Rustic cottage from the outside, but, the inside is updated and comfortable. Great for access to Bruce trail and other hiking trails.

Great for Hiking the Bruce Trail

This was our second stay here as the location is perfect and the beds are so comfortable which is important after a long day of hiking. I cannot say enough good things about Matt, the property manager, so polite and attentive. If you are hiking this is the place you want, it has everything you need and isn't far off of main roads for getting around. This will definitely be our first choice if we are back in this area.

Fiddling around

The house was ideal for our music teachers to relax after a day of teaching fiddle and guitar at Cape Croker. enjoyed the waterfront and walks on the road and the Bruce Trail. Property needs - towel racks in the bathroom, recycle bins, drinking glasses, access to closets or hooks for hanging clothes, dressers and bedside tables, faster internet.

Excellent location

We were up to hike the Bruce Trail and the location could not have been better. This would also be a great summer location with young children, beautiful beach area. Beds were so comfortable, loved having 2 bathrooms and questions were answered immediately. Matt was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend
