OUTSIDE
BBQ, perfect for cooking up a storm and enjoying a delicious outdoor feast. And where better to dine than at the beautiful outdoor dining table, surrounded by stunning views and fresh air

Take some time to relax and unwind in the cozy outdoor lounge area, where you can kick back and enjoy a good book or simply soak up the beautiful surroundings. Feeling a bit more active? Head to the separate games area, where you'll find a fun-filled Ping Pong table waiting for you in the garage. And when the night grows chilly, gather around the inviting firepit and enjoy the warmth and glow of the flames. And with gorgeous views overlooking the lush fields, this spot offers the perfect blend of activity and relaxation. And perhaps best of all, this outdoor paradise offers the privacy and seclusion you crave, ensuring a peaceful and rejuvenating stay.

Or spend a day at the semi-private beach, just a quick 2-minute walk away. The beach here is fabulous!!! The access is a 2 minute walk away. Looks like someone's driveway but it's actually to the left.

NOTE: Approx. 60 stairs to the Lake. 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/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.

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.

Visit during the off-season to catch favorite annual events like VetteFest or for a girl's getaway weekend—we're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, shops, and yoga classes.

With wooded trails, scenic country vistas, and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season. Bring your hiking boots and plan a trip during leaf-peeping season for a display of color, or come enjoy the quiet of winter and crunch through the snow in evergreen forests.

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.

Danceland Cottage
The cottage is located in a friendly community. Access to the semi- private beach was fantastic, and literally takes a few minutes to walk there. The cottage was very clean, spacious and fully stocked with kitchen items. I highly recommend this location for get aways!

Lakeside Retreat
Lakeside Retreat is a spacious, well appointed place to relax and enjoy the proximity to the lake and the comforts this country home provides. Access and departure was handled easily and professionally. I hope to return sometime down the road.

Great Lakehouse getaway
From the moment we arrived until we left it felt like home. A nice quiet area and friendly community. A bit of a walk to the beach but the weather was fantastic and a little stroll never hurt anyone. Everything was in the home as was discussed during the planning of the week, so no surprises. Be sure to know we will check #Cottagestays first the next time we plan a getaway, and our friends will be getting a recommendation of your properties.
