Tobermory - Lake Huron Waterfront Private Home
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Northern Bruce Peninsula, this attractive cottage for $331 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Booking now for our 2024 season! Reserve early to ensure your dates are available. We look forward to hosting you soon! Northern Bruce Peninsula Short Term Accommodation Class A/B permit #NBP-2021-557 Welcome to our beautifully restored waterfront cottage on scenic Lake Huron. Enjoy a clear view of the crystal blue waters of Warner Bay from the living room, or the huge second story deck. The original cottage was built in the 1970s and we were lucky to purchase it in 2009 from the first owners. In 2018 we make the leap into a full renovation to expand the capacity and make it super family friendly. We tastefully finished the interior with natural wood trim, solid wood doors, and ample natural light. You can relax in the same comfort of a modern home with the upgraded electrical, water filtration system, new plumbing, clean and modern bathrooms, and safety with CO and smoke alarms per modern building codes. This place has the charm of a waterfront cottage, but the peace of mind of a brand new home. On calm days the bay is amazing for canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding and swimming. The shoreline is rocky and does require some attention until you reach the smoother part of the lakebed. It’s shallow for quite a while and the clarity is stunning on calm days. Some type of water shoe or sandal is recommended. Enjoy an open fire by the shore or relax on the deck and listen to the water lapping against the rocks. Tobermory is less than 10 minutes by car and close enough to cycle for those wanting some exercise. *** Occupancy Limits *** Due to the Municipal Short-Term Accommodations (STA) bylaw we are limited to a maximum of 10 guests sleeping at the cottage. This limit further states that the 9th and 10th guests must be children aged 12 years or younger. We have beds for 6 adults and 4 children/youth (bunk beds). Therefore we can have up to 6 adults (18 years or older) + 2 youth (under 18yrs) + 2 children (12yrs or under). We apologize for the complexity of the guest limits, and encourage you to seek more information on the bylaw from the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula. https://www.northbrucepeninsula.ca/develop/short-term-accommodations/ *** Links to local info *** https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/on/bruce https://www.brucecounty.on.ca/communities/tobermory https://explorethebruce.com/towns-to-explore/towns/tobermory/ https://www.tobermory.com/ *** Bruce Peninsula National Park *** Reservations for park visits are required to ensure that when you arrive there is parking available. The Bruce Peninsula National park, the wider peninsula ecosystems, and the town of Tobermory are unique with very constrained spaces, and can be quickly overwhelmed by the number of excited visitors in the summer. We kindly ask that you remain aware of, and respect the local bylaws and restrictions designed to limit the impact to the natural areas. Please make the utmost effort to leave no trace of garbage or recycling, leave any areas you visit as you found them, respect the wildlife, wilderness, and respect locals and other visitors. We can all enjoy the peninsula together and show the locals how grateful we are of their stewardship and hospitality. *** Cleaning and Linens/Towels *** Our cottage is professionally cleaned and disinfected thoroughly between guests. Linens and bath towels can be request for an added laundering fee of $75.00. You will be required to bring bedding and towels for your stay if you do not request linens at the time of your booking. Check-in is always 4pm, check-out is always 11am. Our cleaners need as much time as possible to properly turn over the cottage between guests. Thank you for checking out our rental!! If you have any questions before booking please send us an inquiry and we'll answer ASAP. We hope you will book and have a beautiful stay on the incredible Bruce Peninsula. Cheers!

We spent a very nice weekend in Tobermory. The house was exactly as described and was right on the water. The owners were very responsive leading up to the weekend. We would definitely come back again to stay here.

Lovely property. Very spacious and relaxing. My visiting brother and sister wanted to see Tobermory and the location of the property is a short drive from the places we wanted to see. And most important of all, the owners responded quickly to our questions.

The house was a perfect place to stay to explore the Bruce Peninsula. Loved the view/water access—we enjoyed our coffee on the shore and paddle boarding and canoeing. The house was very clean and was close to Tobermory. It was great having a large grocery store nearby and we love the little bakery down the road.

Everyone in our group liked this cottage. It’s quite and clean. It has excellent view of the lake from the deck. We all loved the large open kitchen and dining room, especially the wooden table, we ate there, played cards there, had really good time. The location is perfect. Just 11 minutes drive to the two national parks, and 12 minutes to the town center of Tobermory. Will definitely recommend to our friends.

Our family of 5 along with visitors from Europe stayed in this beautiful home. It is large enough that everyone has an abundance of space. The beds were very comfortable and the space was very well maintained and clean!! The addition of the ping pong table and dart board were a welcome surprise. With just a few minutes drive to some of Ontarios most beautiful, scenic hikes and waterways this home has it all!! Thank you

We had a fantastic time during our stay at the property! The place is incredibly spacious, cozy, and beautiful. It's conveniently located close to Tobermory's attractions, which made it easy for us to explore the area. We were impressed to find that the property included all the utilities and cutlery that we needed, which added to our comfort. Another plus is that the cottage is dog-friendly, so our furry baby was able to enjoy the trip with us. Thank you for having us.

The property was beautiful and the breeze off the bay was wonderful. The cottage was nice and roomy and had everything we needed for our stay. The Host was awesome and the booking and checking in process was extremely easy to do. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful cottage. It is not a far drive from downtown Tobermory or to the Grotto. Great place for rest and relaxation.

Great spot away from the busy downtown but close enough to enjoy whenever we wanted. Came for the outdoors and hiking which was wonderful! Waterfront and upper deck were great spots to hangout. Dog friendly which was so great (Captain Lee's & Tobermory Brewery dog friendly patios). Very well equipped kitchen and lots of living space. Would stay again. *learned from a local if coming up to do numerous hikes look into Canada Parks pass as parking does get pricey.

Thanks Clinton for your excellent communication prior to our arrival. We had a wonderful time in Tobermory despite a couple of rainy days. The kitchen was well stocked and the cottage was very clean. The waterfront was as depicted in images - it is shallow quite a ways out so good for our children although water shoes are essential. We appreciated the snorkelling equipment that were left for our use. The main floor was a bit warm in the afternoon but had cooled down by night time to make sleep comfortable. The lower floor was always cool and good for an escape from the heat. One thing to note- we did bring our own linens as requested but didn't realize that also meant duvets/blankets, so bring those as well unless that changes in the future.

Very nice property and a great location in a nutshell. More details: we were two families (a family of four with two teens and a family of three with one teen). The place is super convenient for two families -there are two bathrooms, so each family can have their own. Two rooms with twin/bunk beds are great for kids. One is located on a lower level, so one could have noisy teens there or the opposite - if one have smaller kids who require a quieter setting - this lower level bedroom is ideal. Great family room with movies, games and a ping pong table for a rainy day is awesome. Beautiful balcony with patio furniture and BBQ to enjoy the sun and the lake view. Nice outdoor fireplace with wood benches and lake view. The access to the water is shallow, so it is convenient to launch a canoe or paddleboard. The water is very clean. The bottom is rock, so one would require water shoes to go deeper in the water where they could swim. But this is typical for this area. The house is well equipt with everything one would need to feel comfortable during the stay. We were pleasantly surprised to find a greating card and a couple of local beers to welcome us as returning customers. This was so nice of the owner! We definitely recommend the place and we would definitely come back!

Plenty of room for 7. Beautiful new “cottage”. Everything you could wish for. Amazing views. Plenty of games, books, magazines for rainy days. And then there is the ping pong table. My 15 old nephew’s new obsession. Truly a great place for a family getaway. Love the sound of the waves at night.

My family and I had such a wonderful time staying here. Tobermory is absolutely stunning, and this cottage exceeded our expectations. Newly renovated, clean cottage with all the necessary things you need-canoe, life jackets, sticks for roasting marshmallows (we forgot ours and were so happy to find many there), everything you need in the kitchen, badminton and so much more. Beautiful views of the lake from inside with the the big windows. Gorgeous huge firepit. The hosts are very welcoming - I loved the personable welcome card and the guest book. Thank you to the hosts. We can't wait to be back.
