Dave and Tim both went out of their way to make us feel at home. The property was in beautiful location and in immaculate condition both inside and out. If you are looking for an escape from the trappings of city life to unwind, then this is the place for you.

Lovely place. The hosts were excellent. Accommodations one of the best we have ever had. Kayaking was a main goal and with four to pick from… kayaking heaven. Nice small downtown with restaurant choices plus a grocery store not too far away PLUS a garden to pick tomatoes from!! We had a true vacation.

We had a wonderful stay at North Paw! The property and views are gorgeous; house and grounds are immaculate. Kayaks are an added bonus and there was even a bonfire set up and ready for lighting. Dave and Tim are perfect hosts -- welcoming and helpful while allowing privacy and space for exploring. Definitely recommend!

Dave, Tim and Cinder the dog were great hosts.
Beautiful, quiet, peaceful place to relax in the sun by the water, kayak, read and watch incredible sunsets. They even shared the bounty of their garden and friends fresh eggs with us. Thanks so much, we will be back👍

My wife and I stayed for 7 night in early July 2023. Dave and Tim are wonderful hosts and very kind and thoughtful people and fun to be around. The property is like a nature sanctuary. The garden and landscape additions they have made take advantage of the existing natural beauty and make the whole property feel like a well kept arboretum. Magnificent sun sets and sunrises, peace, tranquility, swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and a 180+ degree view just outside the door. We also Scuba dove several of the outstanding ship wreaks in the Fathom Five Marine Park and enjoyed hiking and biking. Terrific, and highly recommended!

Our stay at North Paw was a positive and relaxing experience. The setting of the property is scenic and beautiful; and the location is close to Tobermory for accessing the harbour tours, shops, hiking trails, and Visitor Centre.
Our hosts Dave and Tim went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home; and were friendly and helpful throughout our stay - including setting us up for kayaking!
Thank you!
We definitely recommend this accommodation to others looking to explore the area.

Everything about our stay was great! From the beautiful location, to Dave and Tim's hospitality, to the care that they put into this cottage, came together to make for a phenomenal vacation. Their property is also well taken care of, with trails to walk around it, and chairs to lounge on. It is clear that Dave and Tim put a lot of work into making this property a lovely place to stay!

Beautiful property with very kind, helpful hosts. We had a wonderful long weekend exploring the peninsula using this as our home base. The heated floors were a nice touch. The bed was extremely comfortable and the futons in the living room were easy to use and above average in terms of comfort. The kitchen supplies were basic but worked to make some simple meals. We appreciated how prepared they were for guests with lots of towels, extra sunscreen, water shoes for kayaking/swimming and local recommendations. We would happily stay again and highly recommend it

This is an incredible property with amazing hosts. The views are spectacular in all directions, amenities outstanding. Took advantage of the kayaks, campfires (made every night by Dave) and the complete tranquility of North Paw. The apartment has everything you need and was very comfortable for a fall getaway. Appreciated the visits with the owner Dave and his friendly dog Cinder. Would highly recommend this property and these hosts. Our stay was perfect. So grateful that Dave and Tim are willing to share their amazing property and home with us.

The place was great and our hosts were fantastic. They made us feel very welcome and at home. They even offered their garden bounty with us. Told us to help ourselves to garden fresh peppers, herbs and tomatoes. The property was closely located to downtown Tobermory and all the boat cruises and park trails. A great location and a really nice property with terrific hosts!

Just got back from another amazing stay at North Paw with Dave, Tim and Cinder. Lots of kayaking, hiking and S'mores. We loved every minute. Can't imagine a more relaxing place. Simply spectacular!

Hosts were great. Even set up a nightly fire for us! Also respectful of our preference not to be around their pooch. Hosts even shared their garden tomatoes. Great communication. Fab location with amazing views, when outside. But inside you can only see it from the bathroom. Kind of a shame in the fall with cooler Temps. Living room should be where bathroom is in my opinion. Water had a funny smell. Only a few bottled water provided. Would prefer not to have to use bottled water to be more green but tap water not doable.

Situated on a peninsula this property offers a breathtaking vista. The home is situated on weathered limestone which serves as an ideal patio for lounging and stepping into the inviting water. Kayaks are available as well to use after enjoying the scenic hikes at the nearby national park. The accommodation is spotless and spacious. Our hosts are most accommodating.

My wife and I have stayed at North Paw three times, and it never disappoints. Property is in an idyllic setting., with beautiful sunsets. A short drive into Tobermory. Dave and Tim are excellent hosts; very accommodating. They have a good knowledge of the area. Unit is always spotlessly clean.

Dawn and sunset over water, clear view of stars at night. Clean and bright spacious accommodations. Kayaks and trails provide opportunities for observation of nature and exercise. We loved the escape from city life. Tim and Dave are considerate hosts. And Cinder is a very well behaved friendly dog.

You can't beat this property or these hosts in the Tobermory area. They are so friendly and very accommodating, you will feel like one of the family for sure. The property itself is very well stocked and has everything you need. It's also situated perfectly so you have private access to the water for swimming or kayaking, it's quiet enough that you can enjoy the nature, but the main town is a really short trip away. We have visited this property multiple times and it never disappoints and that should tell you everything you need to know!

We arrived at the home and found a beautiful garden playing host to monarch butterflies, hummingbirds, and pollinators. We received a warm welcome from Dave and Tim (and of course Cinder, the resident dog and Emmett, the resident cat).
The home is super clean, modern, tastefully decorated and fully equipped with anything you may need. The bed is very comfortable with warm blankets for the cooler evenings. The washroom is quite large. There were plenty of fluffy white towels and supplies.
We most enjoyed the sound of silence. We loved the spectacular sunsets sitting on the Adirondack chairs, bonfires (thanks to Tim for setting that up for us), stargazing and watching shooting stars late into the evening.
Thank-you Dave and Tim for your warm hospitality, your advice on what to see, sharing interesting stories and making our stay very relaxing. We look forward to visiting again soon.

North Paw Paradise
North Paw is secluded and absolutely stunning with water views on 3 sides of the property. The sunsets are magical.
Dave and Tim are the most attentive and personable hosts. Along with their gorgeous pup Cinder and Emmett, their cat, they ensure you have an amazing time. Fire pit ready to go in the evening (this may have been because we were a group of 3 city ladies), all we needed to do is strike the match, the most fluffiest towels, and lots of them, including beach towels. The place is spotless and well equipped. Water shoes, lifejackets and kayaks all supplied. Dave and Tim were always available and quick to respond. They were happy to provide kayak suggestions and maps, along with restaurants to try. They are seriously next level hosts!
It's hard to sum up the experience in words, but do yourself a favour and book this giant slice of paradise surrounded by nature. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to return.

Hosts Dave & Tim were extremely responsive from the get go with a near instantaneous communication containing their “North Paw” recommendations for everything from Hiking trails/beaches to Boat tours to local restaurants/shops in the area. They (inclusive of pets Cinder & Emmett) were extremely welcoming upon arrival and throughout our stay. From a guided tour on Kayak of the nearby shipwreck to a pre-arranged campfire on two of the nights during our stay (we had mentioned in passing that we city folk might need help) - Dave & Tim seemed to effortlessly do things to make our stay a memorable one.The location was as advertised & more (for instance, the towels were incredibly soft & the views from the property, inside and out, were out-of-this-world ! We felt tremendously grateful to have had the opportunity to stay at their property and would go again in a heartbeat.

Dave and Tim are exceptional hosts in every way. They are almost as social as their pets Emmit and Cinder. There is no place like the Bruce Peninsula and and no where as beautiful to stay as North Paw.
