Westerly view of Lake Huron (Hardwick Cove) provides for gorgeous sunset views! Waterfront 3BR cottage to accomodate up to 8 people. The unique elevation of the cottage allows for great lake and sunset views from the front porch. The flat rock shoreline is also a great place to appreciate the tranquility of the lake. At night, look up and gaze at the unbelievable star show or relax by a campfire on the shore. Swim either at our rock shoreline (water shoes recommended) or a short walk down the road at a sandy, very shallow beach area. Conveniently located half-way between Tobermory and Wiarton, Serenity provides for easy access to all of the sights which are located on the Bruce Peninsula. A general store is located in Stokes Bay, while a full grocery store and LCBO liquor and beer store are located in Lions Head, 10 minutes away. Lions Head also has a small hospital, while a larger hospital is located in Wiarton, which is a 25 minute drive. Our 3 bedroom cottage, which comfortably accommodates 8, has a rustic pine interior, with area rugs over either pine or laminate floors. The living room is furnished with two sofas, coffee and end tables and a TV with BluRay player and Netflix access. (Please note the TV is only for use with the DVD and Netflix - there are no TV channels available.) Internet access with WIFI is also provided. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven and kettle. Basic dishes and utensils are provided for your use during your stay. The dining area consists of a large pine dining table, surrounded by built-in padded benches, and can easily seat 8.
Two of the bedrooms have queen size beds, while the third bedroom has a queen size bed and a double bed. A dresser and/or closet is provided in each bedroom. The bathroom consists of a shower, toilet and sink, with some vanity and medicine cabinet space to store your personal effects. Please note that bed linens and towels are not provided.
The water supply to our cottage comes from a well. The well water contains sulphur and iron, which while safe to drink, does cause the water to contain an odour and colour. We have provided a water cooler which you can use to mount a water jug and to dispense refreshing cold water for drinking.
Our cottage also has a propane forced-air furnace, which may come in handy on those cool spring or fall mornings.
On the front deck you will find a propane BBQ for your use, as well as some Adirondack chairs. A patio set is also provided for outside dining purposes. To reach the shoreline, proceed down the rock staircase and cross the gravel road. At the rock shoreline, surrounding the firepit, you will find a small table and two chairs, as well as some rock benches. You may wish to bring some extra lawn chairs for use either at our shoreline, or at the sandy beach down the road.

| 5 of us called Serenity home for a week in August, and it absolutely felt like home. All the information provided by Ken prior to our stay was well prepared and detailed. Once at the cottage, everything was exactly as advertised, and we quickly settled in. The welcome bag was also a nice touch, with maps, and suggestions for things to do in the area. Our teens appreciated the bluetooth speaker, and the wifi. It was also a great location for us to set off on day trips to Flower Pot Island, and the Grotto, as well as some of the trails around Lion's Head. The Lou's (Cindy for Ice Cream in Lion's Head & Miss for the fries) were tasty spots less than 10min away. The sunsets were a great end to each of our days too.

| First off, the information provided by Ken about the cottage and surrounding area was gold. We had a wonderful stay at Serenity Cottage. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed, plus there was a bed for everyone! We enjoyed the sunsets from the deck and the kids enjoyed the sandy beach just down the road. Lions head was a short drive for supplies and was close to many day excursions to keep the kids busy.
Also noteworthy, the frog pond was such a cute touch and the kids visited several times a day :) I would definitely recommend this cottage!

| This is a beautiful, clean cottage with loads of room for our family of 5. Close to lots of activities and a beautiful sandy beach is a short walk down the road. We loved it!

| Cottage was a ggod size for a family of five.
We enjoyed rhe location.
The only issue we had was the cottage itself was damp and musty. Smelt of mold. We openes all the window for the week we were there. Didnt seem to help.
Unfortunately we will not return.

Owner response: We're sorry to hear about your experience. It is unfortunate that we only heard about this issue after you had already completed your stay for the week. We do have someone local on hand to look into issues, and quite possibly we could have done something to rectify/assist during your stay. What we have done since your stay is visited the property, made contact with the guest we had the week prior to your arrival, and also made contact with the gentleman that looks after the property between our guests. Both report that these issues were not present just hours prior to your check-in. We actually were fully booked the seven weeks prior to your stay, and had absolutely no similar concerns mentioned to us. We did discover, however, on visiting the property after you left that there was, in fact, a lot of dampness and a musty smell in the rear part of the cottage. We tested humidity levels and found them to be very high. There has been some very wet and humid weather this year on the Bruce Peninsula, including during the week of your stay. Since there were no reports of the problem prior to your arrival, we suspect this built up during your stay, and there was no adequate way to move/vent the air to bring the humidity levels down, as it was humid outside as well. This is not typical on the Bruce Peninsula. The issue has been rectified now inside the cottage and we are looking into ways to provide better airflow should similar weather next year. | |
