Treat yourself to a stay in a chic and private open concept cottage perched like a treehouse overlooking the azure waters of Lake Huron. This home comfortably sleeps 6 people and has a relaxed California beach vibe, which is ideal for enjoying the world famous sunsets from the large deck or the beach. There are 100 stairs from the driveway level to the beach and the cottage is exactly halfway down the bluff. Located midway between Bayfield and Goderich, and each town has it's own unique charm and attractions. If you tire of BBQing, there are decent restaurants nearby, and lots of takeout.There are several good hiking trails in the area and we have found the road biking excellent. The beach is undeveloped and quite private and you can walk quite far in each direction. Use of 2 paddle boards and a kayak included. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. Large deck with sectional sofas and 6 person dining table affords gorgeous western views and you can fall asleep to the sound of lapping waves. One of the best features is the outdoor shower (with hot water) for those post-swim rinses under the moonlight. The lake breezes and 5 ceiling fans will keep you comfortable at night and we have never needed the AC. A gas fireplace takes care of any unseasonal chills in cooler months. Decent wifi allows streaming if you bring your own device or just enjoy our carefully curated selection of cheesy 90's DVD's. For music, connect your phone to the stereo or try the CD mixes already loaded. Duvets, blankets, hand and kitchen towels are provided.
Please bring your own bed linens (1 Queen, 2 Singles side by side, and a bunk with lower Double and upper Single) and bath and beach towels.
Perfect for a family, grandparents, couples, women's getaway, etc.
This is the first year we have decided to rent out our cottage, but it has been used and enjoyed by family and friends for years, and we have tried to incorporate their feedback to further improve the experience. We welcome your comments as well.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE
1. Not suitable for people with mobility or health issues due to location halfway between road level and beach and total of 100 stairs.
2. Not suitable for small children due to absence of lawn play area.
3. Beach conditions vary with season and recent storms. Mostly pebbly, occasionally sandy, definitely bring water shoes. Unlike cottages on small lakes, there are no docks, decks or piers visible, so it feels quite unspoiled. Since you can't see the other side (Michigan peninsula) it's more like being on the ocean. There is a ravine a few hundred feet south which locals who are not on the water use to access the beach, but it's not advertised so it feels quite private when you're on the beach. Typically the only people we encounter are the occasional walkers, or a neighbour. One can walk for about an hour in either direction (north and south, since we face west directly) for exercise, dog walking, rock collecting, etc.
4. The water comes from a well and we have drank it for years without any problems but we recommend bringing your own drinking water. Sulphur and iron filters were installed in October 2022 and are working well.
5. Our property consists of 2 homes, the principal cottage we use which is at the driveway level and this rental cottage halfway down the bluff. While the rental cottage is quite private, we will encounter each other when we use the stairs to go to the beach or you need to use your car. We are usually there on weekends and rarely on weekdays.
6. Because the driveway is shared, maximum of 2 vehicles per rental group.
7. Primary renter has to be over 25 years, and maximum of 6 people please with no outside guests. This is a quiet family oriented area so no loud parties or events please.
8. Strictly non-smoking.
9. Fires permitted on beach only, and only if allowed by Ministry notifications; please follow all safety guidelines.

Note: Located on Lake Huron almost exactly midway between Bayfield and Goderich, less than 3 h. from most of the GTA and about 2 h. from Burlington/Hamilton. There are several good driving routes on quiet country roads which are the same speed as Hwy.8, but you don't have to go through the towns (unless you want to), and unlike travel to Muskoka/Haliburton areas, traffic is a non-issue, even on long weekends.

| This is an absolutely beautiful spot! The cottage has everything you need, beautifully decorated with a tv and wifi! The beach was fantastic with its private location, chairs, paddle boards and kayaks. Lake Huron sunsets are unmatched! And the outdoor shower and deck/patio area were such a great! Can't wait to go back!

| Beautiful spot. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing time away with stunning views of sunrises and sunsets from the deck. The deck is a wonderful spot to sit and read or simply enjoy the sound and sights of nature and the water. The beach is very quiet and private. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

| The perfect cottage to feel like you're vacationing far from home yet actually close to town, hiking, activities etc. The beach is private and relaxing, and views from the deck are phenomenal. This cottage has everything you need for your time away and the outdoor shower is an excellent luxury. Hosts are beyond friendly and welcoming. Cannot wait to go back in September with friends!
