Experience the Lake House Effect! STA# NBP-2022-193 Welcome to our cottage nestled on the shore of Long Bay inlet on Lake Huron in Tobermory. We are directly on the waterfront of this calm, shallow bay which is perfect for swimming, canoeing, kayaking and sunbathing. Children will love the calm water here as it is quite shallow (and warmer than the deeper areas!). Relax by the fire pit and watch the sunset over the trees. Experience breathtaking views of the lake from our wrap-around deck as well as from inside the cottage. We have ensured there are plenty of places to bask in the beauty of the scenery from the cottage, inside and out. Our cottage was built in 2017 and it is equipped with all of the modern amenities you may need to ensure your vacation time is stress free. There is a washer, dryer, microwave, dishwasher, full sized fridge and stove. The kitchen is bright and airy with an island that seats 4. There is also a full sized table that seats 6 with a lovely view of the water while you enjoy your meals with family and friends. The main sitting area has a cathedral ceiling, gas fireplace and a 50 inch flat screen smart TV with a Netflix account for you to enjoy. We also have unlimited internet and wireless access. Wall to wall windows along the front of the cottage ensure you don't miss out on the view. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. An ensuite is attached to the master bedroom which has a queen sized bed and a large walk-in closet. The second bedroom also has a queen sized bed and closet. The third bedroom has two twin beds and a closet. All of the mattresses are protected with a mattress cover.
The town of Tobermory is only a 10 minute drive away. Some of the best hiking in the world is 22 minutes away at the Bruce Peninsula National Park. The grotto at Cyprus Lake is a must see. We are also a short drive to Singing Sands beach which is a perfect spot for families with young children.
The cottage is available for weekly, midweek and weekend rental in the months of October and November. During the spring and peak season we are booking weekly only (see rates for further details).
Maximum Number of people: 4 adults, or up to 6 people if at least 2 are children (under age 16).
Dogs (only) may be permitted, but must be cleared with owners in advance.
There is no smoking permitted in the cottage.
Linens and towels are not supplied.
Guests are responsible to leave the cottage clean, ready for the next guests, at the end of the rental period (cleaning supplies will be provided) and to place garbage and recycling in their respective bins at the end of the driveway.
Due to COVID-19 we are also taking extra efforts to sanitize surfaces between guests. We ask that you respect the 11 am check-out to allow adequate time for this before the next guests.
Waterfront description: shallow entry, rocky bottom. Swim shoes recommended. Excellent fishing opportunities!
If you are looking for deep water swimming or prefer a gradual entry with sandy bottom, both are available within a 10-15 minute drive of the cottage.
**The cottage rents to families and mature groups of adults only.**

| A great place to stay, right on the water, kayaks, and very close to the many attractions that Tobermory has to offer. Like another reviewer, we enjoyed the butter tarts from Little Cove Bakery. Kris was always very responsive, and very helpful with suggestions and ideas for our visit. From age 5 to age 75, this cottage was very well enjoyed. Highly recommend!

| Beautiful and very clean cottage with incredible views! We loved our stay at the cottage and enjoyed our coffee in the morning over looking the water on the deck. The sunsets were amazing! The deck was perfect and safe for our little one with the gates! The area is great for walks, the water is perfect for enjoying a kayak. We loved the butter tarts from the near by Little Cove Bakery. The Grotto and Singing Sands beach nearby are also must sees! We can't wait to come back!

| Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! There are no words to describe other then to see for yourself. The water was beautiful and so calming. The sunsets and sky were remarkable. The cottage itself was incredible with everything you can think of was included. We spent most our time on the deck where the calm winds and sun hit our skin. It only rained Wednesday night, the rest of the time it was beautiful and sunny throughout the day. Kris was amazing at answering all my questions and very accommodating. Best trip so far! Would definitely recommend this cottage to everyone. It's a great place and couldn't ask for a better vacation.

| Can't say enough good things about this cottage and the host Kris. Cottage is a good as the pics indicate and very clean. Modern touches in kitchen, washrooms, comfortable couches and mattresses, lots of light and ventilation. Wifi is strong enough to for a few of us to be logged on working and others on their iPads. Wraparound deck affords great views and sitting options. Neighbors and the bay are quiet. Water is incredibly clear; a bit rocky to get in, but great for wading and swimming. It's located perfectly between Tobermory and some of the touristy sights (Grotto, Singing Sands beach, etc).
Kris is very responsive to any queries and had some helpful insights for things to do and times to go into town.
There are many places to see; we did a tour with Tobermory Wave Adventures and enjoyed seeing the area from the water and the historical and geographical information from the crew.
We would have already rented it again next year, but someone already has the time were looking for; but we'll keep watching.
