10/10 Exceptional

I only stayed for one night on a cross country trip. The cottage was clean and well equipped. The hot water was plentiful. I enjoyed a nice walk and beautiful sunset. I watched the sun rise from the kitchen table the next morning. It was cozy and comfortable. I liked it so much I booked a cottage for my return trip.

This is the best cabin we rented. It had old charm rustic and was right on the water, with lots of activities available (walks, biking, swimming, kayaking). We loved exploring the island and bays. Had nice grilled dinner and marshmallows on the fire. We highly recommend this resort!

Very clean for being rustic. Our cottage 5 was right on the water which was so nice. We only stayed for 1 night but wish we had the time to stay for a week. Great price for what you get.

We didn’t have long to stay due to our travel plans, but we wish we had more time to explore! We got a quick kayak and canoe in before dark, which was wonderful after a long day of driving.

Smooth & easy check-in with the charming Pat. Awesome location and value for a beach front property.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Clearly, the best thing going for this property is the location. The island the cottages are on and the adjacent island with the lighthouse are jutting out into beautiful Lake Huron, where it is possible to fish, paddle, swim or sail. There were ducks and geese on the water and I think I saw a family of martens! However, our cottage looked like it was built 60 years ago and never updated, or even cleaned and repaired often. The chair in the living area had a horrible, large stain, and both the chair and the sofa looked unclean and worn. The bathroom sink was clean, but the towels all looked ancient, threadbare and unmatched. There was no lock on the door!

As campers - we enjoyed the primitive cabin feel with some of the kitchen amenities. Amazingly clean given the age and location. Fun to use the boats and explore the island. Unique Stay!

The cottage was a breath of fresh air. Rustic, clean and secluded. Despite the long drive, the cottage welcomed us into total relaxation. We will definitely be returning to paradise.

Loved our stay! We chose this place on our road trip to Georgian bay Ontario on our move from BC and I’m so happy we did! Such a classic rustic style cottage that transports you back to before cottages became modern day houses. The cottage had so many classic cute little touches, a lovely new style picnic table, fire pit and a bbq! Super cute little beach with a dock to swim too and you get to see so many stars at night here such a magical spot! We cannot wait to be back

The property owner was very nice. We stayed in a cottage for one night. The surrounding area was excellent. The lake is step away. Picnic table and BBQ grill around the cottage. Lots parking space surrounded by colourful trees. Long hiking trails on the island. The cottage equipped an electric range. We used it to cook breakfast. This is great place to stay.

Gorgeous spot

An adorable waterfront cottage, a step out to the beach and dock, kayaks and bikes to borrow- and stocked up with firewood. My kids loved the “kids clubhouse” as they named it- toys, books and movies. My whole family loved this spot- a beautiful place, we would come every year if we could.

I love this place! Quiet, peaceful and an amazing place.to just.sit and relax. The cottages are.a home away from home but better! The view of the lake is amazing and at night time the stars are beautiful. Everything you need is there and there is plenty to do. The owners are phenomenal! I highly.recoend this place hands down! Will be back again and again!!

Incredible value! Friendly property managers, a well outfitted and cute cabin, and plenty of activities to do make this a wonderful stay. The best feature is definitely the gorgeous environment and all the ways you can spend time reconnecting with nature and loved ones while still feeling taken care of with comforts of home. Bravo!

Pat was incredibly welcoming and heartwarming, the place is cozy and the view is spectacular. Came in on a rainy day, wish I was able to stay longer it was truly breath taking! I could’ve stayed there for a week or longer. Didn’t want to leave when it was time to go. Absolutely loved my time at Bruce Bay cottage. Hope to see you again!

These cottages and the island are a piece of the history of this area and we were thrilled with our stay. Very rustic and unspoiled - Pat made us feel 100% welcome :) Everything we could want or need was readily available … canoes, bicycles, wood for the outdoor campfire or woodstove in the cottage all included - she even made sure we knew where to find the best view of the sunset! We wanted a rustic, comfy, unspoiled place to stay and this place delivered that experience 100%. We would have loved to stay longer and experience staying at the lighthouse that’s for sure!
