This photograph, more than any other on our website, is the one that attracts guests to our Bed & Breakfast. They can see themselves sitting on these chairs enjoying the sound of the waves, the feel of the warm sun, and the smell of the Lake freshened air. The Lake Huron shoreline is mainly smooth flat rock created by an ancient coral sea. The warm waters are excellent for all kinds of water sports. Terraced gardens, coniferous trees and a quiet pond provide a colorful habitat for the many varieties of butterflies and song birds. The southwest exposure and temperate climate provide an excellent opportunity for our extensive perennial beds to thrive and flourish.
Our spacious (3,000 sq. ft.) two storey home with R2000 equivalent insulation, high efficiency propane furnace, heat recovery unit and extensive water treatment system, although not originally built as a bed & breakfast, has adapted well. The well-treed property with 100 feet on the lake and approx. 290 feet deep, is located on a year round road. The parking areas accommodate 6 vehicles. A garden shed, water system from the lake, drilled well, septic systm and satellite television are some of the facilities on the property.

The open-concept living area, overlooking the lake on the upper level, features vaulted ceiling, large windows, red pine floors and ceramic tile in the kitchen. A spacious master suite, also facing the lake, includes a 3 pc. ensuite bath and two large closets. On the lake level, a large common room with gas parlor stove and TV offer our guests a quiet comfortable place to relax.

Many guests, however, choose to spend their time out-of-doors. The two levels of covered porches provide a variety of choices for our guests enjoyment.


Our bed & breakfast consists of 4 guest rooms, a maximum capacity of 9 guests, with two guest baths. Two rooms on the upper level share a large 5 pc. guest bath. Two rooms (one with a lake view) on the lake level share a 3 pc. bath. We have been operating since 1996. In the 2001 season, we registered 574 guest nights between April 15th and November 15th. Our 2002 rates will be between $80.00 and $100.00 per night, double occupancy. Our rates include a full breakfast and evening tea or coffee. We require a minimum 2 night stay - 3 nights on holiday long weekends. We currently accept Visa. A credit card number or a deposit is required to confirm all reservations. Our cancellation policy is 14 days minimum. Our website has been on line for three years and during that time over 98% of our guests have found us via the net. More details are available to qualified purchasers. The property is not listed with real estate at present. Contact the owners directly.
This is an exceptional property, and a thriving business at a very reasonable investment. Its location on the Bruce Peninsula offers the traveler an opportunity to visit two National Parks, experience hiking, kayaking, scuba diving, sailing, fine dining, great shopping, and the beautiful natural scenery of the Niagara Escarpment overlooking the clear, deep blue waters of Georgian Bay. Unlike the Muskokas, this area has remained uncrowded and peaceful, with quaint villages and secluded beaches. It provides a quiet, relaxed life style for all who visit and for those of us lucky enough to live here.
