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.
Cheyenne, 2-night trip

Pat is a wonderful host . The cabins have a rustic charm. The beach area is beautiful and the two islands Mackay and French island are gems. Lovely area.
Tabetha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What an amazing and unique spot. Extremely hospitable hosts with everything you need for a good time at the cottage is right at your finger tips. Enjoyed sitting in the beach having a fire under the stars after exploring the numerous trails and beaches on the property. Highly recommended, would stay here again in a heart beat.
Jesse, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Jenna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!!

Magical rustic cottage on a gorgeous beach! Not fancy but very charming and clean. The wood stove heating the cottage nicely. Pat was so friendly and helpful.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

This property is a rustic cabin right on the lake. There are lights, water, power so you are not really roughing it. But wood stove for heat so make sure you have something to light stove if you need it. Has canoes, kayaks to use free of charge of you want.
VALERIE, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very quaint cottage with beach front. All amenities provided. Wish that there was less cobwebs with insects within the cottage. And a longer pair of tongs to cook on the charcoal BBQ.
Marilyn Loh, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved it. Have already rebooked another stay for this fall. Proprieters were very kind, rates are very reasonable, and the views are spectacular. Wifi hot spot really easy to access vis your smartphone. Firewood for woodstove and fire pit was free and plentiful, kitchens and washroom well-equipped. Beds were a little hard for our bodies, and it was a little chilly in the mornings (cottages are not insulated), but it's a cottage in the woods, so you have to accept that going into this. We loved it.
Lee, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very bad experience.

The cottage is poorly maintained. The roof had leaks in the bathroom (it rained pretty bad). Door was barely closing and mosquitos were all over. I don't think the cottage was cleaned. Dirty floors, coffee machine with an old coffee bag... with mold. The view is great but the experience is not worth it.
