Beautiful

This home is bright and lovely. The property is very private and right on the water. I was able to bring my dog, who loved swimming off the dock. At night we went outside to stargaze. We could see the Milky Way and thousands of stars thanks to the lack of light interference . This home was an easy drive to Tobermory and the other areas we wanted to see. I would highly recommend this great place.

Perfect place to slow down.

We enjoyed sitting on the dock in the mornings and evenings sipping our hot beverages, watching the loons, drinking in the beauty of the bay and listening to the waves of the lake in the distance. My husband and I made use of the canoe around the bay which was so calm. Did not have any luck catching fish though. This cottage is a great location to get to several day hike locations and going out to eat. We will be back!

Nice property

The place is clean and property is on water and beautiful but very remote with not a lot of options for excursions. Would be nice to have full use of fridge and have room for grocery items, as it felt like we were living in someone’s space. If you’re looking to maximize your time, be aware of tight checkin and out times. Kathy is responsive.

Thank you for the great review! We're happy that you found our family cottage clean and beautiful! Thank you for your care and respect while staying there with your family! We were are also happy that we were able to offer you an early check-in immediately upon your request. To clarify our refrigerator situation for future guests, we have two standard sized refrigerators. In one we keep condiments only. There's no perishable foods. Our condiments take up very little space. In the basement fridge we keep a few cans of beverages. Again these take very little space. Both freezers are empty. There really is lots of room in both refrigerators. It is our cottage and we do use it ourselves and are offering it to others to enjoy with their families. We are not simply an investment property. There are countless excursions 20 minutes from our cottage in both the north or south directions. We are known by several guests including countless repeat guests as the perfect location. Our guests hear loons and watch migrating birds, fish right off the dock kayak or canoe. And last but certainly not least, our night skies are exceptional for stargazing. If you want to escape to a nature retreat with all the comforts of home only 20 mins from Tobermory or Lions Head, we are the perfect spot!

Fantastic week at Miller Lake

We had a wonderful time exploring and hiking in the area. We specifically picked this cottage because of the property and beach access. The water level was very low but that also made the water warm. Make sure you bring water shoes as the lake has a loose mud bottom. The cottage was great and met our needs. Having coffee on the back deck was a lovely way to start the day. The bed situation was not ideal for us as we had one adult sleeping in a bunk bed but we knew that going in that would be the only reason we would think twice about staying there again Highly recommend this property

Quiet and peaceful

We wanted a quiet and peaceful getaway and we got exactly that. Kathy was very attentive to us and responded to our requests in a timely manner. The cottage was a well equipped and relaxing. We had nice warm fires and plenty of boardgames to played with the family when wanting to do nothing but chill out. We had wonderful times just out on the large dock staring at the sunrise, sunset, and stars on clear nights. The cottage also served as a perfect starting point for numerous hikes on the Bruce Peninsula - from a nice afternoon in Tobermory to exploring the Grotto as well as hiking the Lionhead portion of the Bruce trail. Would definitely go back.

Miller Lake

This cottage had an amazing property, the landscape surrounding was absolutely breathtaking. With a large yard for lots of games, a long dock to see the beautiful lake and even a beach area for the kids to play in the same and walk into the water! We went during a very warm week, and there is no A/C so evenings were very hot and some evenings it rained so the whole cottage was very humid and held a lot of moisture. So sleeps were not that great, but everything else was amazing !!

Tobermory cottage

The lake location is perfect. However, some aspects of the property were a little “tired” and in need of repair, example the dock, screen doors, room fans. There was also little room to store food as the owners own food is stored in the kitchen and wetbar.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Aug 2020
Thanks for your comments. During your stay you were the first to enjoy the brand new dock sitting area. The sides of the dock are in the process of restoration. The main patio screen was also brand new as is the lake screen. All fans in working order. We do leave some condiments in the food which most guests appreciate if they run out of anything. I'm a little puzzled by your comments but in any event thank you again. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

The location is excellent, owner responded immediately to every query and need, and was super helpful. The house and property are very kid-friendly, which was great. Likewise the little beach and the shallow water. The canoe and kayaks were just what we wanted. It was great to have some decent knives in th kitchen too. Thank you!
