EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it's easy to experience each day to its fullest.
Wander downtown and find your new favourite cafe, and be sure to save a day to explore Bayfield's wineries and breweries! Just a few minutes away, you can enjoy an amazing wine tasting experience at Hessenland Inn & Schatz Winery.
With wooded trails, scenic country vistas, and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season. Bring your hiking boots and plan a trip during leaf-peeping season for a display of color, or come enjoy the quiet of winter and crunch through the snow in evergreen forests.
Bayfield is a "Blue Community" – visitors won't find bottled water in public facilities or at events but they will find a portable refillable water bottle station operated by pedal-power and five water bottle refill stations at public facilities located throughout the village.
ABOUT YOUR HOST I'm Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.

A super place to stay in the beautiful town of Bayfield. Our stay went perfectly - host was fantastic - and only a hop and skip to the beach. It could not have been better.

Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review of Sunny Gardens! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the spacious, clean, and quiet home, along with its proximity to the lake. It's great that the enormous backyard provided ample space to relax and enjoy the outdoors, with options for both shade and sun. We appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to have been a part of making your Bayfield visit wonderful.
We needed a place within 30 minutes of an out of town wedding venue. This location was perfect. Lots of bedrooms and two full bathrooms to help 5 people get ready in time. Lots more to do in Bayfield but we just didn’t have time. Nice quiet neighbourhood close to views of Lake Huron

Thank you for your 5-star review of Sunny Gardens. I agree-the cottage is in such a great location! Hope to have you stay with us again so you can enjoy beautiful Village of Bayfield.
Sunny Gardens provided a clean, quiet and well equipped vacation spot. The backyard area was beautifully landscaped with trees and flowers.
It was located a short from the restaurants and shops and the grocery was nearby as well.
The only negatives were a few maintenance issues. There were light bulbs burnt out and the dishwasher did not work. Mirrors in the bedrooms would be appreciated.

A cozy place to stay!
On arrival we found a welcome package including a Smores kit, coffee to get our week started, and even a treat for our pup! The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the house clean and cozy. The presence of the dishwasher made after-meal clean-up a breeze. Improvements to the property are clearly being made all the time, as evidenced by the expansive deck where we enjoyed morning coffee when weather allowed.
The property is within easy driving distance of many enjoyable experiences. While we stayed there we took in the historic Goderich gaol for some local history, played mini-golf, visited the beaches, enjoyed a tasting at Schatz Winery, and shopped in town. The selection of local restaurants provided a variety of fares from fine to affordable. Our contact got back to us almost immediately on all the questions we had.
One of our favourite aspects of the property was the intimate firepit area under the protection of large shade trees - such a wonderful place to kick back with a glass of wine and chat with friends at the end of a long day.
We would love to return in the future!

A perfect stay again
The house has everything you need for a relaxing vacation, and a beautiful large garden and deck. The house is in walking distance of the lake, and in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood. I would highly recommend this place as great way to get away from it all and unwind. Being pet friendly is also a plus.

Best Summer Getaway
Sunny Gardens is a wonderful place, very homey and Jennifer has made our stay very warm and welcoming. The backyard is so gorgeous, we could not stop taking pictures. I just wanted my family to experience Grand Bend Beach, but instead we discovered more of Bayfield. It is absolutely beautiful. Hopefully we will be coming back next year!

Spacious Cottage With Big Backyard!
We had a great stay in the sunny gardens cottage! Great sized cottage which can definitely handle more then my wife, two children and myself. Backyard is private and very large so we could play soccer and the kids could run around. It was only a short walk down to the beach which was very convenient. We also enjoyed the splash pad and park in Bayfield. We brought our bikes so it was only a short ride up to the park and business section of town!
We had a great time and would recommend staying at the sunny gardens cottage to anyone!!
Thanks again!

Our family had a wonderful stay
We really enjoyed this lovely, very clean property. The pictures online didn't quite do it justice. The backyard is very spacious and we enjoyed eating outside on the deck.The kitchen cupboards are well stocked, the fridge is a good size and the dishwasher is pretty quiet and works great. Having 2 full bathrooms was very helpful as there were six of us staying at this property. Jennifer kept in touch with us to make sure we had everything we needed which was so appreciated.
We really enjoyed our week in Sunny Gardens. The charming bungalow is well-equipped with everything you could need -- a full eat-in kitchen, comfy living room with a great selection of DVDs and puzzles for rainy days, a huge back deck and glorious garden with fire pit surrounded by Muskoka chairs. We loved having meals watching the birds, chipmunks and squirrels. The house is a super-easy walk to the lake, and about 15 minutes on foot to Bayfield's historic main street and Pioneer Park. We found lots to do in the area including nature trails, bike trails, cable wakeboarding at Windmill Lake, shopping, and exploring Huron County's many charming small towns. Looking forward to our next visit!

A memorable birthday vacay during the pandemic
We, a family of 3, had a much needed break for a week celebrating our daughter’s 7th at the Sunny Gardens cottage. They have a beautiful backyard which provided the perfect setup to put up some birthday decor and have a zoom party. The cottage was well equipped with all modern day comforts (A/C, wifi) and close enough to good beaches to have a great time. We felt very comfortable even before getting there due to Jennifer’s prompt communication and the due diligence done before renting the property out. We would love to come by again sometime soon.
