About this property
Original Oliphant Cottage with Spectacular Sunsets Over Lake Huron
This is an original Oliphant cottage built in 1911. Has been refurbished and made into a 4 season cottage. We are a 2 minute walk to the government docks and marina. There is a boat launch at the marina if you bring a boat or PWC. There is a 10$ fee for launching. We have shallow water with sand to walk out in or swim, kayak, SUP, or canoe out in front of the cottage. You can fish off the government dock. On windy days you can watch or windsurf / kite surf yourself right in front of the cottage. You are located about a 10 minute drive to Sauble Beach. We are an hour drive to the top of the Peninsula to Tobermory and 13 km across the Peninsula to Wiarton on the Georgian Bay. Very central to do whatever outdoor activities you would like or just relax and look over the lake at the cottage.The cottage can sleep up to 6 people as we have a queen bed in the front bedroom and 2 singles in the other bedroom. We also have 2 singles in the living room area that is a day bed/couch and a trundle you can pull out from underneath. There is a bbq for outdoor cooking including the propane and we also include fire wood for your outdoor fires. The kitchen is fully stocked for all your cooking/baking needs and we have a drip coffee maker and a Keurig.We have a limited channel selection on Satellite that has news, weather and music. We do have a ROKU for your use and a disc player and some discs for your use also. You may also enjoy having a campfire at night and no need to grab wood - we have wood for you when you arrive. Pets are not allowed - so sorry but we have experienced damage from pets and had to try to fix the cottage quickly and replace furniture. And also be picking up excrement so that the next renters are not stepping in it. This also allows renters with allergies to know they are safe. The Bruce Peninsula is a dark skies environment so star gazing is amazing here. If luck is on your side you may even see the northern lights. We live next door and have done some construction in our backyard so this year the backyard of the cottage is off limits for fear of injury to guests because of different building materials there. Our apologies for this inconvenience. The cottage and front yard is all yours. Going out right from the Oliphant Docks is a Fish guiding tour with "Fish The Bruce" and boat tours around the Fishing Islands including sunset tours is "Boat The Bruce". You do not even have to drive to get to these tours. A short walk of maybe 2 minutes to the dock or the Captains of the Boat Cruises could pick you up with the golf cart shuttle at the cottage. These can be looked up online and booked there. We also have Stan Up Paddle boards that you can rent for $35 for the day from us. The are Red brand blow up paddle boards and if you want to take them elsewhere they come in a bag for your convenience of transportation.

This family friendly cottage was a delight to stay in. Comfortably furnished with a well equipped kitchen with lots of windows in every room letting in the wonderful breezes off Lake Huron. Hope to return!
We really loved our stay. The cottage is clean, cute and perfect for a family of four. I was particulary fond of the front deck, with the view on Huron lake.
There's a beach at walking distance from the cottage, with shallow and warm waters. Our kids (9 and 7) really enjoyed it. But if you seek more waves and animation, the cottage is at a 12 minute drive to Sauble Beach.
We loved having the upstairs balcony for enjoying our morning coffee, afternoon drinks, and evening sunsets. The kitchen was well-equipped for preparing an evening meal we hosted for our family group of 12. Being able to easily walk to the marina was another plus. This unit was spotless and comfy!
