Our Experience at North Paw

Our hosts, Dave and Tim, showed remarkable hospitality. We were greeted with a warm reception upon arrival. Dave graciously prepared a delicious snack for our enjoyment while my husband attended to grocery shopping. This location is notably secluded. The hosts' meticulous attention to detail was readily apparent. At any given moment, the only sounds one could hear were birds chirping and occasional conversation. Our 12-year-old and nine-year-old granddaughters, who accompanied us, delighted in exploring the shallower waters, kayaking, and simply sitting on the rocks, absorbing the natural surroundings. The sunsets were breathtakingly spectacular! I have no hesitation in recommending this place to a couple or a couple and two kids.

Paradise

WOW! We loved everything about North Paw. The apartment is super well equipped and very comfortable. Our mornings started with a long hike along the nearby trails. We really got into kayaking and enjoyed exploring Hay Bay incl. the shipwreck. The sunsets were picture-perfect, and sitting around the fire pit under the starry sky was another highlight, as were the evening visits from sweet Cinder, the resident pooch, to pick up her post-dinner treat. Usually we go out every night for dinner during our holidays but here we just wanted to stay in and soak up the serenity of the paradise Dave and Tim have created with so much attention to detail. We had fantastic weather throughout our stay in early September. Incredible hosts, spectacular place, stunning nature all around… Utter bliss.

Heaven on the Huron!

Our stay at the North Paw was simply perfect! Dave and Tim were absolutely charming and welcoming! The place was spotless clean and the right size for our needs. The North Paw is perfectly located, water is extremely clean and there is lots to do with the kayaks, paddle boards etc. Just close enough to Tobermory, you will enjoy the silence of the lake and the magnificent sunsets!We can only recommend this absolute jewel on the lake! Thanks again Dave & Tim!

Comfortable and well decorated apartment in a beautiful location. Really really beautiful. Kitchen was small - but we anticipated that and didn't plan on cooking there a bunch. Great location. Dave and Tim were great hosts. They had so many things for guests' use like kayaks for all four of us, water shoes, sunscreen, beach towels, etc. We would love to come back!

North Paw is wonderful, serene, perfectly located getaway that you will not want to leave. The hosts Dave and Tim are helpful, friendly, thoughtful and they know all the good spots around the Bruce Peninsula. We saw lots of wildlife, sooo many stars. We enjoyed the bonfires, used the kayaks and appreciated all the amenities provided. The apartment is clean and comfortable, we did not miss anything. Thank you for a wonderful stay

We were absolutely delighted with our choice! The property is in a fantastic location, so close to the water and beautifully quiet, surrounded by nature but with quick access by car to Tobermory. The property is spotless, cozy yet modern and extremely well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the kayaks and sitting beside the fire gazing up at a sky full of stars.
