Escape to nature at this private country retreat, where you can hear the birds chirping by day and stargaze at night. Stay connected with WiFi, relax in the flower garden or gather around the firepit for a cozy BBQ. For adventure-seekers, enjoy kayaks and bicycles in summer or snowshoes and cross-country skis in winter.
Tucked away in a private country setting, Cardinal Landing is a true four-season retreat—perfect for couples or families looking to relax, recharge, and reconnect with what matters most. Whether you’re soaking in the colours of fall, snowshoeing through winter trails, or enjoying the warmth of a summer evening campfire, this peaceful getaway invites you to slow down and savour the moment.
Wake up to birdsong, spend your days exploring, end your nights stargazing under clear skies, curled up beside a cozy campfire, and enjoying the barrel sauna and cold plunge.
Inside, you’ll find modern comforts and thoughtful touches, including Wi-Fi, onsite parking, and luxury essentials like plush towels, soaps, shampoos, laundry detergent, and fresh linens. The newly renovated cottage features an open-concept layout, new appliances, stylish furniture, and cozy sleeping for six. The master bedroom offers a queen bed and a private deck nestled in the cedars, along with a quiet, well-lit workspace. The second bedroom includes a full-size bunk bed and its own smart TV.
The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to feel at home—dishes, bowls, cutlery, utensils, cookware, and more—making it easy to enjoy home-cooked meals during your stay.
Step outside and enjoy: • A private sauna and cold plunge—a refreshing wellness ritual in any season • A firepit for evening campfires and storytelling under the stars • Three outdoor decks: a bistro set overlooking the flower garden, a cedar-shrouded deck off the master, and a spacious back deck for lounging • A Weber BBQ for easy outdoor meals • A hammock and badminton set for summer fun • Seasonal adventure gear, including kayaks and bikes in summer, and snowshoes, toboggans, and cross-country skis in winter • A full laundry area for convenience • Dog-friendly accommodations—because your four-legged family member deserves a getaway too!
In every season, the surrounding landscape offers something special. Fall brings vibrant foliage and crisp, scenic walks, while winter transforms the area into a cozy snow-covered haven for outdoor play, wellness escapes, and fireside relaxation.
You’re just 10 minutes from the lakeside towns of Southampton and Sauble Beach, with charming restaurants, shops, ice cream spots, and sandy or snow-covered shorelines to explore year-round.
Whether you’re craving solitude, family connection, or a seasonal retreat, Cardinal Landing is your home away from home.
We look forward to welcoming you.

We had enjoyed our stay and able to relax being away from the city.The location is quite, and it was close to the beach.We were looking forward to visit again.
We enjoyed being able to stay comfortably and have some private space each day to relax and unwind. Property was in good condition and we were able to let our pup enjoy as well
Property was great and Christine was super communicative and hospitable. We used the cottage as a place to stay while working nearby and provided all the amenities we needed.
Thanks for having us!
This cottage is in a great location, away from busy streets, but still a very short drive to Southampton and Port Elgin. The cottage is kept very clean and has new appliances and furniture. Additionally, the host is very kind and responded to any questions and concerns promptly. I would highly recommend a stay here!
the house was perfect for our golf event stay nearby. the house was clean and comfortable and modernized. Owners are working on the exterior amenities to make it even better. highly recommend if you want a quiet and comfortable place near the sunset shore of Lake Huron.
The place was so clean and the host was so easy to reach. She answered all our questions and supported us before and throughout our stay. The place is very well equipped with everything a family needs to have a great stay. A 10 minute drive from sauble beach, games in the backyard, grill and a nice seating outside. Would definitely love to go again.
Was a lovely experience from start to finish. Host was quick to reply and extremely helpful and accommodating. House was lovely and clean. Property had lots of supplies. Had a great time!
If not for the location, you’d think you were in a modern condo or luxe hotel in the city.
Renovated cottage with all the amenities and appliances you’ll need.
Very good wifi and TVs in all rooms.
Board games and badminton and corn hole for the kids or the kids at heart.
The owners are pet lovers and left treats and water bowls for our dogs. Thanks Christine.
We spent the labour day weekend and had an enjoyable stay.
Highly recommended.
All aspects of this property were nice and clean. It's fully equipped with everything that a traveler needs. The owners respond quickly to our messages. They thought about everything. They really make our experience as smooth as can be. They made our stay enjoyable by putting special care on details. We appreciated that the location of the property was nearby Sauble Beach (only about 10 minutes drive). The landscape and the setting of the property make it a lovely peaceful place. We strongly recommend it.
We enjoyed our stay a this beautiful cottage. It was peaceful, relaxing and tranquil. We hope to make this an annual vacation destination for our family summer vacation.
We had a wonderful stay! Very comfortable, big, clean kitchen, comfy bed.Very dog friendly, even providing paw towels for paw wipes, nice touches.We really enjoyed the sauna and relaxing by the fire pit, and the wine :)We’ll be back.

The cottage was extremely well equipped and super clean. We found the kitchen well stocked with all the basics, bathroom with lots of towels, and everything we needed.
The backyard is beautiful, snuggled in a quiet area, while Southampton is only a 10 min drive away.
Great quiet getaway to recharge. Great fire pit at the back of the proper where it’s so quiet. The sauna was ok but I only used it once. The inside of the cottage is well maintained.Walked a few trails with my dog (snowmobile use as well) couple times a days. Would have to have stayed longer.
Our family enjoyed a wonderful cottage holiday at Cardinal Landing!!! The hosts made us feel like family with so many personal touches. We didn’t take our dogs, but dogs are most welcome. Bowls and toys provided!!! This is a gem
