    After a beautiful day in cottage country, gather around the firepit for storytelling, marshmallow roasting, and stargazing.



    The beach here is fabulous!!! The access to the Lake is 2 doors North.(Approx 60 stairs) Looks like someone's driveway but it's actually to the left. The lakebed can be sandy or stoney depending on what the lake gives you that day. But it sure is fun to try to find the ever changing sandbars. Generally you will find sand 3ft out. It's fun to go stone collecting - Lake Huron is a geologists paradise! Just bring some water shoes. The nice thing is, it's not weedy or slimy at all.

    Parking is limited to 4 vehicles



    Linens are provided! We supply all comforters, pillows, bed sheets, kitchen and bath towels—just remember to bring your own beach towels.

    EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD:

    The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it's easy to experience each day to its fullest.



    Clan Gregor Square is the heart of our quaint community where many local festivals/car shows and you won't want to miss the farmers market in season. Pioneer Park is another local favorite—kids will love cooling down at the splash pad. There's always something happening here, whether it's morning yoga or artists painting the sunset.

    Wander downtown and find your new favorite 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.



    You're just 5 minutes from White Squirrel Golf Club, perfect for a round on the lush summer greens or a laid-back afternoon at their patio restaurant. Downtown Bayfield is only 5 minutes away—browse the charming boutiques and enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the quaint cafes.



    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.

Quiet & beautiful cottage

We felt relaxed from the moment we opened the door - the cottage was exceptionally clean and pleasant music was playing. The cottage was in a perfect location for us - close to Bayfield, Grand Bend & Goderich. We highly recommend this place.

Hidden Gem

This cottage was a hidden gem. My husband and I needed a place to stay while our home was being renovated and it was the perfect choice. The cottage is located between Grand Bend and Bayfield and was close to several wineries and breweries. This lovely little cottage was in a private subdivision and was cosy, comfortable and extremely quiet. The cottage was clean and some basic things like toilet paper and salt and pepper were provided, although you do have to pay extra for linens. The beach is just a short walk away. The host was awesome about keeping in touch to ensure that we had everything we need.

A Study In Thoughtfullnes

A beautiful home right near the stunning sand beach. The amenities, nice shower, yummy hotel bedding, decor and cottage feel with serious touch of warmth and class. Close to Grand Bend and other great small towns. Unforgettable fire on the beach. There was a firepit on the lawn, lawn chairs, hammock, saucer swing and more. Kids would love it but I loved it with a book. Large outdoor dining area with string lights for Magasine worthy outdoor dining. Outdoor shower and wrap around porch. You won't want to leave....

Lovely cottage steps from Lake Huron beach

This property is as advertised, if not better. The hosts are very accommodating and the space offers an example of a relaxing stay. The hosts even left a gift for our dog, which was a great touch! Why travel to the Caribbean when a beach like this is on offer just steps away from the back porch? This cottage is well equipped with everything you’ll need, only personal essentials are required to bring. With plenty of space on offer, our family of 4 plus dog had more than enough room. Our teenagers travelled to the Grand Bend strip on one of our days, which is only 15 mins away, while the parents had some time to soak up the tranquility of the property and the amazing beach. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. If you’re considering renting this property, do it! You won’t be disappointed.

Love our Happy Hideaway

This is our third year coming back for shutdown and unwind time at the lake. Our family loves the rustic charm, the warm feeling (and the portable AC unit!), the location and the proximity/access to the beach. From swimming in the lake to lounging on the deck, swinging from the multiple swings or hammock, playing board games in the kitchen, enjoying a beautiful outdoor meal off the grill, s'mores on the camp fire and always having time to find a comfy spot to read a book there is something for all of us to enjoy and so many ways for us to connect. We love it here and the hosts and owners are top notch on all fronts.

Really enjoyed our stay. Only issue was lack of air conditioning during a heat wave but we were aware of the lack of air conditioning when we booked.

Happiest of Hideaways

This was our return visit to Happy Hideaway in what is becoming a yearly vacation for our small family. We really love our time there together. Swimming, relaxing, enjoying delicious meals, camp fires with s'mores, hammock time, movie nights, cards and board games, visiting the local towns, getting local farm fresh eggs at the end of the road; there's no shortage of things to do and it's the perfect place to do nothing at all. Our daughter loved it, our dog loved it, we loved it. Looking forward to next year already.

Fantastic Long Weekend

What a fantastic long weekend in a sweet little beach side community! The cottage was great: plenty of room, clean, three bedrooms, two bathrooms electric fireplace, comfy couch, and great shower with good water pressure (not to mention a beach washoff shower outside). Lots of extras and linen service available. Loved the big windows in the living room and especially appreciated having a little floor space to do yoga in front of the fireplace looking out at the trees in the front yard. The beach was perfect. You can walk and walk in either direction with tons of great rocks mixed in with the soft sand. Especially loved the gorgeous beach entry path. Great location close to Bayfield, Grand Bend, and Goderich for day trips, shopping and restaurants. Will come back!
