This Bruce Peninsula cottage rental is very conveniently located in a quiet neighbourhood within walking distance (10 minutes) of Sauble's famous beach on beautiful Lake Huron, and it's a 5 minute drive to Sauble Falls Provincial Park. Split your days between lounging on the beach, riding the waves, and hanging out poolside, or explore the surrounding area. A stroller, beach toys, and beach chairs are thoughtfully provided for those beach days, plus a set of fishing equipment.
Back at the cottage, you'll enjoy the solitude of the private tree-lined property, complete with a deck for outdoor dining and a separately gated and decked swimming area. Wear out the kids' excess energy by kicking the soccer ball around, shooting some hoops, or swimming in the pool. On days the weather won't cooperate, there's always ping pong or darts in the garage, or a board game or movie in the cottage.
The cottage itself is comfortably furnished and well equipped, with 3 smart TVs, unlimited internet, Blu Ray and standard DVD players, and a selection of DVDs and board games. There are three bedrooms - two with queen-sized beds and a bunk room with 2 sets of bunks and another smart TV - making this room a great place for the kids to hang out!
The Sauble River (10 minutes away) is great for canoeing and kayaking, so bring your boats and enjoy a paddle! If you don't have one of your own, rentals are available at OuterVision Adventure Tours. Tobermory is just an hour away, and well-worth the drive to this charming port-side town on the tip of Bruce Peninsula. Shop their downtown or enjoy one of the a local restaurants, or even take a boat tour to Flowerpot Island, perhaps viewing the shipwrecks along the way in one of the glass-bottomed boats.
Enjoy a day trip to Wiarton to enjoy the many shops and restaurants there, or drive north or south down the coast of Lake Huron to see some of the other communities and experience their unique flavours - Oliphant (15 mins), Southampton (10 mins), or Port Elgin (20 mins) are all a short drive from here.
