A countertop bar with 4 barstools and small dining table which seats 4 in the kitchen with views of the lake. Everyone will enjoy helping! And there's another dining area that seats 6.

NOTE: Playpen/Highchair available upon request

OUTSIDE:
Everyone will love paddling out on the kayaks, playing games in the large backyard, kids will revel in the huge sandbox or bring a net for some badminton/volleyball. BBQ up some steaks on the BBQ under a covered deck (which you'll appreciate if it's raining). Personally I savor quiet time on the sunset deck. In the evening, enjoy the fire pit with s'mores under the stars. Life can't get better than that!
And no need to leave your dog behind we know pets are family

NOTE: Lake Access is a rolling hill entrance. Lots of beach this year - 2025
The water 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. Even if it's stoney…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.

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/carshows 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.

You're just 5 minutes from the Bluewater Golf Club. We're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, including Hessenland Inn & Schatz Winery and Bad Apple Brewing Co. With wooded trails, scenic country vistas and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season.

Your peace of mind is my priority, and I’m here to help make sure you have the best vacation possible.

    The cottage is beautiful, very clean and spacious. More luxurious than home! Our pups loved walking the country roads and exploring the woodlands. The access to the private beach was a bit rugged for the seniors in our party with mobility issues, so they didn't try, but there are more accessible beaches in the nearby towns...just a shirt drive away. Lots to do and see in the area. We were extremely pleased with how quickly our host responded to any queries, and we were taken with the welcome package of smores, popcorn, and even treats for our two Shelties. We are excited to plan anither vacation with Jennifer next year!

    Wonderful property! Like being on the ocean! Saw 7 beautiful sunsets in 7 nights. Enjoyed swimming, kayaking, hanging out at what was essentially a private beach, bonfires, star gazing. Best of all, great time together with the family. Walk to the beach was a bit dicey, might be a little challenging for elderly folks, especially when wet and slippery, but we all managed just fine. Hope to come back next year!

    We have previously stayed in another cottage with cottagestays.ca and decided to try Woodland Cottage this year. We absolutely loved it. It was perfect for our whole baseball team (14ppl) to relax and recover after our tournament, the beautiful view was an added bonus. We will definitely try and book it again next year.

    Wonderful cottage full of all the amenities you could dream of! Peaceful and quiet nestled into the woods but with a wide open view of beautiful Lake Huron and fantastic sunsets! So much room for all of our 12 family members and 2 dogs, with a great games room that kept everyone as busy as they wanted to be. We would love to return one day!

    We enjoyed the well-maintained well-equipped cottage. We got a guidebook that explained a lot about living at that cottage. Unfortunately, the heating in the basement, which was separate from the heating upstairs, did not work. Hot water for showers was a little problematic. Other than these inconveniences, we enjoyed our stay there. Communication with the owner was very good.

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Woodland Private Retreat! What a wonderful oasis. We were greeted with the stunning view of sunny Lake Huron through magnificent west-facing windows. The house is incredibly spacious and has both a luxurious and cozy-cottage feel to it. The property is magnificent. The woodlands on both sides give a lovely degree of privacy. We often sat on the patio out back and enjoyed the singing cicadas and crickets, and several nights sat around the firepit and watched a gorgeous sunset while listening to crashing waves below us. We also loved the private path down to the beach area -- although a little steep at the start, the switchbacks make the mini trek very manageable and pleasant. The six of us ranged in ages from 56 to 83, and we all enjoyed the entire experience. My sister's Australian shepherd was in his element in this highly dog-friendly place. It was wonderful to have an array of indoor and outdoor games available for those of us who wanted to play pool, or bat a volleyball around (for example). There's so much to do and see around the area as well (e.g., we hiked, went to a winery, explored Bayfield and Goderich, went to outdoor markets). The folks from CottageStays managed our inquiries wonderfully, and it's clear they care deeply about the place and want you to have a terrific vacation. We really really did. I can't thank you enough -- both the owners and the CottageStays folks. We'd definitely like to come back!!
