NOTE: Lake access is steps away on Tuyll street. 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.

Our family kids and grandkids included enjoyed our stay at the cottage/ lake house for a week. The location to amenities was great we walked to the square and the shops(ice cream shop in particular) and down to the pier which was very close. The beach was also close, a little bit of a hike up the stairs but we did it a few times even though the weather didn’t work out the best for us. The cottage had everything we needed and everyone enjoyed the game room. We were able to get in a few nights by the fire for s’mores. My grandkids enjoyed the scooters. Plenty of room for us to spread out to play games, read, watch tv, bbq and relax.

Our group was 8 adults and 2 babies under 1. Jennifer had pack n plays for both babies and a highchair (we only needed 1). The sauna was lovely and the decks were great for relaxing. we were in town for a wedding and didn't use the fit pit but it looked lovely as well. The kitchen was fully stocked, games room was super entertaining and the babies were upstairs and about to sleep while the adults enjoyed. It was walking distance to town and the beach which was amazing! One of the bedrooms upstairs had a wooden frame that was inconvenient for tall people but other than that it was wonderful! We loved our stay!!

We rented Lakeside Layover for a family gathering. It was ideal for 2 families. The games room was a big hit and the sauna was a nice added bonus. It was a short walk to Lake Huron and the town of Bayfield. The kitchen was well equipped with all the amenities of home. We appreciated that we could fit 10 around the table for dinner. The host was extremely attentive and offered additional information about the area. Thank you.
