EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it's easy to experience each day to its fullest. Take a 10 minute stroll to village downtown to fine exquisite dining restaurants/bars and cafes, from pub fare to fine dining. Many boutique shops to browse that unique find, or one-of-a-kind art pieces. Or take a bike ride and see the sights of Bayfield, such as the splash pad at Clan Gregor Sq. or Pioneer park for a pickup game of volleyball, or the shores of gorgeous Lake Huron for a beach day and follow up with the best sunsets in Ontario! Bring your kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, boat, hiking shoes and escape to some good adventures and make memories!
Visit during the off-season to catch favorite annual events like VetteFest or for a girl's getaway weekend—we're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, shops, and yoga classes.
Bayfield is a "Blue Community" - visitors won't find bottled water in public facilities or at events but they will find a portable refillable water bottle station operated by pedal-power and five water bottle refill stations at public facilities located throughout the village.
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.

That Peaceful Place has a wonderful old fashioned cottage feel with all the modern conveniences. We appreciated the peaceful forest location while still being close to the beach and town. Would suggest taking bikes to travel around Bayfield. We will definitely return for another stay.
Lovely cottage on a very quiet street, not too far from the beach. Beach access can be a bit tricky but once your down there, it's perfect and not crowded. The beach is dog friendly which was great as we had our dog with us.
The cottage itself is very well maintained and very spacious. The pictures represent the cottage very well - it's actually even better in person!

splendid cottage in pretty Bayfield a wonderful experience
The cottage is well stituated amongst the trees, on a quiet street, and an easy distance from the beach and centre of town. It was super clean and very well equipped, and we enjoyed the beautiful sunroom very much. Jennifer, Lea and Shauna made every effort to help make our stay enjoyable, whether it was including a list of local events that weekend, directing us to the best beach access, providing the ultimate paddleboard rental service (loved that!) or helping with any questions in a timely manner. I would highly recommend booking a cottage with Cottage Stays! It was by far one of the nicest vacation experiences we have had!

Lived up to it's name!
This was the perfect place for a short getaway to Bayfield. The back (enclosed) porch was the ideal spot to enjoy a coffee, have a conversation, or read a book surrounded by greenery and light filtering through the trees. The whole family could fit around the table in the porch, and my kids also loved that they each had their own room. The property felt very private, all while being a less than 10 minute walk to the main street for dinner, ice cream, or shops. The front deck was also lovely for reading and chatting, and there was just a lot of serene green space.
We also appreciated everything was clean, tidy and convenient, and that there were ample dishes, cupboard room for some groceries, and hooks and drawers to store our things. The communication was great, and we made the most of the suggestions including yoga in the park and some of the walking trails.
We arrived at the cottage pleased to see it was situated in a quiet neighbourhood secluded by trees providing a nature like setting and lots of privacy.
Inside we were greeted with some tasty treats left by our host along with a handy resource manual about the cottage and relevant contact information.
The cottage is exactly as shown in the photos. One bedroom is connected to the master and holds the washer and dryer.
The cottage was fully stocked with everything you could want including books, kitchen supplies, games and beach chairs. The sunroom is great for quiet, cozy mornings where you can watch rabbits and squirrels enjoy their morning breakfast.
It is conveniently located close to the beach as well as upscale stores and restaurants.it was a great place for our family to relax and spend some quality time together.
