Heaven on the Huron!

Our stay at the North Paw was simply perfect! Dave and Tim were absolutely charming and welcoming! The place was spotless clean and the right size for our needs. The North Paw is perfectly located, water is extremely clean and there is lots to do with the kayaks, paddle boards etc. Just close enough to Tobermory, you will enjoy the silence of the lake and the magnificent sunsets!We can only recommend this absolute jewel on the lake! Thanks again Dave & Tim!

Perfect getaway

Dave and Tim's place was absolutely spectacular, and the pictures don't even do it justice! The hosts were so friendly and helpful in all ways - their recommendations for places to go and things to see were perfect. The apartment was spotless and was equipped with everything you could possibly need, both inside and out. The location could not have been better - just a few minutes from the heart of Tobermory, but very very quiet and secluded once you're at North Paw. We have incredible photos and memories and definitely hope to go back for a longer stay!

Wonderful cottage in amazing Bruce Peninsula

Everything about our stay was great! From the beautiful location, to Dave and Tim's hospitality, to the care that they put into this cottage, came together to make for a phenomenal vacation. Their property is also well taken care of, with trails to walk around it, and chairs to lounge on. It is clear that Dave and Tim put a lot of work into making this property a lovely place to stay!
