These cottages and the island are a piece of the history of this area and we were thrilled with our stay. Very rustic and unspoiled - Pat made us feel 100% welcome :) Everything we could want or need was readily available … canoes, bicycles, wood for the outdoor campfire or woodstove in the cottage all included - she even made sure we knew where to find the best view of the sunset! We wanted a rustic, comfy, unspoiled place to stay and this place delivered that experience 100%. We would have loved to stay longer and experience staying at the lighthouse that’s for sure!

Gorgeous spot
An adorable waterfront cottage, a step out to the beach and dock, kayaks and bikes to borrow- and stocked up with firewood. My kids loved the “kids clubhouse” as they named it- toys, books and movies. My whole family loved this spot- a beautiful place, we would come every year if we could.

I love this place! Quiet, peaceful and an amazing place.to just.sit and relax. The cottages are.a home away from home but better! The view of the lake is amazing and at night time the stars are beautiful. Everything you need is there and there is plenty to do. The owners are phenomenal! I highly.recoend this place hands down! Will be back again and again!!

Pat was incredibly welcoming and heartwarming, the place is cozy and the view is spectacular. Came in on a rainy day, wish I was able to stay longer it was truly breath taking! I could’ve stayed there for a week or longer. Didn’t want to leave when it was time to go. Absolutely loved my time at Bruce Bay cottage. Hope to see you again!

This is a rustic campsite. The cabin has everything you need for a fire on the beach sitting in the screen porch.

We loved it. Have already rebooked another stay for this fall. Proprieters were very kind, rates are very reasonable, and the views are spectacular. Wifi hot spot really easy to access vis your smartphone. Firewood for woodstove and fire pit was free and plentiful, kitchens and washroom well-equipped. Beds were a little hard for our bodies, and it was a little chilly in the mornings (cottages are not insulated), but it's a cottage in the woods, so you have to accept that going into this. We loved it.

2/10 Poor

Very bad experience.
The cottage is poorly maintained. The roof had leaks in the bathroom (it rained pretty bad). Door was barely closing and mosquitos were all over. I don't think the cottage was cleaned. Dirty floors, coffee machine with an old coffee bag... with mold. The view is great but the experience is not worth it.

4/10 Fair

Not great
If you are hunting or fishing it is great. No heat, no internet, no TV. Not rustic - shoddy. Went to see lighthouse and people there told us we were trespassing - they had rented the place and we couldn't even take pictures. Deck on cottage #8 has plywood covering parts - still unsafe. Cement blocks in water.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the location on the Bay! Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the views! We had a rain storm the first night and it was very cold in the cottage. There is a wood stove and lots of blankets but would have appreciated if the cottage came with an electric heater. Also a TV with a DVD player would be good to have on a stormy night. Cottage was clean and spacious.

Cute little cottage on the water with charm. Owner very kind and helpful. Walking trails are great, scenery is beautiful and cottage is comfortable with fresh towels and shower and kitchen / BBQ utensils also. A charcoal BBQ for your usage as well as fridge and stove. Even firewood for outdoor fire or woodstove. There is a dock with kayaks and life jackets and a sandy beach. Love this place.
