Great location, we were able to see some beautiful trails on the Bruce Peninsula. Only complaint, and it's a big one, is that there is no hot tub. I was looking specifically for a place with a hot tub to enjoy the night sky. Ad clearly states there is a hot tub but there is none to be found. The downstairs washroom has a nice size soaker tub, but it is definitely not a hot tub. We were quite disappointed to see the ad lured us in with a total lie. I reached out to the owner directly who replied by telling me the ad did not advertise a hot tub. I have the screenshots to prove it. So, if you're looking for a nice location on the peninsula but not hung up on a hot tub, this place may be a good fit.

review of cottage
was disappointed with the cleanliness of the cottage. You could see that the bathrooms where not cleaned overall very well. no keurig coffee make or fireplace as mentioned in listing. Tried using the oven one night and it filled with smoke. we ended up using the bbq instead. Dyson vacuum cleaner did not work. my suggestion would be to have the items you listed in your ad and have the cottage professional cleaned.

A Great Location on the Bruce
We come back to the Bruce every few years to enjoy the trails, Cyprus Lake, Singing Sands, hiking and watching the sunset on the Huron side. Whippoorwill Cottage Is a great location to reach all the points of interest on the Bruce in a short time. The cottage is well equipped and certainly in a quiet location to relax after a day of travels.

Beautiful Bruce Peninsula
Lovely cottage with beautiful surroundings. Over the last 18 years we have have divided our time between the city and Lion's Head so it was a bit like coming home.

Modern cottage with all you need
Brads cottage is a great , very modern cottage within a short drive to town. The cottage has everything you need for a great stay. We drove less than an hour to some of the best/ most scenic hiking trails in Ontario. Brad was easy to communicate with and made sure we were well taken care of. Great spot !

Belle maison dans un coin très tranquille, mais un peu loin de tout, et surtout la propreté de l’hébergement laissait à désirer. Nous avons du laver le frigo avant d’y mettre nos choses, la douche était sale. Il faut apporter ses draps et serviettes.
