Classic-Country Home Near Top Attractions

Discover "Mary-a-Lago," a captivating French-Country inspired home nestled on 2 acres in Northern Bruce Peninsula.

Lago is situated in central Peninsula along the historic Forty Hills logging route, 5 km away from the Bruce Trail (White Bluffs access), close to Devils Monument, 10 km away from both the warm and cold beaches of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, Greig's Caves, near the cute town of Lion's Head (great ice cream!). The famous 'Grotto' is a 20min drive North. Multiple inland lakes are nearby as well. We are also fortunate to be located in 1 of 12 rare UNESCO Biosphere reserves free of light pollution, ideal to stargaze the constellations. If active, you can hike, kayak, cycle, swim, and run until your heart is content!

Experience Lago with Sauna - the perfect place to retreat any time of year.

Enjoy this entire cottage residing on private and tranquil property on Northern Bruce Peninsula.

The roomy cottage features all the amenities required by guests who want to enjoy the expansive property, and surrounding Peninsula, but relax into a refined experience. Kids will enjoy one of many indoor and outdoor games provided.

After a day of hiking unwind in the outdoor wood-fired barrel outdoor sauna, or relax in one of multiple outdoor seating and dining areas, including a wrap-around deck strewn with Adirondack and lounge chairs, two outdoor gazebos, one outdoor fireplace, and a wood-fired pizza oven, then retire indoors to a large great room with an airtight fireplace, cute kitchen, and dining area overlooking the south side of the property.

Chose from one of 3 bedrooms to sleep in, or the fun and unique Peninsula Room adorned with an actual murphy bed.

Great location
Stayed for 4 nights with 2 friends. The property was as advertised. The kitchen area still needs some finishing, but is useable as is. There are plenty of extras on the property, including a sauna and pizza oven. We loved the outdoor space. Huge deck and great patìo with an outdoor fireplace. The location was ideal... close to Lion's Head and hiking trails. We are coffee drinkers, so brought a Nespresso machine, but there is a coffee pod machine. Didn't see a coffee machine that used just grinds though. Keep that in mind if you like your coffee ☕. Nathan responded to all of my questions almost immediately from before we decided on the cottage until check out. Impressive communication! Would stay here again.

Comfy, clean, lots to do
Stayed here for the better part of a week with a few friends, loved it and didn't want to leave at the end. Some tidbits from our stay: - Good supply of amenties and accoutrements: lots of books, various board games, lots of fireword, plenty of kitchen appliances - Great tap water; safe to drink and very clean with no well-smell or taste - Good internet for rural standards (50mbit LTE) - Nice welcome basket :) - Fairly secluded and quiet. Can notice the ocassional car drive by but otherwise didn't see or hear any neighbors - Fairly large property with lots of parking - Bring flip-flops if you plan to use the sauna as it's down a short gravel path - Shower pressure is adaquate Enjoyed our time here. Had plenty of things to do while hanging around the cottage. Would definitely come back
