Property details

WIFI | AC | Gas Fireplace | Lake View & Lake Access | 1 Non Shedding Dog Allowed There's a moment — right when you walk through the door — when the whole Great Room opens up in front of you. Floor-to-ceiling windows. The lake, straight ahead. Light everywhere. That feeling is why guests book Blue Bluff Beauty. This lakefront home sits on the bluffs five minutes south of Bayfield, with the world-renowned Lake Huron sunsets laid out in front of you from multiple perches: the fire pit, the back porch, and that big bright room that somehow makes the lake feel like part of the furniture. For families and groups who want everyone in the same room — this is that cottage. INSIDE The Great Room is sunny, expansive, and generous — the kind of open-concept space where the cooking and the conversation and the card games all happen at once. At the center of it: a huge round dining table that seats 7, the kind you don't stop talking around. The gas fireplace anchors the room when the evenings cool down. Off the kitchen, a separate den with a pullout sectional gives the kids their own space for games and puzzles — which means the grownups actually get the Great Room to themselves. SLEEPING SPACES Premier bedroom is upstairs, complete with King bed and private ensuite bathroom with tub and separate shower. BR #2 is on the main floor with a Queen bed. BR #3 has a Single over Single bunk and Single over Double bunkbed Den has sectional with pullout Double bed. 3 Piece Bathroom on the Main Floor NOTE: Playpen/Highchair available upon request OUTSIDE The sun loungers on the back deck are where the afternoon goes. The lake is right there in front of you, the light shifts, and nobody's in a hurry. This is the nap that fixes things — warm, unhurried, with the sound of the waves doing all the work. When the weather calls for it — or even when it doesn't — the screened porch with its two skylights and mood lighting becomes the dinner table. It's sheltered, atmospheric, and completely its own thing. Evening meals here last longer than they should. The fire pit on the bluff is where everyone ends up once the sun goes down. S'mores, wine, the kind of easy laughter that only happens when nobody has to be anywhere. As Peter put it: "there was always a new place to sit and enjoy the view." The fire pit is the last stop. The new lake stairs (added 2025) take you down approximately 80 steps to your private stretch of Lake Huron. The lakebed shifts between sandy and stoney depending on what the lake is giving you that day — sandbars generally appear 3 feet out, the water is clean and clear, and the stone collecting is genuinely excellent. A geologist's paradise, a kid's afternoon obsession. Bring water shoes. Note: *2025 -Newly Added stairs to access the Lake, right in your backyard - Approx. 80 stairs to the Lake* The lakebed can be sandy or stoney depending on what the lake gives you that day. But it sure is fun to try to find the ever changing sandbars. Generally you will find sand 3ft out. It's fun to go stone collecting - Lake Huron is a geologists paradise! Just bring some water shoes. The nice thing is, it's not weedy or slimy at all.

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 short drive to the village downtown, to fine exquisite dining restaurants/bars and cafes, to pub fare to fine dining. Many boutique shops to browse that unique find, or one-of-a-kind art pieces. See the sights of Bayfield, such as the splash pad at Clan Gregor Sq., Pioneer park for a pickup game of volleyball, or the shores of gorgeous Lake Huron for a beach day. 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 the property manager 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.

Jennifer was a fantastic host. Extremely responsive and very friendly. Her cottage is an absolutely perfect location for viewing of the beautiful Lake Huron sunsets! Cottage was clean, cottage is as shown in the pics! Best part of the whole cottage is the screened in porch. Even when raining we could sit outside. Porch was well used by all of us! She even left a welcome dog snack for our pooch! Thanks for being such a wonderful hostess and letting us enjoy a week of summer at your place. Nancy, Dino and Family July 2026

This cottage and location far exceeded our expectations! You'd be hard-pressed to find a more breath-taking view of Lake Huron in the area, as most cottages nearby are more tree covered. The steps down to the beach feature a spacious landing close to the lake with 4 comfortable lounge chairs and 2 side tables (a wonderful setting to read and listen to the waves). Our family enjoyed the fire pit (there is a large wood pile and many chairs) and hammocks in the yard. Bayfield is an easy 5 minute drive, with a grocery store along the way. The house is so nicely decorated, and we felt at home immediately. Jennifer was an awesome host in every way - helpful, friendly, responsive, supportive - my family had the BEST time (even though wildfire smoke stole a few days from us). Cannot recommend the Blue Bluff Beauty cottage high enough! It was absolutely gorgeous and so comfortable. Our first visit to Lake Huron was certainly memorable and positive!

It was our second time staying at Blue Bluff Beauty - I think that speaks for itself. Jennifer was extremely responsive and friendly. The cottage is wonderful, and a place we would love to stay again.

The exact moment we pulled up to the cottage, we immediately fell in love. What an amazing view it was. It’s worth visiting this Bluff beauty just for the view!! Pros- amazing view, spacious property both inside and outside, million dollar location . Jennifer was very quick to respond to any questions. Cons - deck furniture was covered with cobwebs and was not used or cleaned for ages it seemed. For the extra money I paid for linen, the bed linen on the bunk beds were worn off and old. Honestly the location, the view and the tranquility makes this place worth visiting again and again.
