Clan Gregor Square is the heart of our quaint community where many local festivals/car shows and you won't want to miss the farmers market in season. Pioneer Park is another local favourite—kids will love cooling down at the splash pad. There's always something happening here, whether it's morning yoga or artists painting the sunset. Wander downtown and find your new favourite restaurant, and be sure to save a day to explore Bayfield's wineries and breweries! Just a few minutes away, you can enjoy an amazing wine tasting experience at Hessenland Inn & Schatz Winery. You're just 5 minutes from White Squirrel Golf Club, perfect for a round on the lush summer greens or a laid-back afternoon at their patio restaurant. Downtown Bayfield is only 5 minutes away—browse the charming boutiques and enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the quaint cafes. 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.

Beyond Our Expectations!

Hideaway absolutely blew our minds! This property went above and beyond our expectations. What makes it so special is the way everything is set up to let you truly enjoy the property and the nature around you. It almost feels like there are little “stations” for every part of the day: coffee on the deck in the morning while watching the wildlife (the black squirrels really put on a show!), a peaceful walk along the beach, or a full day by the beautiful turquoise water with everything you need to be comfortable. After a hot day at the beach, the outdoor kitchen and dining area are such a wonderful place to spend the evening. Then there’s the sauna, the firepit, stargazing… there is always something different to do, yet somehow the entire experience feels incredibly relaxing. We even discovered the wooden puzzles - definitely give them a try! Inside, the house is just as impressive. It is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated - every piece feels like it was chosen with intention. There is such great taste and attention to detail throughout, while still making the space feel warm, comfortable, and inviting. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, the beds are very comfortable, and having two king beds is such a rare find in a rental! The house is spacious, and there are windows literally everywhere, so you’re constantly surrounded by the view and can enjoy those incredible Lake Huron sunsets even from inside. It truly feels like a hidden gem - very private, a place where you can slow down, reconnect with nature, and completely recharge. We absolutely loved our stay and would happily come back!

The Hideaway is a premium location right on the lake. The facilities are top notch and Jennifer is a very good communicator. We very much enjoyed our mini break.

A really special place in the treetops overlooking Lake Huron. The pictures actually don’t capture how lovely the space is…something feels so peaceful with the spectacular views from all the windows.
