This beautiful modern open concept cottage is set on a ½ acre grass and treed property just off Hwy #21, five minutes south of Bayfield and fifteen minutes north of Grand Bend. It has a bright open-concept living space with 20 ft cathedral ceilings and lots of windows for natural light.

The cottage is all season, fully furnished with 3 bedrooms and one full bath. The master bedroom has a King sized bed, second bedroom a Queen bed and the third bedroom has a double/single bunk bed –sleeping 7 comfortably. (Note - bed linens and personal towels are not provided.)

Enjoy the sunny wrap around deck at the front and side of the cottage with a walk-out from the living room and another from the master bedroom. There is a BBQ and lots of patio furniture for eating and lounging. Perfect for catching some rays on a lazy afternoon. The backyard is spacious and cleared and includes an open fire pit.

Lake Huron beaches and sunsets are not to be missed. We have 2 beach accesses that are shared by only members of our community. Both are a couple minutes walk from the cottage. One access is a slope path down to a ramp at the edge of the water, the other are stairs to another beach area. The beach is a combination of sand, pebbles and rocks with a gradual entrance into the lake. Lake Huron Sunsets are known to be spectacular. Be sure not to miss one!

Charming Second Visit!

My family and I stayed here last year over Thanksgiving and booked it again for our summer holiday! It was gorgeous in the fall and even better in the summer! We had a lovely time staying here again! It was very comfortable and we loved watching the hummingbirds and other wildlife.

Great getaway

Nice, clean spot with a big yard and fire pit. We saw hummingbirds and a white squirrel from the deck. Fire pit in back and short walk to the beach. Easy drive into Bayfield, Grand Bend and Goderich.

Serenity Now

We LOVE this cottage! Jodi, our host, went above and beyond quickly responding to any questions we had. As others have mentioned, the neighbours were amazing and very welcoming--Kris even invited my husband to go snowmobiling with him this winter! The bed was so comfortable I slept through the night every night. I loved the appliances. We had campfires almost every night in the backyard, and loved the beach (except the little part at the shoreline that had little pebbles that moved when you stepped on them!) Even the cleaning woman, Britney, who arrived just as we were leaving at the end of our stay, was so nice and friendly. I give the cottage and Jodi (and Paul!) a 10 out of 10!

Relaxing and private. The beach this year was perfect; sandy and clear water. The cottage has everything necessary, all the comforts of home and exceptionally clean. Looking forward to our next visit.

Girls get-a-way

We had a great time and enjoyed the cottage. It was well supplied and comfortable beds. The deck is very large and made a great gathering spot to enjoy the breezes and quiet surroundings. For cooks, it has a well supplied kitchen and plenty of work space. Many nice courses around and a deep back area to practice. I’d like to come back, I’m sure the fall is beautiful there.

Great Little Getaway!

Serenity Now was just what my mom, sister and I needed. Its in an excellent location between Bayfield and Grand Bend. We did some shopping and enjoyed an afternoon at the Bad Apple Brewing Company. The cottage itself was clean and had everything you need in the kitchen to prep and make your own meals. We spent a lot of time on the deck just hanging out and reading. It was a 2 minute walk to the beach which did not disappoint. The sunsets were beautiful. The neighbours were friendly and helpful. One thing that we noticed was it did not have the patio furnitue as mentioned and shown in the photos. Good thing we brought our own chairs. :)

Awesome Cottage

It was the perfect location for a little Thanksgiving weekend getaway. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with cooking equipment plus a little pantry of items left behind from other cottage goers. I brought things from home to cook dinner and they ended up back in the car because we didn't need them! It rained all weekend but we didn't mind because the wifi was great so we watched movies and there were tons of games available. Overall it was a great experience!

We loved our stay. The cottage was clean and cosy, it had everything we needed for our stay. A nice big yard for our dog Ellie. Wonderful friendly neighbors also. The access to Lake Huron is close and Bayfield is lovely. We plan to be back soon.

Very pleasant week

The residence is nicely appointed and comfortable. We appreciated being able to bring our 13 year old Lab who enjoyed her walks in the area. My grandchildren (7 and 9) preferred to swim in Grand Bend as opposed to the small beach accessible from the cottage. The beach off Pavillion Rd is quite nice and we enjoyed swimming there as well. The front porch is comfortable and th erocking chairs were well used. The large lawns afforded us an opportunity to play numerous games. It was an enjoyable stay.

Turn up the volume

It was a nice cottage and area. Been many times before but that darn TV. We could no get the TV to work and no volume on the TV. Also dvd and cd players did not work either. I contacted the owner of this property and there response was maybe you hit the mute button. We are very computer savvy and we know how to use a TV and it's settings. Hopefully the next person will have better results!

Amazing Stay

Great stay! It was clean (just be sure to clean up after yourself to avoid bugs), we loved making fires and visiting the town/beach side. It was especially nice heading into town and walking down to the beach side. Hosts communicated very well, all their instructions are super clear and they were kind. Have already recommended it to others and we're considering another stay!

Very pleasant cottage

Nice property, very clean. Some bug issues and the TV went off line for last two days. Could never connect to the WIFI. I am an artist and was there to get caught up on some projects, so the solitude was nice. I would have liked to have had more walking opportunities within the area. Had to drive to trails.

About the host

Hosted by Jodi

Host profile image
We are a fun loving family of six and live in Burlington Ontario, outside of Toronto where our businesses take much of our time. We enjoy the peace and tranquility of our cottage called 'Serenity Now' as a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of our hectic lives.

Why they chose this property

We called our cottage 'SERENITY NOW!" after the Seinfeld episodes where George Costanza father (Frank Stiller) is calling out for 'Serenity Now!' If you haven;t seen it - check it out... then come to our cottage for some Serenity Now!

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is modern and open concept, bright and airy with cathedral ceilings and one side of all windows for natural light. Spacious and clean, there is lots of space inside and out to enjoy.

Lake Huron is a big lake with Ocean-like sounds as it ebbs and flows on the shore. The sunsets are some of the best in Canada and not to miss. Often cottages in Lake Huron on on the edge of a cliff, we have a paved slope down to the water's edge, easy to access across the road from the cottage.
