Evan and Dave are fantastic hosts, and have always made a point of making our stay special. A quiet property located on the lake.

Bonfires and marshmallow roasts at night (weather permitting of course) Make a point of visiting, you won't be disappointed.

Unfortunately we returned this summer 2017 to find new owners that were absolutely the most unwelcoming people I have ever met. I truly believe they were watching our every move. Every time we turned around, someone was chasing us on a golf cart about something. we are a nice family that caused no harm. We were treated like small children with a mean teacher. I couldn't wait to leave. They gave us no alone time. We were at the point that we really didn't want to leave our room. Just terrible. So happy to be home.

Stayed here for two nights with some friends the last week of August. There were 8 of us in total,…read more4 adults and 2 kids ranging from age 8 to 12. We booked the two largest rooms in the house, the Lighthouse and Woodland. The total was $265.55 for the Lighthouse ($165 + $70 for the additional 2 kids + tax) nightly. Our room was ready on schedule for the 4pm check-in. It was nicely decorated with a nautical theme in a lovely blue colour motif. It had a double bed and 2 twin beds as well as a couch, and full bathroom. Doug and Tracy are lovely hosts, warm and friendly. The breakfast food was delicious and the dishes were beautifully presented as you can see from the photos. Forgot to take pictures of the second breakfast because we were too busy eating!! It was so convenient having water activities available right in the backyard. There are canoes, kayaks, and paddle-boards, so plenty to choose from for everyone. Just sign a waiver and off you go. There are some life jackets available but if you have your own, bring them along. There is also a campfire for guests to use but unfortunately we were rained out so wasn't able to enjoy it. The rain did not dampen our spirits though and we were able to go on a walk to Sauble Falls which is 5 minutes from the B & B. Though Sauble Falls is no Niagara, it is still quite pretty with a waterfall that reminds you of steps. Suable beach is quite a long stretch of sand. It was much too cold and windy to go into the water because of the weirdly rainy chilly weather but the kids had fun running around the shore and because of the crappy weather, the beach was quite empty. For other meals we ate at Sola's Grill. Their stone oven pizza is quite good. We also tried Channing Restaurant which had Chinese/Canadian dishes. There aren't a whole lot of options in terms of restaurants in Sauble but if you plan ahead, you can arrange to have dinner at the B&B for an additional fee. Some of the other guests we met during our stay have been staying at this B&B for years and have had Doug prepare their dinners. They only had high praises for the meals they've had in the past. We enjoyed leisurely evenings in the common area where guests can lounge on the couch and and make use of the games and books they had on hand. It was a nice mini vacation from the city. The location is convenient as we were able to check out many small towns (eg. Southhampton, Weirton, Goderich, etc.) just a short drive away. Overall, a great trip despite the unseasonably cold weather!

Was in the area for the weekend and was only staying one night. Of course there were the Father's…read moreDay markup for all hotels in the area. This one costed about $150 for 2 double beds. It's still ~$50 cheaper than the other hotels. So I guess the price point is on par with everything else. It's just surprising how expensive basic rooms are in the area. My first impression coming into the motel wasn't that great. Considering the outside gives you the "kidnap and murder vibe". All jokes aside, I was pleasantly surprised with how clean the room was. There wasn't any weird smells or stains on the sheets. There was even a fridge, microwave and coffee machine. For amenities, there were your typical cheap shampoo and soaps in those plastic packs. The beds and pillows weren't as comfortable but if you're staying here for 1 night you'll have a pretty nice sleep. Otherwise I'd suggest you bring your own pillow and amenities if you're staying for an extended period. In short, it's a nice place for a short stay. I'd definitely recommend this inn for those on a budget.

The room was very clean and the Manager there very accommodating! A storm had knocked out the power the night before and the air conditioner wasn't working. I called to the desk and the Manager came right away. He found the plug wasn't working and brought a fan (which we didn't need to use) and an extension cord and fixed the problem! We also enjoyed the fact that it was a 5 minute walk to Tim Hortons for our Coffee and Breakfast! Would definitely book here again!

What a lovely place to stay!…read more My family of five (all adults) stayed at their Crow's Nest rooms on a summer weekend. Our hosts Miriam and John were lovely and gracious, and the space was perfect for our needs. I had a hard time looking up places to stay in the area as I was in Michigan and it just seemed there was very little useful or well-organized information about housing or rentals online. I'm so glad I found this place! They were always prompt with answering emails and accommodating concerns and turned out to be an ideal place to stay. The home is very nice and well maintained. Very large! There must be 7 rooms I think, although not all for guests. It apparently used to be a county doctor's home in the past. There is a large common area on the main floor with a fireplace, but we didn't use it as our rooms had a great living area enclosed. The Crow's Nest room area at the top of the BnB is great for families or small groups as it has two adjoining rooms and a large living area and a tv and small balcony and well-equipped kitchen, and is great to just "hang out" and play games, catch up etc. The grounds here are beautiful! We played frisbee in the yard, lay in the hammock, chatted on the lovely deck. The lawn is very well maintained! There is a firepit, veggie patch. I haven't even had the breakfast yet (that's tomorrow morning) but the hosts were very accommodating with our requests for a diabetic meal for my mom. There is a restaurant down the street (Sulky Sam's) which came recommended from the hosts, which we enjoyed as well :) Nearby there are all the great things the Bruce trail and recreation area have to offer. Port Elgin is great for relaxed cookouts with the family, Sauble beach is right there, and then a scenic drive from Wiarton to Tobermory is not to be missed (Flower Pot Island, Chantry Island, etc). STAY HERE! We've stayed at BnB's in Mackinaw, Michigan and in Stratford, Ontario among other places - this is our favorite so far!

Miriam put me in contact with Sandra Howe from sole and spirit. Miriam was prompt in answering emails and worked with Sandra and I to make this an unforgettable experience for me. The home has a Victorian look and is well maintained. My room was on the main floor at the front. Its room was large with a comfortable bed, an ensuite and furnishing to match the time era. The grounds are well kept with gardens,a fire pit and a place to just relax. I enjoyed the hammock, the covered glider and chairs on the spacious deck out back. Miriam's breakfast was excellent what a cook. I'd recommend the restaurant down the street (Sulky Sam's) or the BBQ chicken dinner at the Legion. (a short walk away) A not to be missed spot is nearby Paisley. Sandra who provided my transportation to and from the bus station, shared the history of the area on the drive. I did a bike tour that was personalized to my needs and seen the Mills. The next day Miriam showed me the route to bike to Arron Lake, a scenic ride and relaxing spot. An excellent trip,all very affordable,no car or bicycle needed. Back to city life now.

We came here this past weekend, on the fly. We had a less…read morethan desirable experience at a campsite in Tobermory and called around frantically looking for a place to stay. We called Mountain Lake Camp and the nicest person (Amanda took my call), and basically told me to "Come on down". This is THE most laid back, relaxed, every one is just in a chilled out, super happy mood park I have ever been too. There are literally only a couple places for tents and the rest is trailers. They had live music, a big roast going, great firewood... CHEAP prices, everyone we talked to was extremely nice. They are located right on the water. We are so going back to this place. It was a massive area where we played frisbee, baseball, took walks around. And we just walked around with our beers.. very rule laid back. Even the next day... it was raining pretty hard so we were stuck under our big tent. The owner said we could leave whenever we wanted ... we didn't NEED to be out by a certain time. This place was great, we are just going to stay here from now on when visiting the Bruce Peninsula.
