Great kitchen for cooking, cozy living room and bedrooms upstairs. Beautiful area too. Picture perfect to the photos listed. Perfect location - right by the Grotto, Singing Sands Beach and Bruce Trail. Note that the shower and bathroom are on the main floor. Night time trips to the loo do require a downstairs trek. ##### Martha C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shannon J. Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Cute little cottage - good location for day trips! If you are looking for a good place to park for the week that is close to all the national parks and main attractions the red barn is a good choice. Just under 10 min to beautiful singing sands and less than 20 to the grotto Tobermory and halfway log dump parks. We appreciated the cute walking paths to the dock and fire pit and our boys ages 12 and 13 spent hours playing foosball in the bunkie. The cottage is quaint, beds are comfortable linens provided but warm in late July for sleeping. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need and nice to have extra dish soap paper towel etc . Grey Bruce cottages is responsive and were lovely to leave us some goodies upon arrival. I will mention the lake out front is small and does not connect directly into Lake Huron. There is iron sediment at the bottom of the lake not making it welcoming for swimming and as mentioned only 1ft off the dock . We did not use the lake other than to paddle over to portage to Lake Huron, however did sit at the dock for the beautiful sunsets. One other point is the fridge is extremely small. If looking to stack with water, drinks and food for the week you will not have room. Overall we had a nice stay however for the price something in Lake Huron would be ideal ##### Shannon J.
