Perfect stay

A huge thanks to the Grey Bruce cottage team. We had a wonderful stay in early July. The cottage was perfect - clean, plenty of towels, lots of space, modern yet cozy. We loved the sauna, the sunroom, and the many table options for meals. The kitchen had everything we needed and items felt special. The rocky shoreline was gorgeous, relaxing, pristine. What a special place. We would love to stay again, in summer and another season.

Serene beauty at Peninsula House.

My nieces and I had the most incredible weekend at Peninsula House, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning design and serene atmosphere. The modern farmhouse charm of this luxury cottage is unmatched—it's like stepping into a magazine! The cedar shake exterior instantly transported us to the quaint coastal towns of Cape Cod, while the interiors were a perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort. One of my litmus tests to tell if a property is thoughtfully cleaned is to open a kitchen drawer and see if it’s organized and the utensils are clean. Peninsula House passed with flying colors—the kitchen was spotless and every detail was impeccably arranged. We spent our days soaking in the beauty of the forest views through the expansive windows, and the evenings relaxing in the Scandinavian-inspired sauna—pure bliss! The screened-in porch was the perfect spot for our family gatherings, offering both comfort and a close connection to nature. Every detail of Peninsula House is thoughtfully designed, making it the ultimate retreat. We left feeling refreshed and already planning our return. This place is a true gem on the Bruce Peninsula!
