Discover the Magic of Tobermory – The Playground of the Bruce Peninsula

Blue Aurora is quietly tucked away on Borden Drive, a hidden gem along the shores of Lake Huron that offers a peaceful waterfront escape while keeping you close to the Bruce Peninsula’s most celebrated attractions. This serene setting combines natural beauty, privacy, and unbeatable access to adventure.

Just a short drive brings you into the heart of Tobermory, where you can explore the charming harbour, browse local shops and galleries, and enjoy waterfront dining. From here, set out on glass-bottom boat tours to view historic shipwrecks, or hop on a ferry to the iconic Flowerpot Island. Bruce Peninsula National Park is also nearby, home to the famous Grotto, Indian Head Cove, and dramatic limestone cliffs overlooking turquoise waters.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to the Bruce Trail, offering unforgettable hikes through forest, along the Niagara Escarpment, and to breathtaking lookouts above Georgian Bay. Whether you’re hiking, paddling, or simply exploring quiet backroads, the region offers endless ways to connect with nature.

Closer to home, Blue Aurora invites you to slow down and soak in the surroundings. Enjoy stunning Lake Huron sunsets from the deck, take a peaceful kayak or paddleboard outing on calm water, or relax outdoors under wide-open skies. The area lies within a Dark Sky Preserve, making nighttime stargazing a highlight, with brilliant stars and the Milky Way often visible on clear nights.

Whether your stay is focused on adventure or relaxation, Blue Aurora offers the perfect balance—a tranquil, modern waterfront retreat with the Bruce Peninsula’s most incredible natural wonders just minutes away.

Nestled along the serene, snow-kissed shores of Lake Huron, Blue Aurora transforms into a breathtaking winter retreat where contemporary architecture meets the quiet magic of the Bruce Peninsula. This box-frame-inspired sanctuary offers an elevated cold-season escape for discerning travellers seeking luxury, tranquility, and the unforgettable beauty of a frozen lakeside landscape.

Step inside to soaring double-height ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic views of Lake Huron’s shimmering winter blues and icy shoreline. The open-concept living area glows with natural winter light while the sleek fireplace fills the space with warmth and ambiance—perfect for curling up after a day of winter exploration. The gourmet kitchen, equipped with high-end appliances, invites guests to prepare comforting seasonal meals and gather around the dining table for intimate evenings and festive celebrations.

With three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, Blue Aurora comfortably accommodates up to six guests. The primary suite becomes a winter sanctuary, complete with private deck access and peaceful views of snow-dusted pines and the frozen horizon. Spa-like ensuite bathrooms, appointed with luxurious finishes, provide the perfect place to unwind with a long warm soak after a crisp day outdoors.

Two expansive decks—upper and lower—extend the living space into the winter landscape. Sip morning coffee wrapped in a blanket on the upper deck as snowflakes drift through the air, or gather on the lower deck as the sun sets, warming up by the fire pit beneath a brilliant canopy of winter stars. The private shoreline offers its own winter charm, ideal for peaceful walks, photography, or simply admiring the dramatic beauty of frozen Lake Huron.

Located just a short drive from Tobermory and Bruce Peninsula National Park, Blue Aurora offers easy access to winter hiking, snowshoeing, and the unparalleled quiet of the off-season. More than a destination, it is an experience—an oasis of luxury, warmth, and natural wonder where modern design and winter’s tranquil beauty exist in perfect harmony.

A vehicle is recommended.

Short family getaway

While we had unfortunate weather for the duration of our stay, the location of the house on the water made it easy access for those moments where the weather cleared so we could take full advantage of the beauty of the lake. The house was clean and quiet and we would stay again if ever in the area.

This place was just as the pictures show - beautiful! Loved every minute, with the windows open heading the waves coming up to shore...there's no better sound. ❤️ Great hiking trails around the area, just a couple minutes drive either way from the cottage. Singing Sands, the Grotto (a MUST SEE), and if you like a little boat ride - take the glass bottom boat to Flower Pot Island and hike there for a couple of hours. It was all very beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.
