Merry Light Cove- Waterfront on Lake Huron & Sauna

Welcome to your private slice of lakeside paradise in the heart of Oliphant. Just a stone throw away from the shores of Lake Huron, this cozy, light-filled home offers everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The home sleeps up to six guests comfortably but the true magic of this property lives in its connection to the outdoors. The front porch offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the lake—perfect for slow mornings with coffee or catching the sky light up at sunset.

Welcome to your private retreat tucked along the peaceful shores of Lake Huron in the charming cottage community of Oliphant, Ontario. This cozy lakeside bungalow offers a restful escape for up to six guests, just a two-minute walk (less than 200 meters) to the crystal-clear waters and sandy beach of Lonely Island Beach. Whether you're here for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or a quiet trip with friends, this home is ideally situated to enjoy the best of Bruce Peninsula living — with Sauble Beach only a 5-minute drive away and endless shoreline trails, sunsets, and wildlife at your doorstep.

From the moment you arrive, the property draws you in with its calm, natural setting and unobstructed lake views directly from the expansive front porch. Watch the sun melt into the horizon while sipping wine in an Adirondack chair or step out with your morning coffee as the day begins across the water. The home’s elevated front porch faces west, giving you prime access to some of the most unforgettable sunsets Lake Huron has to offer — all without leaving the comfort of your own space.

Inside, the home is airy and bright, with clean lines, light-toned floors, and large windows that let the outdoors in. The open-concept living room is anchored by a beautiful fusion-stone fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings after a day of swimming or exploring. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals with ease, including modern appliances, cookware, and a dining area that invites connection and conversation. Two bedrooms offer cozy beds with soft linens, and a third flexible space functions as either a den or extra sleeping area, making this a great layout for families or small groups. A full bathroom with a shower, plus in-suite laundry, adds everyday convenience.

But what really sets this property apart is the connection to nature. Out back, you’ll find a traditional cedar woodfire barrel sauna — an ideal way to warm up after a dip in the lake or unwind under the stars. The backyard is private and serene, surrounded by trees and open skies, with plenty of space to relax, grill, or gather with friends. There’s also ample parking for up to four vehicles, making it easy to bring bikes, paddleboards, or your weekend gear.

Oliphant itself is a quiet, family-friendly area known for its shallow, warm waters, epic kiteboarding conditions, and relaxed vibe. The lakefront is perfect for wading, swimming, or launching a kayak — and the surrounding area offers scenic drives, trails, and hidden beaches waiting to be explored. In under 15 minutes, you can be in downtown Sauble Beach with access to restaurants, ice cream shops, and summer events, or venture further north toward Tobermory and the Grotto for an unforgettable day trip.

Whether you're looking for quiet mornings by the lake, sunset sauna sessions, or a basecamp to explore the wild beauty of the Bruce Peninsula, The Lookout Bay offers an inviting blend of comfort, nature, and location. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and stay just a little longer.

The guests will have access to the entire property inside and out. We encourage you to use all of the amenities, and respect them as if they were your own.

Although we absolutely love sharing The Merry Cove with guests, we deeply care about this property and want it to be respected at all times. Please preserve the cottages amenities, and reputation during your stay. We love our neighborhood so please so please continue that mutual respect while you are at the cottage. If at anytime you have questions, or need clarification on anything we are always here to help!

Our sauna is wood fired and if you would like wood within your reservation, please reach out and we can have it on site for your reservation. Wood is $30 per bundle, so please let us know how many bundles you would like between the sauna, and firepit!
