With its warm charm and prime location, your unforgettable spring getaway awaits!

Pull up a stool at the peninsula to help prepare meals or just chat with the chef. The kitchen opens up to a cozy area with a couch and TV, perfect for movie nights or cheering on the Jays.

SLEEPING SPACES (All located upstairs) Premier Bedroom with King Bed Bedroom 2 - Queen Bed Bedroom 3 - Single Bed with Single Trundel bed that rolls out.

NOTE: I expect we will have more beach this Summer 2025, depending on lake levels and what the lake pushes up. There are lake accesses all along Tuyll Street which is a great adventure to find your favorite! And you can walk 2 min to the Main Beach. The lakebed can be sandy or stoney depending on what the lake gives you that day. But it sure is fun to try to find the ever changing sandbars. Generally you will find sand 3ft out. It's fun to go stone collecting - Lake Huron is a geologists paradise! Just bring some water shoes. The nice thing is, it's not weedy or slimy at all.
NOTE: Parking is limited to 5 vehicles

ABOUT YOUR HOST I'm Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.

This cottage made for a lovely stay. Cottage its self was excellent and so convenient to the uptown shops and beach. We could walk to everything we wanted.
Somewhat smaller than it seems but very comfortable. Stairs were hard for older people to navigate, but the accommodations were nice and the service and host response were outstanding. Great location too.
Stayed here with my dad for his 75th birthday and we had a lovely time. Close proximity to the high street, well equipped for comfy stay at home meals and great communication with the host. Would highly recommend!
We had a lovely week at Afternoons on the Porch. Everything was as indicated, with an easy check-in, clean cottage, well appointed kitchen and comfortable roomsWould definitely recommend this cottage if you are looking to be right in Bayfield
