About this home

Inside the home

This Tobermory cottage sits directly on a protected channel with easy access to Lake Huron. The 2021 renovation touched nearly everything inside — kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, plumbing, and electrical — and the result is a clean, functional cottage that works as a four-season property or short-term rental without further work required. The waterfront deck is the real centrepiece: glass-panel railings, two full seating zones, and direct stairs down to a flagstone patio at the water's edge. Inside, the kitchen uses butcher block counters, a farmhouse sink, and open shelving in a galley layout that opens to the living area and water-facing dining nook. The property also includes a second older structure near the road and a detached garage — neither renovated to match the main cottage. Fathom Five National Marine Park is a short boat ride away.

  • Direct waterfront on protected channel with calm, shallow water
  • Thoroughly renovated main cottage interior (2021)
  • Updated kitchen with butcher block counters, farmhouse sink, open shelving
  • Both bathrooms freshly renovated including ensuite in primary
  • Large waterfront deck with glass panel railing and two entertaining zones
