The cottage is comfortably furnished, tastefully decorated and fully equipped with many modern amenities including a high-speed wireless internet connection, a dishwasher, a clothes washer and dryer.

The cottage is located in a very private and quiet location on the shore of a sheltered bay of Lake Huron. There are no other cottages visible from the cottage or the front deck.

The master bedroom is spacious and furnished with a comfortable king-sized bed and has a walkout to a private balcony overlooking the waterfront. The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed.

The guest cabin which is located only a few steps from the main cottage is cozy and is furnished with a queen-sized bed and a couch that easily converts to a single bed. The guest cabin is the ideal place for older children, maybe a second couple or for grandparents that would appreciate their own quiet sleeping space.

The sofa in the entertainment room converts to a double bed.

The main bathroom located on the top floor is a clean light-filled-room that features a deep claw foot tub that can be perfect for long relaxing baths. A separate glass door shower stall, sink and toilet complete this room.

The kitchen is spotlessly clean and equipped with good appliances including a dishwasher and a full array of countertop appliances. There are stainless steels pots and pans and a full array of cooking utensils that allow the chef in your group to prepare light snacks or full gourmet meals.

The dining and living rooms are comfortably furnished and have large windows overlooking the deck and the waterfront.

A walk out to the front deck allows easy access to the gas BBQ located there.

A new entertainment room on the lower level is furnished with comfortable furniture, a 46” flat-screen satellite HDTV with surround sound, a Blu-Ray disk player and a wall mounted gas fireplace.

The Willow Bank has a deep drilled well that supplies plenty of clean water that is filtered, softened and purified using an ultra-violet light system. The drinking water has been government tested and the cottage owner readily drinks this water. There is a large hot water heater that supplies the cottage with what appears to be an endless supply of hot water.

The lake in front of the cottage can be the perfect place for young children to play in the sand at the water's edge. Two kayaks are provided for guests to use at the cottage.

The Singing Sands beach is a 5 -minute drive from the cottage and everybody that stays at the cottage raves about its warm water and soft sand.

The village of Tobermory is 16 km's (10 miles) from the cottage. Take a trip to town and shop for groceries or browse through the many shops. Stroll around the beautiful natural harbour enjoying an ice cream cone or stop at one of the many restaurants. Take a glass bottom boat cruise where you can view shipwrecks, lighthouses or visit Flowerpot Island.

Two and Three Day Weekend stays and mid-week stays of less than 7 nights are only available during the shoulder seasons in the Spring and Fall of the year.

We are now able to accept rental payments via cheques, major credit cards, PayPal and email transfers.

Linens for the king-sized bed will be provided. Linens for the other beds and all towels will be the renters responsibility unless prior arrangements have been made with the cottage owner.

Please note that bed linens and towels will be provided for visitors travelling from overseas. Linens and towels can be provided for other rental groups for an additional fee. A post rental cottage cleaning service can sometimes be arranged for all groups for an additional fee.

The owner of the Willow Bank cottage worked for one of the leading cottage rental management agencies as an Account Manager on the Bruce Peninsula for over 5 years. He is professional and well experienced in the entire cottage rental process. He has vacationed and lived on the Northern Bruce Peninsula for over 35 years and is able to answer any questions you might have regarding the Willow Bank cottage, the amenities provided or the area surrounding the cottage.

Many cottage owners use cottage rental management agencies to book renters into their cottages. These rental agencies often charge renters extra booking fees, service charges and taxes that are not always listed in their advertised rental rates. These extra charges can easily add an additional $100.00-$200.00 per stay to the amount being charged to renters of those cottages in addition to the advertised rental rates in their listings. This is not the case when guests book the Willow Bank.

During 2011, 2012, 2013 and again in 2014, the Willow Bank cottage was awarded a 'Top Rental Property' award from FlipKey/Trip Advisor. This exclusive honour was awarded to a select group of cottage owners world-wide. This award is based on the many excellent reviews that the Willow Bank cottage received from guests that have stayed at the cottage.

The cottage owner of the Willow Bank is very proud of this cottage and the surrounding area and he works hard to ensure that every guest receives the highest level of customer service possible from their first email enquiry, through the booking process, during their vacation period and afterwards.
