Miller Lake Maple Retreat is a warm, modern cottage designed for easy, comfortable stays in every season. The interior is fully updated, bright, and thoughtfully laid out so you can actually relax the moment you walk in.

Open-concept living area

The main living space is open and airy, with lots of natural light coming through energy-efficient windows. Whether you’re here in summer or winter, it feels cozy without ever feeling cramped. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cool evenings after a day outside. It’s a great spot to curl up with a book, watch a movie, or gather for board games and conversation.

Updated flooring throughout keeps the whole cottage feeling clean, fresh, and easy to settle into — the kind of place where kids can pad around barefoot and everyone feels comfortable kicking back.

Kitchen & dining

The kitchen has been beautifully refreshed and is set up for real vacation living. You’ll find new cabinetry, modern countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, plus plenty of space to prep meals. It’s ideal for everything from quick breakfasts before a hike to relaxed dinners back at the cottage.

Because the kitchen opens into the living and dining area, nobody is stuck cooking alone — you can chat, snack, and hang out while meals come together. The dining space is close by and comfortable for shared meals, puzzles, or planning the next day’s adventure.

Bedrooms

There are two spacious bedrooms, each designed to be simple, restful, and practical for a cottage stay. The rooms feel calm and uncluttered, with enough space for luggage and a comfortable night’s sleep after a full day on the lake or trail. Whether you’re a couple, a small family, or two friends sharing, the layout works nicely for privacy and downtime.

Bathroom

The bathroom is fully updated and a little touch of luxury in cottage form. It features in-floor heating (especially appreciated in cooler months), a walk-in shower, and sleek fixtures. Everything feels fresh, modern, and easy — no fuss, just comfort.

Bonus bunkie (flex space)

A standout feature of the retreat is the insulated bunkie — a bonus, flexible space that guests can use in whatever way fits their group. It can be a hangout room, a quiet reading spot, a kids’ escape, or extra sleeping space. Think of it as a little add-on retreat within the retreat.

Overall, the cottage blends modern updates with classic Bruce Peninsula comfort. It’s not flashy — it’s inviting, practical, and quietly beautiful, with everything you need to feel at home while you’re away.

Miller Lake Maple Retreat sits in a peaceful, nature-first pocket of the Bruce Peninsula where days feel slower and the surroundings do most of the talking. The area is quiet and lightly developed, made up of cottages and year-round homes tucked among mature trees, with long stretches of shoreline and forest that keep things feeling private and uncrowded. You’ll notice the calm right away — little traffic, starry skies at night, and the kind of stillness you only get when you’re surrounded by water and woods.

Miller Lake itself is the centrepiece of the neighbourhood. It’s an inland lake known for clear water and a laid-back vibe, ideal for swimming, paddling, kayaking, and casting a line. Mornings here are especially beautiful: glassy water, soft bird calls, and a gentle pace that invites coffee on the deck before you even think about plans. Even on summer weekends, the area keeps a relaxed, local feel rather than a busy resort atmosphere.

Beyond the lake, you’re in classic Bruce Peninsula landscape — rugged limestone features, dense cedar and maple forest, winding backroads, and access to some of Ontario’s most iconic outdoor spaces. The neighbourhood is perfectly positioned for day trips: you’re a short drive from the dramatic cliffs and harbour views of Lion’s Head, and not far from Tobermory’s charming waterfront, shops, boat tours, and restaurants. The Bruce Trail and surrounding hikes are close enough to make spontaneous adventures easy, whether you’re chasing lookout views, hidden beaches, or quiet woodland paths.

Seasonally, the neighbourhood shifts in the best way. Summer is all lake life and long golden evenings by the fire. Fall brings crisp air and a blaze of colour through the forest canopy. Winter is quiet and cozy, with snowy trails, peaceful roads, and a true sense of retreat. Spring wakes everything up again — fresh green growth, migrating birds, and that first warm day where the lake calls you back outside.

If you’re looking for a place that feels close to everything you want to explore, but far from crowds and noise, this neighbourhood hits the sweet spot. It’s a calm, friendly, outdoorsy corner of the Peninsula where the natural setting is the main attraction — and where your days can be as adventurous or as restful as you choose.

Occupancy: 6 (4 adults, 2 children under 12)
