Myles Bay Retreat – A Lakeside Cottage Retreat in the Heart of the Bruce Peninsula

Tucked away on the peaceful shoreline of Myles Bay and surrounded by mature evergreens, Myles Bay Retreat is the kind of cottage that offers both seclusion and comfort for your next getaway. This four-bedroom cottage combines rustic charm with modern convenience, making it perfect for families, groups, or couples looking to unplug and unwind in nature.

Lakeside Living, Steps from the Water
The cottage sits just above the rocky shore of Myles Bay, with a clear, shallow entry ideal for swimming and paddling. A circle of Adirondack chairs surrounds a waterfront firepit—a perfect spot to watch the sunset, roast marshmallows, or stargaze under the dark, unpolluted skies. The bay’s calm waters and quiet atmosphere make it ideal for morning coffee on the beach or afternoon kayaking adventures.

Outdoor Space to Breathe and Gather
The expansive elevated deck is a major feature, with bright red Muskoka chairs offering a cozy place to lounge, read, or share a meal outdoors. The wraparound design ensures views of the forest and the lake from multiple angles. Below, there’s additional seating and shaded space, along with a handcrafted red porch swing nestled into the trees—perfect for lazy afternoons.

Open-Concept Cottage Comfort
Inside, the open-concept living and dining area is flooded with natural light from the large windows and patio doors. A vaulted pine ceiling adds warmth and space, complemented by a stone fireplace and cozy furnishings. Whether you’re gathered around for board games, enjoying a family-style dinner, or watching a movie, the great room is designed for connection.

The kitchen is fully equipped with generous counter space and modern appliances, making it easy to cook meals and entertain. A breakfast bar with red stools adds casual seating for morning coffee or evening snacks.

Room for Everyone
Myles Bay Retreat includes four bedrooms:

A primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a walk-out balcony, and serene forest views.

A bunk room designed with kids and teens in mind—two sturdy sets of bunk beds and playful décor.

Two additional bedrooms (not pictured here) provide flexible sleeping arrangements for couples or solo guests, ensuring everyone has their own space to recharge.

Peaceful and Private, Yet Close to Everything
Though nestled in nature, the cottage is only a short drive from the village of Lion’s Head, where you’ll find groceries, restaurants, hiking access to Lion’s Head Lookout, and more. The property offers a great launching point for day trips to Bruce Peninsula National Park, The Grotto, or Tobermory.
