Definitely I am going back!
The house was located at a perfect location. The check-in was a breeze and the host provided detailed information prior to our arrival. The house was neat, tidy and functional. My family (travelled with 3 kids) wanted to come back in the coming year.

Beautiful cottage!
Once again, we had a great week in Lion's Head. The cottage is beautifully decorated, clean and well maintained. Perfect for a family! The bunk bed and toys made it a blast for our kids. The cottage's proximity to the beach is a bonus, as is the general location of Lion's Head (allowed for easy day trips to Wiarton, Sauble Beach and Tobermory). Ruth's attention to detail and hospitality are wonderful!

We had a wonderful time at trails end. Felt like home away from home and Ruth was amazing too.
The area was perfect for all the things we wanted to go see and do. Like the grotto, Tobermory, flower pot island and sauble beach. Lions head is a beautiful little cove. We always ended our day at the beach playing vball, paddle boarding and walking along by the lighthouse. The cottage was clean, comfortable and Ruth had provided everything we needed. Highly recommend this place.

Nice cottage with lots to do close by
We had a nice stay at Trails End Beach House. It was clean and well equipped. It suited our needs for the week perfectly. The location is great - close to the beach and Lion's Head lookout trail on the Bruce, and only a short drive away from other interesting places to visit. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others for their vacation.

Fantastic place!
We loved our stay in Lion's Head. Ruth's cottage has lots of room, is beautifully decorated, well cleaned and extremely well suited to young children. Perfect location in a lovely little town. Close to Tobermory, Sauble Beach and Wiarton for day trips.

My Husband and I are long time residents of the area. We purchased this property as a getaway to enjoy time with our family and friends on the Bruce Peninsula. We enjoy exploring the area, relaxing on the beach and hiking the Bruce Trail. We are happy to offer our Beach House for other families to enjoy and experience the Bruce Peninsula.

Why they chose this property

We hope you will enjoy our home away from home as much as we do. The beach house is cozy and comfortable with all the amenities needed for your family. Only steps to sandy beach. Swim the day away or build castles in the sand making for a perfect way to spend the day with your family. Explore the Bruce Trail and hike along the escarpment bluffs to breathtaking views of the sparkling waters of Georgian Bay. Located right in the heart of Lions Head so you can walk to whatever you need. Only a short drive to Tobermory or Bruce Peninsula National Park which features the Grotto and Indian Head Cove. Drive to the west side of the peninsula to discover sunsets on Red Bay Beach or grab some ice cream in Sauble Beach. Perfect location for day tripping on the Bruce Peninsula.
