Fantastic place to get away from it all. Lovely time relaxing and listening to the loons.

We had a wonderful experience. The cottage was very nice, peaceful and had wonderful views. The island and the people were very nice as well. Ginny was very responsive to all of our questions. Great for a relaxing get away!

We had a lovely time on St Joseph's Island. The cottage is clearly a well loved family home and we were made to feel very welcome. The view is spectacular and the sound of the wind rustling through the trees at night was very peaceful. If you're looking for a complete change of pace with time to relax and settle in with a good book this is the perfect spot!

Great peaceful getaway!! Lake Huron is beautiful and the house is spacious!!

A beautiful location in touch with nature. Friendly, wonderful hosts that you can have a great conversation with. Would recommend this place to anyone. Do it.

This is a comfortable room with warm and generous hosts. It's out in a rural area that is peaceful and quiet.

It's as described.

It was a pleasure meeting Nancy and Ben . There place is very clean , tidy and quaet . Thank you :)

Small room clean bathroom close to town local diner worth the trip. Great for a quick stop over for a single traveller with no bells and whistles. Very gracious and gentle hosts.

What a blessing for me to have been in Nancy and Benn's place. I couldn't expect a better welcome, it's the first time that I stay in an Airbnb place and i felt like I was with my family. Only God knows why. I recommend to anyone who need to do stop for a night during their road-trip, or anyone who want to relax in a peaceful atmosphere - the bedroom is well equipped, the bathroom is great. I only stayed one night, I wish i would stay more to see around. God willing I will come back to their place. Thanks again for welcoming me. PS: the muffin was very good.

AMAZING! That is the word I use to describe my experience with them! Lovely couple and gorgeous view front and back, it is a little enchanted forest near you!. I had great conversation with both of them and very kind souls!

quiet, peaceful, immaculate house and warm, friendly hosts.

Daniela a été très accueillante avec nous. Elle s'est rendue disponible par message texte (cela est ce qui nous convenait mieux) avant notre séjour pour répondre à nos questions et faciliter notre arrivée au chalet. De plus, Daniela a été très gentille et flexible en ce qui concerne notre moment d'arrivée. Nous avons eu du retard, mais le chalet était tout de même chaud et bien préparé. Le chalet est absolument charmant, calme et tout en simplicité, parfait pour un moment de détente dans la nature! Nous avons pu profiter des alentours et de l'île facilement en auto (il faisait un peu trop froid à notre goût pour les vélos et les canots). La terre et la ferme à proximité du chalet est jolie et les couleurs d'automne étaient très belles au moment de notre visite. Nous sommes très satisfaits de notre passage à Richards Landing, merci Daniela! :)

Staying with Daniela was a very nice ending to my month-long road trip across Canada. It was very relaxing and St. Joseph Island is beautiful, the cherry on top was the sauna! I warmly recommend.

The cabin was perfect for us - comfortable and well equipped. It is located just across the street from the lake in a quaint and picturesque community. Daniela was friendly and helpful. She was patient and accommodating when we got delayed the evening of our arrival. We would love to come back and spend more time here.

We had an awesome time here in the Blue Cabin at Maria's cabins. The location was topnotch, the cabin was perfect with a nice living room, loaded kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom and even though Daniela was out of town, we found a handwritten welcome note as well as some fresh farm eggs & maple syrup which I thought was a very nice gesture! Thanks again for hosting us, hopefully we can come back and stay longer next time!

Daniela left us some fresh local eggs and coffee. The place was easy to find, everything was in working order. It was such a relief just to dump our stuff and go directly to the lake with our kayaks. We all slept well--it was so quiet. We wished we could have spent days and days on the island. I'd recommend it for individuals looks for a retreat, couples looking for quiet time in a beautiful setting, and for families.

Daniela and I didn't meet as we got to the house late and left early. However she was very accommodating to us on short notice, which we greatly appreciated, and the cabin was a nice place to stay, the wood stove made it especially cozy.

I had originally booked the Blue Cabin, but it was being renovated and so Daniela offered me the Orange Cabin. It was perfectly cozy and comfortable. Had all the basics necessary for a great stay and since there was no one staying after me she said I could take my time checking out. Daniela was kind and considerate and very welcoming to me and my two dogs. I only wish I had the time to stay longer. It's a perfectly tranquil setting across from a lake. What a gem!

The host canceled this reservation 124 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This place had a beautiful view and had everything we needed. Very clean and tidy. The neighbours were kind and friendly. The house is in a great location as it's close enough to walk into town for restaurants or cure shops but far enough to be private and enjoy our time with friends on the dock. We will definitely recommend this place to others and look forward to returning.

Great view! I was travelling for business and Katharine was very helpful. Easy in and out, I will come back for a non work experience to use the boats and other amenities.

WOW!!WOW!!WOW! What an awesome house with tons of room and such a pretty unobstructed view!! All was exactly as advertised and we will definately be requesting a stay again. Thank you Katherine

We would like to say special thanks to Katherine for hosting us at her home. It was a home away from home as all the necessary required items were already there for us. The location was a million dollar location with stunning sunsets and beautiful mornings. The neighbors were so very welcoming and helped us in every way they can. The backyard was huge with lots of playing space for kids. Overall the experience was superb and we would definitely think of revisiting.

Katherine's place is unbelievable. From the second you pull into the driveway you will be happy. The cabin or should I say home is big, full of light and very clean. Everything was there for us hat we needed and it was our own home away from home. We BBQed, fished, played games in the massive yard and had a fire both nights we were there. It is walking distance to the local ice cream shop, restaurants and shops. Couldn't ask for a better spot to hang out with a bunch of friends for a couple of nights. Would definitely go back!!!

Katherine was absolutely amazing. The place has such a beautiful view. And the beds were very comfortable. What a lovely stay!!

This was such a peaceful, relaxing weekend with gorgeous scenic views. The home is quite large, spacious and very comfortable. Master bedroom king sized bed was super comfortable and I had some of the best sleeps of my life due to the lack of city noise. Will definitely we returning

Great stay! Just as described ! Would stay there again.

Eileen was accommodating and very welcoming. The cottage was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. A good time was had by all.

We were pleasantly surprised at what this cottage has to offer. To say this cottage is well equipped would be an understatement. Our 3 year old had so much to do from the beach, various toys and building blocks in side, to a couple nearby playgrounds. We took the rowboat out for a spin, there's a couple canoes as well, but mostly enjoyed the beach. Just down the road at Sailors Encampment we viewed a freighter making its way northbound through a narrow strait. It was such a treat to view and photograph every sunset directly across the water, absolutely stunning. Eileen is an extraordinary host who really goes far above and beyond to make sure you have everything you'll need for your stay. This cottage is truly a labor of love and it shows. We are very fortunate to have found the three owls cottage.

Delightful, restorative, & inspiring!!! We are a family traveling across the USA (and occasionally dipping into Canada) for eight months while on book tour. Eileen's cabin turned out to be a place we could reach when we had a week and a half to stay in one place. It was one of the most inspiring and restorative times we've spent on this trip. The cottage is cozy and perfectly-equipped for comfort and use, and the surrounding nature is simply spectacular. Every day I wrote and my husband worked while the kids waded, dug in the sand, and roamed freely through a nearby section of woods. In the late afternoon, we would take the canoe out for a paddle, once to a nearby home food restaurant, then return and watch the sunsets from the deck. When the weather turned warm, nothing felt as good as a swim in the lake. The water is calm and refreshing--and there are different views wherever you turn. Birds dive and fish dart. Nature is the best medicine of all--and this cabin has it in abundance. Bring groceries in to cook (or grill or roast over the fire pit), although there are also two very good restaurants within a few miles. Plus a local ice cream shop--try the peanut butter fudge! Eileen couldn't be kinder and more welcoming as a host. She made everything easy, got toys and treats for the kids, and in general, made us feel all at home in Canada!

We loved everything about the Three Owls cottage. Eileen was the best. Everything was there to make our lakeside stay a memorable one. There was never a what do we do now moment during our trip. Luckily we had great weather and all of our days were spent on the private beach. Kayaking, canoeing, and beach baseball filled our days and campfires finished our nights. A return trip for next summer is at the top of our wish list.

Our vacation at Three Owls Cottage was unforgettable. The place is better than on the photos. The beach is big and clean. The cottage is staying directly on the beach ( no road to cross ). You can see children playing while cooking. Eileen and Linda are the best hosts we've ever met, very kind and friendly. There is everything you need : a canoe, a boat, even bikes. Rainy day? No problem. If you decided to stay away from the screen ,there are at least 30 board games and books for all ages We are looking forward to return there again. Thank you very much!

Lovely hosts. No privacy.

Thank you Eileen for a wonderful week of peace and calm. You made us and our family feel very welcome. To others thinking about sharing this lovely hide-a-way - Eileen provides practically everything you could want - games, books, boats, toys, pans, Wi-Fi, movies, music, not to mention the absolutely indispensable PEACE and QUIET. Thank you again

Eileen delayed a planned trip south to welcome us and gave us a full briefing on the property, it's history and general information on the area. We spent an idyllic week enjoying the cottage, beach, canoes and wildlife. The views and sunsets are wonderful. We swam from the sandy beach and found the water very safe, both for boating and swimming. Plenty to do in Sault Ste Marie, both Canadian and US. Going from the Canadian to the US "Soo" was simple although, as UK residents we had to be photoed, fingerprinted and pay 12 USD. We could then go b

Brenda n'était pas très présente à cause de son travail mais elle a réussi à nous faire nous sentir comme chez nous. Le studio est grand et de nombreuses petites attentions de Brenda sont disposées un peu partout. La rue est extrêmement calme et le paysage depuis le port au bout de la rue est à couper le souffle! Je recommande à 100%!

Petit cottage charmant ... Brenda est une personne très gentille et attentionnée. Nous avons passé une nuit sur notre route en direction de la Colombie-Brittannique et nous avons dormis comme des rois dans ce petit oasis de calme. Définitivement un arrêt à faire sur votre route . Meilleur qu'à l'hôtel !

Brenda is a fantastic host and the space is cute and cozy! Everything we could have needed was provided. We felt right at home!

We had a lovely time at Brenda's place.

Clean, cozy, great location. You can walk to the pier and enjoy the shops along the way. Brenda is very accommodating and easily reached if ever you need her. This is where we will stay the next time we are back.

Brenda was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed even though she had to work during our stay. She had hot and cold drinks, slippers, tooth brushes/paste ready for use. The place itself is really beautiful and cozy, the beds are awfully comfortable. Overall, we had an excellent trip. The only regret is that we didn't get to meet Brenda!

Wonderful location, great deal, amazing host.

Awesome place to stay if you are travelling through. Would definitely recommend to anybody!

Martha was such a lovely hostess with so many warm and homey touches. Thank you for the syrup and the coffee was so delish!

Our little family stayed at Martha's stone cottage as our last stop on a 3 week road trip through Ontario and all I can say is WOW! The cottage and its location were perfect. We parked the car when we got there and didn't touch it again until we left. Steps from an ice cream shack, a few more steps to the LCBO and a few more to the grocery store and a five minute walk to the beach. Martha was always super accessible and answered any questions we may have had during our planning process. I would highly recommend the cottage and St. Joseph's island as a stop for anyone looking to disconnect and relax.

The house was well stocked and very clean. We loved it. Corrine

An absolutely stunning building. Spending a quiet night in the backyard and a short walk down the road from a scene view to take your breath away. Richards Landing is idealic and driving around St Joseph's Island was a memorable treat. A cozy cottage all to ourself for a romantic long weekend, we couldn't have asked for better.

A beautiful , well-kept old home in a quaint little city on a pretty island. Martha was not there but had planned our arrival, complète with a bottle of syrup (merci!). Another great airbnb expérience.

It was just a lovely place! All the necessary things were in place and easy to find. It was certainly big enough to accommodate 5 people. Did not get to meet Martha but made sure we were well taken care of. Too bad we only got to stay two nights. Would recommend

We LOVED The Island Stone House and hope to come back. It was just as described. Great Character, Great Location, Slept Well, Quaint Town, Fun Exploring, Wonderful Little Shops, ....didn't lack for anything in the house. Only had one problem and that was that the firepit was full of water from all the previous days rain. Probably would do well to drill some drainage holes? We emptied it and sat it on an angle to drain. Loved all the Pudding Stones. Sure wanted to find one while hiking the beaches. Didn't see a freighter, did see three deer but while looking for a moose saw the most glorious sunset at the bridge....who could be disappointed? We definitely will be back. Thank you for the welcome gift. We bought some St. Joseph coffee to bring home...thank you for the memories. We loved Richards Landing!

Fantastic Quant small historic cottage. Set in the small town of Richards landing.

This cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The screened in porch is my favourite part of the cottage. We were able to watch the sunrise from the deck. There is lots of scenery: birds, boats and the lake. Great place to bike and to see Richard's Landing which has quaint shops, restaurants and an ice cream stand.

Had a great time at Jeff and Alli's place. The view was amazing and even though others are nearby there is still a lot of privacy.

My wife, two daughers, son inlaw,and grand daughter stayed at this cottage fromJuly 8-15. we arrived in late afternoon tofind th huge lawn recently cut, the cottage cleaned, and a kitchen " starter bag" of dish soap and scrub pads which was a nice touch. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises from the screened in front porch, and the huge maples helped keepthe cottage cool during the days. A very large dock is on site, and we were able to leave our boat in the water the entire week. We would definitely recommend this location tofriends in the future.

Une très belle et spacieuse chambre décorée avec goût dans une demeure tout aussi exemplaire. Donald et Carolyn ont été très chaleureux et généreux avec nous de sorte que nous pouvons dire que ce fut un de nos plus agréables souvenirs de ce long voyage entre Vancouver et Montréal.

Carolyn & Donald were wonderful host! They are very warm and loving people and their home was beautiful! Thank you for such a wonderful stay! Highly recommend to stay here! Xx

Clean and beautiful house. They also provide big breakfast for us. Thanks for serving us friendly.

Carolyn and Donald were great hosts. Very hospitable and friendly. Communication was fast. The house and room were clean and as described. We must've missed the information about breakfast being included so we had a pleasant surprise of enjoying Carolyn's homemade cinnamon rolls and jams in the morning. Would def. recommend if you're looking for a quiet place to stay.

Carolyn and Donald waited for us to arrive at their lovely home even though we had arrived around midnight, making us feel right at home immediately. The blinds in the rooms are nice and opaque, allowing for us to sleep until whenever we wanted. The breakfast Carolyn had made was amazing with a wide assortment of jams and syrups! Their house is beautiful and large, and both of them are extremely warm and welcoming. We loved our stay here and would not hesitate to book with them again!

How a beautiful place with lovely decorated, neat & cozy. Carolyn and Donald are hospitable and fantastic hosts. We have a wonderful stay there. We very enjoyed homemade bread and jam, muffin, egg and coffee for breakfast, and had a delicious dinner at a restaurant they suggested. We hope to stay again in the future and would like to recommend to others.

Carolyn and Donald are warm and inviting hosts. Carolinas home made bread, jams and pancakes were a very special treat. Breakfast on the porch was an experience that we won't forget for a long time. The flower gardens were in full bloom and stunning. The house is very large and although there were other guests, we felt we had the ultimate in privacy. Ivan, the household cat, was very friendly and affectionate. We just loved him. We expect to be in Desbarats 2-3 times a year and will definitely book future stays with Donald and Carolyn.

The house is very beautiful and clean, it has everything you need, we were able to cook dinner there. Hans is extremely friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay there!

This was a great place to stay for location and just a beautiful house with great amenities. We were able to cook, clean, lounge and sleep soundly during our visit up North. It was in a safe area and we got there easily enough although one navigation system we were using listed the city as Desbarats and the other listed Tarbutt and Tarbutt Additional. Other navigation systems we have heard list this address in Tarbutt Township. It's a very scenic area all year round so we hope to return.

It's a amazing house! We have a great time there! Hans is very great host, and the house is very clean, the kitchen also very good and the beds are very comfortable. Everything there is perfect. I am very glad to visit the shop of Hans. And there are some beautiful place very close to the house. We want to come there again. Thanks!

Wow! Quel endroit relaxant. Je suis arrivée plus tard que le "couvre-feu" et Jenny et Mike m'attendaient patiemment! Ils sont très sympathique et à l'écoute de leur invité. Simplement pour l'effet relaxant et la vue, ça vaut le détour. Thank you! :)

Sleepy Hollow is in a magical location, with wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome. Although we had never met before booking on AirBnB, we felt like we were visiting good friends at a lakeside cottage. Jenny is an amazing cook and the Chinese dinners were truly spectacular, with some of the vegetables home-grown. We would love to stay again as soon as we can. The little cabin is very cute, and big enough for a very comfortable queen bed and a few other things such as a fridge and gas fire. You wake up to an amazing view and all sorts of wildlife including Blue Herons and Ospreys. There is even the option of an outdoor shower!

This is a beautiful location - calm and peaceful and right on the water. The hosts are friendly and good company. Jenny makes a great breakfast. enjoyed the stay.

Jenny and Michael are wonderful hosts! Her food is scrumptious! Comfortable bed , clean, amazing lake! It's a keeper!

Jenny and Mike were amazing hosts! We only stayed for 1 night, but we wish we could have stayed longer! The view is spectacular, cabin was comfortable, and our hosts were lovely. Very warm and welcoming. We would drive from Alberta again just to stay here again!

Everything about the location and the BNB was even better than we anticipated! Jenny and her husband are the best hosts in the world. Our accommodations were very comfortable and the food excellent! We were treated like special friends! Everything was superb!!! Thank you, Jenny and Michael, for making us feel at home! We hope to see you again!

We loved our stay at Jenny and Mike's lovely home right on the water. We slept very well in our small cottage and we didn't mind the short walk to use the washroom. Jenny offers dinner for a very reasonable extra price and we were so happy we chose to have a Chinese meal. We ate with the family outside on their gorgeous deck. Mike cheerfully offered travel advice amidst other lively and genial topics of conversation. After dinner Mike made a campfire for us. Delightful. This was one of our best experiences with Airbnb ever.

Hard to find

A secluded and quiet cabin. There were so many mosquitoes it was difficult to be outside. This may have just been the time of year.

Home is really good but at remote place. Closest gas station is 20 miles away. No wifi no cell phone network. House is really nice n clean. Locating house in night is really difficult for 1st time comers.

Our second time at this house. We had just as much fun as last time. A pretty awesome Up North experience. Not luxurious, but very nice, out of the way and a perfect refuge from the world for a few days! And perfect hosts. Thanks!!!

Everything went great this weekend! Communication with our host was perfect, prompt and hepful. Check in and out were super easy. The Home was very nice (stellar actually compared to some UP destinations) and offered exactly the solitude and relaxation we were seeking. Lets face it folks, if you are looking for nightlife this place is a hundred miles the wrong way. Go here to be here. This was an excellent starting point for a day of UP touring though. One note, the beach is not really a swimming beach. Reeds and shallow, just as pictured in the listing. Our dogs LOVED it. We were perfectly happy with a couple lawn chairs on the deck!

Great secluded location. The weather was hot but the breeze off the lake was great.

We got absolutely everything we expected...and more! We saw multiple freighters cross through the channel and enjoyed bonfires on the beach. The location is perfect; especially for those boating, as the Raber Bay Boat Launch is right down the road. We did have a problem with the water heater, but it was replaced the next day. This is a perfect family get-a-way property. We expect to be return customers.

Great communication. Nice quite place. Thanks Evan!

great location. Very relaxing lay out of cabin. Fab views. Evan is very helpful -re information about area etc and can be reached by text or phone if needed. The location is stunning even in April when the weather was colder. The small sandy beach at the edge of the water will make this place idyllic for summer holidays. the property was very clean and although the decor is not very modern it is very charming. We came all the way from Scotland and had a wonderful relaxing holiday watching the ships go past, squirrels playing in the woods and enjoyed the peace and quiet !!

Clean and quiet. If you are looking to relax you have to stay here. We can't wait to come back.

I did not get to meet Aurora but her communication was great. She responded to all of my inquiries and gave me all of the information necessary for a smooth check-in. Her mom, Nancy, stopped by when I arrived to welcome me and let me know they were right down the road if I needed anything. The rustic cabin was wonderful!! It has everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The view from the front deck is amazing. I would definitely return! GPS note: Garmin could not locate the address but (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps got me within a few hundred feet of the driveway.

Aurora and her father Ian were great hosts. We arrived to an unlocked and ready to relax cabin. We took our time unwinding and met Aurora and Ian after a dinner suggestion at Bobbers in town which was fantastic. We only wish we stayed longer as this was only an overnighter so we could continue our journey out West. The views, the absolute quiet, and the quintessential cottage atmosphere should invite anyone passing through. We will be back!

Our stay at this cabin was delightful. The perfect place to rest surrounded by nature. Aurora and her parents were so welcoming and went above and beyond to share their property with us. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Very lovely cottage in the middle of nature. Looks very authentic and warm. Thanks to Aurora!

Very calming and peaceful cabin. We LOVED it. We had everything we needed. I would return.

The cabin is quiet and surrounded nature but there is no beach access. The beach is a 20 minute drive away. The picture showing the water is deceiving and the water access from the cabin is only if you have a kayak or canoe because the water front is muddy and full of seaweed. Waking up to the sounds of nature was relaxing. The neighbours were in eye distance but far enough away that there is privacy at the cabin. If you enjoy BBQing while at camp bring your own because there is only an inside stove and it really heats up the cabin while cooking inside. Over all it was a nice place but would probably not stay again because of the lack of water/beach access.

such a great little cabin. the location was beautiful. a warm fire was burning in the stove when we arrived.

What a wonderful find just minutes off the highway. This century home has been beautifully restored to create a comfortable and unique guest experience. Thoughtfully decorated throughout, comfortable bed, cozy sitting rooms, dinning room and kitchen are amazing. Kim was the perfect host, we really enjoyed our stay with her! This was beyond our expectations - don't miss out!!
