Find your happy place at the First on Elmslie, a country oasis with a lush yard and private lake beach. Sip a glass of wine in front of the fireplace, admire Lake Huron's blue waters from the shore, or curl up in an armchair and gaze out at the greenery. Spend mornings listening to birdsong over breakfast, afternoons go for a hike, and evenings together watching the sunset.

INSIDE
Cottage is open concept. A spacious and fully equipped kitchen means every chef in the group can lend a hand in preparing meals. Dine al fresco or in a sunny nook, then retire to the living area to relax and reconnect.

Gather around the gas fireplace play a game. Or chill with your bestie in the separate sitting area overlooking lake.

WiFi is available, though most guests opt to pore over novels in front of the fireplace or grab a cold drink from the beverage fridge and a handcrafted board game from the Michaud Toys collection. You'll also have access to all the necessary amenities, including a washer and dryer.

NOTE: there is no TV but feel free to bring your own device. WIFI speed is approx 50mpbs

OUTSIDE
Make a fire in the backyard, grill up some steaks, and gossip over a cup of hot chocolate.

NOTE: depending on water levels there may be a small amount of beach but there is always lots of beach on the wall (see pics there's lots of room to play and chillax) Although there is access to the beach, it can be slippery.
Take approx 80 stairs down your private access to the lake. The lakebed can be sandy or stoney depending on what the lake gives you that day. But it sure is fun to try to find the ever changing sandbars. Even if it's stoney...it's fun to go stone collecting - Lake Huron is a geologists paradise! Just bring some water shoes. The nice thing is, it's not weedy or slimy at all.

EXPERIENCE BAYFIELD
With wooded trails, scenic country vistas, and stunning Lake Huron, Bayfield is a beautiful place to explore no matter the season. Bring your hiking boots and plan a trip during leaf-peeping season for a display of color. Several weeks later, the snow starts to fall and guests can enjoy the quiet of winter and crunch through the
snow in evergreen forests or try out the snowshoe trails on the river flats.

You're just five minutes from White Squirrel Golf Club with winter hiking trails and winter golf for those die-hard links lovers. Explore downtown Bayfield, just two minutes away, browsing the unique boutiques and stopping for a hot coffee at one of the quaint cafes. We're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, including Dark Horse Estate Winery with a tasting room. If you prefer hops over vines, Bayfield River Road Brewing has an outdoor tasting room to enjoy the craft brews.

ABOUT YOUR HOST
I'm Jennifer, I started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.
