The cottage is located on a cul-de-sac, 15 minutes drive from Tobermory. Nature surrounds the cottage. The unique area is known as an Alvar. The Alvar is a biological environment with sparse vegetation and rare flora. Bears are nearby, care must be taken to not encourage bears. No garbage outside at any time. Rattlesnakes are also around but are shy and rare to encounter. Always hike with hiking boots!
Please bring water shoes! The water is crystal clear, and beautiful to swim in, the shore is rocky.
