There's a moment — right when you walk through the door — when the whole Great Room opens up in front of you. Floor-to-ceiling windows. The lake, straight ahead. Light everywhere. That feeling is why guests book Blue Bluff Beauty. This lakefront home sits on the bluffs five minutes south of Bayfield, with the world-renowned Lake Huron sunsets laid out in front of you from multiple perches: the fire pit, the back porch, and that big bright room that somehow makes the lake feel like part of the furniture.
For families and groups who want everyone in the same room — this is that cottage.
INSIDE
The Great Room is sunny, expansive, and generous — the kind of open-concept space where the cooking and the conversation and the card games all happen at once. At the center of it: a huge round dining table that seats 7, the kind you don't stop talking around. The gas fireplace anchors the room when the evenings cool down. Off the kitchen, a separate den with a pullout sectional gives the kids their own space for games and puzzles — which means the grownups actually get the Great Room to themselves.
SLEEPING SPACES
Premier bedroom is upstairs, complete with King bed and private ensuite bathroom with tub and separate shower.
BR #2 is on the main floor with a Queen bed.
BR #3 has a Single over Single bunk and Single over Double bunkbed
Den has sectional with pullout Double bed.
3 Piece Bathroom on the Main Floor
NOTE: Playpen/Highchair available upon request
OUTSIDE
The sun loungers on the back deck are where the afternoon goes. The lake is right there in front of you, the light shifts, and nobody's in a hurry. This is the nap that fixes things — warm, unhurried, with the sound of the waves doing all the work.
When the weather calls for it — or even when it doesn't — the screened porch with its two skylights and mood lighting becomes the dinner table. It's sheltered, atmospheric, and completely its own thing. Evening meals here last longer than they should.
The fire pit on the bluff is where everyone ends up once the sun goes down. S'mores, wine, the kind of easy laughter that only happens when nobody has to be anywhere. As Peter put it: "there was always a new place to sit and enjoy the view." The fire pit is the last stop.
The new lake stairs (added 2025) take you down approximately 80 steps to your private stretch of Lake Huron. The lakebed shifts between sandy and stoney depending on what the lake is giving you that day — sandbars generally appear 3 feet out, the water is clean and clear, and the stone collecting is genuinely excellent. A geologist's paradise, a kid's afternoon obsession. Bring water shoes.
Note: 2025 -Newly Added stairs to access the Lake, right in your backyard - Approx. 80 stairs 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. Generally you will find sand 3ft out. 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
The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it’s easy to experience each day to its fullest. Take a short drive to the village downtown, to fine exquisite dining restaurants/bars and cafes, to pub fare to fine dining. Many boutique shops to browse that unique find, or one-of-a-kind art pieces. See the sights of Bayfield, such as the splash pad at Clan Gregor Sq., Pioneer park for a pickup game of volleyball, or the shores of gorgeous Lake Huron for a beach day. Follow up with the best sunsets in Ontario! Bring your kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, boat, hiking shoes and escape to some good adventures and make memories!
Visit during the off-season to catch favorite annual events like VetteFest or for a girl's getaway weekend—we're happy to suggest our favorite local spas, wineries and breweries, shops, and yoga classes.
Bayfield is a “Blue Community” - visitors won’t find bottled water in public facilities or at events but they will find a portable refillable water bottle station operated by pedal-power and five water bottle refill stations at public facilities located throughout the village.
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.
