Beautiful cottage in a great setting.

A beautiful well equipped cottage that encourages relaxation. The antique furniture enhances the beautiful woodwork and crown moldings. The gazebo adds an extra touch to be able to enjoy the outdoors without the bugs. Now if only the weather had co-operated it would have been a perfect vacation.

Thanks so much for your lovely review. We’re glad you enjoyed the Stonehouse, its character, and the gazebo (it’s one of our favourite spots too). If only we could control the weather! We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.

Always perfect

If you want to bask in the beauty of a mid 1800's home, Barefoot is the place for you. Early May is the perfect time to visit, a little cool, but that's what I like and entirely mosquito free on the island. I highly recommend this home as the base for your visit to Canada’s rustic and hospitable island. Much love to all the residents and shops that keep the Pelee spirit alive.

Thank you so much for the lovely review, and for choosing Barefoot as your home base on Pelee. We are thrilled you enjoyed the charm and character of our Stonehouse. We also appreciate your kind words about the island community.  You are welcome back anytime.

Lovely Weekend

We had a lovely weekend on Pelee Island last weekend. We stayed at the StoneHouse. It is a charming, old stone house right by the water. There is a little deck over looking the water which was nice to sit on for morning coffee. Very peaceful. Beds were comfy.

Thank you for your lovely review of the Stonehouse! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting and cozy comforts. That morning coffee on the deck sounds perfect! We hope to welcome you back to Pelee soon.

Great location

Our third time renting this cottage; this time we had another couple join us for part of the trip. The cottage is spacious and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well-supplied. The location on the north side of the island is perfect - walkable to a restaurant to the west and, to the east, the co-op store and a few other shops. A waterside deck is perfect for relaxing.

Thank you for choosing our cottage for the third time! We're so glad you found it spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. It’s wonderful to hear the location worked perfectly for your group.  We look forward to welcoming you again.

Stone Cottage Stay

This was my first time on the island, and it was a treat. My gal pal and I enjoyed our stay at this historic cottage. Clean and easy check-in process. Loved the wine and snacks. We brought our bikes and loved cycling around.

Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your first visit to the island and had a great stay at the Stonehouse.

Stone Cottage Visit

This was our first visit to Pelle Island, so we were unsure what to expect. As we had our vehicle, the location of the cottage was good, although it was a few kilometres from the ferry site. The cottage itself was wonderful. It was an immaculately maintained historical property located near the water. We enjoyed our two-night stay and would highly recommend the site and owners. We did note that on our last day, a for-sale sign was posted, so if anyone is looking for a great investment property, here is your opportunity.

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your first visit to Pelee and had a great stay at the Stonehouse.

Retired

We (2 older couples) stayed in the bungalow for 3 nights during the first week of June. Relaxing and peaceful. We made full use of the screened in front porch and the dock across the street. The cottage was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. We were very impressed. We really enjoyed the "island atmosphere" and would highly recommend this cottage.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so glad you had a relaxing and peaceful stay, and that the porch, lakeside deck, and island vibe added to your experience.

Wonderfully Warm and Cozy Cottage

My wife and I have stayed at the Stone Cottage numerous times over the years. And each time it has been a wonderful experience - clean, organized, warm and cozy, situated with a beautiful view. Highly recommend! Five Stars!

Clean and comfortable

A lovely, very clean and well-stocked cottage with many choices of places to enjoy the days. Back deck was sunny and bbq for dinners, screened in front porch for morning coffee and reading and Adirondack chairs on the lake deck for evening wine and cheese. Mattresses so comfortable we ordered one for our guest room at home. Dog and goat restaurant an easy walk and longer walks every day down to vin villa in one direction and Coop and North dock in the other. A relaxing, peaceful visit on our favourite island.

Wow, what an incredible review of the Bungalow and the highlights of our location on Pelee!  Thanks so much for sharing :)

Home away from home

This year marked our fourth stay and the bungalow and we love it! The cottage is both cozy and deceptively large making it an excellent place for a family. Thank you Andrea and Alex for sharing such a beautiful spot on Pelee with your guests.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We absolutely love hosting your family and are thrilled to hear that you continue to enjoy the Bungalow and our property. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
