Willowcrest - Lake front with Private Lake Access

The name comes from the willow tree on the beach. It's a perfect place to spend the day on the beach under a willow tree!

Cottage is open concept. There is a sun room as well as Great Room with wood burning fireplace in the center.
Kitchen is a dream! Clean and bright - even doing dishes is not a chore because the sink overlooks the lake!
There is also a firepit where the family can gather round and watch the sunset, eat s'mores and tell loads of ghost stories. Lots of space for everyone!

INSIDE
There is a huge wraparound the front deck. Cottage is open concept. There is a sun room as well as Great Room with wood burning fireplace. Sun room has pullout sectional. And in the living area of Great room there is another couch and loveseat with large Smart TV for movie nights. Lots of space for everyone!

Kitchen is a dream! Clean and bright - even doing dishes is not a chore because the sink overlooks the lake!

OUTSIDE
NEW Stairs installed to the water. The beach in front of the cottage is gravelly but changes after every storm. There is also a second beach entrance at the end of the street.
Outdoor hot/cold shower
Lots of parking, lots of grassy outdoor areas, a playground and 2 kayaks

NOTE: 2024 there is very little beach. Approx, 60 stairs to the beach. The water 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.

ABOUT YOUR HOST
I'm Jennifer, I'm under Lake Huron's spell, and I know you will be, too. I started Cottage Stays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace and enjoying Huron County's natural beauty and thriving communities. Your peace of mind is my priority, and I'm here to help make sure you have the best vacation possible.

EXPLORE GRAND BEND AND BAYFIELD
The pace of life slows down in Bayfield. When you vacation here, it's easy to experience each day to its fullest. Clan Gregor Square is the heart of our quaint community where many local festivals/carshows and you won't want to miss the farmers market in season. Pioneer Park is another local favorite—kids will love cooling down at the splash pad.

Both Grand Bend and Bayfield are within a 10-minute drive of the cottage, making it easy to stroll Bayfield's quaint Main Street (and catch one of the world's best sunsets at Pioneer Park) or take to the water in Grand Bend with its sandy beaches and watersport rentals. Sample both Grand Bend's nightlife and Bayfield's boutique shopping, and visit the farmers markets in either town to pick up local ingredients for dinner. Or let someone else do the cooking—both towns have plenty of options, from fine dining to casual pub fare.

WillowCrest - Relaxing with gorgeous sunsets!

We stayed for 1 week at WillowCrest in early July. The lake house was impeccably clean, well decorated and had everything we needed! The covered porch and breakfast bar were our favourite spots to hang out & watch the sunrise or the spectacular sunsets. The stairs to the beach were a bit steep for our elderly visitors so they enjoyed the view from the top. We used the adjoining hill to go to the beach with our dog. We visited the nearby town Bayfield and enjoyed its shops & dog-friendly patios! But, all in all, we had all we needed at WillowCrest and enjoyed our time there relaxing and taking in the gorgeous view.

This cottage is a perfect family retreat with stunning views, excellent privacy, top-notch amenities, and great accessibility features

We had the pleasure of staying at Willowcrest Cottage and were thoroughly impressed. The location offers unparalleled privacy with a massive lot and an expansive decking featuring fantastic outdoor spaces. The wheelchair ramp was a game changer for our son, who had a wonderful time thanks to the thoughtful accessibility features. The cottage was well-stocked with top-notch amenities, making meal prep easy and allowing more time outdoors. The view was excellent, and the easement providing lake access for our mobility-challenged son was appreciated. The stairs to the beach and the landing by the water was a favorite spot, as was the gazebo with comfortable seating that made sunset views unforgettable. Clean, tidy, and beautifully decorated, Willowcrest Cottage is a true piece of paradise—we would definitely return and highly recommend it!
