Situated on the shores of Cameron Lake, the Lakehouse offers a rare inland-lake setting just seven minutes from Tobermory Village. Cameron Lake is especially unique on the Bruce Peninsula, known for its gradual sandy shoreline and firm lake bottom—an uncommon combination that makes swimming easy and enjoyable for all ages.

Roughly half of Cameron Lake’s shoreline remains undeveloped and protected as part of Bruce Peninsula National Park, creating a peaceful, natural environment with minimal boat traffic and abundant wildlife. The lake connects directly to Cyprus Lake, allowing guests to paddle by canoe or kayak straight into the national park and experience its pristine landscapes from the water. Motorized boats are not permitted, preserving the calm, clear conditions that define the lake.

Easy access to Bruce Peninsula National Park is available at the end of nearby Beach Road, where a network of hiking trails begins. From here, guests can explore forest paths, inland lakes, and scenic routes that lead all the way to Singing Sands Beach. These trails are well loved for their quiet beauty, birdlife, and connection to the peninsula’s unique ecosystems.

Despite the tranquil setting, the Lakehouse remains close to everything Tobermory has to offer. A short drive brings you to the harbour village with its shops, cafés, restaurants, and boat tours to Flowerpot Island and Fathom Five National Marine Park. This balance of seclusion and convenience makes Cameron Lake an ideal base for both relaxation and exploration.

The Lakehouse offers a rare opportunity to enjoy sandy swimming, direct national park access, and peaceful lake life—all within minutes of one of Ontario’s most iconic destinations.

Cameron Lakehouse transforms into a stunning winter retreat, offering cozy comfort and breathtaking views of snow-covered Cameron Lake. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms—including a master ensuite with a soothing jacuzzi tub—it’s the ideal getaway for families, groups, or anyone seeking peaceful winter relaxation.

Step into the open-concept Chef’s Kitchen, dining area, and living room, where vaulted ceilings and a spectacular wall of windows frame the serene winter landscape. The wood-burning fireplace (available in the off-season) adds the perfect touch of warmth and ambiance, making it a favorite gathering spot after days spent exploring the snowy surroundings.

The finished lower level provides even more space to unwind, with a comfortable family room, two additional bedrooms, and a dedicated workspace complete with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse—perfect for remote work or cozy winter productivity.

Outdoors, the property becomes a quiet winter haven. Enjoy the beautiful back lawn blanketed in snow, sip hot drinks on the deck or inside the screened gazebo, and watch kids play around the charming children’s playhouse. The horseshoe pit becomes a fun snowy play area, while the dock and gradual sandy shoreline offer a peaceful setting for winter photography, stargazing, or simply enjoying the crisp lakeside air.

Whether you’re soaking in the jacuzzi after a chilly day outside, gathering by the fire, or admiring the frozen lake from the living room’s expansive windows, Cameron Lakehouse offers a magical winter escape surrounded by natural beauty and complete comfort.

We would definitely stay again. My biggest complaint is that we didn't stay longer LOL. Communication with the host was overall pretty good. But we weren't able to fill out the form for the kayaks/paddle boards prior to our trip (coming from 3x different provinces). There was no form left for us, as noted... but we managed to get it printed (in the office of the house), signed it and sent it off to them to get the code. Unfortunately, we didn't get a response with the access code (a digital form would be helpful in this aspect). Overall, a great place to stay & we wish that we would have booked a longer visit there.

Lovely cottage on the lake

This is a lovely cottage on a lake - lots of space outside to enjoy the view and the water. The rooms were comfortable and well furnished. We love the Bruce Peninsula and this was the perfect location to explore the area. There are trails accessible from the end of the road or a short drive away in the parks. The lake is clean and a great for paddling and swimming. Highly recommend this cottage and hope to return.

During my stay, I really enjoyed the homey feel this cottage had to it. Very homey yet modern and well maintained. We also really enjoyed the amenities. It was one of the best stay’s so far. There is enough parking for everyone, the house was very clean with not a single insect in sight and every corner was cleaned to perfection. The place was equipped with everything you could think of and more. Overall, a very enjoyable and peaceful experience. Totally recommend!

Great place to stay

My family of 7 had an incredible time at this property. From the second we walked in we knew we were at a great place. The host left some gifts of local coffee, honey, and chocolates. The house was spacious and clean. The lake which was 15 feet from the house was a great place to relax, kayak, and swim. Just a really great property to stay at.
