We (group of 4 adults) had the best time with Dave and Tim at North Paw. The unit was spacious, clean, and had plenty of amenities. The cottage is about a 10 minute drive from Tobermory and about 25 minutes from the national park. The cottage location is great, the unit is right on the water with access to trails and the lake. We were able to swim in the lake even though in was early June. We enjoyed using the kayaks.We were also able to use the fire pit which had great seating and lots of firewood available for us to use. The sky was very clear and we were able to see lots of stars. Thank you to Dave for letting us use his binoculars and for teaching us about the constellations and planets that are visible from North Paw. Ultimately, Dave and Tim’s hospitality is like no other. We felt extremely welcome and well taken care of. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and were always available to answer our questions and chat with us. We left North Paw with lovely memories and new friends. We hope to come back soon!

Comfortable and well decorated apartment in a beautiful location. Really really beautiful. Kitchen was small - but we anticipated that and didn't plan on cooking there a bunch. Great location. Dave and Tim were great hosts. They had so many things for guests' use like kayaks for all four of us, water shoes, sunscreen, beach towels, etc. We would love to come back!

Lovely place. The hosts were excellent. Accommodations one of the best we have ever had. Kayaking was a main goal and with four to pick from… kayaking heaven. Nice small downtown with restaurant choices plus a grocery store not too far away PLUS a garden to pick tomatoes from!! We had a true vacation.

Our stay at North Paw was absolutely wonderful. The property is shaped like a palm hand, surrounded by beautiful, clear water that felt calm and refreshing every day. The cottage itself was clean, cozy, and made us feel right at home. We especially enjoyed our evenings by the campfire—it became a special part of our trip. The natural setting was alive with blue jays and other birds, which made the mornings and afternoons so peaceful and enjoyable. Overall, it was the perfect place for relaxation, fun, and creating memories. We truly appreciate the care the owners have put into making this such a welcoming and beautiful spot. We can’t wait to return!”
