Just a stone throw away from the shores of Lake Huron, this cozy, light-filled home offers everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The home sleeps up to six guests comfortably but the true magic of this property lives in its connection to the outdoors. The front porch offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the lake—perfect for slow mornings with coffee or catching the sky light up at sunset. Welcome to your private retreat tucked along the peaceful shores of Lake Huron in the charming cottage community of Oliphant, Ontario. This cozy lakeside bungalow offers a restful escape for up to six guests, just a two-minute walk (less than 200 meters) to the crystal-clear waters and sandy beach of Lonely Island Beach. Whether you're here for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or a quiet trip with friends, this home is ideally situated to enjoy the best of Bruce Peninsula living — with Sauble Beach only a 5-minute drive away and endless shoreline trails, sunsets, and wildlife at your doorstep. From the moment you arrive, the property draws you in with its calm, natural setting and unobstructed lake views directly from the expansive front porch. Watch the sun melt into the horizon while sipping wine in an Adirondack chair or step out with your morning coffee as the day begins across the water. The home’s elevated front porch faces west, giving you prime access to some of the most unforgettable sunsets Lake Huron has to offer — all without leaving the comfort of your own space. Inside, the home is airy and bright, with clean lines, light-toned floors, and large windows that let the outdoors in. The open-concept living room is anchored by a beautiful fusion-stone fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings after a day of swimming or exploring. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals with ease, including modern appliances, cookware, and a dining area that invites connection and conversation. Two bedrooms offer cozy beds with soft linens, and a third flexible space functions as either a den or extra sleeping area, making this a great layout for families or small groups. A full bathroom with a shower, plus in-suite laundry, adds everyday convenience. But what really sets this property apart is the connection to nature. Out back, you’ll find a traditional cedar woodfire barrel sauna — an ideal way to warm up after a dip in the lake or unwind under the stars. The backyard is private and serene, surrounded by trees and open skies, with plenty of space to relax, grill, or gather with friends. There’s also ample parking for up to four vehicles, making it easy to bring bikes, paddleboards, or your weekend gear. Oliphant itself is a quiet, family-friendly area known for its shallow, warm waters, epic kiteboarding conditions, and relaxed vibe. The lakefront is perfect for wading, swimming, or launching a kayak — and the surrounding area offers scenic drives, trails, and hidden beaches waiting to be explored. In under 15 minutes, you can be in downtown Sauble Beach with access to restaurants, ice cream shops, and summer events, or venture further north toward Tobermory and the Grotto for an unforgettable day trip. Whether you're looking for quiet mornings by the lake, sunset sauna sessions, or a basecamp to explore the wild beauty of the Bruce Peninsula, The Lookout Bay offers an inviting blend of comfort, nature, and location. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and stay just a little longer. The guests will have access to the entire property inside and out.

The spot was absolutely beautiful with a quiet sandy beach just a few steps away and an amazing view of Lake Huron sunsets. Lonely Island beach was a short 2 minute drive or a lovely 10 minute stroll. These beaches are perfect for kids as they are shallow and our kids loved walking out far from the shoreline. The cottage was quaint, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed! Kourtney was an awesome host and always available to answer any questions. Sauble Beach is about a 10 minute drive and Tobermory just an hour away. We made some amazing memories this week. Thank you Kourtney! ##### Marysabel G. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Judith K. 14 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location The outdoor facilities and the location were excellent. Beautiful views, great deck, backyard and garden, sauna, and fire pit--all as described.But the indoors were very cramped for 6 people, and the common area poorly furnished. The sofa bed in the living room was only really usable as a bed, too awkward for sitting on. There were no armchairs, so deck chairs had to be brought inside. This is a cottage for beautiful outdoor conditions, not comfortable for evenings and being indoors when it rains. Beds were comfortable, but the rooms too small to leave a suitcase open, and only one hook in each for hanging clothes on the wall. The home really does not properly accommodate a family group comfortably. With proper furnishings and more wall hooks, not to mention a frying pan which was never provided although requested, we would consider returning, but not as the furnishings now stand. ##### Judith K. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam F. 6 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great basic cottage, everything available as detailed in listing. Had a couple of issues with cottage fixtures but host was really fantastic and replied extremely quickly to any questions, and helped resolve issues very well. Great location, really enjoyed crossing the street to the beach at night for walks and beautiful sunsets. The bunkie was very warm and cosy and very comfortable beds. 10 minute drive to downtown and beach. ##### Adam F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025
