Wonderful!
We were absolutely delighted with our choice! The property is in a fantastic location, so close to the water and beautifully quiet, surrounded by nature but with quick access by car to Tobermory. The property is spotless, cozy yet modern and extremely well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the kayaks and sitting beside the fire gazing up at a sky full of stars. Dave and Tim are wonderful hosts, extremely thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable. Truly, this is a gem and we'll definitely return!

I cannot say enough about the beautiful location and comfortable and clean accommodations. Dave and Tim are amazing hosts who care very much about making their guests happy and at home. The property and waterfront are incredible, secluded and the house is not too far away from local restaurants and attractions. My teens and I have already talked about when we will be back!

Tim and Dave are wonderful hosts, very attentive and helpful. They have everything well organized from water shoes handy to go kayaking to outdoor furniture cushions and fireplace set up etc. The property is stunning and quiet, you can see the sun rise and the sun set. The harbour and restaurants in Tobermory are just minutes away. We had a great time there!

Best trip ever!!
Dave and Tim were so kind to my family! We felt like we were visiting long time friends. There is a wonderful energy and love that they shared with us for their home and property. My kids loved learning about the land and playing on the “paw”. The amenities were cozy, clean, and made us feel at home. We will definitely be back!! Oh, and if you love fluffy clean white towels and crisp sheets, this is your place!! The compost bowl was also a hit for my kids, they loved being able to add to the beautiful garden! Thank you Dave and Tim!!

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 third stay in this little paradise!
Just got back from yet another amazing stay with Dave, Tim and Cinder at North Paw! Morning coffee in our PJs standing on the alvar overlooking the bay with sunshine on our faces, fantastic kayak trips in the clearest of waters checking out the nearby shipwreck of the Avalon Voyager II, great hikes, abundant wildlife and camp fires to finish off the day. We just LOVE the simplicity and peace and quiet here. It's the perfect place to truly disconnect and recharge our batteries. Bliss.
