*New Outdoor Sauna* - Steamy Retreat

Welcome to Lakeside Layover, your ultimate winter escape for relaxation and rejuvenation. Nestled just steps from the serene shores of Lake Huron and Bayfield's charming Main Street, this cozy retreat offers the perfect setting to unwind and recharge during the colder months.

The highlight of your stay? Our outdoor cedar sauna, where you can relax and let the stress melt away while surrounded by nature's peaceful beauty. Afterward, snuggle up by one of the two fireplaces with a warm drink or enjoy the spacious game room for some indoor fun.

The large yard is perfect for playing games like cornhole and ladderball, or shooting hoops on the basketball net. You'll also have access to 2 16” bicycles and 2 scooters, as well as 2 kayaks and a paddleboard with life jackets. Relax in a comfortable chair around the fire pit and enjoy smores and ghost stories. Take a stroll on the beach or go for a paddleboard on the lake, take the family for ice cream up town, this place is setup for fun!!
Plus, we've recently added an electric heated sauna for you to relax and unwind after a day of adventure. Step inside and let the warmth envelop you, easing away the stresses of the day.
NOTE: No Hot tub - Has Outdoor Sauna

NOTE: Lake access is steps away on Tuyll street. The lakebed 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. Generally you will find sand 3ft out. 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 started CottageStays to share my own home with like-minded travelers who appreciate escaping to life at a slower pace. I've never forgotten how lucky I am to call Lake Huron home. Now more than ever, everyone is in need of the kind of peace and quiet that escaping to the lake can bring. It's my absolute privilege to be the one to provide families and friends a special place to gather and create memories while exploring an area so near and dear to me.

A great time was had by everyone!
Lakeside Layover was a perfect fit for our family. It was beautifully furnished and very clean. Everything that we needed was provided. Lots of space for together time as well as time apart. Everyone enjoyed playing pickle ball, basketball, pingpong. Location was excellent; walking distance to beach and main street of Bayfield. We enjoyed campfires every night. The dogs enjoyed fetching in the water, and playing in the yard. Our sincere thanks to Jennifer, Lea, and Shauna! They were extremely helpful in providing all of the necessary details, as well as answering our questions. The only reason we gave it 4 stars was because of the master tub/shower; the tub was narrow, and had no handles to safely shower as well as enter and exit tub.
