About this property

The Louise - Artistic Haven by the Beach

Revel in the comfort of the loft-style living room with a soaring ceiling, a welcoming brick fireplace, and a cosy reading nook. Each corner brims with artistic touches and homely warmth, from the vibrant tapestries to the charmingly eclectic furniture. Whether it's basking in the natural light flooding through large windows or stargazing through the telescope, inspiration is endless.

    Oliphant is a community rich in history and deeply connected to the cultural foundations of the Bruce Peninsula. The area lies within the lands covered by Treaty 72, signed on October 13, 1854, by First Nations living on what was then known as the Saugeen Peninsula and representatives of the Crown. This treaty encompasses much of what is now called the Bruce Peninsula and is sometimes referred to as the Bruce Peninsula Treaty. The region continues to hold strong cultural and historical significance today.

    Set along the shores of Lake Huron just north of Sauble Beach, Oliphant is now best known as a hub for outdoor recreation and laid-back lakeside living. Its shallow waters and steady winds have made it one of Ontario’s most popular destinations for kiteboarding, drawing visitors from across the province. The Oliphant Fen Boardwalk offers a quieter way to experience the area, winding through a unique wetland ecosystem filled with rare plants, birdlife, and interpretive signage.

    The community itself is small, friendly, and focused on enjoying the outdoors. Local amenities include a marina and dock, playground equipment, a dog park, and excellent swimming areas along the shoreline. Wide-open skies, calm beaches, and spectacular sunsets over Lake Huron define daily life here.

    Oliphant appeals especially to outdoor enthusiasts, families, and anyone seeking a relaxed alternative to busier beach towns. With its blend of historical importance, natural beauty, and recreation opportunities, Oliphant offers a meaningful and memorable Bruce Peninsula experience rooted in both land and community.

Great place!

We really enjoyed staying here. The house was a good size and very comfortable, and the location was great. Perfect for a family vacation. We would stay here again.

Exactly what we hoped for

My favorite part of our booking was that, when we showed up, the cabin looked and felt exactly as it did in the photos online. To top it off, the host left a fantastic record collection and some tasty chocolates. Rent this cabin if you're looking for seclusion, as its a drive to most of the nearby towns and parks. However, we had a great time taking our dog walking out on Oliphant beach and Wiarton is 10 mins away and has a spectacular coffee shop/hiking trail. Just my wife and I stayed but you could comfortably fit probably 4 adults and 2-3 kids, in my opinion.

It was just like in the photos. Welcoming, tidy, and easy to check in. The ceiling fans kept the cottage cool and comfortable even in mid July. Beds were soft and plenty of towels were available. Responses from the owner were quick. Water is potable, but make sure you bring your own jugs. We loved that we could bring our dog to enjoy the vacation, and the dog beach was just a short walk away.

The cottage was very clean, well maintained, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was friendly, responsive, and communication was smooth throughout our trip. Unfortunately, we experienced power outages on two consecutive evenings. Since the water supply also went out with the power, we couldn’t shower, cook, or even flush the toilet, which had a significant impact on our family vacation. Aside from the unexpected outages, the property itself was excellent.

Best place to stay

Thank you for the wonderful stay. The house was very accommodating with things we weren't even expecting! This was our family's first ever cottage trip and we plan to hopefully do this yearly. We will gladly recommend you to our friends and family!

The weather did not cooperate. We had a downpour for the first full day and a very cloudy, sort of "off" day for our 2nd full day. We made the most of it and despite the fact that the water was waaaaay down and the Boys were almost too far out to be seen and still only up to above their ankles in water on Oliphant's beach, we made our way into Sauble and they climbed on the Ascent Aerial place for almost 2 hours and took a quick chilly dip at Sauble Beach before we wandered back to the cottage to make dinner. Then another night of movies on the couch. We had fun regardless of the weather.
