Miller Lake Maple Retreat is set in a quiet, nature-first pocket of the Bruce Peninsula where life slows down and the landscape takes centre stage. The neighbourhood is lightly developed and peaceful, made up of cottages and year-round homes tucked among mature trees. Long stretches of forest and shoreline create a sense of privacy and space, with little traffic, dark night skies, and a stillness that’s hard to come by elsewhere.
Miller Lake is the heart of the area. This inland lake is known for its clear water and relaxed atmosphere, making it ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. Mornings are especially serene, with glassy water, birdsong, and a pace that encourages coffee on the deck before the day begins. Even during peak summer, the lake retains a calm, local feel rather than a busy resort vibe.
Beyond the shoreline, you’re surrounded by classic Bruce Peninsula scenery—rugged limestone features, cedar and maple forest, and winding backroads that invite exploration. The location is ideal for day trips, with Lion’s Head’s dramatic cliffs and harbour views a short drive away, and Tobermory’s shops, restaurants, and boat tours within easy reach. Access to the Bruce Trail and nearby hikes makes it easy to set out for lookout points, hidden beaches, and quiet woodland paths.
Each season brings its own charm. Summer is all about lake days and long evenings by the fire, fall fills the forest with colour, winter brings a cozy sense of retreat and snowy stillness, and spring awakens the landscape with fresh growth and returning birds.
For those seeking a place that feels connected yet uncrowded, this neighbourhood offers the perfect balance—peaceful, welcoming, and surrounded by the natural beauty that defines the Bruce Peninsula.
Contactless Check-In
Miller Lake Maple Retreat is a warm, modern cottage designed for easy, comfortable stays in every season. The interior is fully updated, bright, and thoughtfully laid out so you can actually relax the moment you walk in.
Open-concept living area
The main living space is open and airy, with lots of natural light coming through energy-efficient windows. Whether you’re here in summer or winter, it feels cozy without ever feeling cramped. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cool evenings after a day outside. It’s a great spot to curl up with a book, watch a movie, or gather for board games and conversation.
Updated flooring throughout keeps the whole cottage feeling clean, fresh, and easy to settle into — the kind of place where kids can pad around barefoot and everyone feels comfortable kicking back.

Kitchen and dining
The kitchen has been beautifully refreshed and is set up for real vacation living. You’ll find new cabinetry, modern countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, plus plenty of space to prep meals. It’s ideal for everything from quick breakfasts before a hike to relaxed dinners back at the cottage.
Because the kitchen opens into the living and dining area, nobody is stuck cooking alone — you can chat, snack, and hang out while meals come together. The dining space is close by and comfortable for shared meals, puzzles, or planning the next day’s adventure.
Bedrooms
There are two spacious bedrooms, each designed to be simple, restful, and practical for a cottage stay. The rooms feel calm and uncluttered, with enough space for luggage and a comfortable night’s sleep after a full day on the lake or trail. Whether you’re a couple, a small family, or two friends sharing, the layout works nicely for privacy and downtime.
Bathroom
The bathroom is fully updated and a little touch of luxury in cottage form. It features in-floor heating (especially appreciated in cooler months), a walk-in shower, and sleek fixtures. Everything feels fresh, modern, and easy — no fuss, just comfort.
Bonus bunkie (flex space)
A standout feature of the retreat is the insulated bunkie — a bonus, flexible space that guests can use in whatever way fits their group. It can be a hangout room, a quiet reading spot, a kids’ escape, or extra sleeping space. Think of it as a little add-on retreat within the retreat.
The cottage blends modern updates with classic Bruce Peninsula comfort. It’s not flashy — it’s inviting, practical, and quietly beautiful, with everything you need to feel at home while you’re away.
A vehicle is recommended.
There is one Uber driver for the Peninsula - reserve in advance.
