Accommodations that suit your needs

Early morning birdsong becomes a gentle crescendo – a beautiful soundtrack to start your day.

From the gentle humming of Dragonfly wings to the roiling bustle of a waterfall, there is so much more to hear, see and do on the Bruce. Pitch your tent. Hook up your RV. Or unpack at your cottage. Hit the pause button and unplug your life. Enjoy a real connection with your family, live, and in the first person. A getaway to the Bruce means you will be recharged, and prepared for more entertainment options than you would ever find by remote control.

While planning your getaway to the Peninsula, you will be amazed at the endless options of entertainment and scenic sights awaiting your exploration, making planning your itinerary effortless! Note however that a visit to the Grotto will require reservation booking in advance using the Parks Canada website. While visiting be sure to plan each day with popular sights – discover Flowerpot Island and take a glass-bottom boat tour to witness one of the 8th wonders of the world, uncover a new route on the Bruce Trail, or witness the natural wonders within the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Sound amazing? Checkout the following accommodation suggestions to find the perfect place to call your home away from home and the most relaxing oasis’s to unwind at after a long day of adventure.
