Old Mariner's House - Queen Room

Come relax in our spacious bungalow. Have your best sleep ever and enjoy our hot, scrumptious, 'super yummy' breakfasts. A 3 minute walk to the Georgian Bay boat tours and 'Chi-Cheemaun' ferry, and an easy 10 minute stroll into town. Experience our quaint marina, shops and restaurants and all the hidden gems this spectacular area has to offer. *Minimum 2 night stay on the long weekends* Our queen bedroom is cozy and comfy - just for two, or one.. :) We want you to relax.. and unwind.. and GO exploring. Just like a vacation should be - wonderful, adventurous and 'chill'. Enjoy your stay with us in our Old Mariner's getaway. And experience Tobermory and the majestic, natural beauty of Northern Ontario - the wildlife, birds, rock, pine, crystal clear waters and so much more. We are in a rural area and The Old Mariner's House is on a septic system and a well. Instructions must be followed on 'water use and drain use' to avoid clogs or issues. Your host will show you around upon your arrival. Love us.. or leave us. Whatever you prefer after initial introductions and house rules. We are happy to help out but also respect your privacy. The picturesque town of Tobermory welcomes you. You have arrived at the northern climax of the Niagara Escarpment - a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Prepare to have your breath taken away! The sparkling, aqua clear waters, rocks, pines and cedar trees are just the beginning. Hike a section of the world famous Bruce Trail, scuba dive among the many shipwrecks or simply enjoy a glass bottom boat tour. Bring a snorkel and mask (and a wet suit) if you plan to spend a day in the water. The water is everywhere! Experience our beautiful national parks and the not-to-be-missed Grotto, a truly amazing sight to see. And at night, experience the Milky Way and more stars than you have likely ever seen. A 3 minute walk to the Georgian Bay Boat Tours. A 5-10 minute stroll to quaint downtown Tobermory, restaurants, shops and marina. The Chi Chee-maun ferry to Manitoulin Island departs from Tobermory Harbour and just down the road from The Old Mariner. Walk to the 'Foodland' grocery store for supplies right in downtown. Watch mesmerizing sunsets at The Gap, a 3 minute walk. Or rent a kayak and go for a fun day of exploring. Take short car drives to beautiful sandy beaches (Dunk's Bay/Singing Sands). Or hike down to the world famous Grotto to experience this stunning natural wonder (a rocky shoreline sea cave with amazing clear, aqua waters). Note: you will need to book The Grotto in high season. It's a good walk - hiking shoes required! Or just hike inland, or along the rugged, rocky shorelines. Delight in all the sights, the sounds; the BIG blue skies, the CLEAN fresh air, the crystal CLEAR waters, the MAGICAL starry nights.. This area of northern Ontario, 'our true north strong and free' is absolutely BREATHTAKING! As above, we are on a septic system and well water. These are 'delicate' eco systems, not at all like city sewers and water systems. Details must be adhered to, to avoid costly septic clogs, water shortages etc. that guests would be responsible for. Your host will explain procedures upon arrival, and a booklet is provided with our house rules and general info. Oh.. and we have a cat, a boy, new to the family. He found us this winter and really needed a home..
