Discover the Magic of Tobermory– The Playground of the Bruce Peninsula
Blue Aurora is perfectly nestled on Borden Drive, a hidden gem along the shores of Lake Huron. This stunning location offers a peaceful escape while keeping you close to the most spectacular attractions of the Bruce Peninsula.
Just a short drive to Tobermory, you’ll have easy access to the famous Grotto, the stunning Flowerpot Island, and the crystal-clear waters of Georgian Bay. Spend your days hiking the Bruce Trail, exploring the charming harbor, or setting off on a glass-bottom boat tour to discover shipwrecks beneath the waves.
Closer to home, enjoy the breathtaking Lake Huron sunsets right from the deck, or take a starlit kayak paddle on the calm waters. The Bruce Peninsula is known for its dark sky preserve, making it one of the best spots in Canada for stargazing.
Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, Blue Aurora’s location offers the best of both worlds—a tranquil, modern retreat on the water with nature’s most incredible wonders just minutes away.

Nestled along the serene, snow-kissed shores of Lake Huron, Blue Aurora transforms into a breathtaking winter retreat where contemporary architecture meets the quiet magic of the Bruce Peninsula. This box-frame-inspired sanctuary offers an elevated cold-season escape for discerning travellers seeking luxury, tranquility, and the unforgettable beauty of a frozen lakeside landscape.
Step inside to soaring double-height ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic views of Lake Huron’s shimmering winter blues and icy shoreline. The open-concept living area glows with natural winter light while the sleek fireplace fills the space with warmth and ambiance—perfect for curling up after a day of winter exploration. The gourmet kitchen, equipped with high-end appliances, invites guests to prepare comforting seasonal meals and gather around the dining table for intimate evenings and festive celebrations.
With three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, Blue Aurora comfortably accommodates up to six guests. The primary suite becomes a winter sanctuary, complete with private deck access and peaceful views of snow-dusted pines and the frozen horizon. Spa-like ensuite bathrooms, appointed with luxurious finishes, provide the perfect place to unwind with a long warm soak after a crisp day outdoors.
Two expansive decks—upper and lower—extend the living space into the winter landscape. Sip morning coffee wrapped in a blanket on the upper deck as snowflakes drift through the air, or gather on the lower deck as the sun sets, warming up by the fire pit beneath a brilliant canopy of winter stars. The private shoreline offers its own winter charm, ideal for peaceful walks, photography, or simply admiring the dramatic beauty of frozen Lake Huron.
Located just a short drive from Tobermory and Bruce Peninsula National Park, Blue Aurora offers easy access to winter hiking, snowshoeing, and the unparalleled quiet of the off-season. More than a destination, it is an experience—an oasis of luxury, warmth, and natural wonder where modern design and winter’s tranquil beauty exist in perfect harmony.

Short family getaway
While we had unfortunate weather for the duration of our stay, the location of the house on the water made it easy access for those moments where the weather cleared so we could take full advantage of the beauty of the lake. The house was clean and quiet and we would stay again if ever in the area.

Simply amazing
It was wonderful! clean, nice, and fully equipped. Amazing!
This place was just as the pictures show - beautiful! Loved every minute, with the windows open heading the waves coming up to shore...there's no better sound. ❤️
Great hiking trails around the area, just a couple minutes drive either way from the cottage. Singing Sands, the Grotto (a MUST SEE), and if you like a little boat ride - take the glass bottom boat to Flower Pot Island and hike there for a couple of hours. It was all very beautiful.
Would definitely stay here again.
