Pet-friendly escape on the shores of Lake Huron where cozy meets coastal. With space for up to 8 guests, 2 bathrooms, and charming lake-blue decor throughout, for guests like you — perfect for those who crave quiet mornings, breezy lake afternoons, and easy evenings filled with laughter. This is your place to relax, slow down, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
When you walk through the gate, you’ll instantly feel that laid-back lake vibe. The blue tones inside reflect the calm of Lake Huron just around the corner and every corner of the cottage feels like it’s inviting you to stay a little longer. Whether you’re planning a family escape or a friend-filled weekend, you’ll find room for everyone — and a few surprises along the way. Part of the Keepers Cottages, Carruthers can be rented on its own or together with the adjoining Wexford Cottage for larger groups.
Carruthers Cottage layout gives you just a little more room to spread out. With two full bathrooms, getting ready is a breeze — no waiting around. The space sleeps up to 8 comfortably, making it ideal for bigger families or friend groups.
Inside, you’ll find that lake-themed style carried through every room — calming blues, cozy textures, and all the touches that make you feel instantly at home. The living area invites you to kick back in front of the Smart TV, while the dining space is perfect for board games or shared meals. The kitchen is stocked and ready whether you’re making pancakes or pasta.
My favorite feature? The private “honeymoon deck” just off the primary bedroom — it’s the perfect little hideaway for morning coffee or an evening wind-down.
A fully fenced private yard where your days can unfold in perfect rhythm. Coffee in the morning sunshine, BBQ and laughter in the afternoon, and ghost stories around the firepit at night — it’s all yours.
The dartboard’s ready, the conversation sets are in place, and your spot around the fire is waiting. Whether you want to play, nap, read, or reconnect, you’ll find your favorite corner out here. And if you’re bringing a furry friend, they’ll love the freedom too.
A shared, locked gate connects you to Wexford Cottage, making it easy to host a larger group while keeping your own private space.

⚓ The Story Behind the Name: SS James Carruthers
Carruthers Cottage is named in honor of the SS James Carruthers, a Canadian Great Lakes freighter built in 1913. Tragically, during the infamous “White Hurricane” of November 1913, the Carruthers sank in Lake Huron with all 22 crew members aboard. Despite extensive searches, the wreck has never been located, making it one of the Great Lakes’ enduring maritime mysteries. Debris and bodies washed ashore near Point Clark, linking the area to this poignant chapter in nautical history
