The perfect location! Huron Home is a privately owned 3 bedroom cottage located on a corner lot on Huron Street in Southampton, Ontario. It's only a 5-minute walk from the beach and is just steps to the Saugeen Shores' Trolley Stop! Great for 6-7 people to sleep. This cozy, all-season property is bright and spacious and provides all of the comforts of home!
We are the Mackintosh family and we are the owners of Huron Home. We have owned this cottage since 1987 and started coming up to Southampton as kids. Now our kids enjoy summers here!
We welcome you to our cottage and hope you feel at home here and experience all that Southampton has to offer.
There is so much to do, even on rainy days! We look forward to giving you the best local tips, so that you can explore the area to its fullest.
The cottage is not waterfront, however Southampton Beach is located only 3-4 blocks away. This is a lovely sand beach with no rocks and shallow entry.
No it does not, but we do have ceiling fans in two of the bedrooms, a stand up fan in the third bedroom, and ceiling fan in the dining room, as well as lots of windows throughout the house.
There is NO SMOKING inside the cottage. We are not flexible on this point and we really appreciate your understanding. Smoking outside is allowed. All cigarette butts must be cleaned from the property upon departure.
Pets are permitted with a surcharge, please contact us to arrange.
No it does not, but Martin's Bicycle Shop rents bikes in town.
The coffee maker uses Number 4 filters for a drip coffee maker.
Yes it does!
No there is not. We used to have a landline, but now we all have cell phones, so we have cancelled the service.
The water levels in Ontario have been fluctuating in recent years therefore some of the photographs of the shorelines and beaches on this website may not fully reflect current waterfront conditions.
All guests are expected to be courteous and consider the neighbours when using the cottage with respect to noise. Many families vacation with young children and will appreciate quiet at a reasonable time. Our local by-law states no noise is allowed before 7 am or after 11 pm.
“Everything is fresh and clean and the cottage itself is quaint, cozy and peaceful. Less than a 5 min walk to the beautiful beach and close proximity to town. The amenities, closeness to the beach, fire pit and overall ambiance make for a wonderful cottage experience and I will definitely be returning to this little piece of paradise!"

“A beautiful, cozy, home away from home, summer retreat! This summer HOME provides all the amenities needed for a wonderful vacation. With the biggest positive of all...the most beautiful beach in all of Ontario in my opinion the world. Southampton provides picturesque, glorious sunsets and the crystal clear water of Lake Huron makes swimming for all ages safe and super fun! I can't say enough about this amazing cottage. Would spend every day there if I could!"

“Absolutely love the close proximity (5 min walk) to one of the best beaches in Ontario. You really get the feeling of being at a cottage with the cosy intimate space indoors, fire pit out front, and greenery surrounding the cottage. But at the same time you have a proper kitchen at the cottage and a very close drive into town for groceries, dinner out or Tim’s! What a great balance!"
Nadine Robinson
“Can’t say enough about this cottage! Great accommodations for a getaway with family or friends. It’s clean, quaint and the location is fantastic! There is a crystal clean beach that you can walk to with a long boardwalk that is beautiful for a sunset stroll. The small town has unique shops, restaurants and even a Tim Horton’s all within waking distance of the cottage. If you feel like branching out a bit further Port Elgin is only a short drive away with an array of restaurants and stores to choose from. We will definitely be back. This cottage gets 5⭐️‘s in my opinion!"

“Southampton is a great little beach town with plenty of restaurants and shops. You will find a large grocery store, Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart, and many other shops less than 10 minutes away. The cottage itself is perfect for families with plenty of space indoors and out. Beautiful Southampon beach is less than a 5 minute walk away, where you can enjoy the sunshine and sand. Great beach for children and older adults, as the beach is a gradual entry. I'm never disappointed with this gem and hope to visit for years to come!"

“This cottage is a place where you can make memories! It is cozy and has all the amenities you need. It is spacious and there is plenty of room to have a large family or extended family to join you. Memories can be made sitting around the kitchen table, or out front around the firepit on warm summer evenings or crisp fall nights. The lake is only a few blocks away and is secluded, so you can take in the calm waters of Chantry Beach. The forested area in the back provides shade from the hot summer days and is a place to just hang out. In the mornings you can take a stroll and grab some treats at the local bakery or take a short drive to Port Elgin. Sunsets are incredible and a sight to see. There is pride in ownership, and I would highly recommend choosing this cottage for your getaway. Trust me, you will leave and quickly think about booking your return visit."
