I am the proud owner of my BnB and friendly staff. Our consistent, courteous service will help set the stage for total relaxation during your stay. 

Thank you for choosing to stay at the Cardinal BnB Retreat. We look forward to welcoming you on your next visit to the Bruce Peninsula.  

Born and raised on family farm - with almost an acre lot I'm looking to bring agricultural experience to my BnB, garden to table.

Enjoy outdoor activities fishing, water sports, snowmobiling or just relaxing by a campfire with a glass of wine.
