Room #3

Large private room with 3 piece en suite bath,
double bed, WIFI, TV and Netflix.

Furniture placement in the house, bedrooms and yard, and bed coverings may be different from photos. I like to keep it fresh by rearranging furniture and getting new bedspreads.

Cheery mid-sized room with queen sized bed, WIFI, 26" TV with Netflix, and laptop friendly workspace.
Shared 3 piece bathroom.

Room #1

Room #1 is a cozy room with a double sized bed, a desk and a closet. It overlooks the backyard and gets a breeze from the lake. It is the quietest room in the house, but most evenings you will be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves.

Newly renovated large 3 piece bathroom for rooms 1 and 2

Stroll down the boardwalk to the sleepy harbor at sunset and listen to the Phantom Piper as his haunting tune calls out to the hearts of seafarers and landlubbers everywhere. You can't go home until you've paraded down Queen Street with Kincardine's finest. Yep, the pipe band! Every Saturday night at 8 pm sharp our men and women in kilts make the march through town like the Pied Piper with hundreds of followers. They lead the happy human mice back to the park and play until dusk.

Terrific location, central to everything. Lovely, thoughtful hostess. Bed was great and I could go to sleep to the sound of the waves of Lake Huron lapping on the shore. What more could I want? Thanks Nancy!

Excellent location just a few blocks away from beach, and downtown. Lovely house, comfortable, and Nancy is very nice! We will be definitely coming back in the future! Thank you very much Nancy! We had an amazing time.

It was an absolute pleasure to stay with Nancy in the room with the ensuite. I came to have a relaxing weekend at the beach and to do writing and research. I had complete privacy in my spacious room, beautiful sunlight through the many windows in the morning and the silence and calm I was looking for. Nancy is a wonderful and warm host. I enjoyed interesting conversation in the morning over coffee and muffins. She has three friendly cats. This is a room in shared house. The bed is a futon mattress, which suited me just fine. The bedroom has a nice en-suite bathroom with shower, and the kitchen is shared with the host and other guests. There is ample parking for your car on-site. I would definitely stay again on a trip to beautiful Kincardine. Thank you very much for your hospitality! It was a pleasure to chat with you and to get to know you!

Nancy's house is a great reflection of her creature flare. The ensuite room was a perfect size. The proximity to the beach and town was so convenient. Nancy was there to greet me and was welcoming from the very first minute. A great stay and would recommend it to anyone.

The walk to the beach is easy! The beach front is beautiful. When looking for her home look for the quirky picket white fence!

Nancy is a wonderful host. She greeted us as we arrived, showed us our room and answered all our questions about the area. It was literally a 3min walk to the beach, and 5 minute walk into town to all the cute restaurants & shops. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. If I had to say anything negative, there is not air conditioning but I love sleeping with the window open. Definitely planning to come back next year, if not sooner.

Beautiful house with unique decor in artistic hippy style. Nancy is a great hostess. For breakfast, she bakes muffins, bananabread and bread. Healthy and good. Quiet, relaxed and good. 5 stars out of 5!

Nancy is a brilliant host. Her house has a warm and comfortable feel and her original artwork is a beauty to behold. With fresh fruits and homemade baked goods, she made me feel right at home. Her neighbourhood is idyllic and serene, and the perfect place to escape the hecticness of life. I loved the room size, the decorations, everything about it!

Nancy was such a great host, she was able to accommodate us within less than 24 hours notice. Her place is a treat in itself, it's decorated beautifully. Our room was spacious and Nancy gave us great suggestions for places to check out to eat. What stood out were her blueberry banana muffins. Omg! So moist. Will definitely go back if we go back to Kincardine! The washroom is super important in terms of cleanliness, and her washroom was spotless! No suggestions. Everything was great

Nancy was absolute fantastic hostess, her home is magic art. Our room was very creative large and really fun . Breakfast was really not included, but she gave us a nice big bowl watermelon to start the day, some other fruits and muffins she baked. Very lovely of her and walk to beach from her garden took us 2 min, to a fantastic heaven spot. We love beaches, and this is beautiful one, with greenery around. We had very nice weekend in Nancy's HEAVEN home and her company. Thank you and plus she is extremely creative artist too, making furniture, painting, jewelry . She has so much to offer with her heart .

I found Nancy's place, by chance, when I decided to do a solo last-minute get away weekend & chose the Canadian coast of Lake Huron. I think it was "meant to be". I loved the quaint, quirky house & the coziness of it. Nancy's awesome artwork was everywhere & fit perfectly with the setting. The sound of the waves from the lake were second only to the incredibly stirring music of the bagpipers on Friday & Saturday nights. The lake is just a few blocks away as is the cute town of Kincardine. I felt very at home & can't wait to return!

Nancy was a wonderful host. Very welcoming and great to converse with. She made us feel comfortable and provided all the necessary amenities for our stay. The house looks as shown in the photos. The room itself was cozy and clean. The house is close to the downtown area of Kincardine. We really enjoyed our time and will surely look up this listing the next time we are in the area!

Nancy is kind, her place is full of beautiful artwork and the location is optimal - right by the beach and 'downtown' area. We look forward to our return!

Nancy was a great host, very helpful, laid back, and her art work is beautiful. The house has lots of great character and the room was comfortable with lots of fresh air coming in with double windows. As she describes, I wouldn't recommend it to a high-maintenance personality, as 'perfection' is not what this place is all about. If you like older houses with lots of charm I would definitely recommend it!

Nancy's Awesome Art home is lovely - and full of awesome art! Nancy was kind and welcoming, giving us lots of tips on sights and spots to check out. The location is very close to the beach and a short walk to the town center so we were able to get around well without using the car. The room was spacious and cool, even on a hot summer day. And it would be wrong not to mention Nancy's amazing peach cobbler! A true breakfast delight. I would recommend this location to anyone visiting Kincardine.

It was lovely to meet Nancy who was very friendly and punctual and answered all my questions. We had a large room with windows on 3 walls decorated with her unique kind of quirky art. The room and bathroom were large clean and bright. Bed was lower than at home but comfortable. No a/c but a nice breese.....chimes in the garden bothered me but not my husband on the windy night. The lake and boardwalk was just a short walk away.

Nancy was great at communication prior to my arrival and was there to greet me when I arrived. Everything was as the ad said and more, she is a wonderful host with much to offer the good people that come to her home. All is warm and inviting, comfortable with her own spin on charm. I very much look forward to the next time I come back not only to visit the area but to stay at Nancy's home. Cheers and thank you for a wonderful stay..... :)

What a fantastic location! Nancy's cozy Victorian home is merely a block away from a gorgeous spot of beach in Kincardine. Nancy is a gracious host who will make you feel welcome and comfortable at the house. She is a very interesting person with many talents, and I look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you Nancy, your home was such an oasis of peace!

We stayed for two nights in early September. Our room was large, with decent bed, couch, desk and In-suite bathroom. Quite comfortable. The house has nice artworks throughout and is a piece of art itself. One block to beach. Quarter mile to downtown Kincardine--easy walk. Nancy was great host, provided us tea and light morning breakfast. Interesting conversation too. We enjoyed our stay and would like to repeat sometime.

We had a great four day stay at Nancy's house. We booked room 3, which is a very spacious and serene room with a nice architecture and lots of sunlight. Since the weather was lovely we had breakfast in the garden, including Nancy's delicious homebaked goods. Her house has interesting art and furniture and is just a two minute walk away from the Lake Huron beach - with an incredible sunset. Nancy was always helpful and offered us great advice for things to do around the area - she is a truly wonderful host!

Friendly host with a cozy home. Centrally located in Kincardine and decorated with eclectic art. Includes parking at the rear and coded entry for guests, no keys required. Host is very hands off but provides ample space for personal belongings, food, etc. Nice quiet place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Kincardine and Goderich with Nancy. Quiet neighborhood, convenient access to "downtown" and everything else. Very clean rooms and great service from the host. We wanted to stay in Goderich for Lake Huron, but Kincardine actually proved to be much more interesting town.

Nancy was a wonderful host, as were her very friendly cats. She was kind enough to offer us muffins in the morning (which we weren't expecting) and gave us an update on the events in the area. The location was also perfect, steps away from the beach. We would be happy to book with Nancy again.

Nancy is a gracious host and a delight to meet. I felt welcomed and comfortable in her home. It is in a quiet part of town, yet close to all amenities and the beach. Wifi works great and my room was spacious and oh so cosy! My only regret was leaving. This area of Ontario is beautiful scenically, with lots to see and do. If I have the chance to travel this way again I would look no further than to stay at Nancy's bnb. Thank you so much for your hospitality Nancy. I really enjoyed meeting and talking with you and my stay was made comfortable by you. I hope to have a chance to enjoy your bnb again. All my best, And my regards, Robert

The location was fabulous--right on the main street and minutes from the beach. Nancy's home has a really peaceful energy and is quite beautiful. My room was clean and cozy. Nancy is always around if you need anything and does her best to provide you with any information or directions you need to enjoy your stay in Kincardine. It was a wonderful stay. The energy, beauty and kindness-it was such a peaceful home and Nancy and her family were wonderful.

Nancy was warm, friendly, and accommodating. The listing was accurate, and Kincardine seems like a lovely little town for a getaway. I got a hot shower and a good night's sleep at Nancy's house, and that is exactly what I was looking for. The interesting conversations about her art and the history of her house and the town were nice bonuses.

That was a wonderful stay! Nancy is a great host and made us feel very comfortable, helped us with the information on the town's events and places to visit. Kincardine itself is very charming, cozy and friendly town. We enjoyed Saturday Scottish pipe band parade and Monday market at the park. The food in the local restaurants is home-tasty! The beaches on Lake Huron are white-sandy with and clean.
Nancy thank you so much for your great hospitality! We are really enjoyed our stay at your cozy house. We hope you have a great summer! Thank you again!

It was a pleasure to stay with Nancy in her house, she is a very grate host. Me and my daughter felt quiet at home, enjoying the space of the apartment, the lovely establishment with so many art in it, walking in Bikini to the lovely beach and enjoying the nice little town Kincardine. We would have like to spend more time and and hope that we will visit her again. (This is a commentary of a german person.)
