Welcome To MacArthur Park

Prior to becoming a vacation rental, this cottage was owned by our grandparents, Robert & Doris MacArthur. The two grew up, fell in love & started a family in nearby London Ontario! In the 60s, our grandpa built a cottage along Ipperwash beach for the family to vacation at while he was working at the cadets training camp.

Over the years, they visited the quaint village of Bayfield, watched it grow & flourish into the town it is today! They fell in love with the historic waterfront, beautiful beach & gorgeous west coast sunsets! It was not long before they wanted to move up the coast to this quaint village!

So, in 1995, the year Zac was born, they purchased 9 Jowett Lane and turned it into their new family cottage. They loved that they could enjoy the beach front, watch the boats in the marina, and bask in the beautiful sunsets, all the while being a short stroll from the centre of Bayfield!

Growing up we made many wonderful memories at Camp Grandma (the MacArthur Park cottage). We would spend at least a week every summer spending time with grandma and grandpa by the lake.Camp Grandma always consisted of fun outdoor adventures up to the village or along the lake front! We would go on beach walks to hunt for the best rocks to paint or walk down to the pier to chat with all the friendly people fishing.

One of Maddison's favourite things to do was looking through the marina for the Cinderella boat, a green sailboat named after her favourite princess that periodically docked in Bayfield!

Whether it was painting rocks on the back deck, tea parties in the sunroom, board games in the living room or baking with grandma in the kitchen, Camp Grandma was never a dull moment!

This beautiful place was a cherished home for everyone in our family! It was the location of countless family reunions, anniversaries, and birthday parties. The cottage also hosted a family wedding! Our grandparents loved to share their favourite place with everyone their loved!

Other family members recount wonderful memories including catching their first fish on the Bayfield river and jumping the waves with their first big "adult" purchase, a jetski!

Many memories in our family involved the back deck and the view of Lake Huron! From relaxing mornings with a cup of coffee and a good book to cherished conversations with a beverage of choice while the sun sets. The back deck was also the dance floor for the family wedding and a karaoke stage for the anniversary party! It was the construction site for decorating our bikes for the Bayfield Parade and the "games room" for the many card and board games that were enjoyed!
