Getting Here

This is a gem that has everything you need for a great stay on Pelee. Comfortable rooms, delicious breakfasts, a relaxing vibe...but Cathy and Kevin are truly what make this... read more place a standout. We loved our chats with our new buddies and learning more about the island from them. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and looking forward to coming back!

Best of the best. From reception and Kevin meeting us to bring our bags in from the car, to the amazing breakfasts prepared so lovingly by Cathy, this couple has... read more taken care to make sure every detail is perfect. How could I even begin? Clean and quiet rooms and bathrooms, relaxing common areas to unwind, play board games or have drinks. 2 minute walk to see the sun rise. There are umbrellas, bug spray, water to fill our cups, 24 hour tea station, books, soft music, board games, and more. I can’t even name it all. And then to boot, my husband left his wallet in the night stand. We couldn’t go back because our car was already jammed in on the ferry. One phone call and Kevin was on it! He delivered the wallet right to the ferry dock with zero minutes to spare! Thank God for such amazing hosts, LITERALLY going the extra mile! We will be back!

A truly unforgettable stay! My friend and I spent a beautiful weekend at The Wondering Dog Inn on Pelee Island, and everything exceeded our expectations. The room was spotless and the... read more bed was incredibly comfortable. The outdoor space was absolutely stunning — we loved relaxing in the garden, using the fire pit, the gazebo, and the barbecue area. It felt like a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. One of the highlights was that the inn is just steps away from the beach, which gave us the chance to enjoy an absolutely breathtaking sunrise — truly a magical moment we will never forget. What made our stay even more special was Kevin and Cathy. They were not just professional — they were incredibly kind, warm, and attentive. Every time they saw us, they checked in with genuine care, asking if we needed anything. Their passion, dedication, and personal touch made us feel so welcomed and valued, like we were staying with family. Breakfast was another highlight! There was a wide variety of healthy and high-quality options — a perfect start to each day. If you’re looking for a cozy, relaxing, and heartwarming experience, this is the place to be. We will definitely be back! Thank you Kevin and Cathy for making our weekend so memorable ❤️

We had such a great stay at the Wandering Dog Inn in August 2025. The room and amenities were wonderful, but the owners, Kevin and Cathy, truly made our stay... read more unforgettable. Kevin is around in the evenings to help with anything that comes up, light the campfire, and have a beer with. Cathy opens in the mornings with an amazing breakfast spread of pastries, eggs, toast and waffles, cereal, fresh juice, tea and coffee, fresh fruit, etc. They are both friendly and knowledgeable about the island. They were so helpful and offered to open up the breakfast a few minutes early on our departure day so we could grab a bite to eat and still depart to get to the ferry terminal in time. Our King Suite was spotless. It was large and well lit, and the bed was super comfortable. The bathroom was very nice, with fresh towels, soap and shampoo, etc. The air conditioning worked great even in stifling humidity. We can't recommend the inn enough!

Great people

We loved our stay at the Wandering Dog Inn. Beautiful spot on the east side of the island. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Well kept property and grounds.... read more Very comfortable bed! The breakfasts are delicious and the innkeepers very friendly! Highly recommend!

Home away from home. Cathy and her team created the perfect environment to relax and enjoy the island. The room was comfortable, with plenty of space to spread out and... read more unwind. Cathy's breakfasts went above and beyond, both in terms of quality and selection. The Inn is thoughtfully designed, with plenty to do on the occasional rainy day. The hosts made us feel very welcome, without being at all intrusive. The island is a real gem of tranquility and warmth in a world that seems increasingly busy and cold. We hope to return. If you're on the fence about visiting Pelee Island and staying with Cathy and her team at the Wandering Dog Inn, do it. You won't regret it! PS Kevin, thanks for your kindness, campfire stories and guidance during our stay. We now know why someone as wonderful as Cathy recruited you for her team.

Cathy and Kevin are amazing! We hope to return again next year.

We had a delightful 2 night stay at the Inn in the King Suite. The Inn and the owners are wonderful. A real oasis and retreat getaway from the pace... read more of life on the main land. Our suite was so spacious and it was a comfy bed. We loved that we had our own screened porch with hammock and sitting area. The breakfasts each morning were delicious and filling and so much selection. Coffee a plenty and a quaint eating area. We had so many interesting conversations with the owners about life on the island. We took advantage of the no WiFi and hit and miss cellular coverage on this corner of the island by slowing down and getting a book out and playing a nightly game of Scrabble. We rented Ebikes over by the ferry at The Pelee Shop for a full day and had a blast zooming and giggling around the island. The nicest beach is right near the Inn across from the campground. The nicest rock collecting rock beach is also right near the Inn at the end of Stone Rd. Next time we will definitely bring some picnic and BBQ food to put in the mini fridge and make use of the charcoal BBQ that each suite has. And we would make smores by the fire. This is the best place to stay on the island. For lunches and dinners we recommend Stone House, Westview Tavern and the Shack food truck by Scudder Marina. We had repeat meals at these places. We would not recommend Dog and Goat restaurant. Overall, our time on the island and at the Inn were just what we needed. A getaway!
