History

My wife and I stayed for a couple nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The property is well maintained, our room was comfortable, brekky was delicious and the hosts Cathy... read more and Kevin are second to none. They do not sugarcoat anything. We had no TV, we had barely any internet (no wifi) and our room's bathroom was not attached (though it was still private). But the peace, a bottle of wine by the fire under the stars, the company, and the vibe more than make up for it. We'll definitely be back.

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!

Very charming inn, great rooms, very clean and comfy. Kevin and Cathy are fabulous hosts! Wonderful breakfast! Highly recommend the inn!

If you’re lucky enough to find an available room, book it! Pack your bikes or rent once you get here and plan to feel the relaxation seeping in! Pelee... read more Island is a laid back, old timey getaway, with the Wandering Dog offering the best of the island’s updated, sparkling clean rooms & suites. The Inn is steeped in history and surrounded by beautiful gardens, lush lawn, a the best beaches and moonlit shoreline steps away. Kathy serves up an extensive ‘continental’ breakfast with eggs, fresh whole and cut up fruits, homemade seasonal baked goods, fresh yogurt and the yummiest coffee worthy of 3 refills!!! Kevin added plenty of laughs to our evenings with his dry wit and was considerate to throw our soaking wet beach towels into the dryer. Kathy & Kevin have thought of everything so you don’t have to. Thanks for an unforgettable weekend and for sharing your island.

What a fantastic place! The hosts, Cathy and Kevin are a delight, they truly love what they do, and it shows. The food, so delicious, the room, so comfy the... read more grounds are relaxing. Kevin, next time we will help with the chores. We will definitely stay there again.

Celebrated our 26th Anniversary at The Wandering Dog and had a Great Time Doing it. It's been a while but Kevin & Kathy haven't lost a step. The Accomodations were... read more Excellent, Food and Company were spot on. Like a Fine Wine The Wandering Dog gets better with age. Looking forward to our next visit. I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND this WONDERFUL Establishment to EVERYONE WE KNOW. Sorry about the lateness of the review ... ALL THE BEST GUYS ...THANK YOU.

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!

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.
