The Wondering Dig is the place to make your trip to Pelee what you need it to be. For us - it was to drive an old car, eat good food, and be disconnected from technology and the larger world. Cathy and Kevin have figured out how to do all this , very well, in a pandemic. The charcoal grills, the hammocks in your personal front porch, and the perfect personal breakfasts allow you to pace your day to meet your needs. They have thought of options like buying packages for lunches and suppers and the perfect evening fire. Then add Fred AKA the wondering dog and you feel right at home. Cathy and Kevin you have met the challenges of our times and stepped things up. Pelee Island should be very proud of your ability to continue to offer service that we want to come back to. We live this place and will be back for more time at The Wondering Dog!

To say our stay at the Wandering Dog exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. Cathy and Kevin were wonderful hosts taking care of all our needs from setting up the bbq, providing useful island tips to an exceptional brekkie every morning. Despite COVID restrictions they have thought of everything to make you feel at home.
We had the King Suite in the back and it is very spacious and welcoming. More than enough room for the 2 of us.
Thanks again Cathy and Kevin for making our 3 nights at your Inn so memorable.

I cannot say enough great things about our wonderful stay at the Wandering Dog Inn. We stayed in one of the suites and were very pleased with the space. We especially loved the private screened porch with our own hammock. Kevin and Cathy made us feel like we were not just guests, but friends and I enjoyed our daily interactions with both of them. (And the real wandering dog, Fred, was very friendly as well!) The Inn and property are very well kept and give off a wonderful island relaxing vibe. The service and food quality were top notch! The breakfast exceeded our expectations and had lots of variety. We also enjoyed meeting new friends each night around the campfire.
We love this beautiful property and charming historic inn. We are already looking forward to coming back next summer.

Just a quick note to say how much my wife and I enjoyed are brief stay here last week. Kathy and Kevin are delightful hosts always willing to do anything reasonable to make our stay an wonderful one. The Inn is on an island that time forgot. Make sure to set your watch back 50 years and then just lay back and relax. Hammocks provided.

The Wandering Dog is a simple and beautiful inn on laid back Pelee Island. The hosts Kathy and Kevin are very accommodating. We were there during COVID-19 restrictions and they worked hard to provide a relaxing and enjoyable stay despite some restrictions. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. There is a fire pit for guests to enjoy, a wonderful reading room, hammock and just a calm, comfortable atmosphere. You can spend time at various quiet beaches, the water was great when we were there, cycle the island , visit a couple of historic sites and hike. Lots of birds and rabbits. We saw a fox, and two families of pheasants as well. No internet was not a problem for us. We had our phones to connect. We would recommend the inn and the island when you want to unwind.

Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The property is well kept and the decor inviting.
We enjoyed being away from televisions and wifi, a great place to unplug.
Good continental breakfast & fun fire pit to get aquatinted with other guests.
It was worth the effort of traveling there from Toronto.
