Mochi & Vixen 🐾

Best dog trip ever!! 🐾

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 4, 2023
My name is Mochi! I’m a 2 year old black lab from America. I sailed to Canada with my best friend, Vixen. It was our first international trip. Our hosts made us feel right at home with belly rubs. We wondered the beautiful property, enjoyed a doggy paddle at the beach and had a campfire in the evenings. The sniffs coming from the kitchen were enough to make us drool. Our humans kept bragging about the phenomenal homemade breakfast. Without Wi-Fi, our humans were forced to spend some quality time with their dogs. It was wonderful!! The highlight for us was a huge mulberry tree. Vixen and I loved foraging for dropped mulberries, our new favorite treat!! The whole island is dog friendly and we loved the boat ride too!! This was the best trip ever for a couple of labs that like to wonder the world!!

Visited with 4 adults, a baby, and two Labrador retrievers. Beautiful property, very dog friendly, in fact one of our dogs refused to leave, she absolutely would not get in the van and pulled us back toward the inn. The inn is a short walk from a beach, which was nice for the dogs and the baby and we enjoyed bicycling around the island. We stayed in the family suite which is very spacious and could easily accommodate our crew. Cathy and Kevin were great hosts, we and especially enjoyed Cathy’s breakfasts!

If you are looking to take a pause and slow down the hustle and bustle, please visit this gem. Cathy and Kevin (Owners) are the most lovely, wonderful people. They made us and our aussiedoodle Willow feel so welcome the minute we arrived. They made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed not only upon our arrival, our whole stay (and you will not be disappointed with the breakfast, each day was perfection)!
Our first visit to Peele has sparked so many more visits to come and with family and friends! Thank you!

The most charming and quaint little inn you could ever stay in!

If you're looking to disconnect from technology, reconnect with your partner, and connect with nature, this is a prime location. Also, if you're in need of solitude look no further.

Let's begin with the view. * This inn is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the beach where you will see the most awe inspiring sunrises. The inn is remote enough that when you're nestled by the campfire you will bare witness to a sky full of glistening stars which would amaze any stargazer. Throught the entire day the birds serenade you with their beautiful songs.

Onto the breakfast spread. * Cathy makes a variety of scrumptious breakfast options which is absolutely delightful. Her freshly baked ((from the heart)) homemade loafs and tarts are incredibly delicious. My hubby thoroughly enjoyed the egg bites paired with the fresh croissants. Everything Cathy makes is well thought out and there is a burst of flavour in every single bite. This breakfast spread surpasses being basic; a spread that would measure up to being served in a 5 star hotel. Cathy uses the best quality of ingredients from the island itself.

Let's toast the most wonderful host! * Kevin and Cathy are so welcoming and gracious. They ensure that you feel that level of comfort that feels just like home. Throughout the day Kevin is always puttering away. Kevin continuously checks in every time you cross paths with him. Kevin wholeheartedly takes the time to hear about your day and what your plans are. Cathy has a smile that could light up any room. Cathy is such a warm-hearted and good-natured person. Cathy was so incredibly pleasant chatting with during the mornings while she was setting up the breakfast spread. Kevin and Cathy both ask about your plans and provide some suggestions of some hidden gems, all while providing insight and history about the island. There is no doubt that Kevin and Cathy genuinely love what they do. They put their entire heart and soul into their charming little inn. It's clear that their goal is to make people fall in love with the island, and they naturally and successfully do just that. Their compassion, cheerfulness, and attention to ALL of the little details does not go unnoticed.

On a side note... our room was spacious and put together beautifully. I absolutely loved the simplicity of it. Kevin and Cathy really captured the charm and essence of the island. The room was stocked with everything we could possible need and so clean that it sparkled.

I can honestly say that we look forward to returning so that our children, as well as our fur-babies, can experience the pleasure of staying at The Wandering Dog Inn. What started off as a simple couple getaway turned into an ideal spot to bring my blended family; an ideal spot that encourages bonding as well as creating lasting memories that will be treasured over a lifetime.

We met Cathy and Kevin when we arrived an hour early for our reservation and were welcomed as if we were their favorite guests. Our two bedroom suite was all ready for us. It was spacious and very comfortable with everything that we could want, including some books and games. Our breakfasts were delicious with ample selections available. The grounds were well maintained and we were able to chat with other guests in the screened pergola, the breakfast porch and, while we enjoyed an evening campfire. All the islanders were so friendly.

What a gem on Pelee Island! We took one of our kids for a fun overnight bday trip. Had a fantastic stay. The room and main house were super clean and well cared for. The service from Cathy and Kevin was amazing and personalized. We will definitely be back year after year!
