Your Guest Inn Hosts
Dyers Bay
​​
We are Valerie and Todd, your hosts at On The Rocks Guest Inn, and we warmly invite you to experience the breathtaking beauty of Georgian Bay from the comfort of our spacious and thoughtfully appointed lake house.
The vision for our guest inn—while reminiscent of a traditional bed & breakfast—has been shaped over many years by the people, places, and meaningful experiences that have inspired us. What began as a dream has grown into a deeply personal and carefully curated retreat we are proud to share with our guests.
Our commitment to hospitality includes a strong focus on supporting local artisans and businesses. During your stay, you’ll enjoy locally sourced meats and eggs, pure maple syrup, and other regional specialties that reflect the best of our community.
True to its name, On The Rocks is nestled along the rugged, rocky shoreline of Georgian Bay. It is a place grounded in natural beauty and personal connection, one we’ve created with great care and passion.
We look forward to welcoming you and hope your time with us leaves you feeling refreshed, inspired, and at home.

Welcome to Dyers Bay – The Hidden Jewel of Ontario’s Northern Bruce Peninsula!
Nestled along the eastern shoreline of the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula and overlooking the pristine waters of Georgian Bay, Dyers Bay is a quiet hamlet with a rich history and exceptional natural beauty. This small but vibrant community offers a rare and peaceful retreat for those looking to reconnect with nature.
Once rooted in the lumber and commercial fishing industries, Dyers Bay is now cherished for its breathtaking landscapes, unspoiled shoreline, and proximity to some of Ontario’s most iconic natural features.
The historic Bruce Trail passes nearby, offering access to rugged escarpment hikes, panoramic views, and encounters with rare flora and fauna. The crystal-clear waters of Georgian Bay are perfect for paddling, swimming, or simply relaxing by the shore. And each morning, the bay greets early risers with truly unforgettable sunrises.
This area is also home to an extraordinary array of plant life, including more than 40 species of wild orchids and 50 species of ferns, as well as some of the oldest living trees in Eastern North America—some over 1,000 years old.
We invite you to discover Dyers Bay for yourself—its natural charm, quiet beauty, and timeless magic await your arrival.
