Meaford is a nice little town , close to Collingwood for skiing

Our party of six adults and three teens stayed at this home over the 2022 May long weekend to celebrate our friend’s 50th birthday. We had hoped to spend our evenings lounging in the hot tub but received a frenzied call from the owner, just before we arrived in Meaford, telling us that the hot tub wasn’t working. The owner compensated us financially so that the adults could use the Scandinave Spa and the teens could visit the “Plunge” waterpark at Blue Mountain (about 25 minutes away), but we were still disappointed that this amenity was not available as advertised and we were given such little notice. Upon arrival, the house was lovely and appeared just as pictured online. But after closer inspection, the cobwebs on the light fixtures and on the chairs in the dining room showed that the home did not appear to have been maintained over the winter months and it required a better Spring cleaning. Several people in our party were also bothered by the dust throughout the home and were forced to take antihistamines throughout our stay. The King and Queen beds were all quite comfortable with beautiful bedding, but the bunk beds were a disaster. Neither bunk bed had a mattress, just a regular box spring with what appeared to be an old futon mattress on top. They were incredibly uncomfortable and noisy (they creaked loudly anytime you moved). The top bunk was so close to the ceiling that you had to be very careful not to hit your head or come too close to the ceiling fan. After three uncomfortable nights, we packed up our things from the kitchen, only to find fresh mouse droppings in one of the lazy susan’s – they definitely weren’t there when we arrived. That same morning, after we had all showered, we found a huge, dripping water stain in the dining room that appeared to be coming from the bathroom above. Thankfully we were on our way out and this did not affect our stay. Unfortunately, our request to be reimbursed for the cleaning fee – in light of the dust and fresh mice droppings – was rejected by the owner, as was our request to be financially compensated for the poor night’s sleep in the bunk beds. The owner deemed our requests to be “unreasonable and without merit”, which is incredibly disappointing considering she reminded us several times that she was a credited “Superhost”. We think this title is greatly exaggerated.

We had a terrific Christmas and holiday. The children enjoyed the yard and the fire pit, They liked all the little nooks and crannies.We will have so many great memories.

Great location, lovely and comfortable house. Worked extremely well for four couples to get away for a weekend. We will be back!
