Host was very friendly and communication was great. Pet friendly was a bonus. Even though they were on site, host was good about giving privacy

Amazing stay! I had a group of friends (15 total and our dogs) to celebrate my up coming wedding and this place was the most perfect location. Lots of space indoors and out to play games and hangout. Deborah was so helpful and everything was a breeze.

This place is just amazing. We were 18 adults and 3 kids and we all enjoyed our stay. The kids had fun in the pool, the trampoline and play structure. Enough space for everyone while being outside by the BBQ and pool or inside. The host is great and attentive. She responds quickly to any requests. The kitchen has everything you need (and more) for cooking meals and serving them. I highly recommend it. We will definitely be back.

Our family had a great extended weekend here at this beautiful cottage! We had lots of young kids in our group and none of them were ever bored. There were so many activities available to us at the cottage, with the main attraction being the double heated pool. It was great to have Deborah show us around and always available when we had any questions. Highly recommend this cottage and would love to return in the future!

We were absolutely thrilled with everything! Our host was amazing! From initial contact at booking, through the entire stay and departure, she was available and extremely helpful.
The property was immaculate and perfect for our family of 10 adults and many small children. There was lots to do on site and space for everyone. The play area and pool were our favourites! The kitchen was very well appointed for cooking, baking and barbecueing. We rate it 5+ stars!

Debra was an amazing host her outdoor area was amazing with heated pool. She also made great recommendations of some places to go nearby. Port Perry is definitely a nice place to go. It’s only 20 minutes away and has great restaurants. Definitely will go back if I’m in that area again

Great for a family group, lots to do. Deborah was very accommodating and checked in regularly to ensure all was well. Beautiful setting for pre wedding event and photos. Very clean and kitchen had everything we needed.
A few updates/ refreshes would align more with the price, one bedroom was quite warm as it didn’t have a window for air flow.

Deborah's cottage is an exceptional retreat. Her proactive and detailed communication before our arrival ensured a seamless check-in. Despite residing in the adjacent wing, Deborah respected our privacy while remaining easily reachable for any needs via text. The well-decorated living space provided every amenity, creating a cozy and stress-free environment. A unique highlight was the on-site equestrian school, offering an enlightening horseback riding session. Erica, the knowledgeable instructor, shared her passion and expertise, making the experience enjoyable for riders of all levels. From the impeccable accommodations to the added charm of the equestrian school, Deborah's cottage surpassed our expectations. A perfect blend of comfort, communication, and unique experiences makes this retreat a hidden gem we look forward to revisiting. Highly recommended for a memorable getaway.

We had a fantastic time at Sky Haven during our family reunion in August! The cottage stay was a true delight. The well-equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze, and the great pool added an extra layer of relaxation to the trip. It was wonderful to see how kid-friendly the place was, and the horse-riding opportunity was a big hit. We shouldn't forget to appreciate Erica's patience during the horse riding lessons. The pool table and indoor activities kept not only the youngsters but also the adults busy.
Overall, it was a PERFECT getaway for families and anyone looking to unwind amidst beautiful surroundings.
Thank you, Deborah, for your warm hospitality!

Deborah's property exceeded our expectations for our diverse group of 14, spanning ages 6 to 85! Breathtaking views and lots of activities for everyone! The pool was definitely the highlight for the children. We really appreciated how there were lots of towels and pool toys available (one less thing to worry about!). There were also a variety of outdoor games like cricket, badminton and spike ball. During the evenings we took advantage of the billiard table and shuffleboard. The property was exactly as described and we would not hesitate to return for another stress free little getaway. Overall, great location, well equipped with all basic necessities, lots of privacy and spacious for large groups.

Our stay here for the bachelorette was AMAZING. The property is breathtaking and Deborah was a great host. Our stay was all adults but would also be great with family's as there is a swing set and trampoline aswell as the STUNNING pool. Her one dog kept us company all weekend which was also a bonus. 10/10

The home was clean, spacious, with a billiards table, shuffle board, atrium, patio, out door speakers, BBQ and big pool filled with lots of toys to keep everyone busy!
Deborah and her family lives on the property but you wouldn't know it. If you needed anything she was ready by text. We have a big family and hosted a BBQ pool day. Did not know there would be an event fee, requirement of life guard and rental of portable washroom as sceptic tank can't handle more than 30 people but it was understandable, worked out and was worthwhile so please be aware of this, if you plan to do the same. Our weekend there was too short!

This is a beautiful property to stay at. There are stunning views of the surrounding rolling hills. The grounds are kept up nicely. The house was built with high quality materials and furnished with quality pieces as well. It is also very well equipped with all the cooking and serving implements you will need. We had access to the beautiful pool and grilling area. The beds were comfortable and equipped with all the linens you will ever need.
Our group was hauling race cars to go to MOSPORT. There was plenty of room to park our trailers, and easy entry and exit from the property. If you have ever pulled a trailer, you know how important that is. The house is an easy 20 minute drive to the track.
Deborah was a fantastic host!! She met us at arrival and told us all about the property and what it has to offer. She promptly answered all of our text questions. She always made sure we had what we needed.
Everyone in our group enjoyed our stay and we would absolutely stay here again.

We chose Sky Haven to host our small wedding because of the beauty of the property. The lush green grass and trees, the beautiful gardens and of course the home itself. We loved taking advantage of all of the beautiful spaces inside and out. The atrium was a beautiful indoor space, flooded with natural light. The host Deborah was incredible, she was very prompt in communication and was a dream to deal, helpful, kind and responsive.

We booked this property for our dog’s birthday getaway! We have 2 reactive dogs and the owner is very understanding and accommodating. The fenced in yard is large enough to throw the ball around and for our 2 dogs to run and play without worrying about them wandering out. The best part is the dogs are allowed in the pool!
We had an amazing time, beautiful property, the owner is very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place! They have a nice game room area with pool table and shuffleboard and a good selection of books as well. Netflix was also available on the tv!

My friends and I spent our NYE weekend at this lovely place! Lots of space (we were a group of 10) and super comfortable. Deborah was a great host, very friendly and checked in to see if there was anything more she could do to make or stay better! Overall, I’d love to come again… maybe in the summer to be able to enjoy the pool area and on site activities!

My daughter, her 5 children ranging in age from 5 to 16, and I just spent 4 nights at Sky Haven. We had an absolutely wonderful time.
The property is 27 well maintained acres that includes a trail through trees and meadow with a lovely vista. We stayed in a 5 bedroom suite with 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom. It’s L shaped with 4 of the bedrooms opening onto a long room with a raised shuffleboard game, a pool table, a large dining room table, comfortable seating, and the entranceway.. Down the hallway to the kitchen and family room there is a full and a half bathroom, with the entrance to the master bedroom and spa type ensuite bathroom. The windows look out onto either a long vista facing west for the sunset, or out onto the yard with a large L shaped pool, wonderful custom built playset, and a trampoline. Everything is spacious and designed for comfort. The kitchen is huge and well designed. The family room is comfortable with a large TV and lots of DVD’s. The WIFI is good.
Deborah and her daughter live in a wing of the large building. Deborah and a friend met us when we arrived and helped us get our things moved in. We had the pool, covered furnished patio and yard to ourselves. Although the owner was living on the property it was in no way intrusive, in fact it added to the warmth of the experience. Deborah is a very gracious host. We felt like valued guests. Any questions were promptly answered and Deborah covered and uncovered the pool as per our schedule, which kept it warm and pristine. The property is clean and cozy.
We spent a lot of time in the large pool, which was warm and very well equipped. It has a slide, as well as a diving board. One part of the L is fairly shallow with a volley ball net. There are lots of floaties, pool noodles and plenty of nice large pool towels.
In addition to the above amenities the property also includes a small ranch with 8 horses. Our five kids were able to have a really meaningful horse experience that included learning about the horses and participating in taking care of them as well as a ride.
We hope to go back again next summer if not sooner.

2022 wedding
We found Deborah and her property on vrbo during covid times while searching for a place to have our outdoor wedding. She was super friendly and helpful, and wanted to make sure we had everything needed to make our stay and wedding day special. The property is absolutely beautiful, an amazing setting for a tented/outdoor wedding experience. Deborah was in touch every step of the way, and met with the vendors for setup before our arrival. The guests had a wonderful and breathtaking experience, complimenting our choice in venue, even though it was far for some to travel. We were able to relax the evening of our wedding knowing we were staying and sleeping over, with enough rooms to offer to family members as well. The home itself was clean, spacious and we were provided with all necessities. This is not just a vacation home or wedding venue. sky haven provides the best of both worlds for memorable moments and experiences. We loved it, and so did everyone else.

Beautiful property
We couldn't have been more pleased with our decision to book Sky Haven for our adult family of 4 vacation! From the well appointed kitchen, ample bathrooms, bedrooms & dining areas - you can see that Deborah & her family took care with all the homes details. The pool, BBQ, firepit, outdoor seating areas...to shuffleboard & pool...there was always something for everyone...even horseback riding. The only suggestion I could offer is perhaps updating a couple of the beds. Thanks again from our family to Deborah & her family!

Country setting, large space for entertaining
We used this location as accommodation while we were racing at Mosport. We had some team members and some family with us and the space was set up great for separate entertaining spaces. Although we did not spend much of our day at the Retreat, we did enjoy it when we were there. It is set up to be a great escape with plenty of room to host a large or small group. The owner was very hospitable with our requests. Beds were comfortable and the unit was clean. Recommended!

Wonderful!
I went to this beautiful property this past weekend for a cousins get-away. We all had such a wonderful time. Deborah was extremely accommodating and very kind. She was quick to reply with any inquires I had. The pictures do not do this place justice.
A few of us also did the horseback riding lessons. Ellice was the one teaching us. She was very patient and a great instructor.
I would highly recommend this property and will be booking again soon!
Looking forward to my next stay :)

Amazing location for family fun!
We had an incredible weekend at Sky Haven! Our whole family went to celebrate a birthday and spend some time together . The location is spectacular, an easy drive from the city, with activities for everyone from ages 0 - 80! We had loads of winter fun, with the ski hill just minutes away, nice walks, tobogganing and horseback riding. The house itself is lovely, clean, quiet, with loads of fun games, and beautiful views. We never felt cramped and could find quiet space if needed. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals for our whole crew, and Deborah was fantastic- she answered all of our questions, and was easy to get a hold of if we needed her. We can't wait to coming back, hopefully sooner rather than later!
