Great location. Great view. Comfortable home.

We were delighted to stay at this beautiful location. The property is spacious with plenty of area to go around. The water is deep and there’s kayaks available. Wish we went during summer to be able to fully enjoy its facilities but hopefully we can go back again.

My family chose this property for our Christmas getaway because our kids moved away for post secondary school but came home for the holidays so we needed a pretty big space. While organizing our trip, I asked a lot of questions that were all quickly answered which made planning and packing a whole lot easier. During our 4 day stay, we cooked 3 meals/day and there was enough dinnerware, silverware and glasses for a place setting of 6 which was perfect for our family. The bigger frying pans were in rough shape but we had brought our own stovetop griddle to cook breakfast so we used that along with their pots and a smaller pan for dinner. The entire kitchen was well equipped to make all meals and there were plenty of helpful kitchen accessories, most importantly the coffee maker, toaster and microwave. The house was warm enough at 20 degrees that we didn’t require extra bedding so the comforters sufficed but there weren’t any fans in the bedrooms to use for white noise which I needed for sleep since the cottage is very still and quiet. It was so peaceful all of the time and this was especially noticeable when you’re outside. I took my dogs for a walk down the street and it was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. The forest setting is very serene so I enjoyed walking through the snowy backyard and down the stairs that overlooked the water and the many wildlife that swam and flew around there. What I loved most about this cottage was the open concept. The kids played with our shelties in the living room while my partner and I cooked in the kitchen and we were still all in the same space to chit chat, dance around and have lots of laughs. We played board games in the evening that we found in the closet and there was also an extra tv in bedroom that had a VHS player and movies. The separate rec room was a bit chilly as it’s a seasonal room but it had an electric heater which made it more comfortable. The cottage was very clean so we made sure to keep it that way and the driveway and steps were even shovelled by our host, which was greatly appreciated for unloading the car to bring stuff in. It only took a minute to figure out the remotes for the lights and fans in the main area and there’s even a working fireplace although it would make a strange noise at times but it was still very nice for heat and ambiance. The entire cottage was very cozy, warm and inviting and it’s only 20 min from Grand Bend so we would definitely stay again!

Good location , very nice off of the water. The host was very communicative but there were some areas that could have been a bit better. Temperature control was a bit confusing & bring your own linens for greater comfort. Great for dogs and you don’t feel like it is a cottage that has had dogs in it. Cute cottage decor . Walking distance and within 5 minute driving distance to local trails . Quick drive to port franks restaurants if you want to eat out . The trees do block the views of the river a bit as mentioned in another review but it’s a very private feeling which is nice. Neighborhood is nice and quiet and natural feeling. Lots of games to play in the closet. Great parking availability . The climb down to the river is a pretty steep staircase but lots of viewing & sitting platforms along the way.

Owner very helpful, lovely area, comfortable big house.

This property is SO beautiful . We spent thanksgiving there and the home as well as the property made for the perfect setting! We especially loved the modern flare to the house . Very very spacious . Big kitchen table for our turkey dinner , and there was a whole separate rec room ! Would definitely say we made memories that will last !

Nice location but wish it had a better view of the water(too many trees). Cottage could have been a bit cleaner on arrival. I cleaned picture windows and dust around kitchen window ledge which held water pitchers and knickknacks. Floor was mopped with strong bleach which I redid with other cleaning product because of safety concern for my little dog. Other than that we made the best of it.

Would rent this property again for a longer stay. Lots of outdoor space to sit quietly on your own or be with others. Very comfortable inside with great view of the river from the living room window. Very relaxing 3 night stay.
