We stayed with another couple, as a little get away for ourselves. The house was everything advertised, and more. A hidden gem, a quick drive from town. Taking in nature, while enjoying the hot tub and sauna for relaxation. Games room didn’t get used much, as we couldn’t get enough of the outside beauty. But we did sneak a few games of pool in. The house was wonderfully maintained and clean. Excellent appliances for all our indoor and outdoor cooking needs!Thank you so much to Ricardo and Angela, who would respond within mins if we had a question or looking for advice.

Great stay

Casa Mariposa was the perfect spot to stay for myself and my family. With close access and a free day pass to the Pinery, the house is ideal for those that need an accessible, comfortable place to stay if your group isn't up to camp. With a sauna, hot-tub, whirlpool and a fire pit, it feels like being the campground but with so many extras. Lots of indoor activites for rainy days and additional outside games and things to do for kids. Just the right amount of communication with our host. Place was cozy and comfortable. Clean and organized. I'd totally recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at this very lovely house. It did not disappoint the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything you needed, the game’s room/screening room was a very nice touch. I enjoyed a hot tub before retiring for the night. The back deck and fire pit provided a great space to spend time outdoors.

They thought of everything!

My family recently stayed at this property for a few nights. The communication beforehand was excellent and the hosts were always quick to answer. The property was so clean and like the title of this says, they literally thought of everything. From snacks when we arrived, to a basket of “in case you forgot” that includes chargers, toiletries etc. There were so many amenities-the hot tub was so nice on a chilly night and my teen girls loved the projection tv and pool table. The beds were so comfortable and our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!

Perfect place to stay for a couple or family

Perfect place to stay. Quiet, peaceful and all the privacy you want. The hot tub is a perfect touch to relax after your day of traveling. Great touch leaving a park pass as the beach was lovely. What you see in the picture and read in the information is exactly what you get. The hosts were awesome always there to help and give suggestions for things to do. We would definitely come back. Definitely a 5 Star. John & Beth

Casa Mariposa

Beautiful property inside and out. We had rainy weather the whole time so we never got to enjoy the fire pit who h we were looking forward to doing. We made the best of it with lots of hotbtub time and enjoying the fantastic game room. The only negatove thing is the the deck and stairs outside were very slippery when they are wet. I would highly recommend thos property!

Terrific Long Weekend

Our family had a terrific time at this beautiful property. It had everything we needed from the outdoors to the kitchen to the entertainment area. The kitchen was very well-equipped with everything you needed to make a gourmet meal. Hot tub area, fire pit and trampoline were definitely a hit. We had one rainy night so we could take advantage of the game in the basement, including Foosball and Pac-Man machine in the basement, as well as the home theatre. Property is very well-maintained. Cops Communication with Ricardo and Angelo was excellent.and they were very responsive. Ipperwash Beach is about 10 minutes away, as was Grand Bend. Wonderful stay and we will definitely return. We were there during the September long weekend, but I’m sure a winter stay would also be great as they have a heat lamp In the hot tub area..

Parents Weekend Away

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway with another couple—nothing too busy, just a peaceful place to unwind, catch up, and enjoy some low-key activities. This property was the perfect fit!We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, cozying up by the outdoor fire pit, cooking delicious meals together, playing pool, and simply relaxing. The location was also ideal for visiting Shale Ridge Winery and exploring a few nearby golf courses.The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very well equipped. There was plenty of space for two couples, and we’re already thinking about coming back with our kids next time!

Fantastic Stay

I cannot think of one thing the hosts could do differently to improve upon our experience. The teens loved the PacMan and the pool table. Relaxing around the fire was great and the hot tub was enjoyed.Some little details we appreciated that are not usually found at other rentals include; oil, salt and pepper. New and matching plates, cutlery and glasses. New pots and pans. Charging ports everywhere. Fans in the bedrooms. Space heater in the basement bedroom. Coffee included. and Creamer and sugar and tea...A welcome snack basket. Smart TVs. So many board games! Clean and neutral and organized.Beach chairs.. A heater on the back deck!! I could really go on and on. This home is definitely a must.! Enjoy your stay, we certainly did.
