Great family vacation!

We all really enjoyed our stay! We had a family of 7 and all felt very comfortable! House was well stocked with pots pans and the essentials when we arrived! The bedrooms were very comfortable and clean, very well kept. Air conditioning units in two bedrooms on top floor which is great after a long day! However when cooking a big meal with oven on main floor it can get warm:) Backyard was very spacious and had lots of seating and a wonderful deck where we ate most of our meals! Very close to Meaford downtown and beach and was in a nice neighbourhood. Definitely would stay again!

Perfect Retreat

For something so close to everything you could need you feel like you're miles away from the world. Everything we forgot to pack we could find. The property was secluded and peaceful. My kid and dog had an amazing time on the property and I hope to book it again. Clean and peaceful. Highly recommend

Looks are deceiving

While this quaint cottage boasts many nice features such as the sizeable kitchen and outdoor area, closer inspection on the condition of the home leaves a lot to be desired. From the moment we checked in the home had a very musty smell and felt very damp. Closer inspection revealed some serious moisture and mold issues in the downstairs bathroom. Even the furniture in the living room felt and smelt musty and damp. A dehumidifier and some mold removal are a must. Sitting outside on the back patio was nice, but you do need a great amount of strength the open the back door. We also couldn’t leave the door open as the storm door had holes in the screen and with the many mosquitoes around they would have filled the house. The air conditioner for the upstairs bedroom was appreciated, but it does drip onto the deck below, careful where you sit. The general cleanliness of the place was good. The beds were comfy and linens were fresh, but like I said closer inspection revealed there is a little more going on with this property that needs some attention. We were glad our stay was only two nights.

This was a good guest that I had the pleasure of meeting. I disagree with their comments about the main floor bathroom, I see no evidence to support their claim. I am glad they mentioned that the house was clean with fresh linens and good beds etc which is great. Please see my other reviews.

Fantastic stay

What a great place! Very convenient location with a 5 minute walk to a little river and maybe a 15 minute walk to downtown Meaford. The back yard is huge and the fire pit was a great perk! We didn’t get the chance to use the back patio and bbq but everything was just really nice. The kitchen was fully stocked and must have been recently renovated because it all looked so new. Very very clean

Peaceful vacation

The house is located in a nice, quiet and friendly neighborhood. I really enjoy the big backyard with lots of trees. The kitchen had everything we needed. It had 3 good size bedrooms. I really liked the one with the 3 single bedrooms. The whole house was very neat and clean. I think the deck needs some update. Unfortunately we had our nice vacation cut short by some terrible news we received. Carolina L

Great Cottage & Location

We had the best time. The backyard is huge. My dogs loved it! The fit pit was amazing too. You are really close to the water but have the privacy of a property surrounded by trees. The little town was so cute! We went out to pub, had vegan ice cream, went to the beach, drove to neighbouring towns for more activities. It was the best. Everything you need is on site. Cooking ware, laundry and shower. We loved it! Thank you for having us.

Great location cute place

Our family (spouse and two adult children) planned on doing some hiking in the blue mountain and Wiarton region and this place was a great in between. It was very clean, had all the necessities of home (minus a lighter for night time fires - but we left ours behind for the next visitors) and had a beautiful backyard that our dog loved playing frisbee in.

Why they chose this property

The property is my second home, in the area I grew up in, and plan on returning to.

What makes this property unique

Location location location - huge property with tons of privacy, yet in town. There is a forested hill, a large yard for a soccer game, and a great place for a fire (10 chairs). Also, Meaford is a great quiet town, yet close to Georgian Bay and lots of recreation and tourist activities.
