We enjoyed the convenience and location of this property. It felt removed and private yet easy to get to town and nearby areas of interest. Cleanliness, and comforts of home are high priority for us and this Meaford home provided both! While in the area, we took a kayak trip down the Beaver River, drove to Tobermory to see flower pot Island, went on a fishing charter and caught Lake Trout for dinner, biked, hiked, fished the Big Head River, visited Blue Mountain and scenic caves, travelled to Sauble Beach, and got in a few games of beach volleyball at the house! It was fun to explore local fruit and farm stands, enjoy a delicious meal at Ted's, dine at the Leaky Canoe and make and prepare a few meals in the adequately stocked kitchen.

Thank you Jessica for the great review . It was a pleasure hosting your family . You were fantastic guests !

We loved staying here. The place is newly renovated with beautiful furniture and appliances and every thought for what you might want is included. Lianne is a great host and was very good with communication. The only drawbacks were that it is right off the highway and nothing is walkable at all, including the nearby Georgian Trail and that the location has many rules. We felt a little on eggshells throughout our stay.
Beautiful, impeccably kept and had everything we needed, except a turkey baster - lol but Lianne bought us a foil roaster that worked great. Only suggestion is a second hand held spot for at least one of the showers so you can shower without getting your hair wet. The hostess gifts were much appreciated. Going to suggest place to others.
We were immediately impressed with the cleanliness and beauty of the cottage. The owner, Lianne, made us feel welcome by adding a few extra special touches by leaving a fresh pie, a bottle of Rose, coffee and cream in the fridge. Our sheets were also spritzed with essential oils to promote a restful, peaceful sleep. We had everything we needed throughout our stay. Meaford is a charming, small town with a few good restaurants, a small beach and other attractions such as a trail for biking and hiking, etc...
The cottage is close enough to Thornburry, Collingwood and Blue Mountain which provided us with alternative areas to visit. Blue Mountain Resort had a lot of interesting attractions. More than we could do in one day. The Blue Mountain area had scenic caves and a suspension bridge that we visited.
Communication with Lianne was very good as well. She was very responsive to texts. We would absolutely consider renting this cottage again in the future. Thank you Lianne for all that you did to ensure we had a great time on vacation.

Rachelle . Thank you for the fantastic review . So happy you enjoyed the cottage as well as the area. Please do consider another vacation to the area . I would love to host you again !
Nous avons passés un formidable séjour chez Liann, nous avons aimé la touche personnalisée avec laquelle elle décors son intérieur, tout est choisi avec goût, l'intérieur comme l'extérieur est très bien entretenu, il ne manque de rien, Liann pense a tout. L'hôte a été a notre écoute, tout est bien encadré, je suggère à tous cet emplacement de choix gérer par une dame charmante et courtoise qui a à coeur le bien-être de sa clientèle. Nathalie et Steeve
Helpful, quick response, a delight to deal with owner.
Spacious clean unit, comfortable, great bbq (and so appreciate the back up tank)
If back to area wouldn’t hesitate to rent again
We were amazed at the cleanliness, furnishings, decor and appointments. Host (Lianne) was beyond pleasant to deal with and attentive to assist in ensuring a comfortable stay. Really should be 6 stars.

Very cosy!
We were absolutely charmed by the place. It was very cosy and neat. The hospitality of the owner is impeccable making us feel very welcome. If you are planning to visit the surrounding area, this is the place to stay!
Most of the activities we had planned were unfortunately between one to two hours drive one way. (Bruce peninsula) So we had to do a lot of driving every day. But we felt at home every evening once back after long days.
Thank you Lianne for everything and your hospitality!

Great cottage
The cottage is beautifully appointed and the host did lots of small touches which were very appreciated (food in the fridge, table set, canoes and other sports accessories available). Nice location between Meaford and Thornbury near a few farm markets.
The only downside--the cottage is next to a highway so you hear cars noises from outside (not inside).
One of the most welcoming of cottages I have had the pleasure of staying in. Clean, homey, close to everything (LCBO ESPECIALLY) and one of the most best hostess one could ever meet. Lianne made it possible with her recommendations to restaurants, waterfalls (a must visit site), etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to vacationing here again with my family and friends.
