We had the best vacation ever at the Yellow House. We were looking for some r & r and boy did we get it. The area is quiet and peaceful, a short walk to a bluff to see the sunset, a bit longer walk to the beach but worth it. The house itself was impeccably clean and the kitchen was fully-stocked. Beds were so comfortable too. We will definitely book here again if we are in the area!

The property was wonderful! The cottage sits on a beautiful lot with close proximity to the lake! There were lots of places to visit within a 20-30 minute drive, and the cottage itself is a cozy home that had everything we needed to fully relax and enjoy our stay. The beach is just a couple of minutes drive from the cottage, and the beach was lovely. The host, Jesse, was only a quick text away and always friendly and positive to communicate with. We highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to visit the area!

Mostly satisfied

Overall the accommodation was very nice and as pictured. The beds were comfortable and it was very clean. We had two issues while there. The jacuzzi tub was great but would not shut off the jets and we had to switch off the breaker to do soThe hot tub had scum in it which was unsightly and made us feel uncomfortable. I messaged the host and a chemical was suggested to help with the bubbles and surface scum. This worked temporarily unless we put the jets on so we turned them off and skimmed the surface. The third time we got in and noticed lots more scum on the surface and in the area of the filter and ended up just getting out. Definitely a disappointment to us. The hot tub was one of the main attractions and with rainy weather it was all we could really do and would have enjoyed it more.

Perfect Cottage

We really enjoyed the cottage. The kids like sleeping in the loft. The hot tub was excellent and it was really nice coming from NS having condiments and oils and some spices available. I love a well stocked house. Thank you so very much. We certainly consider renting here again.

We had a great time at the yellow house!!!

Hi! We really enjoyed our time at the yellow house. Just a few things that would make it better. New frying pans as the other ones are scratched and the kitchen could use a salad spinner. Also, we ran out of dish soap part way through our stay and there wasn’t any stocked. But otherwise everything was great! Loved the new deck! Loved the hot tub! And the comfy cozy feel of the cottage. So helpful having laundry too!

The Yellow cottage

We really enjoyed ourselves this past week. Love the beds and the large centre island in the kitchen. Lots of towels for use in the hot tub. Multiple plug in stations for our phones and tablets. We did not have a fire but it is well set up for enjoyment. Take care getting in and out of hot tub as entry is on the lounger side. The main floor is ceramic tile which is a cool refreshing relief on the feet in these very hot humid days. Jesse was easy to contact and helped us when needed. This cottage is easy to get to and close to nearby beaches. The general store in Port Albert is closed and up for sale. There is no pub or LCBO in Port Albert.
