Beautiful little apartment well laid out very clean. Everything you can ever want, and if there was something you needed, the host would help you would definitely go back here again beautiful little spot and quite quiet.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The guest home was wonderful. It was charming, comfortable, clean and perfectly located. Kara was extremely helpful, kind and professional!
This was exactly what I needed for a solo weekend. The thoughtfulness of having items that one may forget for their trip and some snacks are a great added touch. Host was great, very accommodating to a early check in and offered siggestions to check out. The outside space was very private and cozy! Would definitely recommend!
I Absolutly love our stay @ the Greyt escape, really close to the Beach in Innisfil, enjoyed our weekend and the owner was very helpful.Totally recommend it to anyone!!..You wont regret it..
3 glorious days of peace and tranquility set in a beautiful parkland setting.Kara goes above and beyond ensuring our stay was perfect,Thank you Kara!!! We’ll be back
The cottage had everything we needed. Both bed and couch were very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. One small issue which the host helped out with right away. Thank you Kara.
We had a great time at Kara and Kevin’s place ! The property was so cute and we loved the private outdoor space and the huge area for our dog to explore in the back.
There were also so many thoughtful touches in the guest house including a basket of snacks and coffee pods, a supply basket for dogs (including treats, waste bags, towel for wiping paws,etc), and toiletries in case you forgot any of yours. Beyond that, the place was well equipped with everything else you’d need for your stay.
The hosts were also very helpful, kind and responsive. Overall, we were very pleased and would love to come back!
Absolutely stunning property.
The cottage is updated, clean and super inviting.
The bed is so comfortable. Everything you need (kitchen) is there. The cottage is "pet friendly" and I have major allergies to dogs etc, there was no sign of any dog hair etc and my allergies didn't bother me. This alone is a huge plus for me. Really enjoyed my stay.
What a lovely little cottage in the trees! It was exactly what I needed for a working holiday: strong wifi in the outdoor cabana, low humidity, low bugs & greenery. My dog had an awesome time lounging around and I especially appreciated the fire pit. The owners left thoughtful touches as well: snacks, dog towel and well-labelled light switches. It was such a shame there is so much long-term construction going on (dog beach, human beach, multiple roads) that I didn’t know about, it unfortunately disrupted some of my plans. Not the owners’ fault, but I would think twice about returning until all those projects wrapped up. I did also notice it was a quite loud neighbourhood, despite the serene setting away from the road. No escaping the many motorcycles and loud fancy cars on day trips to the beach, fire trucks from the nearby station and neighbours setting off what sounded like canons throughout the day.
Beautiful staycation cabin! Fully outfitted, lovely peaceful feel both inside and out. No noise and hosts were amazing! Cabin kitchen was stocked with everything you need for your stay (even baking trays, cutting boards and a few cooking essentials that would be used in a pinch if you forgot something!). Some extra supplies for furbabies! The 'fireplace' was a nice touch and was totally operational for both ambience and warmth. Bed was very comfy and had the best sleep! Shower had lots of hot water and very good pressure! Backyard/outside sitting area is fully private and very welcoming. We had rain for quite a few days during our visit, but once the sun came out my pupper and I were able to enjoy sitting outside.Beachfront was within walking distance in every direction, quiet and felt very safe staying alone. 5 min drive into 'town'. We also hit up a number of hiking trails all within a 20-25min drive from the cabin. Hosts were super helpful with questions prior to our arrival; very friendly, happened to came out to welcome us when we arrived, but other than that, we hardly knew when they were there! Easy to contact via the app and very responsive. Highly recommend this cabin and the hosts!Will be coming back for sure!!
