We chose Erica's property for several reasons; a main one is that it allowed us to bring our two cats to stay with us, for which we're very grateful! The setting is even nicer than you can tell from the pictures: the driveway is off a quiet country road, and the property has trees and some wetland on each side, separating it from the neighbors. The furniture is comfortable and in good condition. The woodstove helped the living room feel extra cozy when it was cold and rainy out, and the grill worked well. We would have loved to use the very nice looking firepit and sit in the comfy Adirondack chairs on the dock, but the rain lasted all week. Not the owners' fault! The kitchen is very well supplied. Although the cottage has no wifi, we were able to get all of the data we needed to email, read the paper, and play games on our phones. We were concerned when we learned that the cottage has no drinking water, but it wasn't a problem at all. The water is fine for cooking, showers, washing, etc. For drinking, we used a 10-liter jug (purchased locally -- easy to get) with the cottage-supplied pump on top--just like getting water from the fridge at home. The nearest town has a small general store and a hiking trail in the woods. The nearest big town, with supermarkets and restaurants, is a half hour away. There's a trail along the sound, and Algonquin Park is about an hour away. Erica was very responsive and helpful in all communication. We would stay there again.

Everything was as advertised. Hosts are transparent about the work that still needs to be done to improve the cottage but it had everything we needed - including toys for our young child and our dog.

I’ve been to Erica’s property several times and it never disappoints. Cozy, comfortable and clean. The kitchen is very well supplied. Hope to return in the future!

The cottage does need quite a bit to fix up. The main hand railing is broken and is not safe to use, The lower half of the screen door is bent so it does not close all the way leaving a gap of at least an inch. So we couldn't use it due to the bugs. We did find quite a bit of mouse droppings around the inside of the cottage. The inside of the stove was dirty and we did not want to use it in case of a fire. Some of the cook ware is really worn and had loose handles. We had difficulties getting the BBQ going due to a problem with the regulator. Also the lower section of the BBQ under the burners was completely rotted which could of led to a grease fire. There is little privacy from the neighbors on both sides. The property manager also decided to cut the grass while we were on the back patio. I would expect this be completed in between rentals.
