Waterfront Cottage

Dan’s waterfront cottage is located by Cape Hurd in close proximity to Fathom Five National Park, Tobermory and the beautiful Bruce Trail. The cottage had a great set-up, beds were very comfortable, great games and the most beautiful sunsets and waterfront views. We enjoyed campfires and star gazing from the beautiful backyard. Cottage was clean, had great amenities, and exceeded our expectations. Dan responded in a timely manner when we had any questions for him.

Exactly as described, the cottage is cozy and spacious. The location is secluded but close to town. The waterfront is wonderful. As an artist, I loved the rocky beach and clear water. My sons enjoyed the paddle boarding and everyone enjoyed the evening camp fire. The kitchen is clean and well stocked. The welcome bottle of wine and cheerful card from Dan and Lesley was much appreciated. Thanks for a great holiday!

The location is great and the cottage is well maintained.

On the first day, someone in our group was injured when a drawer containing pots was pushed in, resulting in a cut to the side of their finger and a puncture wound from metal on the same finger. To avoid similar accidents, do not open or close the white plastic drawers from the bottom as the sliding mechanisms beneath move independently of the containers. Upon entering the cottage, we noticed that the property was a little dirty, with crumbs and debris littering the floor. We didn't think much of it until we read the final cleanup instructions in the welcome binder, which asked that the place be left practically spotless. A day into our stay, we discovered that the hot tub cleaning supplies bin had been left open during a rainstorm. Although we initially thought someone in our group had taken off the lid, it turned out to be like that the entire time. We messaged the property owner, but their response was apathetic. I hope this won't be taken out of the deposit. Finally, two members of our group developed bad cases of folliculitis and another member had a similar unidentified skin reaction after using the hot tub during the second and third nights. The hot tub is clearly an old one and if a hot tub is not regularly cleaned after it starts getting used, it will accumulate more and more bacteria; infrequent cleanings may not be able to undo this damage. Do not use the hot tub.
