10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
We cannot recommend this beautiful spot enough! The water, beach, hosts and cottage were all wonderful. Everything inside is brand new and of the highest quality. Everything we needed was provided.Everyone loved being in the water and enjoyed walking very far out and still being able to touch the bottom (just bring your water shoes). Kellie and Doug were extremely responsive and made everything easy. The quaint town of Meaford is a short drive away and had anything we needed. We would absolutely return again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
This was an incredibly appointed and decorated home. There was literally no utensil, household appliance or linens that were missing. The cleanliness was outstanding and everything appeared to be brand new. Hosts Kellie and Doug were very attentive. When an alarm went off in the water system indicating the need to replace a filter they tended to the problem in a timely fashion. The wifi was outstanding. At various points during the month we had family members working from the home and they had absolutely no issues with connectivity and speed. Our grandchildren enjoyed the shallow, sandy beach but there were rocks as well so water shoes would be recommended. Overall, an amazing stay. Thank you Kellie and Doug!
