8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
My family and I stayed here for 3 nights. Overall, it was excellent. Spacious, modern and comfortable with lots of activities to keep us entertained. The only issue was I thought I booked a house with 3 FULL bathrooms based on the description. It's actually 2.5 bathrooms where the half bathroom is located on the upper level where there is a rec room but no bedrooms. All bedrooms are located on the main level. The rec room was a lot of fun but please be careful of the arched ceilings. Quite a few of us bumped our heads when reaching down to pick up ping pong balls or other items closer to the wall. The house was located on a very quiet lot, roughly 45 min away from Tobermory. I would recommend this property to my friends and family.
