Tom was a great host friendly and accommodating! Cottage was rustic but clean. Loved the splash pad and the park right across the street and close to the beach! Great stay would definitely go back!
Tom was an amazing host. He quickly answered my calls on phone, even provided a 2 hour early check in when he didn't need to, and even checked up on my group in the evening! Such a lovely experience. Will be returning sometime for sure!
The listing on expedia might be better if it says Cottage # OR # rather than both. Wasn't sure if I was purchasing two cottages or just one :) But cleared it up when I arrived. Loved that there were pans and utensils for cooking and consuming upon arrival. Thank you for the lovely stay!
The price for what we got was outrageous. The cabin was clean enough but tired and the place had a musty smell. Some strange guests that made us feel uncomfortable. Location was excellent, accommodation was sub par for the cost.

Ok stay. Very clean, nice beds and kitchen, cozy place, but there wasn’t enough hot water for the 4 people. Just one had the chance to have hot shower every night.
Great location and clean. Appreciated the kitchen and layout of the cabin.

Tom really makes the stay, he is excellent to deal with and he is really good with kids; the cottages are housekeeping cottages. The family and I really enjoyed our stay it was really relaxing, bring your own bedsheets and towels. The beach is nearby and if you have need for any information or issues call tom

Great location. Very close to the beach. A 5 minute drive but very walkable. Great place to watch the sunset right up the street. A lovely walking trail across from the property. Cottage was cozy, property was nice. Tom was awesome. Very helpful and friendly.

I was looking for a place to stay for 1 night with the kids. We rented cottage #2. It was exceptionally clean, cozy, adorable and affordable. Great location right across from the water. The cottage had everything we needed. The man running the place was super friendly and very attentive to our needs. The kids loved it and we will definitely go here again ❤️

The property is well located, a short walk to the lake.
The kitchen is well stocked, however you do need to bring all linens including dish towels etc.
The mattresses on the bed were not comfortable.
The property manager was helpful and checked to see if everything was good..

Tom was very friendly and helpful. It is super close to the beach and if you want to watch the sunset just down the street. if you have small kids right near a splash pad. if you cycle right on the saugeen shore bike path. We had a great time!
We stayed for an off season weekend which was quiet and relaxing. The cottage itself very clean, fireplace burner needs replacing and would have been excellent because of the chilly weather. Full kitchen, remember to bring not only food, you need to bring toilet paper, dish cloths, dish soap. Luckily there are stores nearby. Loads of hot water.
The staff on site very helpful and accommodating upon our arrival.
In summer season, definitely a lovely spot so close to the beach and port.
