Amazing getaway
This is my favourite fall getaway. This gem of a cottage is the place to unplug, enjoy nature, the hot tub and a cozy fire and a movie at night. Love, love, love this place!

Perfect Getaway
The cottage was the perfect escape from normal life. We had a great time with friends and hiking and exploring the small towns around the cottage. We would certainly come back again!

Quiet and secluded
This is a lovely spot surrounded by a cedar forest, an easy walk to Eugenia Falls. Looks like there have recently been some updates/renovations to the house, but a few things remain to be done. The sliding glass doors to the deck need to be replaced (the owner had advised us that it was best not to use the big door out to the BBQ as it comes off it’s tracks, and I didn’t want to be the one to break it permanently). Apparently the doors are on order. Hopefully there will be screens as well, as the mosquitoes swarm at certain times of day. We weren’t able to open any windows in the main living area because they were covered in plastic, but windows in the bedrooms were all operational with screens. The oven also broke just before we arrived, but the BBQ is relatively new, just in need of a scrub. Highlights were the hot tub (very clean and actually hot!) and a very nice fire pit with views of the stars at night. A great spot if you want to hike the Bruce Trail.

Hi thank you for your visit! I’m excited to say the two new sliding doors - living room and master bedroom to deck - were installed last week! Thanks again!

Getaway in Eugenia
This was a beautiful home. It had a well equipped kitchen and was very spacious. We enjoyed the beautiful deck, the campfire and the hot tub. It was so nice to be surrounded by nature. The home was also very clean and our hostess Marcia was easy to be in touch with.

Perfect Home Away From Home
Everything was nice, the older feel made it feel different than just being at home with all the bells and whistles, you had heat when you needed it and cool fans when you needed that. Kitchen, washroom, rooms and hot tub were respectable too. No complaints, the host was a blast too. It is really close to many attractions in the area, be it Wasaga, Blue Mountain, etc. Things to do in bad weather and places to go in good weather. 10/10

I’m sorry to read your review. Dogs are not supposed to be on any of the furniture. The couch is a vintage miscentury piece. I will have the cleaner shampoo the upholstery. Also, we have done considerable upgrades including a kitchen renovation, new hottub, renovations to the bedrooms and some new bedroom furniture. I’m sorry to hear you won’t be back.

Would not recommend
Very hard to get any details on this property from the host. I was scared we were being scammed, countless messages sent with no response. It also mentioned that pets are allowed but then we were charged and additional deposit after the trip for having our pet there(after already paying a pet fee). The building is very old and although it has new paint there are some key beams that look like they are about to fall in. Would not recommend this property or host.

Great location - family outdoor fun
Celebrated our parents 80th birthday. Place was perfect for us! Everything that we needed was there. Really nice cottage feel. Had great backyard fire. Could do a small walk in the woods right from property. Minutes away from waterfalls a s hiking trail.

A space that grows on you
The cottage is located in a very quiet neighbourhood, close the everything but tucked away for quiet. The place could use a little refresh but don’t let that stop you. Spent a wonderfully relaxing couple of days sitting with the fire - best firewood ever - and in the hottub. Would I go back? - definitely yes!!! And our hosts were communicative and accommodating. A great combo.

Thank you for the kind words! I hope you come back again in the spring - we are actually booking contractors to give the interior a fresh look! I will post update pics when they are done. See you again - have a great winter!

Perfect woodsy cabin for a fall getaway
Marcia was a great host. The cabin was really woodsy and yet was within minutes to groceries and some of the most lovely trails. Marcia was super helpful with info about the local trails too. Kitchen equipment was very good, and the whole place was super clean. The outdoor hot tub was absolutely perfect - when it worked. Marcia was just as disappointed as we were that the hot tub was not cooperating. And she did everything possible to make that happen for us - which it did eventually. All in all, a really delightful cabin in the woods.

Great stay
Highly recommended property, really clean, 100% privacy; great stay by the fire outside + lots to do and see in the area. Also, very good communication with the host. One recommendation to the owner would be to double-check the main patio door and maybe make it easier to slide + once the hot tub is repaired, the enjoyment will be even greater. Thanks Marcia; we will be back…

Lovely Family Long Weekend
We had a lovely time exploring close to the cottage, lounging in the hot tub, and chilling by the fire. My husband and son even got a quick little fishing trip squeezed in at Eugenia Lake. Host was amazing with communication prior to and during our stay.

Cozy spot for a late October getaway
The cottage is spacious, hot tub was a huge bonus and the property itself is really lovely. The trails were fun to explore. I think a bit of repair work is in order however, the patio door was almost impossible to open and close and some areas of rot in the deck (especially around the hot tub) should be fixed. I also felt that it could have been cleaner considering what we payed in cleaning fees. There were smudges and fingerprints all over the windows and doors and a pretty musty odour when we first arrived. Wifi didn’t work at all during our stay. Expected a little more for the price.

Amazing winter weekend away.
This private and comfortable house was a great place for our friends and us to stay. The property is nestled in the woods and creates a real feeling of escape. We had everything we needed for cooking and the open concept design made the living space amazing. Beds were comfortable and we all slept like the dead after all the hustle and bustle of the city. We’re already talking about booking this place again further into the winter.
