A table in the bathroom would be nice.
Maybe a hot plate or something to cook on.
The bed was not the greatest.
Beautiful property and the experience was overall very good.
Mike and Kim were extremely friendly, Kim met us upon arrival, gave us details in things to do while we stayed and Mike came to check on us our second night and was super pleasant!

Price was high for what you got.
No coffee maker, microwave, tv.
‘12” DVD player with some dvd’
Queen size bed. Small room, no a/c
Was the only available option when we booked.
Book well enough in advance for better selection!

Sorry you couldn’t find the coffee maker or the microwave, but they were just behind the entrance door above the fridge, nice chatting with you that night but you should have said something while I was visiting you, thanks, mike

The place was OK except the mattress was not comfortable, and the night dog barking.

Clean and comfortable unit
Nice location, close to town, clean and comfortable. I would have liked a few extra blankets, we only stayed one night, so I never asked for them. Convenient kitchenette was nice too. I’d definitely stay here again

Cozy Cabin
Very comfortable cabin within walking distance of shops and restaurants in Tobermory. Pleasant outdoor space with fire pit and grill. Mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker ensure that it’s easy to prepare simple meals.
Perfect for a trip to Tobermory! Very close to downtown shops and restaurants and a quick drive to the national parks. Great communication and very welcoming when we arrived.
Pro: very clean and decorated cute along with great parking for a car and large truck.
Owner very nice and willing to help in any way.
Con: advertised as a cabin but mostly like a small hotel room. One bed one bath constituted the cabin actually was one small room.
Value for money was not there, however, did not check going rates for hotels in Tobermory and it was very busy in Tobermory at the time.
Really nice space for spending couple of nights in Tobermory, Mike was very helpful and welcoming with all the details and things to do around the area.

First time to visit Tobermory . We stayed at the Mikanaak cottage ( Mad Trapper) . Checking in and out was a breeze. Mike (owner) is easy to talk to and handle issues efficiently . Place is close to main town. Few minutes walk only. It’s a plus bec they charge for
parking in town. I would definitely recommend this place.

Great place-high price not warranted for issues
First - the check-in process was very easy and very friendly. Overall I would stay here again. However, there was a few cleanliness issues, towels are folded and left wet, the fridge leaked (which was brought up to the owner’s attention). The shower curtain rods and bathroom mirror were rusty. I don’t overly agree with the price we paid because of the aforementioned issues.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Actually your issues were addressed, the towels were right out of the dryer, the fridge was on a defrost cycle because the previous guests for 4 days actually turned the fridge up full and it was frozen, hence the water and the mirror was actually bought that way for the look. Thanks for staying with us, mike

Easy walking access to the main attractions of Tobermory, but slightly away from the main bustle. Right beside Tacomory. Good location.
We stayed in Mad Trappers cabin behind the main cottage, right on Hwy 6, 4 minutes drive from Tobermory harbour. Very cute cabin, clean and spacious enough. Nice owners.
Mike is an amazing host. The propery is close to almost all tourist destinations in Tobermory.

Disgusting
Room looks good in photos listed for room and looked okay upon first entering room. Upon closer inspection, shower head looked like something out of a horror movie and box strings were old and stained. Dirt under mattress made it clear that no through cleaning of rooms is done. As i once ended up with scabies from a room that looked like that, there was no way I could sleep in that bed. We left and found accomodations with friends several hours away.

We are sorry to hear you felt this way about the room. We wish you would have contacted us with your concerns as soon as you noticed the things you were unhappy about rather than staying in the room for 4 hours and then leaving. We take great care in cleaning each of our 3 units, especially during the current pandemic, and have never had a complaint about the state of cleanliness of our rooms in the 7 years we've been in business. Cleanliness is our top priority, and always has been. This dedication to cleanliness is often mentioned in the reviews we receive.
Regarding the shower-head, as much as we try to soften our water, Tobermory is known for having hard water. The appearance of calcification on the shower head is not a result of dirtiness, it's a result of having hard water. We will be sure to de-calcify the shower-head more frequently in the future. As for the marks on the corner of the box spring, we purchased both box springs and mattresses this summer. We originally had them in a different rental property, and when my husband was moving them into the current one, the corners hit the ground outside. We tried to get the marks out as best we could, but we could not get them out completely. Given that the box springs were quite expensive, we could not justify the purchase of new box springs for such small marks on the corners. Had you contacted us about these concerns while you were still there, we would have done our best to rectify the situation at that time.
We loved everything about this place, the host was also very friendly and hilarious. Will recommend to everyone and will be definitely be back for longer stay ))

Not as advertised
So there is NO internet in this cabin as advertised and this is not a studio The internet is outside in the parking area. When I mentioned this to the owner he just said "yea . Crazy eh?" There is also no radio, no TV , no glasses (not even paper cups), no kleenex. And while there is a coffee maker and tea kettle -bring your mug and coffee fixin's. Only water is supplied. The bed was comfy and the water pressure was very good but if you want anything else (like a glass? or internet or radio) this is not the place for you. The vivacious owner is aware of the deficits but there is no competition and everything in town is always booked months and months ahead. Just not very good value for the price.

The mad trappers cabin is designed as a rustic cabin from its log bed to the decor of old days gone by. It is not a high tech place but one that sits behind the cottage surrounded with trees and rock and a fire pit. Most guests say That after living in the city it’s just perfect for kicking back and relaxing. No tv, even though there is a small one with just movies, guests say it’s just nice to get away in a simple cabin. It’s not a studio, it’s a cabin as advertised
Stayed in the Mad Trapper. Clean and welcoming, not even a 5 minute walk into town. Upon check in we were told recommendations of where to eat and the must-sees in Tobermory. Would definitely return!
