Georgian Bay Riverside Retreat

Georgian Bay Riverside Retreat

8/10 Good
"The property and experience was good. We enjoyed the stay very much. However, there were some issues with the description of the property and conditions during the stay. (Constructive criticism only.) For example:- The yard between the buildings was occupied by one of the docks stored there; so not very usable.- The septic bed was leaking fumes making the area between buildings unpleasant if the winds were calm or low.- The garage that was supposed to be available for parking was full of miscellaneous items and materials and therefore not available.- Inside was well equipped but little things needed repair/tightening or cleaning. e.g. loose toilet seats, loose water spiggot, curtain rod that fell off, non-functioning blinds, etc.- The sofa & futon in the main building were very uncomfortable although those in the cabin were very comfortable.- The stereo & DVD player were not present but we had our own devices and used the TVs. Satelite service and internet were excellent.- The general store down the road was very good and had most if not all essentials. Too bad neither advertised this. We didn't need to bring as much food as we did.- Lots of outdoor chairs and benches so we didn't need the ones we brought.- RO water filter for drinking water was a great idea/feature.- There was a row boat but no oars. Didn't know if it was OK to use it so we left it alone. Kayaks were fun for those who could use them (not older folks).- Deck nails protruded. Railing not to code."

It truly made the stay feel easy and stress-free.The hosts were also fantastic. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were friendly, responsive, and very helpful whenever we had a question.Overall, this cottage exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, spacious, well-equipped place to stay.

"Beautiful log cabin. Gorgeous interior and vast exterior. I would add a fire pit instead of a fire table. That is my only tiny criticism. The rest was amazing. Real nice."
