Sacred Idleness….such a gift!
Everything about this place is beautiful, healing and filled with amazing energy. Frances is so lovely. I knew I’d like her just from our correspondence prior to arrival. Upon arrival I was so warmly and care-fully received. Her hospitality and desire for my enjoyment parallels no other experience I’ve ever had. The space is clean, beautiful, carefully and artfully decorated inside and out. It was a perfect getaway for a very tired single mama with 2 special needs kids. I definitely came home in better shape than I arrived!! Thank you Frances!

The property was in a great location (we were able to walk everywhere- beach, town, grocery store!) And there was a spectacular view!! Frances was so helpful and sweet and so easy to get ahold of. We didn't get our check in information through the VRBO website, but Frances was so good about the fact that we weren't completely prepared. My husband and I fully enjoyed our time in the house!

Getaway With a View
My wife and I just spent the weekend at this beautiful property and we had an absolute blast. Upon arriving Frances greeted us with a big smile and a welcoming presence. She showed us the suite which was located directly below her own living quarters (But you could barely tell as she made no noise at all). The suite had it's own outdoor area underneath of her back patio overlooking the lake and properties below. We enjoyed the outdoor seating, the hot tub tucked away privately in the covered corner, the large propane fire pit and the cozy interior of the suite. Frances supplied all the necessities for us to have a comfortable stay. A fully loaded kitchen, a larger-than-king sized memory foam mattress, a bbq etc. Frances also created a book with local restaurants and menus. We had never been to Port Stanley before so this guide proved to be incredibly helpful in venturing the town. The suite is far enough away from downtown and the main beach that we weren't disturbed by the tourists, but it was close enough that everything was within a 15min walk. Frances checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and even set us up with free coffees and croissants to pick up from a local café on our way out of town. She is an incredibly lovely host and I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a getaway or to adventure the beautiful town of Port Stanley.

Worst nightmare i have ever experienced!
Frances told us to let her know ETA and she would meet us. I texted her and she wasn't there but the door was opened so we called then walked in. She was not happy. Then we went in and the place smelled very musty, not a clean smell. She stated she smelt nothing. The TV didn't work at all . She then said what would happen if i can't get my handyman. We said then we'll leave. We then went to the beach. We came back to 3 people in our place (not told they were coming) to fix the TV (they were neighbours). Finally got 1 station! The propane tank was empty. The hot tub was warm but weren't allowed to adjust it and the jets were very low and only a few. The kitchen had very few staples in it. I had to ask for a measuring cup! Lots of tea pots though!. The kitchen by day 3 smelled like dead fish and that was the last straw. The place is so outdated and in such need of repairs i would be embarrassed to rent it out. The view was beautiful out on the balcony and the bed was comfortable. We were also informed that we had to take the garbage out and to take the recycables home with us. We left on day 3. Could not tolerate it anymore.

Lovely overall stay
We stayed here for four nights. The suite is rustic and well-equipped. The highlight is the backyard area, with a hot tub, fire pit and barbecue. We used all of these during our stay. The view from the back area is stunning, overlooking the neighbourhood below and the lake. Lots of huge trees and birds. The property owner is very hospitable and tried to do everything possible to make our stay pleasant. The one thing to be aware of, as some previous guests have mentioned in their reviews, is that the property owner lives upstairs and you will hear noise, often quite late, coming through the ceiling from upstairs.

Luv Port Stanley
We booked the cottage but did not know it was a duplex but once we met the owner we were good. Unfortunately when we opened the door to the unit there was this terrible odour. We drove to Sparta and purchased a candle to try to mask the smell. We thought we were good until our friends arrived for a visit and they also said “there was an odour” that’s after our candle had been lit for over 8 hours. Other than that the location was perfect.

Relaxing Weekend Getaway
My husband and I were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway and we definitely found it here. I can't say enough good things about this place. This is a rustic and charming lower level (fully private!!!!!) retreat (the owner is upstairs) and the views of the lake and overall scenery are breath taking. It's very clean, and has all the amenities that you need. The hot tub is an added bonus! (Again, the lower level is private). Sitting on the outdoor couch at night, wrapped in blankets listening to the trickling of the fountain, sipping in drinks, was definitely the highlight of our nights. You can walk to the beach and downtown strip. Due to Covid there wasn't much open but we walked everywhere and enjoyed the town/sites. We'll definitely go back once the lockdown is over and everything is open. If you don't want to walk, the car ride to the strip is minutes away Frances is a wonderful host, if you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, I can't imagine you not enjoying yourself at this place.
