The peace here is incredible. The home is beautiful! The host is very attentive to every detail, we felt very comfortable and looked after. It was such a priceless experience, a place to decompress, enjoy creation, let our creativity flow, and enjoy our family. So much to do and explore, as well as just sit, relax, and take it all in. Not many words to describe how simply healing it was to be here. We will remember this always and hope to be back again. One of the most beautiful and meaningful stays we've had thus far. Thank you so much Jeanine, we are so appreciative to have stayed here. 🙏 ##### Brad and Hannah T. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorraine C. Aug 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family visit made so much better Son and his family stayed at the home. Very clean. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable. Spacious outdoor. Very private. Weather was extremely warm and the ground floor bedroom wasn't as cool as the adults would have liked but everything else was excellent. Outdoor patio. An outdoor building chock full of outdoor games. The stars at nights! A Harry Potter - under the stairs - reading cubby. We all loved the place ##### Lorraine C. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriel L. Aug 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Remote getaway right off the highway Driving up to the property was everything I had hope for, remote back roads and farm land all around. The inside of the home looks just like the pictures, old, cozy and well upkept. We checked in on our own but could feel the warming greetings from Jeanine with the greeting card, misc local goodies and warm beds ready for some good night's sleep. The perfect spot to unwind with some backyard games, golf down the road and warm fires in the night. Only watch out, fridge space is limited so an electric cooker or some ice for cold drinks is recommended. ##### Gabriel L. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maxime M.

Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah B. Jul 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful escape in farm country This cottage was the perfect getaway for a long weekend with our young children. The property is beautiful with a backyard that is a huge field of crops! An art shed and games shed kept us all very happy. Location is close to a lovely farm. And you can do the beach, beautiful walks, canoeing, treks and fruit picking all within an hour’s drive. It was quiet, peaceful and had everything we needed to keep the kids entertained. Only thing missing was curtains on some of the bedroom windows, but that made us all rise early to enjoy the days. Very clean and well kept property with pretty patio on which we had breakfast overlooking the field. Would recommend to friends ##### Sarah B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Touchstone Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Touchstone-Resort.h37486278.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Peterborough-Waterfront, ON by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Peterborough-Waterfront.h10806.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Gravenhurst Muskoka Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Gravenhurst-Muskoka-Wharf.h2621805.Hotel-Information) > > [Georgian Bay Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Georgian-Bay-Hotel-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h1802744.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Inn.h35593974.Hotel-Information) > > [Valhalla Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Valhalla-Inn.h25234.Hotel-Information) > > [Benmiller Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh-Hotels-Benmiller-Inn-Spa.h1881763.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickering Casino Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pickering-Hotels-Pickering-Casino-Resort.h89435702.Hotel-Information) > > [Muskoka Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Muskoka-Bay-Resort.h49036339.Hotel-Information) > > [Deerhurst Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Deerhurst-Resort.h23864.Hotel-Information) > > [Friday Harbour Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Innisfil-Hotels-Friday-Harbour-Resort.h30029681.Hotel-Information) > > [Carriage Ridge Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Oro-Medonte-Hotels-Carriage-Ridge-Hills-Resorts.h1177104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Thunder-Bay.h30299129.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Mosaic Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Mosaic-Suites.h35593864.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Stone Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Stone-Golf-Resort.h1590687.Hotel-Information) > > [Fern Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ramara-Hotels-Fern-Resort.h9812529.Hotel-Information) > > [The Water Tower Inn, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sault-Ste-Marie-Hotels-The-Water-Tower-Inn.h20693.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus The Arden Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-The-Arden-Park-Hotel.h11525291.Hotel-Information) > > [Horseshoe Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Oro-Medonte-Hotels-Horseshoe-Resort.h41218.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton St. Catharines Niagara Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-St-Catharines-Niagara-Suites.h2609.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Valley Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Hidden-Valley-Resort.h23944.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Village Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Village-Suites.h10940024.Hotel-Information) > > [Superior Inn Hotel and Conference Centre Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Victoria-Inn-Hotel-And-Convention-Centre.h900513.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Sudbury.h19351.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Sudbury.h45671968.Hotel-Information) > > [Hockley Valley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mono-Hotels-Hockley-Valley-Resort.h9779402.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Leamington Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Leamington-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h19347.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Collingwood by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrie-Orillia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Collingwood.h52463807.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Water Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Water-Resort-And-Spa.h6986293.Hotel-Information) > > [Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Westin-Trillium-House.h1357075.Hotel-Information)
