It's clean, big, well kept, and has all one needs for a cottage weekend. The BBQ and patio was especially nice. The rooms are big and fit easily 9 adults. The couches are super comfortable. The place is easy to find and with the LCBO and grocery store not too far, we were never short of supplies. Highly recommend!

If you're looking to get some R & R or to hike and explore, your search stops here. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous! It's modern, spacious, private, clean and just a short drive from Toronto. Our host Priya was awesome! She was extremely helpful and responsive. There are lots of lakes nearby where you can go to fish or simply to relax. The nearest grocery store Foodland stays open till 8pm on the weekends which is very convenient. Overall we had an amazing weekend and look forward to staying here in the future.
