It is a lovely, cozy, modern, clean, and quiet place .

Life has a way of getting busy. As a very busy lawyer, I was looking for a place to disconnect and decompress. Having stayed at one of their other properties in Sauble previously, I had experience with what kind of quality to expect from this host. And this trip did not disappoint. With fantastic communication, to a very easy check-in and check-out, this was a great experience. Let me say that this host pays attention to details. They go above and beyond in making sure that clients have a problem free stay in a beautiful home that is very well supplied and set up.Simple things like the welcome package and wine really set this host apart from others. The home has everything one would need, from a beautifully appointed and highly functional kitchen, to the back deck and grille. The beds and bedding are top notch as were the modern bathrooms. They have taken great care to ensure that their guests have a carefree experience and it truly feels like an upscale getaway, while also feeling like home. I would highly recommend this host, and I would return to this property in a heartbeat. Thank you for making my time off so enjoyable ##### Jim D.
