This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sandra S. 12 Jan 2025 #### Be Wary-Lack of Privacy and Noisy Main Road Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Be aware that this property is at the front of a subdivided block fronting a main road so there is very little privacy from an unpleasant neighbour and it is noisy. Not the pleasant, peaceful holiday we pictured. ##### Sandra S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg R. 12 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### All the little things This house is amazing for families, there are a lot of little things that make it really enjoyable and easy to stay here. The house has everything you need for young children including a high chair and port-a-cot with a few toys around to keep their interest peaked, the beds are large and comfortable, the shower is large and the addition of a bar heater on the bathroom is a nice touch. The heater heats the whole house fairly quickly which is nice. Large living area and dining room with a large kitchen that had a fresh loaf of bread with fresh jam waiting for us upon arrival. The double entry driveway makes it very handy for people with large cars or trailers like I had. The only slight negative is it’s on the main Rd. Overall I rate this house very highly and would stay here again ##### Greg R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayden w. 24 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great! the property was as described and the check in process was great ##### Jayden w.
