This is a beautiful setting with easy access to the rocky beach along Georgian Bay. The sunrises and sunsets were breath-taking, the night skies were perfect for star-gazing, and most of the time the only sounds were birdsong and quiet waves. The Bruce Trail is a short walk away, with both rocky shoreline views, and side loops into meadows and forests.
The cottage had good kitchen appliances, a smart TV, reliable fast satellite WiFi, and a new air-conditioning system. Outdoor areas including the deck, gazebo with picnic table, and chairs along the beach, provided lots of relaxation options.
I booked according to the 9.8/10 ratings and discounted Johanne B.'s 4/10 rating from June 2025. Unfortunately, we experienced many of the same issues as Johanne's family. The cottage was incompletely cleaned on arrival, with surfaces not wiped, floors not swept, and dirty dishes in the cupboards. The owner responded promptly, the local manager brought us supplies, and the cleaning team was informed of the deficiencies. The listing states there is a drilled well and UV filtration system, but the water is not drinkable, and renters must bring their own drinking water.
The cottage was built around 1975 and there is "deferred maintenance" of windows, doors, flooring, and bathrooms. The BBQ was rusted. We can confirm there are working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors on both floors.
I hope the issues raised here get corrected, and lead to an improved experience for future renters.
