The cottage was very spacious, yet cozy and warm. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms, all clean and well maintained. It was conveniently located to restaurants, and winter activities. I would love to return in the summer to take advantage of the beach which is just a quick walk away.

A Joke

I stayed in this cottage back in September and I have yet to receive the deposit back. I have emailed, called their house and cells, and I'm not getting anything returned. They have a rule that that give you your deposit back after 45 days... I haven't received mine.. and it's been 70 DAYS so far. I wouldn't recommend anyone rent this cottage. The pictures are very deceiving as well .The cottage is quite old and has a odd smell to it. There is no water access that is in walking distance. They say waterside because the neighbours are next to the water, but that water isn't even swimmable.. more like a marsh. These people have taken advantage of me, don't let them take advantage of you.

9 of us (adults) stayed at this beautiful cottage for a weekend. The place was very clean and spacious.I find the pictures to be a good reflection of what the place really looks like.We went skiing to Blue Mountain which was approx a 10 minute drive (or less). There are a total of 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. One bedroom has bunk beds in it and one bedroom was a lot cooler then the others, but overall I would definitely recommend this. We will be going back for sure!

Lovely House

There were 5 adults and we had plenty of room. The house was large, clean and the property was very well maintained. Close to downtown and the water. The walking trails are right across the road, so the location is great. Everything you needed was there ready for you to walk in and start your vacation. All in all it was a very nice place to stay.

Carpet Chalet

Guest: ba (Revelstoke)
Date of Stay: 08/09/10 Review Submitted: 11/25/10

My mom booked this house for our family to stay there for my brothers wedding in Collingwood. The house is well as we called its the carpet chalet, there is gross carpet though out the house including in the bathrooms and when i say gross i mean you don't want to take your shoes off in the house, the carpet is stained and well who wants carpet in a bathroom. There was one half bathroom without carpet which is got 70's style lineo. The house walls have cracks and you do not want to move your bed since I wanted to plug in a lamp in my room and there were cob webs all over under the bed. When they say waterside I am not sure what they are talking about since you have to walk down the road then though a trail which leads to more of a marsh then waterside!! I have nothing really good to say about this place, my parents are still waiting for their damage deposit back 4 months later and they had said they would deposit it at the end of the month which was in september and we have still have not got it back yet. My mother has writen e-mails but they have not been returned. We are now contacting our lawyer to deal with this! If you are looking for a nice vacation home this place is not for you!!

Collingwood Property Review

Guest: Happy Canadians (Ontario, Canada)
Date of Stay: 07/11/10 Review Submitted: 07/18/10

The property inside met our requirements, it was clean and the bathrooms were all functional. However, the one window A/C unit could not handle the Hot / Humid weather. The property outside severely lacked T.L.C. The barbeque on the deck did not deliver sufficient heat to cook a hot dog. The water was not accessable unless you want to walk through swamp land. The location was good for Collingwood. Alas, the week we were there they were working on the Collingwood to Meaford road highway which caused access problems to the property.

We arrived Collingwood with a rental car after landing in Toronto Airport and find a spacious, clean and tidy house. All necessary technical equipment are aviable. Furthermore bedclothes, towels etc. Some things in the house should be renovate but altogether it's a fine place for vacation. It's very close to Lake Huron and also only few minutes to the town center and several shopping facilities. I would always recommend this retreat!! Uli & family
