Great time had by all

Communication with Melanie was wonderful both before and during the stay, as she was very responsive and gave great tips. The photos on the listing were accurate and we had everything we needed. Though the kitchen isn't large, the layout meant that we could have several of us in there and still easily move around each other. There is lots of space in the cottage so we could choose to hang out as a group or have some solo time. We loved the spacious deck and yard. Thanks for the wonderful week!

A Christmas To Remember

My cousin and I were raised on Christmas in Port Loring, but as our families have expanded and lives changed, we were no longer to keep up this tradition. This year, we decided to replicate the Christmases of our youth for our own children and for the generation above us who gave us this gift in our childhood. The tricky part was finding a location that could house our large families.Hilltop Cottage exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived we were so pleasantly surprised by how roomy it was and how many things were at our disposal to cook large meals and surprise treats. More importantly, there were so many things for our kids to do! They never got bored once, and I am pretty sure they did not even do everything available to them. The loft area is particularly awesome with a mini-fridge, running water, pool table, games, TV, playstation, books, and crokinole. The host even had a Christmas tree, lights, and stockings for all.In terms of location, the property was beautiful with quick access to the LCBO, lake, and restaurants in the area. The wood in the cottage is stunning (particularly the floors) and views when walking around the town also lovely. We even had some deer visitors.

Perfection in Port Loring

Three generations enjoyed our annual family get away at Hilltop Cottage. From booking to arrival to departure Melanie was responsive and easy to deal with. She went out of her way to make it really special for our granddaughters with the purchase of a wading pool for the deck. The cottage was absolutely spotless! No issues letting the 8 month old crawl everywhere (except the dog bowl; also a nice touch to have 2 provided). The small beach is just a short walk. Sand for the kids to play and calm, clear water with sandy bottom for everyone to enjoy. But the cottage is the highlight of the trip. Comfy beds, great layout for extended family sans dog, clean bathrooms and well appointed kitchen. If they don't have it, you don't need it. Fridge/freezer combo were empty and ready for us to fill. Also a chest freezer (empty) for our use was appreciated. A huge, clean BBQ on the deck really impressed the men in the group and they used it, a lot!! The loft with TV (movies galore and XBox games), pool table, loads of board games and bar fridge made our one rain day very enjoyable. We highly recommend Hilltop Cottage whether you're looking for a week of tranquility or a week of fishing, fun and games (or a bit of both). It's there and it's fabulous!!! Thanks Melanie for a wonderful, memory filled family vacation.

The cottage is roomy and I loved the fenced-in deck for my dog to be able to roam around. There is plenty of space to sleep however eating indoors with a full house is a challenge as the dining area is not large. If you are lucky enough to get good weather, eating outside is very enjoyable - the huge screen house protects you from mosquitos & wasps. The beach closest to the property is part of a closed down, for-sale business that allows public access to the beach - suitable for small kids. The public dock, even closer than the beach, is a great spot for fishing.My absolute favourite part of our stay was the quiet serenity in the mornings. Looking out at the lake, enjoying a cool breeze as the sun rises was just heavenly.Melanie (host) is very responsive and quick to answer questions.Few tips for the area if you're staying here: the "Buchanan's Hardware" store carries some basic food stuffs and ice, you don't need to always drive all the way to Polly's down the highway. Argyle Community Center (5 min drive) has a lovely farmer's market every Wednesday, worth a visit given that there's not a ton to do around.

We just got back and had a wonderful time

The owners were great and kept us up to date with anything we needed to know. Place was clean and well maintained. Close to the beach. Our family took advantage of how close we were to some provincial parks.. Only thing that I would suggest is a larger table in the front room so a large family like us could eat together

very pleasant

We had a very nice, comfortable week. The property is filled with things to do and we utilized many of the toys. Thanks. A couple issues would be surface cleanliness is awesome but under furniture where infants seem to go needs attention. The upstairs shower head could be de-calciated or replaced and one kitchen chair is wonky.. Other than that the place is terrific and we enjoyed our stay.

A great spot for a big group

The one thing I appreciated about the hilltop was the communication with Melanie. She was very easy to connect with and any concerns or issues that our group had, she quickly addressed them. We had some issues with a few things but Melanie was very fair to address them Plenty to do at this property, rain or shine. The house itself had many amenities to keep you busy, from the outdoor volley ball and ladder ball to water rights and a pool table in the rec room. We had young children with us and they had a blast. There are canoes and a pedal boat for use and the launch is just a short walk away. There is also a beach down the street, it is not too elaborate but perfect and calm for younger children. The neighbours were all very friendly. Everyone greeted us with hellos and smiles. We even borrowed sugar from one of the houses. The house is equipped with pretty much everything you need, which makes planning a get away that much more simple. Thanks Melanie for a memorable vacation.

A wonderful home for a stay away. Beautiful lake views. All amenities provided. We discovered a number of rivers and lakes in the area for our annual kayaking adventure. Really perfect.

Excellent Vacation ... home away from home

This Cottage on the hill more than met our expectation. The house was clean and well equipped. There was plenty of grass area for my grandson to run around. Adults and teens made use of the volleyball net in the back yard. The cottage is just a short walk to the beach. Loved having use of our own canoe. The residents in the town were very friendly. The owners were very responsive before booking, after booking and while we were there. I highly recommend.

Roomy, clean, nice property.

As above. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only issues related to dull knives, no spatula, no large bowls for mixing and beating ingredients, one stove element was missing, no Netflix or cable TV, Kevo locks didn’t work. We had to phone and email the owner a few times - she was very nice and tried to be helpful.

Great place! Perfect for a family getaway.

The cottage is spacious and allows for a large family, lots of room for kids! It's a tiny but nice town with a great dock for swimming , ice cream and some neat little shops. Very enjoyable.

LOVING PORT LORING

THE OWNERS ARE SO LOVELY AND PROMPT TO RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU ASK. THE PROPERTY AND HOUSE ARE WELL MAINTANINED. THE NEIGHBOURS ARE OVERALL PLEASANT. THE NEIGHBOUR TO THE LEFT ON THE HILL (AS YOU PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY) LIKE TO TELL YOU WHERE YOU CAN PARK- IGNOR THEM! THE TOWN IS FREINDLY, PLAYED BINGO ON TUESDAY NIGHT, WENT TO THE MARKET ON WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND VISITED THE GIFT SHOPS AROUND TOWN. THERE IS A NEW BUILDING THAT JUST OPENED BY WILSON LAKE-THAT HAS QUICK FOOD, ICE CREAM AND A GIFT SHOP. IT WASN'T FULLY OPENED LAST WEEK- THE GIFT SHOP HAS VERY UNIQUE ITEMS. JACK'S AND ROXIE'S ARE GREAT DINER'S -BUT- EXPECT TO WAIT QUITE A WHILE FOR YOUR MEAL (WELL WORTH THE WAIT.) BEST BET IS TO GO FOOD SHOPPING IN NORTH BAY AND COOK YOUR MEALS. MELAINE AND MIKE (THE OWNERS) WERE THE MOST WONDERFUL HOSTS- THEY RENT TO ANYONE WANTING A WONFERFUL TIME AWAY "IN THE STICKS." I FEEL COMPLETELY RELAXED AND REFRESHED.
