Stayed here for a five night getaway with our daughter, son-in-law and 2 year old grandson. The house is extremely well kept and clean with loads of things to do. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we made good use of it while we were there. The fact that there is a baby gate available was so wonderful! We were able to keep the toddler and the dogs where we wanted them to stay. There’s also a high chair and some other related items available, which is also nice (we didn’t use the high chair, since our grandson is tall enough to sit in a regular chair, but it was fantastic that these types of things are available for those who might need them). Neighbourhood is quiet and lovely. We brought along two Australian Shepherds and they very much enjoyed being able to visit the beach at Pinery Provincial Park with us. The backyard is not enclosed and dogs must be kept on a leash whilst outdoors, but this was not a problem for us. The dogs were as spoiled as we were - dog bowls and towels were provided for use as well as a few little treats.Ricardo is a wonderful host, who is always available to help with anything you may need or have questions about. Easy check in and check out. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Grand Bend area! (We didn’t use the sauna or hot tub, as my daughter is currently pregnant, but they looked to be in excellent condition as well!)

Thank you so much for the glowing review, Amy! It was such a pleasure hosting your family, your grandson, and your two Australian Shepherds at Casa Mariposa. I’m so glad to hear that the kitchen, baby gate, and dog amenities helped make your 5-night stay smooth and comfortable for everyone. It’s great that you were able to take full advantage of Pinery Provincial Park and the beach nearby! Big congratulations to your family on the upcoming new addition! We’d love to welcome you all back to Casa Mariposa anytime—hopefully next time you can relax in the hot tub and sauna.
