Our stay was wonderful. Pictures of the inside of the home belong in a magazine. :) The home was cozy, clean, and well furnished. Our only regret is not having enough time to explore the area.
We absolutely loved our stay! The home was cozy, spotless, and had everything we needed. The host’s thoughtful touches made us feel so welcome. We felt right at home and would definitely return on our next trip. Highly recommended this place to anyone visiting the area!
Cannot say enough, host superb and providing vegetables, extremely clean and very well equipped accommodation away from traffic and next to a local nature reserve where we saw two owls. Thank you for making us most welcome

Our stay was Very peaceful. The cottage was very nice and clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Cleve and Kim are very down to earth people,great to talk to and very knowledgeable of what the island had to offer.

This hidden away gem was perfect for us. It had everything you need, and there were so many extra touches it was really nice. The proximity to the Great Canadian trail was fantastic. Nice paths. The hosts were great. Helpful and informative.
We had an awesome time at this house! It's in a great spot, relaxing, and super convenient for getting around. The house itself was beautiful. Modern yet cozy, it has thoughtful decor that makes you instantly feel at home. It's clear the hosts have put thought into every detail. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and always ready to go the extra mile to make our stay fantastic. Great stay!
We had an wonderful stay at The Nest.It is an exceptional accommodation, very tasteful, comfortable and well appointed. No detail was overlooked in ensuring that we had a very comfortable stay. As advertised the trail head is literally outside your door and all amenities are a very short drive away. We will definitely stay again at this very cozy and beautiful cottage.
The property was exactly as advertised, new and very clean. The unit was beautifully designed. The kitchen was well stocked and had every thing required for a comfortable stay. The rain shower was amazing. The bed and the memory foam pillows were extremally comfortable The location was so peaceful, next to forested park and trails. The hosts were great, very accommodating. We will be back in the future.
100% would stay again. Beautiful place. Friendly host. Loved the dog, squirrels, chickens and rooster.
Fabulous art throughout. Very nicely decorated. Lots of attention paid to detail. Games in the cupboard.
Hadn’t realised the bathroom was through the bedroom so it was a little awkward for my poor Dad who was sleeping on the couch!
We loved the location close to so many trails and the accommodation was very comfortable with beautiful decorating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.
