We purchased the property in April 2023 for our family. Our family spent a lot of time and money to renovate the property. The work around the property was completed as of June 2024. We are new at the short-term rental business and figured it’s the best way to recover some expenses. We have since been working to improve the property and service for all our short-term rental clients. We hired a new cleaning staff to make sure the property is 100% clean. We have gone to the property several times after the cleaners completed their work to make sure the cleaning was completed properly. We are confident our new cleaning staff are performing to our high expectations. We have added a 600-gallon cistern system to store enough water for large groups of guests. The Well was not producing enough water to service the 4 full washrooms and 6 bedrooms. We spent over $25,000 to fix that problem immediately after a tenant brought the issue to our attention. The water problem is fixed. The Well is able to keep the tanks full. Please understand this is a cottage and services are all self-sufficient. It’s not a property in the city. People need to temper their expectations. This includes internet services which are limited because of the location. We are in cottage country not the big cities. Since last year, we added a whole house back-up generator since Muskoka has consistent power outages. Added an A/C unit to the house. With fans in the bedroom duct work to draw air into the rooms to balance out the heat and air conditioning since it is a large house with two floors. Covered 55 feet x 12 feet of the rear porch which provides outdoor living space. Includes 18 pot lights, several wall mounted lights and 4 fans to keep bugs at bay. This provides a seamless indoor and outdoor living experience so that all guests can experience Muskoka’s natural beauty no matter what the weather brings. New steel roof, gutters, and soffits. Replaced all damaged dock boards and built out a new deck that is not covered at the rear of the house overlooking the lake. We have new cement walkways to the front and side deck entrance with an outdoor sun heated shower to clean up after swimming or adventuring in the outdoors. Finalized the property by landscaping the grounds with low maintenance mulch which accentuates the natural landscape adding to the beautiful natural appeal of Muskoka Lakes. Nicole and her family were excellent guests. They rented the property January of 2024. After several other large groups rented during Christmas and for New Years without any problems. Unfortunately, late on the second day of a three day stay Nicole’s family encountered problems with the quantity of water supplied by the Well. We never had this problem in the past. They were unable to finish the holiday celebration with her extended family. As compensation we refunded the entire amount of our gross profit. I promised her the entire payment amount they paid to VRBO. VRBO charges a 15% fee and HST. They received a refund for the entire stay. Although they did not receive the money charged by VRBO and the government (taxes). Nicole and her family wanted to return at cost the following year. Nicole did not contact me for several months by which time we already had a booking. Our sincere apologies to her and her family. All guest experiences are reviewed, and changes are made immediately to rectify any problems. We strive to provide an outstanding experience based on our ratings to date - we have achieved this endeavor.
