Great house on the lake

The lake house was a great getaway for our family. It was clean, spacious and had great views of the lake. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock while we sat on the outdoor furniture and balcony. We really enjoyed our stay here!

We had a great stay at this rental in Hayden, Ontario. Althea was an excellent host, her communication was top notch and she answered all of our questions quickly and clearly.The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable, even during our winter visit when there was a ton of snow in the area. We were visiting family and also spent time skiing at Searchmont, which was only about a 25-minute drive away — super convenient.Overall, a fantastic place to stay with a wonderful host. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it.

I’m truly happy to hear that you had a comfortable stay and that the home had everything you needed, even with all the winter snow. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’m glad the location worked well for your family visit and your time at Searchmont Resort. Your kind words about the communication and the home mean a lot to me. You were fantastic guests, and you’re welcome back anytime. I’d be delighted to host you again on your next visit!

The place was great and clean. The host was sometimes empathetic and patronizing while communicating by writing but nice face to face and reactive when something was needed.

Perfect place

This was the perfect place to stay for the weekend. It is very clean and quite. The deck is the perfect place for morning coffee and meals overlooking the peaceful lake. Althea was quick to respond to inquiries. I would definitely stay here again.

Incorrect entrance information. Garbage in the fire pit, metal in the fire pit and rusty screws on the ground at the fire pit, stairs and ramps that were not built to standard, wet wood, a single tire on the downstairs deck, other pieces of garbage we picked up around the yard. No smoke detectors for the downstairs bedrooms, garage door handle that almost came off when opening the door. Other issues too. There were bed sheets and towels left in the dryer.

Great spot!

Nice property on Heydon Lake. The house was fully equipped and the furnishings very nice. The kitchen is spacious with modern appliances. Bedrooms and beds were very nice and comfortable. Nice quiet lake with great bass fishing right of the dock!! Just a few minutes from Sault Ste Marie and not far from Lake Superior. Overall we had a great experience at Snazzy Getaway.

Heyden stay

The setting of this property was lovely. Right on the water with views from the easily accessible upper deck. The inside of the home was impeccably decorated and furnished with all of the necessities. My family and myself felt right at home. The beds were very comfortable and cozy with beautiful linens We hope to return soon

Perfect spot for a homecoming!

We chose this property because of it’s proximity to downtown Sault Ste. Marie, while at the same time being quiet and away from the bustle. I grew up in the Soo, and this trip was my first time back in over 30 years, and the first time bringing my family to Canada. It is abundantly clear that a tremendous amount of effort has already gone into making the property homey and comfortable, and there is additional progress being made. I could not have asked for a better experience, check-in was easy, communication was great, and the place is wonderful!!

A Lovely Retreat

This VRBO has been set up with care and welcomes you after your travels and adventures in the SSM area. The beds and living areas are attractive with comfortable seating, beds and excellent sheets and pillows. The kitchen is well set up with all new furniture and dishes. Waking up to the mist covered lake is beautiful. We enjoyed quiet cups of morning tea and coffee. The host is very responsive. We were able to swim from her neighbours property. We had a small dinner party with cousins we had not seen in many years. Very enjoyable getaway.

Perfect!

What a perfect house for our peaceful respite while driving the Lake Superior Circle Tour! We stayed here for 5 nights and enjoyed every one of them! House was clean, comfortable, cozy, had everything we needed. Early morning coffee and early evening wine on the deck was a delight! We even had a peaceful campfire one day watching water wildlife. Althea was easy to contact & always responded immediately. We couldn't have asked for a better host! (She even had marshmallows for us to roast if we had a campfire.) Loved it here, and we'd stay here again if we come back to Saulte Ste Marie..

Great location just minutes from Sault Ste Marie. The sunrise was amazing as it rose over the lake. Really appreciated the separate lounging areas, one up and one down. I read as my Mom slept upstairs Not far from. Crystal Falls and if you need chips check out the Hayden corner store..
