Very cute cottage vibes

We had a lovely stay, the cottage is so beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. The location is quite nice as it’s close to a little town where you can pick things up or go out for food, but super quiet that you can enjoy some quiet time in the hot tub or just relaxing. My only feedback to the host would be, that we booked for six people and the living room does not really have enough comfortable seating for six people, so I’d recommend changing up the layout/adding some comfortable furniture.

Amazing family vacation

We booked this gem as a gathering spot with our adult children who live in England and Eastern Ontario. Check in was smooth and the cottage was very well equipped. Had a bit of an issue and Kyle was very quick to respond. It’s a huge property with dock, firepit and hot tub and we took full advantage of it. Beds were very comfortable. A short walk to the town's general store which has a liquor and beer store along with all the necessities. We would highly recommend this hidden gem. wassmooth and the c

Hot-tub causes BACTERIAL INFECTION. Avoid at all cost.

My fiancé and I stayed here mainly to use their hot tub. Water was not clean and properly sanitized. It caused my fiancé very painful bacterial infection. Worst part is that the host denied everything even when provided medical proof.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jan, 2025
I am very saddened and disappointed at how this situation has unfolded. As mentioned in our brief, initial exchange, I was very sorry to hear about your fiance’s health issues. In regards to your claim, as I had mentioned, we regularly change, sanitize, and balance our hot tub - and your complaint was the first time one of our guests have ever had an issue. We weren’t made aware of your fiance's situation until six days after check-out. There was no dialogue, but rather, a threatening message and demand for full refund, along with pictures of a prescription. You did not respond to our reply - the conversation ended. This anonymous review has been our first contact since you initially messaged us. We have taken note of your complaint and are doing everything in our power to continue to provide the best guest experience possible.
