Relaxing

My hosts Julien and Juliana were amazing and so quick to respond to any inquiries or concerns. I’m not a hot tub owner, and had questions about running the hot tub, I was in that hot tub every night, it was almost magical, rolling hills and deer visiting the the backyard nightly! As I said, my hosts are awesome and the suite is just a perfect place to relax. Will definitely book again with these awesome hosts!

Not quite the same..

We thought it did not represent wht it said, no welcome kit.. flight came in at 2:00 in morning, no water, 4 coffee pods, one teabag for 3 days, sugar container empty with crap in it, grass looked long, was cut when we left for breakfast the next day, fire pit had cigarette butts, beer can outside of it, pillows dirty with stains and only one each, housecoats left for hot tub, old, ripped, old stain on it.. when it said kitchen, they should say kitchenette, no oven but a portable stovetop one and a half roll of toilet paper for 3 days, I don’t except brand new but if it’s stained, and old!!! Oh and the dog, we came back to rest one afternoon and they must have been out, the dog barked for hours, and woke us up in the morning…

A wonderful getaway for New Years!

We loved spending our New Years together here at this property. Everything was very nice, especially the hot tub. Great place to relax, and it wasn't a far drive from stores and such. The only complaint we had was the bed was a touch too hard (for her anyways) but this was easily remedied by just folding up some blankets to use as cushions. Recommended to bring some kind of mattress topper if you prefer a softer bed. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our hosts! Thanks again, Julien and Juliana!P.S. their dog Marty is a cutie

Oasis in winter-spring!

Julien and Juliana, the owners, are lovely people. The suite is fairly the best in the neighbourhood, having more than essencial to live! Close to buses stop. We had a pleasant time there! Jacuzzi and grill were the best for weekends!

Oasis

On a whirlwind work trip, i got to spend a few days in this lovely suite. It 's half an hour from the airport, 20 minutes to pretty much anywhere else. The hot tub with it's secluded space and great view made it even better! I have to go back and vacation!

Great stay! Hot tub is a bonus!

Had a little get away with my husband. Easy to communicate with property management. Welcome package was delivered as promise (gave a nice little touch to the rental experience). Great location. Love love love the hot tub! Just right outside the door. Overhead coverage (so even though it was raining … we were out in the hot tub).

Very clean and nice decor

The hot tub was excellent, nice and hot, the jets weren't that powerfull. I had to sleep on the couch because the mattress was lousy. Overall it was cute and very clean. Yes I'd recommend it, and suggest a better mattress.
