I stayed here in the wintertime with my family. The space was perfect for the 9 of us and overall we had a very nice stay. I would recommend it. As someone who used to run a short term rental for years, here are what I consider to be the pros and cons...
Pros:
- excellent communication with owner, very helpful
- nicely decorated
- hot tub
- dog friendly with fenced backyard
- layout of the kids room was really cool and fit all 5 of the kids in our family, and they loved it
- very well stocked kitchen
- lovely river view out the back
- close to shops/restaurants, beach and Collingwood (Blue Mountain)
- lots of other nice touches like board games, Bluetooth speaker, plenty of blankets, shampoo/conditioner/soap provided
- backyard fire pit
- high chair
Cons:
- located right on a busy main road (we were surprised that this wasn't mentioned in the listing, however you don't notice this once you get inside the cabin because the main view is out over the river in the back)
- back room of cabin is still under construction and somewhat unfinished making some areas of the cottage quite cold in winter despite the fireplace (owner mentioned she will put a space heater in there for future)
- cleaning fees are high, yet guests still must bring their own bedsheets and towels (plus in our case, the kitchen garbage was left full from the previous guests)
- can't lock the bathroom doors
But overall we had a great time and there was plenty of space for all of us to hang out comfortably. I bet it would also be fun in the summer being just a short walk to the beach.
