For 3 days the price was okay, however the website said there is a fridge, dishwasher, and WIFI with the ability to sign in to my Netflix account. The fridge, wifi and dishwasher was not working day 1, the manager was able to fix the wifi but the fridge was replaced a day later so lots of food was dethawed and warm. The dishwasher was never fixed. The smell in the cottage was horrible like spoiled eggs, my husband said it smelt like sex and cigarettes... The BBQ we did not use because it looked like it had rat feces in it. There was underwear and and Empty can of monster in the single bed room dresser day 1.... It did not feel clean. There was a Brocken trampoline .... Such a downer for the kids why even have it there... Tom was kind and tried his best but the expectation is that the cottage is well maintained, that's what I paid for!

We had cabin 5, it was great that we had the firepit right outside.. I’m not sure if any other cabins had them. Cabin 4 beside us joined in for the fires as well, it was great to meet new people! Cabin 5 is 2 bedrooms, 1 double and 2 twins in the other. You also have a pull out couch. You NEED to remember sheets/blankets/pillows. As well as all other necessities etc. toilet paper, paper towel, towels for bathing/kitchen, dish soap, garbage bags.. There were a few pots/pans and dishes/utensils. Overall was a good stay, a quick walk to Port Elgin Main Beach, we drove to Sauble Beach (20 mins away).

This property was sufficient for my short stay. The ad listing did not state the need to bring linens, toiletries or kitchen soap (it didn't even have hand soap in the bathroom). There were no garbage cans in the property, thankfully I had a bag. They were accommodating to my dogs and it was private.

The property is well located, a short walk to the lake. The kitchen is well stocked, however you do need to bring all linens including dish towels etc. The mattresses on the bed were not comfortable. The property manager was helpful and checked to see if everything was good..

We stayed for an off season weekend which was quiet and relaxing. The cottage itself very clean, fireplace burner needs replacing and would have been excellent because of the chilly weather. Full kitchen, remember to bring not only food, you need to bring toilet paper, dish cloths, dish soap. Luckily there are stores nearby. Loads of hot water. The staff on site very helpful and accommodating upon our arrival. In summer season, definitely a lovely spot so close to the beach and port.

I love this cottage park, not my first stay. Minor problem with some (very small amount) of mold in my bedroom. Not noticeable to anyone else but I am allergic so it did make it hard for me to sleep. Wifi is spotty and cell phone signal is poor. Other than that the cottage was lovely. Nice space with lots of room for everyone. Well located with a splash pad and park across the street, fishing very close, and a beach a short walk away. Would still stay again but will bring my air filter with me.
