We had a wonderful week at this cottage. It was so great to have AC as the temperatures were in the 30s early in the week. We had a great time playing ping pong and air hockey in the basement. The kitchen had everything but a large pot for boiling corn. All the applicance were great and mattress/pillows comfortable. Hosts were great and very accessible.

Perfect stay near Sauble Beach

Loved our stay at Orchid. The property was stunning and clean. The extra touches in the rental made our stay so easy. Recommend any families to choose this location if staying at Sauble Beach - close enough to enjoy the beach but far away enough to enjoy some quiet.

This was an absolutely beautiful home! I stayed here for 2 nights for a family get together. The instructions were very thorough and clear and listed what was available at the home. It was very well equipped with everything we needed. There was plenty of childrens and baby equipment which helped reduce the amount of packing my family needed to do! Very child friendly host and home. The location is amazing if you want something close to hikes and national parks. We went to Bruce Peninsula National Park during our stay! Nathan, the host was very responsive and accommodating. He answered all my questions!
