| We are avid renters. Most likely 30 locations the past 20 years. This place is worth every penny. The pool, hot tub and billards table themselves are worth the rental. Pool is kept at a nice warm temperature. 10 of us stayed here. 7 adults and 3 kids. To put it into perspective, none of the TVs were ever turned on. Horse drawn wagon ride 15 minutes away, dog sledding in Haliburton (2.5 hours). We were never bord to say the least. Is the home perfect, No. But darn close to it. This was like having our own hotel, all to ourselves. Host was awesome. Welcomed us with a smile. Gave us a tour of the home and explained everything. He even came back to give us salt and pepper that we forgot to bring. Truly recommend this place.

| We have been here a few times and just love it!! Clean and well stocked with items you would need, pots,pans toilet paper towels etc. The pool and hot tub are the highlight of our stay always very clean and spacious area. We also love the pool table and media room great for games and dancing. There is literally no complaints!! Love love this place. The owners are amazing ,very fast response if we ever needed anything but give you totally privacy during your stay. We had are family up here for new years this year and the kitchen, dining, living area upstairs is perfect for serving and preping food but still being involved with everyone. We love the balcony over looking the pool so we can always have eyes from anywhere in the house on the pool when older kids are in it. We will be back next year again and 100% recommend this home to any family looking for a relaxing private vacation away. During the winter the hills outside are great for sledding and during the summer it's great for walks and outside games. MUST VISIT!!

| Don't be fooled by the pictures on this website, they are very out dated. This house needs so much TLC and was not very clean. There was a pile of dead flies in the corner of the sitting room. The oven was not cleaned properly so when we used it, it smoked up the house and we had to call the owner. The dining room chairs were all taped up. The shingles on the roof were falling off, the deck looked so old and needs to be redone or at least touched up. The picture shows that the yard is nicely kept with a fire pit but that's not there. The air conditioner was covered with bushes and it stopped working. He tried blaming us and said he would have "his guy" come to look at it but never did. It was so uncomfortably hot and we couldn't open the windows because there were no screens. He told us we were only able to use the pool 6 hours per day or the humidity would buildup. The pool liner had a hole in it which he had repaired and we had to avoid that area. The railings above the pool were very loose, which was scary especially with kids. There were paint splashes all over the floor in the pool room. The owner came to the property 5 times out of the 7 days we were there and my husband had to ask him if he could give us at least give us 1 day to ourselves. It was such a disappointment. I wish I could send pictures so you can see how bad everything is. Not worth the money. Nice house just lazy owner. There are a lot more issues but not enough room to list.

Owner response: Thank you for your comments. As we know the primary issue you had as guests was the air conditioning. Setting an AC temperature to 19.5 degrees is both unreasonable and quite foolish, as it forces an ac unit to run constantly, causing ice build up within the coils of the furnace. After coming up once to deal with the problem, we were quite surprised by you doing the same thing AGAIN. This time we weren't quite so lucky, when the buildup YOU created thawed, it burnt out the blower motor. You may not know this, but water and electrical components do not mix very well. As for the pool, the reason there is a 6hr limit......is to control humidity. 99% of our guests are respectful enough to follow this rule, as well as a common sense approach to running an air conditioner. Best of luck to you and more importantly the owners of any of your future rentals. | |
