“Large, well-equipped cottage in beautful, natural setting” This cottage was as advertised. Large, private property with a very well maintained, well equipped cottage. Plus the Saugeen river just a few steps away. We had a great time cooling down in the river, warming up in the hot tub, playing pool in the recreation room over the garage and lounging on the deck with the sound of the river below. Great location with a very nice golf course nearby, challenging hills to cycle into Markdale and close to other Durham area activities. We walked the trails on the property and walked across and through the river. In the cottage/house, there's lots of room for people with five bedrooms but we stuck to the six adult limit and only used four rooms. It was a great, restful vacation and was great to have such a nice property and cottage to enjoy. Not inexpensive and it would be nice for the cost to have cleaning included but all in all a pretty good value.

“Our Thanksgiving” We enjoyed your beautiful cottage so much. It was wonderful to spend time with our family in such a lovely setting. It will always be a very special family memory for all of us. Thank you for everything.

“A Cozy Week with an alarming End!” Hi there, First i have to say...Overall, your rental property is truly lovely... My young family and I were more than comfortable and pleasantly surprized with the accomidations during our stay in lovely Meaford. After most of the week was up my husband set off home with the children to allow me to clear things away and close up. I worked for a few hours,which is fine, to tidy up , and put things away. After 10 am I made a point of reviewing the cottage manual to make sure all was complete and in order. To my surprize, upon reviewing fine notations in the manual regarding cleaning...I noticed an additional 60$+ billing fees for even so much as unkept floors, kitchen and bathroom surfaces and garbage disposal...Here it is then...I have managed short and long term housing for years... Long and`` Extreme`` cleaning, accompanied by a long journey home as a guest, left a ``very`` sour taste in my mouth...Note:We were bearly there most of the time. I not only had to vacate the property late but I had to deal with `` animal contained garbage`` as I was greeted by a pleasant house keeper! Why with such stipulations must you hire house keeping...House keeping or other staff are hired to clean! Not just throw towels in the washing machine. Most of which I did all week myself!!! I can understand tidy, and in order but please be reasonable... You have a great!! property, don`t spoil it! Use your staff accordingly and your guests will want to return! People rent--- not to own... in this case I would be entised to buy my own cottage...Sincerely, A Once happy yet Frustrated Guest!
