The property was very clean and beautiful. The host was very nice and fast at responding. The location was amazing; 10 minutes to sauble beach and 25 minutes to see the sunset at South Hampton! Both are worth it! We would go back here for sure, but few things to note.
The picture isn’t fully accurate, there weren’t muskoka chairs on decks. The ad when we requested the place said hot tub, then the package you get the week before said no using the hot tub. It is nice they supply life vests for the canoe. We moved chairs from other locations to dock and bon fire. We couldn’t find matches anywhere in the house and we are non smokers so we had to go ask a neighbour for a lighter. They were nice! There are no toddler/plastic plates and cups, it’s all glass so note that if needed. I agree with another comment, the stairs downstairs are too dangerous to welcome young kids and a railing needs to be added. The basement was damp and needs a dehumidifier in the summer when the a/c is on. We couldn’t stay in the bottom two rooms for our visit because of this, so we just made the basement off limits. We used a blow up mattress (which they had which was great) and brought a basement mattress upstairs so my kids slept on the floor in the big room and my parents slept in the second upstairs bedroom.
Weird electrical in the main bedroom… when the light turns off, all electrical goes off. So our sound machine would turn off when the lights turn off which was frustrating but it was such a quiet area, we never had the kids wake up luckily. Next time we will bring a battery operated one. There were only 4 hangers in the entire place, so if you need them, request with notice.
It says for 10 people but 10 people can not shower with hot water. Not even 2 back to back. We had to go to a wedding on the Saturday and we staggered an adult shower every hour and that worked. First day when we did a back to back there was no hot water for the second person.
I will say in general, not just this listing, this “Covid” no sheets business is frustrating. That is not how you get covid. And there were blankets/covers on all beds. Just not sheets. Covid can be on sheets but not comforters? Silly. If a rental doesn’t want to do sheets, just be real and say that without the Covid excuse. But then the cleaning price should be lower if that service isn’t coming back, assuming the cleaning fee is the same as it was with the sheets service.
