100% recommend this property!

My family and I stayed in this house for a week around Christmas. We had our Christmas Eve dinner there, and the house is really upgraded, clean, and equipped with tons of utilities and appliances—everything you could possibly need. We were very happy with our stay. I strongly recommend this property.

This is a beautiful historic home with all the modern comforts. The kitchen is amazing!

Overall, we had a lovely vacation. The home is fully stocked and very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub. Having the LCBO across the parking lot was convenient. It is also a close drive to many beautiful places. We will book this home again. Thanks Linda!

This home needs A LOT of work.

Our party of six adults and three teens stayed at this home over the 2022 May long weekend to celebrate our friend’s 50th birthday. We had hoped to spend our evenings lounging in the hot tub but received a frenzied call from the owner, just before we arrived in Meaford, telling us that the hot tub wasn’t working. The owner compensated us financially so that the adults could use the Scandinave Spa and the teens could visit the “Plunge” waterpark at Blue Mountain (about 25 minutes away), but we were still disappointed that this amenity was not available as advertised and we were given such little notice. Upon arrival, the house was lovely and appeared just as pictured online. But after closer inspection, the cobwebs on the light fixtures and on the chairs in the dining room showed that the home did not appear to have been maintained over the winter months and it required a better Spring cleaning. Several people in our party were also bothered by the dust throughout the home and were forced to take antihistamines throughout our stay. The King and Queen beds were all quite comfortable with beautiful bedding, but the bunk beds were a disaster. Neither bunk bed had a mattress, just a regular box spring with what appeared to be an old futon mattress on top. They were incredibly uncomfortable and noisy (they creaked loudly anytime you moved). The top bunk was so close to the ceiling that you had to be very careful not to hit your head or come too close to the ceiling fan. After three uncomfortable nights, we packed up our things from the kitchen, only to find fresh mouse droppings in one of the lazy susan’s – they definitely weren’t there when we arrived. That same morning, after we had all showered, we found a huge, dripping water stain in the dining room that appeared to be coming from the bathroom above. Thankfully we were on our way out and this did not affect our stay. Unfortunately, our request to be reimbursed for the cleaning fee – in light of the dust and fresh mice droppings – was rejected by the owner, as was our request to be financially compensated for the poor night’s sleep in the bunk beds. The owner deemed our requests to be “unreasonable and without merit”, which is incredibly disappointing considering she reminded us several times that she was a credited “Superhost”. We think this title is greatly exaggerated.

An easy walk to Caribbean blue water

A lovely little town and a comfy, well appointed property. Linda was a wonderful and responsive host. Our family really enjoyed the great living room, the movie collection, really well laid out kitchen and the property. We did trips to the lovey local beaches to swim, paddle board and windsurf, biked around the town and then relaxed in the hot tub! A great vacation!

Wonderful family get-away!

Thank you for a wonderful summer getaway for three generations of our family. From the local beach to walking trails to shops to splash-pad playground, everything was within walking distance. Best of all was curling up in the backyard for family fun and enjoying the main floor living space. The house has it all! Linda is a warm and responsive host and our week away was everything we imagined. Kim and family

The area is very close to everything. Its walking distance to downtown Meaford. House is beautiful

We had a great time at this rental property! The house is beautiful. It has been renovated and is very modern. The reason for my rating is this...the main reason for choosing this house was the hot tub. We were going to be visiting Blue Mountain Village, Georgian Hills wine tasting and the weekend was due to be cold and rainy, we were looking forward to heading back and warming up in the hot tub. Upon arrival the tub was turned down so cold the first night it couldn't be used. No problem we sat in the house played some games had some drinks. Second night upon getting in the tub more than half the jets don't work. Only 2 spots worked kind of. The thermostat is locked (which I understand) however the ceiling fan in the bedroom which had no windows was so dirty we didn't want to turn it on. There was no hand soap in the kitchen or main bathroom no garbage can in bathroom either. The bathroom sink didn't look like it had been cleaned at all. Yet we were charged a cleaning fee so the house is presentable for the next renters. We were asked to enter through the backyard which had cigarette butts on the ground, the fire pit was covered in them, debris everywhere and was very unkempt, not inviting at all. We paid a lot of money for 2 nights and the owner didn't have the respect to email me back with an explanation, an apology, comment, nothing. I feel she had my money no need for further communication.

A wonderful place for a family gathering

This property comes as advertised and more. The outdoor space is lovely, with eating area, lounge area and private with a hot tub. The kitchen is large and well appointed with everything you need --and we made good use of it. A large family dining area is a bonus. The bedrooms are quite spacious and the beds, bedding and towels are just what you'd want. The showers were awesome. We were there for a week with a large family of 4 generations and there was space for everyone. Meaford is a cute little town and this property is so close to everything --- the harbour, restaurants and coffee shops, banks and the LCBO, and parks for the little ones. There is access to golf and mini putt and the beaches are very close. The surrounding towns and villages offer scenic drives, wineries and breweries, waterfall tours,scenic vistas etc. It was very warm while were there--the owner provided several fans to help keep things cooled. Both Linda and Jessie were very responsive to any needs and concerns we had--thanks so much for letting us share your beautiful home

Overall Great!

We had a great time with our stay. The place was clean and easy to manage. There was even an art studio (with supplies available!) - that was a pleasant surprise. The place looked EXACTLY like the pictures. The hot tub was ready to go when we got there. The rooms were spacious and comfortable! The parking lot was very large, the kitchen had many ingredients/supplies/pots that we could use. There were many DVDs to watch as well. The living room was comfortable and had a fireplace. Linda was the nicest person that we have ever dealt with. Overall, it was great. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Place

Our stay at Linda's place was nothing short of extraordinary. The decorations are very modern and nice; everything in the house feels clean as well. The kitchen has a well-stocked spice drawer and many other condiments/sauces in the fridge, with an array of kichenette, silverware and glassware enough for more than 10 people. The washrooms come with heated floor which is perfect for cold weather, and the outdoor jaccuzi fits 6 comfortably. The living room has a great fireplace that is turned on with a swtch, and a flat screen tv and speaker system already hooked in. Rooms are very tidy with new sheets and cozy beds! The self-check in and self-check out procedure is really simple as well. Would love to stay here again!

About the host

Host profile image
I love old homes and have restored this house with an updated decor & flair. I am also an abstract artist and have an art studio on the main floor.
I love to cook and entertain have stocked the kitchen with spices, pots, pans, anything you will need

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the quaint charming town of Meaford. I wanted to get away from the big city traffic and box stores. I am 2 blocks from the beautiful Meaford harbour and 1 block from downtown Meaford. My daughters had the benefit of a small town charm that was safe and unassuming and provided wonderful memories for young children. We are blocks away from Beautiful Joe park and the Bighead River. You can ride your bike or cross country ski along the Georgian Trail.

What makes this property unique

It's a beautiful updated century home with a turret and lovely perennial gardens.
It's spacious with an open concept kitchen and a very large dining room. Perfect for a big skiers breakfast or a sit down dinner.
