Our second trip to Sawdust City Haus and we loved every moment of it. Devon is a great host who works hard to make sure you have everything you need for your stay. The hot tub is wonderful and the skating rink was a fun way to spend some time. We can't wait to come back next winter!

Beautiful cozy cottage. We went for a peaceful winter getaway to get some much needed R&R, and this place absolutely delivered. We loved relaxing in the hot tub watching the snow fall. Devon was a great host. She was very communicative and has thought of most everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

My partner and I were looking for a cozy winter weekend and this was absolutely perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The exterior is gorgeous and the patio lights are an added cozy touch. The hot tub was very clean and perfectly situated with a nice view of the woods. The interior was very cozy and beautifully decorated. We decided to stay in and cook, and the kitchen was very well-equipped! There is nothing more we could have asked for and wouldn’t change a thing! Devon and Josh were lovely hosts and easy to get in touch with. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

We did a quick weekend trip here and had a really great time! It was a very nice place to stay in and was so nice relaxing in the hot tub while it was cold out. A snowstorm rolled in the morning we were leaving, and Devon even offered us a discounted extra night. We would have taken it, but unfortunately we had to be home that evening. Would recommend this place!

We had an incredible winter getaway here! The cabin was so cute, clean, the kitchen was well stocked with equipment, and the box of dog toys was a nice touch. The hot tub was so lovely! The driveway was ploughed in a very timely manner when it snowed, and they even offered to shovel the back porch again if we needed it.My only callouts are some misleading pictures in the listing. The bed in front of the fireplace is actually a pullout couch that costs 100 extra to use despite there being no hidden fees. There is no Lake access, which is fine for our winter visit but the listing shows pictures of a dock that are labeled as part of the property when they aren't.Overall, Devon was very attentive and made sure our stay was great, and would recommend this cabin as an amazing winter stay!

We didn’t get a chance to use all of the amenities on site as we both came down with sickness. However, it was super cozy, there were so many games and movies to keep us entertained while under the weather, and all the comforts of home from music to utensils and wifi. We can’t wait to come back for the full experience!

The listing suggested this was a cottage-style rental, but unfortunately it fell short in several areas. There is no water access or view, which was a key expectation. The outdoor fire pit is located in the front yard facing the road, next to a neighboring property that appears to be in poor condition, which took away from the experience.We were also looking forward to the indoor fireplace, but it is not functional. The sauna is an indoor kit that doesn’t seem well-suited for the space, and the hot tub was difficult to use and preset at a temperature that wasn’t very warm.Inside, the home felt quite cluttered, with many personal items and trinkets limiting space for our belongings. Storage was an issue, as closets, drawers, and cupboards were already full. There were also toys in smaller rooms, making it harder to comfortably use the space.Cleanliness could be improved, as there was noticeable dust, and the seating areas were not particularly comfortable for relaxing together as a family.We were really looking forward to this trip, especially since my daughter traveled from Thunder Bay and we came from a distance to spend March Break together. While we made the best of our time, the overall experience was disappointing.
