Absolutely stunning property! We stayed here in the early spring (winter) and a snow “storm” so we simply enjoyed the warmth of the house. It would be amazing to come back in the summer for the pond access and pool. This house is completely renovated, all new bedding, furniture, posh kitchen appliances and truly everything you need for a fantastic stay. Beds and furniture are very comfortable - honestly… you’ll want for nothing!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you were able to stay cozy and enjoy the warmth of the home, even with a spring snowstorm rolling through. There’s something pretty special about being tucked in during those moments. It means a lot to hear you appreciated the renovations, comfort, and all the little details—we’ve put a lot of care into making it a place where guests truly feel at home. You’re absolutely right—the experience shifts in the summer, with the pond and pool becoming the stars of the show. We’d love to welcome you back to enjoy a completely different side of Pondside Bliss when the season changes. Thanks again for staying with us! Gordon

Lovely house, pleasantly furnished with quality products, top of the line appliances and kitchen equipment. Great grounds with pleasant facilities such as pool, barbecue, canoe and fire pit. Pleasant and quick service from Jason when problems arose. Note to owners:Provide instruction manuals for appliances, heating system etc., locked cupboards are not what I expect for the price: there is a basement, put you "stuff" in there. Also bedrooms with no closet and two without dressers are not appropriate. Despite those issues we enjoyed staying there. P. S. the lights in the bedroom facing the lake have wiring problems.

This is an excellent property, especially if you are a large group and/or have children. It was clean, well-kept and attractive. The pool was a great attraction for the kids as well as the play set. There were wonderful spaces, with lots of room for small or group gatherings. All the amenities were provided, and the laundry was great! Lots of dishes, cutlery, cups etc, plus tea towels and so on. The kitchen was well supplied with appliances and serving/cooking utensils. Bedrooms were lovely, with nice colours and pictures, and even extra towels and blankets. Lots of bathrooms and well supplied with shampoo,etc. Overall a great place for the 3 days we spent there. I highly recommend it. Only comments are that a) instructions for using the stove would be helpful as a bit tricky to figure out and b) could not adjust the heat, again with no instructions on how to do it c) TV info would have been nice. Otherwise a great spot and we loved our stay.
