This beautiful well appointment home on Lake Huron provided the exact environment our family was looking for, Tracey responded instantly to all communications. Her gifts of welcome were terrific. Also the products used in her home were ecologically pure, and the treats including the brilliant delish coffee were all from excellent local vendors. Our granddaughter enjoyed the beautiful brand new hot tub, watching each glowing sunset! Thank you Tracey; I hope we can book again in the future!

Host Tracey is far above average. She goes the extra mile to provide more than anything I've ever seen at a rental before - so much less you'll have to pack and bring. House is spacious and spread out. Bedrooms are very clean and modern - one included a very large tv and a PS5 gaming system. Hot Tub was new and an outstanding perk - you can see Lake Huron from the tub. Cozy gas fireplaces out front to relax and prime location for stargazing. Location is perfect - 8 min from Port Elgin and Southampton. Bike/walking path out front was convenient for exercise and photos. Lots of wide and maintained trails to walk in the forests behind the rental. Backyard beautifully landscaped with hammock and swing chair. I highly recommend this property for your family and enjoy the Saugeen Shores like we did.

Beautiful sunsets and house

Tracey went the extra mile with a personalized gift basket with age appropriate gifts from local vendors. The house was very clean with a great yard. The hot tub was wonderful. We could get a hold of her anytime. She takes great care of her property and has everything you need.

Family vacation for a special 70th birthday

Tracey was an awesome host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at her home. The gift basket was so appreciated and the commercial level coffee maker with locally sourced coffee was amazing! The home is so lovingly decorated and luxurious. Towels and linens were top quality. The location with the waterview sunsets was spectacular and the backyard garden and flowers were gorgeous. It was hard to decide which lovely spot to relax in! The large hot tub was a bonus. Loved the easy access to the waterfront hiking trail and the beaches. Altogether a great stay! Thanks, Tracey!!

Absolutely incredible!

Just driving up the driveway to this incredible vacation home i knew we were going to have the perfect getaway. The location is ideal, with a view of Lake Huron from the front porch and coveniently situated between Port Elgin and Southampton. The house is spacious, immaculate and has all the amenities you could ask for, and then some! The outdoor extras are icing on the cake....beautiful grounds, hot tub, bbq, hammock, 2 outdoor dining areas, games to play. Just an amazing place to stay. Tracey is a fantastic host who thoughtfully considers all the little extra touches to make her guest's stay extra special. Thanks very much!

Southampton Gem

Our family ( 6 adults, 4 kids, 2 dogs ) had a truly wonderful week at your house. The location was perfect, the house was well appointed, clean, very comfortable , not lacking for anything. The backyard was beautiful and perfect for the dogs. The hot tub was a huge hit. Tracey responded immediately to every inquiry . I would definitely recommend this VRBO.

Wonderful vacation

Really enjoyed ourselves at this property. Layout of the house was very good with privacy for everyone and the flow to all outdoor spaces and accessibility was great. Had our own little beach right in front which was a life saver due to the fact we had 2 dogs and a baby so it was very convenient not having to look for dog friendly beaches. Close to Port Elgin and Southampton so on the cloudier days, we explored them as well and one day we took a ride to Lions head and did the Bruce Trail there. Very convenient to explore the surrounding sites. House was fully stocked with everything to make our stay enjoyable. Would definitely go back.

Beautiful location on Lake Huron

My friends and I had an amazing week staying at Tracey's house/cottage on Lake Huron! the place was just as advertised, and very comfortable throughout our stay. The kitchen was fully appointed and spacious, there were really comfortable beds in each of the bedrooms, and great details like the large back yard and fantastic hot-tub for a relaxing soak at the end of each day. The view from the front yard to watch the beautiful sunsets was worth the price alone. The beaches in the area (in Southampton and Port Elgin) are very nice and sandy, and the water in Lake Huron is incredibly clear and blue (not like in Lake Ontario) - similar to being on a tropical beach. Southampton is a particularly quaint small beach town, and it felt like we were somewhere in Cape Cod the entire time we were there. I have no problem recommending Tracey's place as a perfect vacation location!

Amazing cottage

We stayed at Tracey's cottage for a girls weekend and we were blown away by the property. The pictures don't do the place justice; everything was tastefully decorated and well thought out. The beds were so comfortable and luxurious. The hot tub was nice; it could have used a little more cleaning but it was still a nice experience. The waterfront view offered amazing sunsets that could be seen from the sitting area at the front of the house. There was a newly built trial that followed the waterline which was amazing for scenic views. We will definitely be returning to "The Happy House!"

Beautiful property.

Tracey has a beautiful home and property. It was very comfortable with a lot of very nice extra touches. She was quick to respond to any questions we asked. The only slight downfall was that cell coverage is spotty in the area. I highly recommend this property and hope to visit again.
