This is a great property. The cottage had everything that we needed and more. The host met us upon check in and was able to show us around and tell us about the property. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

Thanks so much for your kind review! Happy to know you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again!
Maria and Dietrich were lovely hosts. Our accommodation was warm, immaculately clean, cozy and well appointed. We had everything we needed and more. We didn't have the opportunity to walk the grounds as we were staying in the area for an event.We did get to meet the horses who were lovely. We would highly recommend staying here and plan to come back again.

Thank you for your kind review! We are glad to know you had a comfortable stay while visiting the area! Thanks again for staying, welcome back!
The cottage was very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The property itself was beautiful, peaceful, and perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The only issue we encountered was that the shower water never became warm, every other tap in the cottage had hot water. Aside from that, everything else was great, and we really enjoyed our time there.

Excellent accommodations and a well stocked cabin. The three of us and our dog were very comfortable during our 3-day stay. We enjoyed walking the trails on the property and meeting the horses. Communications with the owners was great before and throughout our stay.

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you stay! We hope to see you again. All the best.
We loved staying at this rental for a long weekend with our two dogs! The rental was spotless and had everything we needed for the weekend stay. We didn't have time to cook much while here but noticed that there were plenty of kitchen supplies if we had wanted to, and I was very happy the first morning to find fresh coffee beans and a grinder provided :) The property is lovely and has lots of trails. Our dogs enjoyed themselves and loved exploring. We also made friends with the wonderful horse that comes to greet you from the paddock. The owners are on site, are very welcoming, and communicate quickly, but they also gave us space and our stay was peaceful and quiet. We would absolutely stay here again - my only regret is that we didn't book a longer stay!

Thank you very much for staying! We're happy to know you enjoyed your time here and had a relaxing getaway. Welcome back!
We had a great long-weekend stay at Dietrich and Tarias cottage!We travelled with our 2 young boys and our Bernese Mountain Dog. The cottage was a wonderful place to relax and we spent the evenings on the porch watching the sunset. Our host was fantastic and shared all her knowledge about their horses with our kids. They helped feeding and brushing the horses.It was a great location for our trip to the Mono Cliff Provincial Park and good restaurants were close by! (Burgers at Duffy’s! ) 5 out of 5 stars!

Great getaway spot, cozy cottage vibe, well equipped kitchen with extras, interesting and well-kept grounds, close to great hiking on the Bruce Trail. Perfect for that weekend-plus country mini-break!
Beautiful property. The kids and dogs had a great time exploring the trails. We also enjoyed the local French pastry shop nearby. A nice short peaceful getaway.
