Clean, modernly renovated, and lots of amenities. It was a comfortable stay and the perfect location in the middle of the places we wanted to visit. As another guest mentioned, you’re paying 200 for a cleaning fee, then need to take the garbage to the dump if not leaving on garbage day. Would still very much recommend this stay with these hosts.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 September 2026
Thank you so much for the 8/10 review and the kind recommendation. We're glad you enjoyed the modern renovations, amenities, and central location for exploring the area. ​We appreciate the feedback regarding the departure process. Because our cottage is in a rural area with limited municipal collection schedules and active local wildlife, waste cannot safely be left outside between turnover days when check-outs don't align with local pickup. The cleaning fee directly covers a deep professional clean and sanitization of the property between visits, but we completely understand that a dump run feels like an unwelcome chore on check-out morning. ​We are actively exploring better turnkey solutions with our local team so departures are seamless for our guests. Thank you again for taking great care of our place, and we'd be delighted to host you again anytime!

Great location! 30 min from Tobermory & the Grotto, 15 min from Lion‘s Head, 5 min from Stokes Bay beach. John is really responsive and the cottage is clean and really well stocked with clear instructions. Our family had a great time! Be sure to reserve parking for the provincial and National parks and book boat cruises to Flowerpot island well ahead of your visit. All of them are well worth the visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Incredible home in a great spot. Big, beautiful, fully stocked kitchen and bbq setup. Three bedrooms, with a spacious common area. Outdoor fire pit. Lots of board games, outdoor activities like bocce ball, volleyball, etc. and a fire pit. Very quiet at night, under an astonishing star-y night sky. Also, loved the layout of the home, will keep it in mind if I opt to build one :)

We had a great stay overall. The property is beautiful, new, very clean, well maintained, and in a great location. It has plenty of amenities, and the owner provides a very detailed information guide that answers most questions. We would definitely consider staying here again. The only downside was the garbage disposal policy. We paid a CAD 200 cleaning fee, yet we were responsible for disposing of our own trash. Depending on your departure day, you may need to take your garbage to a local disposal site yourself. This information was only shared shortly before our arrival along with the Wi-Fi and check-in details, rather than being clearly disclosed before booking. For me, this didn’t match the expectation that comes with paying a substantial cleaning fee. On the morning of departure, the last thing I wanted to worry about was finding somewhere to dispose of our trash—especially since it’s easy to generate a little more garbage while packing up and leaving. Fortunately, the staff at the disposal site were very kind, and we weren’t charged. Aside from that inconvenience, everything else about the property was excellent, and we really enjoyed our stay.

Chalet extrêmement propre ayapatgaig

Nous sommes un famille de deux adultes et deux enfants. Nous avons adoré le chalet. Il était extrêmement propre. Je loue régulièrement des chalets et ce dernier était le plus propre que nous avons loué. Il y avait tout le nécessaire pour la cuisine et même plus (en très bon état également). Il y avait des jouets pour les enfants et du matériel pour la plage (parasol, chaises).
