Beautiful Oasis
Posted Apr. 29, 2024 on HomeAwayThe views are stunning. The well key cottage is nestled among the condos and the highway but you would never know they were there. The tranquil lake, comfortable beds, roomy kitchen and family sized common rooms make visiting with family fun. We appreciated the games tucked in the cupboard. Looking forward to the next time we are in the area.

What a View!
Posted Aug. 23, 2023 on HomeAwayThe place was very clean and well kept. The view and the yard was the best. We really enjoyed a relaxing week on Lake Ontario. We can see Toronto across the way on a clear day.

False advertising
Posted Jul. 8, 2023 on HomeAwayThe pictures in the advertising showed a small sandy beach one could have access to for sitting and wading. There was no such beach and no access. The neighborhood was trashy. The houses next door were unkept and shady looking. The rental was located in an alleyway behind a motel next to a freeway even though it was advertised it had lake front access in the nice Stony Creek neighborhood area. This should have been clearly advertised in the listing. The house was mildewy and musty. There was only one glass for use in the kitchen. This is the worst place we have stayed through VRBO.

Dear Beverly,
Thank you for taking the time to review our place on VRBO. We would like to disclaim that all the images posted online are actual, not altered in any way or form. All details regarding the waterfront access is declared on the listing description and rental agreement. Please refer to that. Furthermore, if there were any issues regarding the cleanliness or supply shortage, we would have been more than happy to address these immediately had you contacted us during your stay or even prior to leaving. We are unsure how you were only able to find one glass, there are multiple types of glassware in the kitchen and dinning room for different occasions. Again, we would have been happy to assist and direct, if you had notified us of any discomfort during your stay.
Furthermore, our cleaning services are efficient and timely, it would have been easy to address any concerns you had during your stay.

Clean and cozy not as private as anticipated
Posted May 3, 2023 on HomeAwayProperty was clean and quaint but we did not have as much privacy as we wanted. Every time we walked by the windows on the neighbor’s side, they were looking at us through a window. We were looking for someplace more secluded but the neighbors make that very difficult.

We are sorry to hear this. We can assure you 100% that this area is very safe. There has been recent changes in the neighbor's property ownership and infrastructure nearby, and for this reason there were extra workers and personnel in the area that usually aren't present. Nevertheless, we hope that your next stay with us will be much more comfortable.

Good property- rough location
Posted Apr. 1, 2023 on HomeAwayMarch 2023
Once you're on the property, it's good. When you look out at the lake, it's amazing. The backyard is nice, the top bedroom was cozy. The kitchen was equipped-ish. The cabinets/drawers were in rough shape and the dining room table is some sort of cheap IKEA craft table.
The biggest problems... outside the property.
The house maybe 100m away was a trash heap, with a temporary fence and 2 big guard dogs. Three houses toward the highway was another trash pile. The road to get to the rental is dirt and mud. One morning when we left to tour the area there were multiple cops out with a subject right near the house. Got the impression it's a sketchy area.
We felt deceived about the proximity of the bike path. It's nearby, sort of, but the way to get there isn't very safe. It requires passing through the sketchy/muddy area and riding in the shoulder of Service Road with cars flying by.

We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your stay at our cottage. We greatly appreciate your feedback about our indoor furniture. With regards to the muddy road, it was unfortunate timing that this path received a lot of snow two days prior to your visit, which has melted as we transitioned into warmer weather. Once the summer arrives, the lake and surrounding area are much more pleasant and comfortable for exploring than during the winter season. For this reason, we provided you our discounted winter rate, and have also allowed you a pet accommodation free of charge.
All the listing descriptions and photos are 100% accurate and belong to our place. Our cottage is located on a private road with only four properties, and it is a very safe area. During your reservation, the neighbor was moving out of his property (end of March), which would explain why you saw some trash bags as we cannot control our neighbour's moving date. We have been hosting for a couple of years now and still have not come across any safety concerns or incidents taking place on our private road or within the area. Usually, people are biking, hiking, or walking their dogs, along the trails and within in the park behind our cottage with no issues. On the Service Road, the speed limit is 60 km/hr; however, if you came across individuals speeding along this road, it would be helpful to notify traffic control to allow for more vigilant monitoring.
We feel that your feedback does not fairly represent the accommodations that were provide, and is based on transient incidents that are not related to the cottage (eg. Neighbour moving out, muddy road from the melted snow, and supposedly speeding vehicles on a 60km/hr road).

November Escape
Posted Nov. 29, 2022 on HomeAwayThis cottage is lovely. It was very clean and had a wonderful view of the lake. Beds were comfortable. I would bring my own sheets as the sheets provided are a little rough (but im very picky). We saw no neighbors. Our trips to explore the area were reasonably easy. We would stay here again.
