Summary: Everything here was great - the description of the property was bang on. The host Mary answered all my (many) questions and addressed my concerns. Plenty of linens, towels, dishes, etc., so we felt right at home. We brought some things of our own but they were not needed. We used the BBQ while we were there which was nice and we enjoyed a campfire on two nights. The grocery store isn't too far away which was great. We'd absolutely rent this place again.

Summary: We had a great long weekend stay at the Wine country cottage! It fit our group, 6 adults, 4 kids (ages 3,5,6,7) perfectly and was better than the pics. I think the add listing said that it's a 1.5 bath, which worried us, but there's actually 2 full and 1 half which we were happy to discover! The yard was perfect for the kids to run around and we were walking distance to restaurants and 2 wineries. Side note: Stay away from CREW, rude staff. North 42 Degrees had a great outdoor area for the kids to run around and occupy themselves, staff was incredible and wine was tasty. Mary was a super responsive host. Our group is already talking about booking again!

Summary: The house was great. Renovations were done to the kitchen and an extra two piece bathroom since last year and both were fantastic. Beach and park near by were perfect for the kids ages.

Summary: A nostalgic, homely residence, with spacious interior, several bedrooms, and local amenities. We stayed for five days in Nov and enjoyed our time here. We had 7 of us, and there was still room for more. The hosts were very accomodating and great to work with. Would recommend to anyone.

Summary: Quaint, spacious and oh so comfortable! Beautiful beds and neighborhood was exceptional. One concern….the odour of natural gas near the Bbq is constant. We left the cover off to disperse the gas. Should have that checked for a leak. Your gifts upon arrival were greatly appreciated and we all thank you! A wonderful experience we will do again!
