Great pool.

We had a great stay at the cottage which was ideally located to explore the Bruce Peninsula. The photos of the property do not do it justice and inside has a lovely fit out and lots of charm.
Our kids loved the pool which is a real differentiator to many properties available in the area.
Would highly recommend and will hopefully stay again in the future.

We had a wonderful time cooking, chatting and lounging by the pool. Highly recommended! A few notes: the water has a strong odour. Not a big deal, and we got used to it. But be prepared to pick up a replacement for the water cooler. And if you're scared of snakes, take note - they are around! There were a couple of them around the pool. Again, we got used to it : Otherwise, this is a comfortable and pretty spot. The kitchen is well stocked, there are fans in every room and Eva was really easy to get in touch with.

This was our families 3rd summer at Eva's cottage and we are continually so grateful for the opportunity to share this lovely property and all that is has to offer. As always, the home was so well prepared with all that you need to enjoy a week in the country. The pool is paradise in the sun! We stocked up on bacon and eggs from Forsythe Farms, and this year we also took advantage of town and nearby Sauble / Southhampton for a day excursion. If you are looking for time away in quiet, virtually no neighbours except distant cows and lots of stars at night - this is your place.

We enjoyed every moment of our week long stay. Mornings were spent cooking and reading, with the afternoons spent by the pool. We went on a few trips to some of the local farms that Eva recommended for farm fresh eggs and other goodies.
And Eva was a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely by returning next year!

We had the most wonderful week staying at Eva’s place. The house was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed inside and out. The gardens and landscape were stunning. The pool was amazing and warm, with a view of the sunset over the hills in the evening. Would go back in a heartbeat!

We stayed at this cottage in August of 2021 and had a great time! My family stayed (2 boys under 8) and this place was perfect. There is lots of space to explore and the pool kept them very busy. The layout of the cottage is beautiful. The sunken dining room, the sunroom and then deck with Muskoka chairs became part of our regular routine. And we felt this was a place that was once loved by a family. It is very open concept so you can hear everything but for one family - this is fine. We also really loved the location. There is so much to explore on the area so we did a lot of day trips to Sauble Beach, the Bruce Trail, Lion's Head, Tobermory. We just loved that part! We also took daily walks along the road leading up to the house which was great. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking to get away from the city and escape to a quieter pace. Also, really great for families.

Satisfactory for a rental. A little dated and worn around the edges in some spots but nothing to impede overall enjoyment of the property. Great location and surroundings. The pool was lovely and easy to maintain, but the shallow end is only about 1/5-1/4 of the length of the pool with no boundary, so close supervision is required for little ones.
4.0
Our family enjoyed our stay. The cottage was fully stocked, the pool was great, and we had nice dinners on the screened-in porch. Listing and pictures should be updated, as lake view and lake access was lacking due to dense trees and forrest. The owner was available if needed. Good place for someone who likes quiet and solitude.

We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is great and fully stocked. The pool is also very lovely. And so is the screened in room. The listing does need some updating as there is no view of the lake…I believe the pictures are quite old and Any view of the lake that was there in the past is now Somewhere behind a forest of trees. Also it seems that the gazebo has been replaced by umbrellas around the pool. We did let the hostess know on day one that the grass needed cutting. She responded immediately and sent someone to do this the next morning.

Lots of birds and bugs. The thunderstorms are impressive to hear. No close neighbors to bother you or vise versa. The sun room is great.

We have rented a number of homes in the past but none have been as well stocked or as clean and comfortable as this one. Everything was as advertised and then some. The kitchen is huge and has all of the conveniences of home. The salt water pool was amazing and my grandson loved it. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for peace and solitude as there is an abundance of quiet. We had a couple questions for the owner and she responded immediately. Thanks for everything Eva.
