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.
