Ricardo and Angela were great to deal with every step of the way with prompt and clear communication. We stayed at Casa Mariposa with family and friends over New Year’s week and the cottage had everything we needed and met or exceeded all our expectations. We all thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and sauna and many open spaces where we could hang out together. The games room in the basement with the large screen & projector television was a huge hit. We would very much like to hang out here in the summer! Gordon Chabot

Fabulous family retreat!

I had family from Europe and across Canada join for the stay. We have rented many VRBO homes and this is our favourite yet! Lots of things to do for kids of all ages and adults too. The house is so well stocked with everything you would need for a few days away. Communication with the owners was fabulous. My family is looking forward to going here again.

Great stay

Casa Mariposa was the perfect spot to stay for myself and my family. With close access and a free day pass to the Pinery, the house is ideal for those that need an accessible, comfortable place to stay if your group isn't up to camp. With a sauna, hot-tub, whirlpool and a fire pit, it feels like being the campground but with so many extras. Lots of indoor activites for rainy days and additional outside games and things to do for kids. Just the right amount of communication with our host. Place was cozy and comfortable. Clean and organized. I'd totally recommend!

Amazing family getaway location

From the start everything about this stay was spectacular. The communication with the hosts was prompt and they were always offering their help to us. The place was incredibly clean and the amenities were amazing. We loved the games, pool table, home theatre setup and hot tub - so much to keep us busy despite it being winter. We also loved how much baby/children’s items were there to make packing a little lighter. If you’re looking for a cozy vacation in, this is the place to stay. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at this very lovely house. It did not disappoint the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything you needed, the game’s room/screening room was a very nice touch. I enjoyed a hot tub before retiring for the night. The back deck and fire pit provided a great space to spend time outdoors.
