This is a beautiful, well-furnished cottage nestled right on the shores of the Glacial Terrace. The setting is incredibly picturesque, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Check-in and check-out were seamless and hassle-free. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Beautiful Place

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. The property was clean and welcoming. Besides the little hick-up at check in we had a great time.

Cozy waterfront home away from home

Great location, access to plenty of activities nearby, local shops and restaurants were delightful! The property itself was beautiful inside and out. Could have used some TLC before arriving

Cozy and charming!

My friends and I had a great time at this location. When we arrived the house was clean and had proper amenities. The rooms were adequate and cozy. There were fresh linens and pillows. The lake front view was our favorite. The water was fresh and it was quite shallow. The viewing dock was fabulous and allowed us rest during our swim. We all enjoyed out stay.

The location was beautiful and easy to find. Being 5 minutes away from Tobermory was great. The inside of the house was well looked after with up to date kitchen, washrooms and comfy beds. Be aware the stairs to the loft were very steep. There were issues with the front door lock which others have also noted. Kam responded promptly; however after several tries we were also able to figure it out on our own. Outside, things looked in need of some TLC such as 2 dirty kayaks under the deck which didn't look inviting to use. The hot tub looked clean though we didn't use it. The best part were new chairs by the beach that were great while watching the sunset!

While this vacation rental has a beautiful waterfront location and lovely views, the rest of the property falls short. The property has great potential, but maintenance, cleanliness, and hospitality issues significantly impacted our stay.The listing photos and description are outdated and do not accurately reflect the property. Instructions throughout the cottage were inconsistent and confusing. Bed linens and bath towels were poor quality, and there were no window coverings in any bedroom.The home was not well maintained. The BBQ had to be cleaned before use, the patio furniture was missing cushions, the decks were covered in leaves, and several deck boards were rotting, creating a safety hazard. Many windows were dirty, missing or had damaged screens, and some would not latch properly. The home also needs a thorough deep clean.The advertised kayaks were inaccessible because no key was provided, and they appeared neglected. One bedroom’s window air conditioner was ineffective and blocked the room’s only window.The property manager was unresponsive, an insufficient supply of toilet paper was provided, and despite paying a cleaning fee, we were expected to strip beds, start laundry, and sweep before checkout.With proper maintenance, cleaning, and more responsive management, this could be a wonderful rental. Unfortunately, it did not meet the standard we expected based on the listing or Vrbo marketing practices.

Beautiful spot; but needs updates

Beautiful location. Had a bit of a hiccup checking in; but that was figured out on my own. Clean place, but many repairs need to be done. The back and front lights weren’t in full working condition,, and the back door knob wasn’t attached anymore. The tub in the bathroom doesn’t fill up. For the price; updates need to be done. Sunsets were beautiful, and location was great. I would return if things got fixed.

Positives: The house has gorgeous views of the water and a beautiful, natural rock beach. It was so peaceful. The interior of the house is warm with the wood beams everywhere and plenty of big windows so you can enjoy the views.Negatives- Beds weren’t made and they didn’t have enough sheets of the right size. There was a double set and a twin set and a couple flats sheets- there are 3 double beds in the cottage. When I reached out to the owner I was told that there was another set of larger sheets in the closet-nope. He mentioned I could use the owners sheets hanging in another closet, but they were quite musty so I decided to just use two flats sheets from the upstairs bedroom closet and made do. This cottage feels unloved and like an income property- everything is cheap- from the polyester sheets, cheap terrible pillows, to the old mismatched towels. Even the dish soap was watered down. I chose to not sleep in the second upstairs bedroom as its window was taken over by a large AC unit that was sitting on a bedside table right next to the pillows and when turned in was extremely loud. I slept in the nook on the main floor, which was cute and surrounded by windows and views of outside. The cottage was mostly clean with the exception of a windex bottle left out and a bowl of coffee grounds and tea bags left on the kitchen counter, and some dead bugs behind the upstairs bathroom door. The outside furniture was filthy, with greasy old stains, the outside looks neglected.

I am writing to formally express my serious disappointment with the condition of the cottage during my recent stay from [dates of stay]. The experience was far below the standards expected, especially given the high price and the assurances from the booking platform. • No air conditioning, making the cottage extremely uncomfortable in the heat. To make matters worse, the door was left open when we arrived, compromising security and comfort. • No drinkable water available, which is simply unacceptable for any paid accommodation. • The barbecue was completely non-functional, ruining our plans for outdoor meals. • The backyard and surrounding area were poorly maintained and neglected. • The bed was uncomfortable, and we were bothered by bugs, making restful sleep impossible. • Kitchen utilities were in poor condition, the dishwasher was broken, and coffee cups were dirty, which is unhygienic and disappointing. This level of neglect and lack of basic amenities is unacceptable and does not justify the cost paid. I trusted the listing and platform to provide at least a basic standard of comfort and cleanliness, which was clearly not met. Given these issues, I insist on a partial refund to compensate for the significant inconvenience and discomfort experienced during our stay.

J'ai apprécié la vue, l'accès au lac, les étoiles, le spa, la propreté à l'intérieur. Les boiseries, les multiples fenêtres et l'architecture intérieure avait du cachet. J'ai moins apprécié l'extérieur défraîchi, le bois du patio recouvert d'une couche de moisissures hyper glissante (j'ai déboulé les marches). Les kayaks très sales et une pagaie était même brisée. Il manquait les verres à vin et aucun lit n'avait de draps, j'ai dû chercher partout dans la maison. Il n'y avait aucun mouchoir et aucune serviettes à main. Il manquait une corde à linge lorsqu'on sortait du spa. Dans l'ensemble, nous avons passé un agréable séjours à 6.

Wir machen eine ausführliche Bewertung, da dieses Objekt nicht gerade günstig ist und führen daher auch diese Mängel auf. Check-IN kompliziert da der Tür Code nicht funktionierte. Es musste der versteckte Erstatzschlüssel verwendet werden um ins Haus zu kommen. Erster Eindruck oberflächig sauer. Bei zweiten Hinsehen stellte man dreckiges Kochgeschirr fest. 2 leere Kaffeevoratsbehälter im Schrank vorgefunden. Trotz schriftlichen Hinweis per Mail kein Ersatz bereitgestellt. Betten waren nicht überzogen und kein Hinweis welche man verwenden soll. Ausstattung keine Klimaanlage. Allgemein etwas unordentlicher Eindruck in den Regalen und Ablageflächen. Waschmaschine Einfüllschublade verunreinigt durch vorhergehende Benutzung. Stehendes Wasser in der Dusche und Badewanne. Keine Möglichkeit die Fenster nachts zu verdunkeln. Aussenanlage wirkt verwittert.Auf den Wegen Blätter und Äste die nicht erst seit einer Woche herumliegen. Der Außen Gasgrill war verdreckt und musste erst sauber gemacht werden. Weg runter zum Wasser nicht gepflegt, verwildert, überwuchert. Positiv war die ruhige Lage, die Größe vom Haus, Panoramablick mit großen Fenster. Insgesamt ist der Baustil vom Haus innen sehr ansprechend.

Formidable!

Cette propriété est absolument formidable! Propre et bien située avec beaucoup d'intimité. Le décor est tout simplement majestueux à l'heure de l'apéro sur le quai et la baignade froide mais agréable! Nous avons adoré notre séjour.
