Very Good - Enjoyed our stay

Property well maintained, nice, comfortable to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Owner is excellent, takes care of everything. We were a family of six staying. Few suggestions - minor ones PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE POINTS BELOW ARE MEANT ONLY FOR OWNER TO IMPROVE IT, AS WE FELT ROPERTY IS VERY GOOD. It is constructive feedback. - Instructions to light up indoor fireplace - more clearer for dumb people like us. - Water heater - we were all used to taking shower in morning and 5th /6th person had to take cold shower as water would not heat. - Dining chairs/table was not for 6. - There is a Hot tub outside, we were excited to see that, but it was not working.

Needs Some Fine Tuning

Property looked just as photos with a few exceptions as follows: 1. Ad listed 2 bathrooms. Only one was available as second one was not accessible in the basement. 2. Property was shown as suitable for 6 adults, yet the dining table only had 5 chairs 3. Property was fairly clean, but shower curtain liner was covered in mould. Should be replaced 4. Property had a hot tub, but it was not operational. 5. Supplies in bathroom were limited with only one roll of toilet paper for 6 people for three days. There was only one small hotel bar of soap in shower. 6. There were no coffee filters for the coffee machine. Not a huge issue as property manager informed us of the type of coffee maker ahead of time. All in all the stay was ok. Beds were comfortable and there were extra blankets if needed.

Black Bear Cottage in Miller Lake

we spent three nice days in the cottage. The house is very well equipped and clean, we didn't miss anything - except to see a real live bear :-). Darlene was always available and communication with her was very good. We can recommend the house to everyone.

Great Stay near Tobermory

Very clean and spatious place that is well equipped. Within 1/2 hour drive Tobermory and less than that to singing sands, grotto, and Lions head. Away from the main road and quiet. Would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Not too far from the national park and lots of amenities that kept us very comfortable. Favourite parts include the huge garden and stacks of firewood provided by the host.

Tobermory trip

The property was really nice and clean with everything we needed. The only issue was we weren’t sure how to use the heating system, we didn’t know the wifi password and where to discard our garbage. We did get in contact with the property manager after a few calls and everything was sorted. I would have like those to be included in the house rules. Over all it was a great stay
