Cory cottage
It’s wonderful. The water has a strong iron taste to it so a filtration option would be great.It’s such a lovely spot!

Girls getaway!
We stayed two nights at Corey cottage. From the start of our booking. The host could not have been more helpful. Very easy to contact and responded quickly.
We stayed 2 nights and were able to unload our vehicles in the morning of the day we checked in as we were heading to Maine for a bit of shopping. We appreciated this so much. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. We brought few groceries as we were planning to dine out. Everything was easy to find. And quality linens, dishes , cutlery.
The view is beautiful.
This was an amazing place to stay and I would recommend it.
Can’t wait to come back some day.

Perfect stay for conference
We recently stayed at this fantastic VRBO in Saint Andrews for a conference, and it exceeded our expectations! As a group of four women, we appreciated the property’s perfect location next to Algonquin, which made walking everywhere a breeze. The house was beautifully decorated and thoughtfully appointed, with every detail considered for our comfort. Our host was incredibly responsive and ensured our stay was seamless. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Amazing home
We love Saint Andrews and this home was the perfect way for our family to all be together to enjoy it.
We love the old homes and historic feel of the area. This home has a rich history with a great blend of modern amenities yet with a historic feeling.
The house was spotless and very well looked after. All of the rooms are large and spacious with very comfortable beds. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom which is a great feature.
The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need.
Dierdra was so pleasant and helpful from the very start. She answered all of our questions and even helped with some great suggestions. We really can’t say enough good things about the house and the host.
We would definitely come back and stay here again!
