Wonderful Stay with a great host

Went for a girls wine weekend. The house was great with relaxing waterfront views and location to wineries. Tessa was communicative and pointed us in the right direction for restaurant suggestions. Her neighbors were friendly too giving us some history of the area.

This property was excellent! Looks brand new, incredibly clean, and well appointed with anything you could think of. The house is steps away from the water's edge and has great outdoor amenities like a grill, fire pit and seating. The town is quaint and there are some great local restaurant options close by. Highly recommend!

This property boasts a modern vibe with a relaxing backyard and beach. It is nice to sit in the backpatio or even just in the master bedroom patio and hear the waves. We were hoping to stargaze a bit but it is close to other homes which would make it difficult (due to light pollution). Either way, it was a rainy night so we ended up enjoying listening to rain and thunder that night. Very close to wineries and we were able to visit four of them that's close by in just one afternoon. Another really nice gesture by our host was the two half bottles of wine left for us, both white and red wine. We were there to celebrate our anniversary. We were planning on dinner at coopers hawk but turns out they close at 3pm so we ended up buying groceries at the nearby grocery store in harrow and had our dinner at the house. Dinner turned out better than we planned and the wine was perfect! We had everything we needed to cook our food. Plenty of towels available. This property could comfortably accomodate up to 3 couples.

Just perfect

Relaxing, great location. Would have spent more time outside on the deck if it wasn’t for the rain and wind, but what can you expect for October. Still comfortable inside though. Thx for the use of your cottage.
