A quick stay

Was in the area for a wedding. The host was very flexible and accommodating when it came to checking in a little early.

Location, Location.......

Much better option than hotel/motel. The home was centrally located to our main points of interest. Comfortable inside, and relaxing outdoors - couldn't have asked for more. Krystle was a joy to deal with.

Surprise

What we got and what we thought we rented were different. From the pictures we thought it was a cabin near water. It was in fact an old home that has been completely renovated. Inside was very well done, neat and clean. Bathroom was however only on the main floor not near the bedrooms. Pulled into the driveway from a crescent but the BIG drawback was the front of the house faced the Main Street which actually happens to be Hwy 6 to Sauble beach! Very noisy!!!Thank goodness the air conditioning drowned it out. Never did see the “ Shallow Lake”
