Having a gate providing direct access, between spring and fall you can spot amazing wildlife and the breathtaking waters in the open outdoors.
We understand people had some concern about the smell of the well water. That was due to the high sulphur level. It is perfectly safe, as per public health testing conducted recently. Nevertheless, we installed the brand new Water Filter System by professional water treatment specialists to remove the smell. We also provide the Britta filter to remove the additional smell for kitchen use. Tips to remove the smell: running the taps after 5 minutes. This problem has been completely resolved. Our guest has been enjoying good quality water during their visits. Moreover, we also have bottled water provided under the coffee maker cabinet for higher quality drinking water.
Vacation in country style in our open-concept beautiful-grand living room, with soft pine wood ceiling/flooring and extra large surround farm view windows.

The kitchen is stocked with a full set of cooking pans/pots, utensils, microwave, coffee maker(ground coffee), kettle and toaster. The house runs on well water as the surrounding areas, thus we provide a Brita for a more city-like water taste.
The location is conveniently located beside the country road Hwy 12. There will be frequent traffic passing by.
We do have a large outdoor fire pit that you can enjoy with your beloved families and friends during your stay if weather permits.
Please note that if the winds are above 20km/hr on a particular day, or that there is a fire ban due to drought, open fires will be prohibited by our township bylaw for fire safety reasons.

I stayed with a large group of family and friends for a weekend. The place was nice and spacious—and accurate to the listing. It was a little rundown here and there, but not so much as to be a deal breaker. The kitchen was modern and well-equipped with appliances. We only had issue with the tap water, which smelled like sulphur. Other than that, we had a great time.

Great stay
We had a wonderful stay! The house was great, as described. We were happily surprised by the trampoline in the yard. We were a large group and the house accommodated us very well! The owners were quick to respond to messages. There were also basics in the kitchen like sugar and salt and coffee, which was very helpful. I will mention that the water did have a smell. Though it was safe to drink, we did prefer to drink out of bottled water during our stay. When I reached out to the property owners after the stay, they checked into our concern and said they will be replacing a filter that will hopefully better the issue, and that will make future stays even better. The water was really our only issue. Otherwise, the stay was fantastic. At this price, it is a great deal, and I would recommend it!

Big house. Love the open concept kitchen, dining and living room area. Big beautiful windows, letting in tons of natural light. Lots of comfortable beds and two washrooms. Close to amenities. The host let us know about the well water and graciously provided us five large waters. Would book again

Great spot for Ski teams
We stayed here to compete in Timber Tour at Mount St. Louis . 3 athletes, coach and parent. 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms was ideal and easily could have had more stay with us. Will book next season if we come back for same Timber Tour
