Cute little spot
The cottage is adorable but has all amenities required for a short stay. The kitchen and deck are fabulous and create a nice little sanctuary for cooking or having a quick snack and a place to enjoy the serenity. The beds were comfortable, the place was very clean and we had access to all we needed for our short stay. All information was provided just in case we needed to reference something for the area.

Clean & quiet little cottage, in excellent location
We stayed with friends here for a couple of days of sight seeing and NOTL Shaw Theatre performances. It was a perfect spot to lay our heads. PROS-the property is quiet, very clean, good location, has all amenities and comfortable beds, the owner is very responsive, the backyard and deck is large (unfortunately we had poor weather so were unable to take advantage) CON-both bathrooms are on the main floor -2 bedrooms are on the upper floor with a steep staircase (perhaps not great if you are elderly or have mobility issues) but ok if that doesn't matter to you.
