Hot tub confusion
There was some confusion about a hot tub. The listing include hot tub as an amenity but there were no photos or instructions in the welcome package so we weren’t sure if there was one or not. Turned out there wasn’t one.

This Vrbo was impeccable. All the rooms were beyond our expectations by the needs of a range of ages that were brought there from a three year old to the adults. I would definitely book this VRBO again thank you to the hosts for a wonderful stay.

Perfect 65th Birthday Celebration Getaway
From booking to check in everything was perfect. The cottage was just as advertised on the site. The cottage was spotless and the nice touch of wine and smores welcome was much appreciated. The bedrooms were spacious and beds comfy. There wasn't anything that we needed that wasn't supplied. Every question was answered immediately by Stephanie. Can't say enough how perfect this home was for us. If you have a large family or group it's the perfect spot for you.

Great getaway
Property is just as described, no surprises. We had 14 people between 4 and 68 and it suited us all. I would say the only thing we wished there was, was a place for the kids to play outside. The property is large but no grassy yard to kick a ball etc. We all had a great time

Family Get Away
A lovely cottage and perfect for our family reunion. There was lots of space between all the bedrooms, a very nice deck and outside space. We BBQ several meals and nice that it was hooked up to the house so never ran out of propane / gas. The cottage is a quick walk to beach and a longer but nice walk along the river to Grand Bend. Excellent hosts, quiet neighbours, no issues and very clean. Would recommend highly. Thank-you!

One of best places we have stayed at between Christmas and New Years.
This place was as advertised. It was spacious and comfortable. We had a great time with the ping pong table. We used the fire pit and barbeque without issue, even during the inclement weather. The guide for leaving was detailed and easy to follow. There was also instructions on how to get to the beach and great places to eat. We would stay again.

We had a great time at this Grandbend cottage with lots of room for all 7 of us. We enjoyed canoeing, hiking and shopping, along with just staying in and relaxing in front of a beautiful fireplace. The bedding was soft and super clean. The kitchen was fairly well equipped. Overall a beautiful home and we would definitely consider returning.

Ideal Home in Ideal Location
We reunited with our family for a week and the home and location exceeded our expectations. The hosts were responsive to questions as we prepared for our stay. The home is clean, spacious with room to spread out on rainy days. The children enjoyed the games provided at the house and many hours were spent on the beach a short walk away. We enjoyed being in the Grand Bend area again and revisiting nearby Stratford and Bayfield as well. Thank you Stephanie and Lori. We made precious family memories at your slice of paradise.

This One Is A Gem!
Our work travel group just spent a few nights here and every aspect of this house and the process of renting exceeded our expectations. The view from living room window looks like a post card, the privacy from trees makes it seem like you’re in a remote location, beautifully decorated, stocked with any supply you many need and then some. The white lights above fire pit at night are stunning. Location is perfect, short walk to beach grocery store and main strip. Huge kitchen accommodated our pasta dinner and big breakfasts with room to spare. Easy self check in, maps of area, wifi code. They have thought of everything. Stephanie thank you for having us, for trusting us with the house and for the thoughtful gift you left on table. Also for always replying to my questions instantly! Great memories made. We will be back.

Perfect weekend
Beautiful spacious cottage! We had a big group including kids and there was plenty of room. Kids loved the river in the backyard, saw turtles, fish and a beaver. Loved the big fire pit and a beautiful neighbourhood to walk around and close to the beach. The cottage was also super clean with everything you could need. We hope to come back :)

Amazing place
We wanted for nothing, I cannot say enough about the property or location. There were supposed to be 12 of us and that may have ended up being a bit cramped but ended up with 9 ladies and it was just glorious, the house the location the amenities everything top notch. The detail put into the inside of the house was adorable small little touches everywhere, we stay somewhere different every year it sure will be hard to top this year's stay! And the added touch of the welcome note with two bottles of wine and smores fixings was so kind first time we've been treated so well, I'd recommend this place to anyone and already have actually.

Fantastic place for a larger group or a couple of families!
The upstairs has a great space for the adults, with two comfy and ample sectionals, and some nice board games to play. The downstairs, though a bit dated, has comfy areas for the teens to have their own space, with multiple love seats, many bedrooms and a good sized bar fridge. Many tournaments were played by all at the ping pong table; The Pac-Man mini arcade game was also a hit, as was the great fireplace outside. The kitchen is very large and stocked with pretty much anything you can think of. The hosts were very generous with everything from coffee pods, to ample dishwasher soap, etc. If you are very into smoothies, or are particular, I’d suggest bringing a higher power blender. We also preferred bottle water that we bought (the store is 5 min away). The patio outside is also great, with a nice table, chairs and big umbrella. The neighbourhood is wonderfully peaceful and secluded from the chaos of the town. The area is like a rainforest with plenty of humidity. Even though you are close to your neighbours, each house has enough trees between that you feel very secluded. The hosts were INCREDIBLY welcoming, with notes and special items. They were also very responsive and receptive to our feedback (at least one mattress is due for replacement, and others are pretty firm). The private beach is absolutely beautiful, and gives you a break from the clamour of the public beaches, with no search for parking (I wish we had used it more!). Unfortunately for us, the channel (which is reachable via a path behind the house) is now dammed at both ends, resulting in more marsh than river and thus not ideal for kayaking. It does provide a nice path for walking along the water. On calm days you may be able to kayak from the beach, or on breezy days you can enjoy the waves. Highly recommend.
