Cottage weekend
Cottage was nice inside. Had a lovely weekend exploring the county. Three things that we noted as possible things to improve…the water has a very strong sulphur smell which is off putting-not sure if that can be addressed but take drinking water. There were no kitchen utensils for cooking…spatula, wooden spoon etc. I brought my own so it was ok. The king bed was comfy but the duvet was made for a queen bed…someone didn’t get enough covers! Not deal breakers just hopefully constructive criticism. Hot tub was a bonus!

Great R&R spot
The cottage is very well appointed, comfortable and cozy. The hot tub was a great bonus. The mattress was the best I've ever slept on.

Perfect weekend during the eclipse
The cottage was outstanding; cozy, warm, and beautifully appointed. The hosts were wonderful and respected our privacy. The kitchen was well stocked as we cooked all our meals. We were four adults and an elderly dog and we all had our space. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend for a short or long stay.

Very quiet and relaxing stay
We were pleasantly surprised to a very clean, well organized and fully stocked cabin in a very beautiful remote and quiet place on Lake Ontario. It was just what we needed to get away from work and the busy city, our dog Buddy was welcomed as well. The hot tub was so relaxing & clean, they had this fired up and ready for us as soon as we arrived. So highly recommended for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, thank you to the hosts and Buddy says thank you as well! ❤️🙂

Nice cottage getaway!
Very well-maintained cottage with a lot of attention to detail and exactly as shown in the photos. The cottage had all the essential amenities, comfortable beds and a nice view of the lake. Everything was in working order, plenty of cups, dishes and cutlery, all very nice. Only thing missing was a wooden spoon, had to use chopsticks to make scrambled eggs to not scratch the frying pan. BBQ was conveniently located just outside the side door on a small porch. There is a decently sized fire pit with Muskoka like chairs to sit on, though the grass needed a cut as it was well overgrown. The outside of the cottage is still a work in progress, but there is plenty of space for activities, badminton, frisbee and the likes. There is also a wood picnic bench outside that is great for an outdoor meal during the day. Lake access is very rustic. Need to walk about 7 minutes from the cottage and then there is an unkept, downhill grassy laneway between two private properties that leads you to a small, rocky opening where you can get into the lake for a swim. Not ideal if you have kids with you. Need to ensure you are well stocked as there are no stores close by. The ferry is about a 12-to-15-minute drive from the cottage and to get to Picton is 40-45 minutes at best. Overall, it was a nice cottage getaway and an enjoyable change of pace for a few days from the hustle and bustle of the city. Would recommend Deirdre's cottage to all looking for a calm, quiet and relaxing place to unwind.

3 day get away
The cottage was very clean and beautifully decorated. The amenities in the cottage were new and plentiful, lots of dishes great appliances etc. The BBQ was super handy and in good working order. The drinking water had a lot of sulfur and we wish we would have brought fresh water. The beach access was disappointing..quite a walk, swampy enterance and overgrown. The owner stated the exterior needed work so we were okay with that. If your group wants to sit at the beach all day I think this cottage may not be the best. Driving to the ferry is a 13 minute drive to get to restaurants and wineries. The ferry leaves at the 15s and 45s minute to Picton. The cottage was a nice get away from hectic life, our host was very thoughtful. Great job on the decor!

Great getaway with friends.
We stayed at this property with a few friends and loved our time there. The location is quiet and relaxing, the ferry ride to Glenora was fun and lots of activities near by. We were lucky to enjoy perfect fall weather which made it even more perfect. In terms of the house, we enjoyed the attention to detail with some of the design such as rain shower, comfy couch, newly updated kitchen etc. However, I do have a few suggestions if I may. There were a few basic kitchen spices missing such as black pepper. (there were two small shakers, but both were empty). Also, a bottle of olive oil or cooking oil would be really helpful. The single bed in the second bedroom is extremely uncomfortable (the mattress is hard as a rock and each time I switched from one side to the other, the bed would shriek and wake me and my friend up, she was sleeping in the second bed). The door to the bedroom also shrieks quite loudly so it's very loud if you want to get up in the middle of the night and use the washroom. The grounds are not very well kept, there are wild weeds and grass growing around the house which doesn't really bother me, but it makes it a little less pleasurable to enjoy the fire pit. All in all, we had a good experience and would come back. This feedback is to hopefully improve what is already a good spot. Thank you!

Exceeding high expectations
The property was even better than the one I had hoped it would be. I had chosen it in early March as one of the few remaining options in the area for my band's planned regional tour at the end of August. I had high expectations as my family had had a cottage in nearby Wellington when I was little. The site in Adolphustown was even somewhat better than my high hopes would have had it, as was the cottage interior. The experience with Deirdre also exceeded expectations. Vrbo's last-minute key thing was a bit of a rush, but I understand the importance of it for security on the Internet. I'd recommend the place and the landlady to anyone wanting a cottage close to Prince Edward County and Kingston.

Luxurious cottage
We had a fantastic experience renting this cottage. It was really comfortable, while also being very stylish and well-appointed. Having air conditioning was amazing, as we were able to have a break from the hot weather at night and it was a relief after days on the beach at Sandbanks. It’s in a very quiet location which was good for deep sleeps, long walks, and coffee on the front porch in the morning. We were familiar with the area and planned a lot of outings to keep us busy - we would love to come back sometime.

Superbe chalet!
Le chalet est rénové récemment et offre toutes les commodités dont une famille a besoin pour un séjour agréable. Tout est neuf et propre, tous les ustensiles de cuisine sont disponibles, on ne manque de rien! Le secteur est très, très tranquille. Parfait endroit pour relaxer. Les communications avec l'hôte étaient rapides et simples, et toujours cordiales. Le seul bémol qui explique 4 plutôt que 5 étoile est l'éloignement et le temps de déplacement... Quand nous y étions, le service de traversier à Glenora était toujours sur l'horaire d'hiver, en pleine saison achalandée, rendant les déplacement vers et depuis Picton et Sandbanks très longs.

Relaxing getaway with all necessities
Clean and welcoming stay all the necessities available with a prestocked kitchen utensils ect. I'll say it doesnt have great water access with a toddler. Very rocky and long grass to actually get to the required location there is no dock just large sharp rocks ( to be fair the ad states its a rustic entry).. we ended up at a few other beaches near by. (45min away easy) -This water access would be good for adults that are maybe getting in and out of a kayak or maybe fishing) bring water shoes. Know before you go -Do grocery shopping before you get close by/before you leave. There isn't corner store/grocery/fast food available near by. Depending on the ferry times it could be about and hour away to general store goods. The house has lovely finishes and great neighbour's who are friendly. We would definitely go back even with the veryinor inconveniences of location. Lots of wild life in the farmers fields near by the cottagr we saw foxes and deer vultures and osprey to name a few. Host was very easy to speak to and accommodating. Beds were comfortable and smelled fresh and the smart TV were easy to operate which is a plus because I am not tech savvy.

Comfortable, well appointed cottage in a picturesque area
The cottage is very nicely decorated, has new appliances and a a new bbq. The inside of the cottage was very comfortable during our stay. The outside is a work in progress but we expect it will be just as nice soon. The cottage is located in a great cottage area which is fun to explore.

Le ferry, un irritant
Nous avons été à sandbanks et il fallait prendre le ferry. C’était souvent très long l’attente pour embarquer. On doit compter au moins 45 minutes de plus à notre temps réel. Sinon, l’accès à l’eau de la propriété est plutôt loin de la maison. Si vous avez un paddle board, on peut en mettre un à l’eau quand même facilement. Mais il faut le transporter jusque là. J’aurais mis l’accès plus proche. Ça aurait été le fun d’avoir un kayak à notre disposition. Pour le reste, chalet de très bon goût et bien équipé pour faire nos repas et jouer à des jeux. Parfait pour une petite famille comme nous. Le réseau pour la télévision boguait souvent par contre. Écouter un film peut être long. Somme toute, de belles vacances.

Beau chalet confortable
On a beaucoup apprécié notre séjour, location tranquille et à une trentaine de minutes de Picton, ville très charmante & 45 minutes de Sandbanks. Chalet au design modern et invitant. Bonne communication avec le propriétaire.
