"We weren’t looking for a cottage with a pool, but we made great use of it as the lake was a little too chilly for swimming. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the cottage worked very well for our family of five. Being so close to the river was great. We kayaked the Saugeen and the Sauble. We also loved how close the cottage is to both the downtown area and the lake. We took a number of walks to both. Highly recommend!"

"From the outside it looks a little rough. I was concerned when we pulled up. But once you go inside it’s great. The first thing we noticed was how clean our suite was. It has everything you need. 2 bedrooms and a couple fold-flat couch’s. There was only 4 of us so each couple got a bedroom. It’s in a super convenient area. Quick walk to the beach, restaurants and stores. Very quaint town. The host left a binder with rules, wifi info, nearby restaurants and stores that was very handy. Great communication with the host. Overall, we were satisfied. I would stay there again if in the area. "
