Great few days away.

Had a great relaxing stay in a serene environment 5 minutes away from maximum civilization. You can get anything you need minutes away or just stay in and relax. 1 hr from Toronto is perfect!

Amazing stay

This was the perfect little getaway. The house and property were even better than expected … very spacious, peaceful and private. Plus, lots of nature to enjoy. The chickadees even ate off our hand! We will definitely stay again.

Secluded oasis near civilization

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very secluded but close to anything anywhere you want to go. We didn't see a lot of birds, a chipmunk made an appearance. All amenities were excellent.

Lovely break from the big city

The river bird life and shady trees provided a wonderful respite from the heat and stormy summer weather in the city. The house was comfortable and cool and clean and quiet- just perfect for relaxing.

Couple get away

We had a very lovely time. The cabin was perfect, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting. We actually were pleased to have so many amenities close by, and yet feel like we were in a secluded environment. Would definitely go back, and recommend it to anyone interested.

Happy Canada Day Weekend

More than a cottage this property is simply amazing with the river, trees, and small wildlife for the ultimate relaxation time. The interior of the cottage is very modern with a nature theme throughout. Very easy to uber in/out of downtown Cambridge within 15 minutes. Marwin is a great host and very easy to locate and access the cottage. Will certainly be staying again in the future.

Lovely, but …

This is a very lovely place and exceptionally clean (except mold on the outside of shower door) and it is mostly as advertised. When I called and asked if we needed to supply wood for the fireplace (which I assumed was wood-burning owing to the fire screen in the photo), I was told that the fireplace was fueled by propane. Disappointment, but okay. When we arrived it was the clear that the fireplace was not useable — vents taped shut and blankets stuffed around the box of the fireplace. I texted owner and asked what the secret was to turning on the fireplace and was told propane was turned off (she did not tell me this when I spoke to her —you decide what to make of that). It seems clear that this is not a working fireplace. Can you tell we were really were looking forward to nights in front of the fire?The chairs surrounding the fireplace are rotting. We did bring wood to build a fire in firepit which is near the beautiful rushing river — the sound of which is greatly muted by the traffic sound from the nearby 401. (To be fair we did not notice the traffic on the deck.)The ice dispenser on the refrigerator is broken and there were no ice cubes nor anyway to make any. Should you wish beverage in a tall glass with ice, bring both. Otherwise the kitchen is exceptionally well stocked even with a good variety of stemware, but only one red wine glass.Having said all of that and if none of it matters to you, this is a great place. We booked 3 nights and stayed one.

This place was perfect! My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary weekend and it was a great little escape while still being close to so much! Beautiful place that had everything we needed. nice sunroom and view of the river. Lots of squirrels, bluejays and chickadees to watch in the morning.

Great weekend getaway

It was a great weekend at the cottage where we celebrated my finances birthday. It came as advertised and the host replied back quickly if we had any questions. The cottage had a secluded nature feel while being a 5 minute drive from the shopping centre. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful experience

We had such a fun time! The home was beautiful and spotless. If you are in the Cambridge area, i highly recommended this place. The creek in the backyard was stunning and we encountered a ton of wildlife like: birds, squirrels, geese, beavers and a cat! This place will always be remembered and we are sad to go.
