We had a great time at Woodpark Cottage and the weather all week was simply fantastic. Check-in was super easy, as were communications with Stephanie. There was enough room for all 12 members of our extended family to gather, and also have quiet space to retreat to when wanted. The kitchen was spacious and made it super easy to make meals. The second fridge in the laundry room was quite handy for storing drinks and desserts. The connected natural gas barbeque was great, as we never had to worry about running out of gas or switching tanks. The bathrooms were well-stocked with plenty of towels and toilet paper. We took full advantage of every ammenity: firepit for roasting marshmallows and making smores (thanks for the welcome smores kit and wine!), screened-in porches for reading and having morning coffee, all the games! Southcott Pines is a very walkable neighbourhood - Sun Beach (private to the Southcott neighbourhood) was a short walk away and was much less crowded than the public beach in Grand Bend. Great place to watch the sunset. Being able to walk to Grand Bend's Main Street area, for restaurants and shopping, was a terrific bonus, as we could avoid having to deal with the traffic into the very busy area. The Pinery Provincial Park is also a short 8km drive away and a great place to visit, with a dog-friendly beach section. Overall, we had an awesome stay. Thank you, Stephanie and Lori, for your hospitality.

Perfect House

This house had everything needed for a large family to stay and be comfortable. Living room is very spacious and plenty of comfortable seating. The fireplace was a perfect touch to the room as we sat around and played games and enjoyed time together. The kitchen had everything we needed just as if we were in our own home. Kid friendly with toys, Pac-Man game and pingpong. I’d highly recommend this house. We will be back for another stay.

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.

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.

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.
