Beautiful family cottage with huge garden, minutes to town

I stayed here with my dog who loved the huge garden and freedom to run off leash. The cottage itself has everything you could possibly need. Eric made the process of booking really easy and I would highly recommend

Fantastic stay

What a great place! Very convenient location with a 5 minute walk to a little river and maybe a 15 minute walk to downtown Meaford. The back yard is huge and the fire pit was a great perk! We didn’t get the chance to use the back patio and bbq but everything was just really nice. The kitchen was fully stocked and must have been recently renovated because it all looked so new. Very very clean

Peaceful vacation

The house is located in a nice, quiet and friendly neighborhood. I really enjoy the big backyard with lots of trees. The kitchen had everything we needed. It had 3 good size bedrooms. I really liked the one with the 3 single bedrooms. The whole house was very neat and clean. I think the deck needs some update. Unfortunately we had our nice vacation cut short by some terrible news we received. Carolina L

Great Cottage & Location

We had the best time. The backyard is huge. My dogs loved it! The fit pit was amazing too. You are really close to the water but have the privacy of a property surrounded by trees. The little town was so cute! We went out to pub, had vegan ice cream, went to the beach, drove to neighbouring towns for more activities. It was the best. Everything you need is on site. Cooking ware, laundry and shower. We loved it! Thank you for having us.

Great location cute place

Our family (spouse and two adult children) planned on doing some hiking in the blue mountain and Wiarton region and this place was a great in between. It was very clean, had all the necessities of home (minus a lighter for night time fires - but we left ours behind for the next visitors) and had a beautiful backyard that our dog loved playing frisbee in.

Great cozy and spacious cottage !

My friends and I stayed at Eric's place for 9 days throughout Christmas and New years. It was a great stay overall; Eric responded very fast to all the inquiries, house was clean, had all the utensils and being able to do he laundry was a bonus for us. About 25 mins away from blue mountain and Collingwood which isnt too bad. I would definitely recommend Eric's place

Older home with charm

While this has the look and feel of an older place, Eric has done a good job on making the decor interesting. The kitchen is large, modern and well equipped. Shower is modern with plenty of hot water. The location is quiet at the end of a cul-de-sac, and the property is large. Lots of reasons to like this place.

The place was charming and located in a great place, but definitely could have benefitted from some upkeep and cleaning was sub-par. BBQ filthy. :(

Escape from the city

Our second stay here so we settled in quickly and know the neighbourhood. So nice to return to the familiar. Nothing has changed. Our Labradoodle also enjoys the backyard freedom and swimming in Georgian Bay! As avid road cyclists we spend a much of our time riding around the region - the roads and profile are ideal!!! Eric is always helpful and responsive although we’ve never actually had any issues to deal with. I hope we can return again soon! KH

Nice, cozy place

We spent a few days during the winter in this home. The house is very clean and comfortable. There is enough space for 6 adults and 2 kids. During the winter we couldn't enjoy the backyard, which is huge, but the house is located almost in the center of Meaford. Eric, thank you for your hospitality.

Why they chose this property

The property is my second home, in the area I grew up in, and plan on returning to.

What makes this property unique

Location location location - huge property with tons of privacy, yet in town. There is a forested hill, a large yard for a soccer game, and a great place for a fire (10 chairs). Also, Meaford is a great quiet town, yet close to Georgian Bay and lots of recreation and tourist activities.
