Relaxing Getaway
Had a wonderful time at the cabin for a few days. Enjoyed the beautiful hiking trails in the area that the host (Taria) suggested. Cabin had everything you needed to make it feel like a home away from home. Loved sampling some of their homemade maple syrup from the farm. Definitely recommend!!

Beautiful Retreat
Taria was a fantastic host and ensured I had everything I needed during my stay. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for rest and relaxation. Excited to stay again when the weather warms up a bit so I can explore the area and enjoy everything it has to offer. Pet friendly too which was a definite bonus.

Well kitted out cottage and friendly host
We stayed at Taria’s cottage with our two kids and had a wonderful time. The cottage is very well stocked with everything you need for a country getaway. Loads of board games, blankets to snuggle under by the fire, slippers, hot cocoa, etc. It’s a charming cottage on a beautiful property. My kids also enjoyed meeting the horses.

If you do require assistance or have any questions, Taria responds in record time. Lastly, our dog was treated like royalty and loved the surprise treats. Thank you so much to Taria and Dietrich.

Another Great Stay
This was our third stay at Brookside, as always sparkling clean cottage with all the amenities you could ask for. The dogs loved running around the property and sitting beside the horses as we gave them some carrots. This is a must place to visit if you just want to get away for a few days. We'll be back in the spring.

Wonderful, Peaceful Country Oasis
We had a fantastic stay as part of our "baby-moon" before the arrival of our little one. The cottage was clean and outfitted with everything you'd need - nothing was overlooked! We loved walking the trails with our dog and were fortunate enough to have Taria and her pup Ava join for us for a good runaround. Thank you Taria, we had a wonderful time!

Cutest Country Cottage
Where to begin... the cottage is so cute. Its the perfect size for a couples getaway. The host, Taria, puts so many detailed touches that make you feel right at home. We stayed with our dog and utilized the MANY trails around the property for morning walks. Such a beautiful area. We would highly recommend Brookside Cottages.

Clean and cozy
Taria was wonderful and welcoming. The cottage was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. Her pups are inquisitive and energetic. Defiantly bring a couple of bundles of carrots or apples for the horses. They are are eager to be your friend. The property has lovely trails and there are near by trails too. If you like to hike defiantly check out the Mono Cliffs (reservation req.) and Splitrock Narrows (free) especially the Narrows Side Trail.

A rare gift of quiet and stillness
This was our second stay at Brookside Cottage and we love the place. Living in a city, one forgets how quiet the country can be. Sitting out on the deck of the cottage and listening to the morning birds while drinking coffee is such a pleasure. Despite dire weather predictions, we had two very nice days of sun and clear nights, so I was able to do some astrophotography in the dark night sky. It is a real pleasure to be able to look up at the night sky and see so much more than we can see in the light-polluted city. We did a short hike through the woods on the property and that was quite enjoyable as well. It was a very enjoyable stay and with the wonderful Mrs. Mitchell's Restaurant just five minutes away, we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Brookside Cottage for a relaxing and quiet country getaway.

Relaxing Time Away
Beautiful cottage/home with all that you can ask for. Enjoyed the property and nights out by the fire. Our two dogs loved walking beside the horses as well as the trails not far from the front door. For those looking to get away this is the place. Brought my telescope up to take some photos. There is an outlet at the back of the cottage so bring an extension cord at least 50-70 feet if you want to set up on the wooden deck. Full views East, South and West!! We will be back

About the host

Hosted by Dietrich and Taria van Weesenbeek

Host profile image
Dietrich and Taria van Weesenbeek have been living in the local area for over 20 years.
We love the peace and quiet of our home, our dogs and horses and spending time riding, playing tennis and skiing.
As your hosts, you'll find us respectful of your privacy, but available anytime you need assistance.
Dietrich speaks English and Dutch. Taria speaks English and Finnish.

Why they chose this property

We looked for a number of years before we found the property we knew we'd never want to leave from. It was an opportunity to bring our love of horses home with us. This area is special to us as it brings us closer to nature, provides us with the privacy and calm that we wanted yet close to every day amenities.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the expansive views and the ever changing scenery. We often sit out, or from our window watching weather coming in, or the daily changes we see as the seasons change.
