BernieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Amazing!!!! Been coming to Natalia’s beautiful cottage for years and it’s never a disappointment. She’s renovated the cottage and replaced the furniture with newer furniture. Communication is the best, she responds within the hour sometimes even within minutes. She’s super accommodating!

Beautiful log home with views - close to beaches

DomRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This was the best year yet. It snowed quote a bit during our stay and it was an amazing view from the cabin to outside and surrounding areas, albeit the cabin was cozy and warm with the fireplace. Everything about this cozy cabin is the perfect getaway, as this is our 4th year coming up. Always a great time, the place is clean, tidy and fun with the amenities and games among the house. Super grateful Rosanna is always so friendly, welcoming and responsive. Thanks again, Domenic and friends.

Waterfront home, city/sunset view & steps to beach

JimmyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was exactly as described, spacious, and had a ton of amenities. Even in the winter, we could always find things to do at the home, and the location was great as it was in a nice and quiet neighbourhood but also it was easy to access activities in the surrounding areas/mountains/resorts. Also, Curtis was a very responsive and positive host; he was very clear with his instructions and quick to answer any questions we had. Great experience!

The Grandiose

GigiRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Great place for our family of four, loved the hot tub after full days of skiing and tubing at the nearby hills. We enjoyed the pool table, ping pong and the board games. Lots of space for the family to relax. As mentioned from other guests, the curtains don't cover the windows entirely so bring an eye mask! The kitchen was equipped for our needs. The bathroom is large and great shower pressure.

The indoor/outdoor heated pool is surrounded by large windows, allowing natural light to illuminate the clear blue water. Poolside seating is visible in the background, complementing the spacious setting, while distinctive shadow patterns from the overhead structures add visual interest.

Mistywood Cottage

NicoleRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Tatiana and Tymur were wondering hosts. They really care for their guests and for their beautiful cottage. The large windows in the cottage really showcased the beauty of the outdoor space. There are many rooms with comfortable beds and three washrooms - all well equipped- which was great as we were traveling in a larger group. The kitchen had everything you needed. We loved the large family living room, they even had extra games for us to play. Everything was kept tidy and clean. We all felt comfortable and at home. The family was already asking to come back in the summer! Thank you again ☺️

A charming exterior features a wooden deck with multiple steps leading up to a cozy home. An orange umbrella provides shade over outdoor seating, with a sign indicating access restrictions. Lush green grass surrounds the area, complemented by trees in the background.

COZY Cottage steps away from the beach.

SharonRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Andreina was a great host. I booked her place for a guest of ours and she was quick to answer any questions and was really accommodating to our guest who had pets. Her place was in a great location, private but not too far from town. The house was just as the pictures said and kept really clean, she made our guest feel right at home! I would recommend her place and I look forward to working with her again in the future!!
