    Exceptional Stay & an Amazing HostDeborah is truly an outstanding host, and this place was top-notch in every way. I travel frequently with friends, family, and my beloved furbabies, and for me, the place and environment matter a lot. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home.We booked very last minute and were quite stressed, as we couldn’t secure anything until just a day prior. Deborah kindly accepted our booking and made everything absolutely perfect for us.Our group had different expectations, and this property met them all beautifully. I was looking for a serene, cozy space to relax, reset, and start the new year peacefully. My friends wanted a safe and comfortable environment for game nights and New Year celebrations without worry. My furbabies needed space to run, explore, and stay secure—and this place delivered on every front.Meeting the friendly horses was such a lovely experience, and the surroundings were simply beautiful.There was a small misunderstanding about the pool being open year-round, and Deborah handled it with complete understanding. She went above and beyond by offering sledding for our group of 10, which was incredibly thoughtful. We had an amazing day sledding down multiple hills while our furbabies safely enjoyed the space around us.This is by far one of the best places we have ever booked, and I would absolutely stay here again.Deborah, thank you for being such a wonderful host.

    We had a great time. We were two families with 4 adults adn 4 kids and stayed for 1 week. The place was large and we were extremely comfortable. It's worth mentioning how clean the house was compared to other rentals that we have stayed at. The kitchen was very well stocked with basics as well as plenty of cooking items. The pool was amazing and was definitely the best part for us. They had so many pool toys, beach towels, and lawn games. The host, Deborah, was really wonderful. She communicated well and helped us with anything we needed. Deborah lives on the property and she opened and closed the pool every day. Even so, we never felt at any point that we were being monitored or anything like that. It felt very private, and we had the bonus of having someone help take care of things on a daily basis.We did a horse riding experience at the stables, which was wonderful. We also did some little excursions that the kids really enjoyed--the Peterborough Zoo, blueberry picking, and the Wutai Shen Temple. Shopping was easy with Peterborough and Millbrook so close, and Bethany is just 2 minutes away for basic general store needs. Would be more than happy to stay there again in the future.

    I stayed with my grownup children & grandchildren and we had a fantastic time. Deborah was accessible when needed and easy to talk with. Loved the double pool and it was used constantly. Definitely would stay again.

    We spent over a week at the property, and everybody enjoyed the facility and hospitality of the host. The beds were comfy, the pool was warm, and there was plenty of room for us to sprawl out, play games, and explore. The horses were the perfect backdrop for a relaxing vacation, and were complimented by the views.

    We just hosted our small, 40 guest wedding at Sky Haven this past weekend. Everything was absolutely incredible. The weather didn’t want to cooperate for us, so everything was held indoors in the atrium and it fit our group perfectly. Deborah was an absolute delight to work with and she was so so helpful as we had to adjust our plans. Our guests and wedding party absolutely adored the location and it was such a great place to spend the weekend with all of our closest friends and family. We used the lower suite for the girls to get ready on the day of, and we felt like we had so much space to keep separate from the groomsmen.

    Amazing stay! I had a group of friends (15 total and our dogs) to celebrate my up coming wedding and this place was the most perfect location. Lots of space indoors and out to play games and hangout. Deborah was so helpful and everything was a breeze.

    This place is just amazing. We were 18 adults and 3 kids and we all enjoyed our stay. The kids had fun in the pool, the trampoline and play structure. Enough space for everyone while being outside by the BBQ and pool or inside. The host is great and attentive. She responds quickly to any requests. The kitchen has everything you need (and more) for cooking meals and serving them. I highly recommend it. We will definitely be back.

    Our family had a great extended weekend here at this beautiful cottage! We had lots of young kids in our group and none of them were ever bored. There were so many activities available to us at the cottage, with the main attraction being the double heated pool. It was great to have Deborah show us around and always available when we had any questions. Highly recommend this cottage and would love to return in the future!

    We were absolutely thrilled with everything! Our host was amazing! From initial contact at booking, through the entire stay and departure, she was available and extremely helpful. The property was immaculate and perfect for our family of 10 adults and many small children. There was lots to do on site and space for everyone. The play area and pool were our favourites! The kitchen was very well appointed for cooking, baking and barbecueing. We rate it 5+ stars!

    Debra was an amazing host her outdoor area was amazing with heated pool. She also made great recommendations of some places to go nearby. Port Perry is definitely a nice place to go. It’s only 20 minutes away and has great restaurants. Definitely will go back if I’m in that area again

    Great for a family group, lots to do. Deborah was very accommodating and checked in regularly to ensure all was well. Beautiful setting for pre wedding event and photos. Very clean and kitchen had everything we needed. A few updates/ refreshes would align more with the price, one bedroom was quite warm as it didn’t have a window for air flow.
