Spacious Home Perfect for Family Weekends

My family and I stayed in this house for a week around Christmas. We had our Christmas Eve dinner there, and the house is really upgraded, clean, and equipped with tons of utilities and appliances—everything you could possibly need. We were very happy with our stay. I strongly recommend this property.

Meaford is a nice little town , close to Collingwood for skiing

Our party of six adults and three teens stayed at this home over the 2022 May long weekend to celebrate our friend’s 50th birthday. We had hoped to spend our evenings lounging in the hot tub but received a frenzied call from the owner, just before we arrived in Meaford, telling us that the hot tub wasn’t working. The owner compensated us financially so that the adults could use the Scandinave Spa and the teens could visit the “Plunge” waterpark at Blue Mountain (about 25 minutes away), but we were still disappointed that this amenity was not available as advertised and we were given such little notice. Upon arrival, the house was lovely and appeared just as pictured online. But after closer inspection, the cobwebs on the light fixtures and on the chairs in the dining room showed that the home did not appear to have been maintained over the winter months and it required a better Spring cleaning. Several people in our party were also bothered by the dust throughout the home and were forced to take antihistamines throughout our stay. The King and Queen beds were all quite comfortable with beautiful bedding, but the bunk beds were a disaster. Neither bunk bed had a mattress, just a regular box spring with what appeared to be an old futon mattress on top. They were incredibly uncomfortable and noisy (they creaked loudly anytime you moved). The top bunk was so close to the ceiling that you had to be very careful not to hit your head or come too close to the ceiling fan. After three uncomfortable nights, we packed up our things from the kitchen, only to find fresh mouse droppings in one of the lazy susan’s – they definitely weren’t there when we arrived. That same morning, after we had all showered, we found a huge, dripping water stain in the dining room that appeared to be coming from the bathroom above. Thankfully we were on our way out and this did not affect our stay. Unfortunately, our request to be reimbursed for the cleaning fee – in light of the dust and fresh mice droppings – was rejected by the owner, as was our request to be financially compensated for the poor night’s sleep in the bunk beds. The owner deemed our requests to be “unreasonable and without merit”, which is incredibly disappointing considering she reminded us several times that she was a credited “Superhost”. We think this title is greatly exaggerated.

We had a terrific Christmas and holiday. The children enjoyed the yard and the fire pit, They liked all the little nooks and crannies.We will have so many great memories.

Great location, lovely and comfortable house. Worked extremely well for four couples to get away for a weekend. We will be back!

Beautiful, well equipped home. Great location in Meaford. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Home was even better than the pictures! We had such a wonderful time at the house and Meaford is such a cute and quaint town. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you very much Linda.

We absolutely loved Linda's house. There is literally everything you could possibly need to have a a great time. We spent every day in the hottub, at the beach (walking distance) and at local shops and cafes Linda was VERY responsive to any questions we had and was great at helping us with any and all questions we had leading up to and following our checkin Thanks so much Linda for a great family vacay and memories for years to come!

A lovely little town and a comfy, well appointed property. Linda was a wonderful and responsive host. Our family really enjoyed the great living room, the movie collection, really well laid out kitchen and the property. We did trips to the lovey local beaches to swim, paddle board and windsurf, biked around the town and then relaxed in the hot tub! A great vacation!

Thank you for a wonderful summer getaway for three generations of our family. From the local beach to walking trails to shops to splash-pad playground, everything was within walking distance. Best of all was curling up in the backyard for family fun and enjoying the main floor living space. The house has it all! Linda is a warm and responsive host and our week away was everything we imagined. Kim and family
