We had such a lovely stay!!!! Elizabeth was super! Everything was so well stocked for our breakfasts and of course this included her delicious homemade bread. Great selection from cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit, fresh eggs, milk and juice and of course coffee and tea. The cottage was very clean and the beds were so comfy cozy. We enjoyed the trails and also the afternoon and evening campfires. The cottage feels secluded, but it is not far from town. If we needed anything, we were assured not to hesitate to ask. This cottage is ideal ANYTIME of year...the snow covered trails were so much fun and seeing the tracks in the snow from the area wildlife was a delight. Coming back to the cottage to sit in front of the fabulous fireplace was one of the highlights. Regardless of your age, there is something for everyone here. We are already thinking about our next stay! Thanks Elizabeth!

Elizabeth's place was wonderful. It was the perfect location for us as we were visiting family in Durham. The house had more than enough room for the four of us. Elizabeth goes above and beyond providing her guests with all the essentials needed. The homemade bread a jams were delicious. Having a stocked pantry for breakfast was fantastic. Communication with Elizabeth was always quick and she provided great directions. The trails just outside the front door were great for a morning walk. We will surely use Elizabeth's house again if needed while visiting family again.

We had a wonderful time at Elizabeth's lovely place. The setting is very private - beautiful trees, lots of nature - but is also 2 km from a small town that offers everything you might need. Cell phone service was excellent and the place is now set up with Internet. It was very roomy and nicely decorated. We loved the wood burning fireplace - relaxing and cozy. One of the highlights was the kitchen - it is well stocked and Elizabeth provided everything that you would need for breakfast including eggs, homemade bread and granola, fruit, milk and juice. Bedding was lovely (what a comfy bed) and there were lots of towels. Elizabeth was a great host - checked us in and was available if we needed her. She made us feel very welcome and it was a pleasure meeting her. We plan to be back!

The location is spectacular. The home is immaculate and this is a perfect destination if you wanna unwind and get away from the daily hustle bustle. Our host, Elizabeth was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely come back again!

Our stay at Elizabeth's place was lovely. She was there to greet us when we arrived, and had the table and patio set up for the number of people we had. She left a delicious loaf of homemade bread and jams, as well as all other breakfast foods we could possibly need. There were various hiking trails on the property as well as a pond, which made for a lot of great time spent outdoors. Elizabeth was easy to reach, flexible, and very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic. Beautiful space. Excellent hiking. Well accommodated at the house, with pleanty of space, a fair sized kitchen and an extremely comfortable living room. Close to town while having tons of privacy. The property is beautiful in the winter!

Follow Elizabeth's directions and you will not get lost. She is so hospitable, everything from homemade granola and homemade bread, milk, eggs and fruit ready in the fridge. She had all the beds made up and even rigged up the perfect baby gate for our active 2 year old. The home is clean and has big windows so your view is literally the forest all around. There are many trails in the forest, one in particular opens up into a beautiful meadow. The kids and I hike in the forest for two hours, just exploring. She had a firepit ready for us as well as natural wooden walking sticks, which the kids loved. There is a jet tub downstairs, which is a hit with the kids as well, and plenty of running around space inside and outside. Elizabeth even let us check out the frogs in her pond. We had such a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this home in the woods. Elizabeth herself is a very respectful, resourceful, and special person.

This "cottage" is exceptional. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, with trails for exploring. The house is spacious, clean and comfortable. The view from the kitchen, dining room and deck is of a forested valley. So relaxing! The fridge was stocked with everything we needed for breakfast including eggs, milk, juice, homemade bread, homemade jams, peanut butter, yogurt, fruit ... and a Tassimo with lovely coffee. Elizabeth was gracious and helpful, letting us know she was close by if we needed anything, but not at all imposing on our privacy. I am looking forward to our next visit!

We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer's place! The bunkie is very well equipped, warm and comfortable. Our hosts were very quick to respond whilst respecting our privacy at all times. They have thought of everything! We sat by the campfire all evening which is right outside the door of the bunkie and overlooks the hill where we could listen to the cows, geese and then the crickets into the night. We watched the stars and toasted marshmallows. Jennifer's place is perfect for quiet secluded activities and is a lovely woodland hike a few minutes drive away...we saw some wild deer!

Absolutely perfect place to get out of town. Very clean and quiet and Jennifer is very friendly and prompt in communication. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent time enjoying the privacy and warmth of the bunkie, it was a perfect place to spend an evening playing the provided board games and cozying up against the cold weather! Jennifer was a very accommodating host, and the 'perks' like the smores, firewood, and board games were much appreciated.

Had a fantastic time at this little Bunkie! Would definitely stay again :) absolutely gorgeous spot on a hill overlooking the countryside. We went for a little stroll and heard the cowbells and seen several deer in the field. A great getaway! Highly recommended

This was a perfect home-base location for my day trips to MacGregor Provincial Park & Tobermory. The adorable cabin had everything, and Jen even put supplies out for s'mores! The bed was the most comfy mattress I've slept on (considering buying a similar model myself) and the view looking out the front porch door canvases acre upon acre of the beautiful country scenery. Ohmalord, such an amazing trip. If you're looking for peace and serenity, look no further than The Bunkie.

Wonderful time at this great location, breathtaking view in the day and night. Amazing hospitality, we couldn't have asked for more. The fire pit is the cherry on top. Would be back next season for sure.

A great place to relax and have time away from the city. Very comfortable and cozy- would definitely recommend for a couple looking for a quiet weekend.

This bunkie is charming and relaxing. A great place to escape from city life. Would stay here again in a heartbeat and won't hesitate to recommend. Jennifer was very accommodating and welcoming.

as described

Jenny and Steve are wonderful hosts, and their space is fantastic. Every single thing in the room is an object of interest, from the nightstand made of old suitcases to the crazy retro kitchen table set. Jenny and Steve welcomed us warmly, let us crash their new years party and meet all their lovely friends, regaled us with stories, and pointed us towards the local attractions. We were looking for a quiet New Years away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and we certainly found it!

My stay at Jenny and Steve's was just wonderful, I enjoyed it immensely. To start, I was kind of in a bind and needed a place to stay on short notice. Jenny and Steve were so accommodating and very kind to let me stay at their oasis even though they were going out of town for the holidays. The place was so private yet fun. On my last night my sister joined me and found it to be a gem. She commented that she would like to book the room sometime in the future when visiting family. It was a relief to stay in the area close to family yet gave me my privacy. This place is definitely a place to stay if you are in the area. Laurie

A great first experience with Airbnb. We had a friendly and welcoming greeting and departure. It was private; we had the space (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and sitting space) to ourselves. Although we didn't spend much time with our hosts (we were out and about all day for a wedding) we got a glimpse into either/or both their personality and style in this super cool art filled & inspired space. We also learn Durham's a pretty cool town! Of course Steve was able to tell us all about it and give excellent recommendations.

We drove from Toronto and visited many parks and lakes before arriving in Durham, Jenny gave us a very warm welcome when we got to their place after a long day of driving. The location was very easy to find, parking was right at the back, very convenient. Their place was very interesting and very spacious, in the front you will find an art gallery, and in the back it has a bedroom and an ensuite bathroom, kitchen, and a pool table. Everything is clean. Jenny even invited us to a local pub where they had live music, we had a drink with Jenny and Steve and enjoyed our night in Durham. They are very nice host, anyone going to Durham I would highly recommend staying with them!

We could not have asked for a better spot. Jenny and Steve are terrific hosts who provided a bright and warm welcome to us. Communication was fluid and key exchange, check in/out smooth and easy. There is a parking spot available just behind the building, and rear access to the bnb. Inside, the decor is an eclectic blend of musical instruments, paintings, hard wood floors, and a pool table. Very clean, also. Steve bakes delicious bagels, and left us some, which we dined on in the mornings (they were so good and much healthier than you're typical fare). Next time I want to ski Blue Mountain, I will definitely check availability here. Thank you!

Thank you to Jenny and Steve for a quiet, relaxed stay complete with a desk and wifi to get work done. If you are looking for a simple spot to stay in a small town on Rt. 6 with friendly hosts, look no further.

We had such a nice time staying at Jenny and Steve's place in the back of a beautiful little gallery. We arrived a bit later than expected but Jenny still came down and welcomed us into her place, and showed us around. Although it was bitter cold out, we came to explore around Durham - Jenny provided us with some nice suggestions! This place is a great pick, with a comfortable bedroom, clean bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchen for those who want to cook. I'd definitely stay again (we even booked another night after the first one!)

Unforgettable night in a country side. very clean, spacious, well decorated space. One of the best BnB we have ever stayed. Fresh and great breakfast in the morning. She always welcomed us and very nice host.

Clean and quiet with lovely host.

We loved our stay here. My wife and I stayed for 2 nights in February 2016 while we were exploring the areas around Durham and couldn't have found a better place! The communication was spot on! Fred, Tania, Rosy - everyone made us feel like home. Rosy even made us some mount watering peanut butter cookies :D It is a quiet old retirement home and everyone living there is super friendly. Thanks a airbnb we got to experience living in a retirement home :)

Lovely facilities, welcoming residents and staff. I had such a wonderful stay!

Basic lodging with warm, friendly host.

Our stay at Abbeyfield was wonderful. The facility was lovely and very clean. Tania, Rosie, Fred and Rhonda were the perfect hosts and made sure we were comfortable. We especially enjoyed meeting a couple of the charming residents. We would highly recommend Abbeyfield and would definitely stay there again. Maureen and John

A group of us booked this place for a 3-day course at the Walkerton Clean Water Centre. It was only 15 minutes away so it was perfect for our needs. The house is beautiful and situated on a peaceful lake. Riki was helpful for any questions I had. Overall it was a very comfortable and relaxing stay even when we weren't able to enjoy it for most of the day because we were at our course - it was nice to come back to from a long day. Thanks Riki!

Riki firstly was one of the most responsive hosts I've encountered on Airbnb. She got back on everything super quick. Not only did she give us information on the property and surrounds, she gave us great ideas on things to do in the area once we'd told her our interests. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 small children and the house was MORE than adequate for us. Its massive. 4 large and well appointed bedrooms. The pictures perhaps don't do it justice. It can easily fit the 8 they've said it can. The house is decorated with really nice details. Individual taste of course will differ but the care put into making the place a home is evident. Linen, tons of towels, toilet and kitchen roll and everything you can possibly need for the kitchen is included. Even a very well stocked pantry - though we'd taken everything besides salt and some oil. The house is right on the lake. We went in the winter so it provided great views at best. I can imagine in the summer it would be fab. They have canoes and other outdoor entertainment. In terms of location its a bit of the best of both worlds. Its about 5 minutes away from the town of Hanover which is well populated with food and coffee places, gas and stores. Where we were though was quiet and off the beaten path and just what we were looking for. While we were there, we went to Tobermory as well as The Blue Mountains. Both were about an hour and a half give or take. Theres lots of lovely towns and cideries/wineries waterfalls and natural conservation areas around. Also, many lovely independent restaurants, cafes, bakeries and coffee places. Plenty to do even if you didn't want to drive too far. The house was cleaned well and a big highlight for us with our small kids was the washer dryer. Oh, and it has a fully functional dishwasher which I've only come across one time before in my extensive use of Airbnb cottages. We have a fussy 3 year old that doesn't like to stay over anywhere without us doing a lot of hyping. When we left after visiting a waterfall nearby and said we're going home, she asked 'Where? To the lakehouse?'. That should tell you a little something :). All things considered, this has become a favorite for us and we definitely want to return for the summer.

My family and I were very pleased with Riki's house and our experience during our stay. The accomodations were as listed and easily accommodated our party of 6 adults with plenty of bedroom space, bathrooms, kitchen amenities and comfortable seating. The view of the lake was awesome from the house and patio and we enjoyed paddling the provided canoe around the lake most mornings. The area was very quiet and we noticed little noise from the surrounding lake houses. Amenties such as groceries, fuel and other supplies were only a short drive away and very convienent. Riki was very accommodating and responsive to our requests and provided a packet of local amenities and things to do. When we had difficulties completing the rental aggreement she went out her way to work with us. We highly recommend this rental for folks wanting a comfortable, quiet location to relax and spend time with family.

The reservation was canceled 35 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The cottage was amazing, better than expected! We had our own private part of the lake and Riki provided us with a canoe to explore the lake with, not to mention a large DVD collection for rainy days inside. Riki was very quick with responses, flexible with check out times. Would definitely book again next year!

This was a fantastic experience. Riki was accommodating and had lots of details to share with us from the moment we booked. We received a package with security, safety, travel & tourism info, and a quick 'how-to' guide (which was very helpful when staying away from home). The photos in this listing do not do the place justice! It was very spacious and well decorated. With 8 of us staying here, we felt safe and were never tripping over one another. There was also plenty of parking for us as we arrived in separate cars. The kitchen, bathrooms, living spaces, and waterfront not only met but exceeded our expectations. The building was clean and surfaces were tidy. A quick trip into Hanover allowed us to pick up any groceries (&LCBO items). Although we did not meet or speak with Riki, we really didn't have to because of the front-loading that went into this stay. Riki made sure we had all the information prior to arrival and was available by phone/email/text if needed. The only down fall was that it was too cold to go for a swim! Hopefully we will return to this "Private Lake Escape" - it was a pleasure doing business with you.

Nice place with nice nature

Riki was very welcoming and accommodating. She made sure the house was clean and warm before we arrived. The neighbourhood was great - very quiet and relaxing. The house itself was exactly as described - clean, spacious, in great condition, with all amenities. Riki has a beautiful home and we are glad that we could stay there for Christmas. It was a wonderful holiday.

Host was very friendly and helpful!!! had a great experience!

Beautiful place surrounded by nature. Your host will make you feel home. Excellent experience. We will be back !!!

Susan and Kevin's place was lovely! We had a rainy weekend, but could not ask for a more perfect spot. Tranquil, comfy, and relaxing it was exactly the weekend we needed from the hustle and bustle of Toronto. You are great hosts and your attention to the little things really separates you from the rest. Hope to be back soon! - Raj & Pete

Such an amazing experience! If you're looking for a secluded getaway in a beautiful area, this is the perfect location. Susan and Kevin were extremely welcoming before we even arrived, making us a personal welcome sign, homemade treats and even had a fully stocked fridge. We were treated like family more than guests at a hotel. We went in the winter and the scenery was beautiful but will definitely be back in the summer for another stay!

Susan and Kevin's place was a fantastic retreat in the Canadian wilderness and a welcome rest from the hustle and bustle of Montreal and Toronto. Their place is wonderfully secluded and is elegantly laid out. As fairly well-experienced AirBnb'ers, I think we would both say that we have never had a better welcome than the one that Sue gave us on the first day - she had left lots of individual touches and a delicious welcoming hamper for us when we arrived. Indeed, our hosts were responsive, conscientious and helpful prior, during and after our stay, and made our brief stay a thoroughly enjoyable one. Our only regret was that we had only booked to stay for one night - I would recommend a longer stay if visitors are able to; it is a fantastic starting point to explore the waterfalls, lakes and countryside around this area of Canada. We hope to return soon!

Dragonfly Hollow was a wonderful place to spend a weekend. We were in the area for a wedding and and had a lovely stay. Susan and Kevin were excellent hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable place to stay in a beautiful area.

Susan & Kevin's place was absolutely fantastic! My family and I have stayed at many Airbnb's and this was one of the most welcoming places. Susan really went out of her way to meet our dietary needs, including providing gluten, dairy and sugar free snacks. The snacks and drinks provided really made a big difference for getting going in the morning. The place was immaculate and very comfortable for my wife, son and I. Loved the availability of all the family games and the movie selections. Looking forward to coming back in the summer to really take in the greenery and the area. Overall, Susan really had us feel special and made it a wonderful experience versus just a room for the night!

The true embodiment of what an Airbnb should be and more. Susan and Kevin are amazing hosts if you are considering staying here you most certainly should.

What an incredible place!! The picture's don't do it justice. Cooked a fantastic meal in the huge modern kitchen. Long hikes in the well marked trails in the woods nearby. The stars at night by the fire-pit were unbelievable. Make sure to get outside to watch the moon rise over the hills at night. Too bad it was too cold to swim in the pond..only the dog was brave enough to go in! This place is perfect for a weekend away for a couple, or for the whole family. Couldn't ask for a better host than Heather.

Words and pictures cannot do justice for Susan's home. She was extremely friendly and a pleasure to chat with. Susan's home was perfect, located in a private area with amenities close by. The house was extremely clean and the river and garden were truly breathtaking. We enjoyed our stay at Grey Getaway and we look forward to staying here again.

Wow! This is hands down the nicest Airbnb we've stayed in yet, and we've stayed in some nice ones. Every detail just screams quality. The layout of this home is conducive to relaxation, with a rural view out every window. Susan has a great sense for interior design and the furniture is intuitively arranged to make the most of the home's best features, specifically the fireplace. It snowed while we were there and the property became a winter wonderland. Bring boots for walking around, there was one pair of rainboots there which I wore because I forgot mine. Everything is luxurious here. And Susan left us so many unexpected snacks and food, we barely needed to bring groceries. Her thoughtful touches are evident everywhere and she's very available via texting to provide tips and historical background on the property. One of the best parts about Grey Getaway is the door code lock, which means that you can arrive in your own timing and check yourself in. This eliminates that sometimes tedious back-and-forth with the host to arrange coordinating arrival time. Susan has thought of everything!

My wife and I spent a weekend at Susan's property. The house and property were awesome. We especially enjoyed our walks on the trails and relaxing in front of the fire place each evening. The house was clean and all ready for our arrival. Susan is always ready to answer any questions you have and makes sure that you have a pleasant experience. If you are looking for a stress free and relaxing place to stay I highly recommend grey getaway. Thanks Susan for a great weekend.

Amazing stay! Thank you so much for your hospitality. We would highly recommend your house to anyone. A really fantastic weekend! Thank you!

My friends and I spent a fabulous weekend at Grey Getaway! The weather was not on our side, which meant we spent most of the time indoors, but we had everything we needed for a truly relaxing weekend. Simply sitting by the fire and enjoying the surroundings was all we needed. Susan went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and was a perfect host. We hope to return!

Had a wonderful weekend away at Grey Getaway. The house was beautiful and clean. In a quiet area. Very close to trails and Eugenia falls for lovely walks.

She was kind and perfect host I ever had. Thank you for everything that you have prepared for us!! We will come back next year!

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. Everything about it, from the inside to the outsider, was phenomenal. It was clean, well maintained and had everything you need. My family and I will definitely be returning. Susan was also a great host who was always in contact with me and very quick to respond. Thanks Susan for this great place!

Lynne and Michael were great hosts that were outgoing, generous and saw to every small detail. It was really interesting to hear about the history of their treehouse and the surrounding land, as well as their stories from travels past! The listing was quite accurate, and the neighbourhood was definitely part of the quiet and relaxing countryside of Ontario.

Where do I begin? Easily my favourite place I've stayed at with Airbnb. Stunning location set aside in its own lovely little world. One of the most beautiful houses I've ever been in, and the enormous barn is gorgeous as well. The treehouse itself is literally breathtaking, and there's a large outdoor pool with an outdoor lounge area with a cozy fireplace to boot. Lynne and her family are some of the nicest, most welcoming people I've ever met, and treated us with more warmth and hospitality than we could ever have asked for. A beautiful place and a beautiful family. I don't know when I'll be back in Canada, but I will absolutely definitely be back. Do not miss out on this incredible get away! The pictures look great but don't even come close to doing it justice - being there is something else.

From the moment we drove onto the Knowlton property there was sense of peace & tranquility. Not only were the cabin, treehouse, stunning grounds and luxurious pool area drop-dead gorgeous (think Tuscany in Ontario- Lynne is a design GODESS) but our experience was far exceeded by the Knowlton family themselves. They are such wonderful, thoughtful, welcoming, lovely people. Our stay was incredible and we cannot wait to go back! Thank you, thank you, thank you! X

Our family of 4 had a great time, our kids (7&3) were blown away. It's a very inspiring holiday. Lots of great new memories, but some of my favourite moments were watching the kids at night wander from the treehouse to the pool on their own, marvelling at what was a really enchanting getaway. Thanks to Brett and Michael and Lynne and everyone there for a memorable stay, we look forward to coming back next year.

Where does one even begin with this magical treetop abode? It's like being transported into a real time Wes Anderson movie, except the attention to details may be even more divine than those of Wes himself! Lynne and Michael have created a place unlike any other, a truly unique experience that no matter how much we read about online - ended up surprising us well beyond our wildest expectations. Everything from Lynne's kindness in surprising us with our favourite delightful treats in the treehouse fridge upon our arrival, to the conversations with her and her husband Michael, to the lovely kitties who followed us even to the pond to make sure our enjoyment levels were at maximum cute supreme - we're counting down the days to when we can visit this whimsical abode again. It's like the feeling of being in a boutique hotel, except you've got the whole resort all to yourself! Thank you so much Lynne, Michael and family for having us!

Photos and words cannot even capture how amazing this retreat is. Every little detail (and there are many) is a wonderful reflection of Lynne and Michael and they have created something really special. If you have an opportunity to experience the treehouse retreat, I assure you that it will be an experience that you will hold in your heart forever. Thank you Lynne, Michael and family for your exceptional hospitality. -Angie Gingl

Thank you Michael and Lynne for an AMAZING weekend at your beautiful property! This past weekend I was able to celebrate my birthday amidst the trees with my husband and 4 of our closest friends (+ a 3wk old!!). Everything was PERFECT. I can't begin to describe how peaceful, relaxing and picturesque this property is. Lynne and Michael thought of EVERYTHING, and I mean everything. They had things I didn't even think I would need like a juicer, playing cards, flashlights etc! This property is beyond words. As if the property wasn't enough, we also had the pleasure of spending some time with Lynne and Michael (and Evie :)) and they were just as described: SUPER HOSTS. You can tell that this family loves to love, they put some much heart into their property, their interactions with their guests and every minor detail. Thank you once again for such a lovely weekend, it was a birthday that will be VERY hard to top. Sincerely, Lisa (and the whole gang)!

Michael and Lynne were phenomenal hosts. Greeted us with enthusiasm, warmth, humor ... just a genuine welcome that made us feel like we belonged. Put it this way, there was nothing, absolutely nothing we didn't love. Surprisingly, even though the pictures are very well done and represent the place perfectly, it was better than that. The way Michael and Lynne set up the Treehouse and separate buildings for the bath and the Bunkie, we felt like we were in a little village. Carrie kept saying she was the Mayor and Sherriff. LOL :) It was a surprise getaway for Carrie and the only thing I kept telling her was how great this place was. She loved it!!!

Lisa responded immediately to any inquiries I had leading all the way up until we were there. The house was beautiful and we had such a great time this weekend. I booked a tour at Neustadt Brewery about 20 minutes away and that was a lot of fun. Thanks so much, Lisa!

The cabin is incredibly beautiful with so much to do, exploring and games. The beds are all comfortable and kitchen and huge dining table are great for meals together. The only problem was internet was not available our whole stay!

The magical log cabin was a gorgeous place to spend a winter weekend. The cabin is huge, clean, located in a beautiful, quiet area. I can't wait to go back!

We went to the Magical Log Cabin for a relaxing girls weekend. It was everything we hoped for and more! It is a big, beautiful, clean space with everything that we could have possibly needed. It was so homey and so comfortable with lots of great couches to lounge on, a fireplace and tons of nooks to explore on the property. The welcome package was so helpful to find things and how they work. Laura was amazing and answered right away when we couldn't find the lockbox. We absolutely loved the cabin and will cherish our memories there forever. We would definitely love to come back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for an oasis in the woods!

Beautiful home. Would love to stay here again in the future.

The cottage was as described and was perfect for my group's long weekend. Lisa was a very responsive host and also thoughtfully provided a welcome gift upon our arrival. The cottage is beautifully designed and decorated and many of the group mentioned they would be more than happy to return for future cottage trips.

Lisa was very well-organized prior to the trip. Note that you will have to fill out some extra forms but in a way it provides a reassurance that she is taking the rental seriously as well. The place itself is as advertised - beautiful wooden cabin with lots of space. Amenities were as described. We did not make use of the wood stove oven but we did use the BBQ and the fire pit. We went during a heat wave with no AC but we did find it quite tolerable with some fans and one portable AC unit. Overall had a great experience and would recommend :)

Lisa's cottage is everything you see in the pictures, and more. It is nothing short of 'magical'. It was absolutely beautiful, tucked away in a secluded spot! It was spacious, and cozy, and accommodated 10 of us perfectly. Although it rained for a day, the house had so much to do, from playing ping-pong, to sitting on the porch and enjoying the garden and pond around. The cottage kitchen was also well equipped with all the necessary cookware. We did not get to meet Lisa personally, she was a pleasure to connect with and speak on the phone, and answered all our questions. Thank you for sharing your home and such a lovely stay. We only hope we can visit again next summer!

A beautiful house located on a gorgeous piece of property.

We loved our time in Durham and the proximity to Beaver Valley Ski resort was perfect. The home is lovely, extremely well equipped and definitely exceeded our expectations. We will be looking forward to visiting again, very soon!

Our stay at Lothbroek exceeded all our expectations. It was the perfect setting for our family winter getaway. The house itself it gorgeous, spacious and superbly outfitted (with everything from kitchen utensils and cookware to books, boardgames, (and a bin of lego!) to toboggans and sleds. Rivalling the beauty of the house is the amazing property it is located on. During our visit (Dec), the property provided hours of winter hikes/sledding/exploring through forest and fields. This listing was an amazing find for us and we hope to return in the future.

1. Smooth process, quick responses and reasonable host. 2. Driving there is very easy, only problem is GPS doesn't recognize where the correct place is. Best way to search is just by numbers. Once we figured it out which way numbers increase, we found it with no issues. 3. Cottage is huge, two staircases, six rooms, lots of couch space. Beautiful view and lot of land. 4. Closest stores are about 15 minutes down the road, all of them close early though - even gas stations. There is a foodland and few convenience stores. 5. Would highly recommend to book, would come back in future.
