We spent the past several days at Andrea's property with the family. It was a truly fantastic experience as the property was absolutely beautiful, and everything you could possibly require was provided. Andrea was a fantastic host and communication was fantastic. We look forward to returning!
Me and my friends stayed here for the weekend and it was amazing!! The home is nicely secluded and was only a five minute drive to the Scandinave Spa. The home decor is exquisite and the home is beautifully decorated. Everything was clean and neat. The booking process was super smooth and we will definitely look to rebook another stay here!
I booked this property for my wife's birthday and stayed there for 3 nights with her my kids and my dog. Everything was as advertised, Andrea is an excellent host, she really cares about the guests, she goes beyond what you would expect. My whole stay and experience was perfect!! I would highly recommend Andrea's place for your next getaway and i would definitely go back.
Thank you Andrea for everything!!
The best cottage we have ever been to! I wish we could’ve stayed forever 🤩
Andrea and Bruce are amazing hosts, they are responsive, helpful, kind and very thoughtful.
Located in the best spot possible, anything you may need is within a 5 minute radius.
Cottage itself is beautiful and very well maintained. From the moment you set foot outside the car, you are amazed by how thoughtfully everything is chosen and how the place looks like a scene from a movie. They have amazing sense of design, fabulous choice of furniture (including some really beautiful antique pieces) and a very good taste in music😌
Check in process is seamless and the house rules are pretty straightforward and simple, as if you are just, well, at your own home!
Not only the place itself looks gorgeous, but also the attention to details is what makes your stay more enjoyable. As soon as you open the door you are greeted by a very well chosen playlist and the smell of freshness and picture worthy corner everywhere.
They were kind enough to place anything we may have needed in the kitchen and they even left us balloons for the birthday we were celebrating.
This was our first time staying here, but it certainly will not be the last.
Thanks to our lovely host family ❤️
Forest Cottage was an excellent spot for our large family celebration. The house is beautiful, lots of space and bedrooms, and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable. The kids loved the yard with the zip line. It’s close to everything while still providing an in the forest feel. The host was terrific and an excellent communicator. We’d book again!
We had a great long weekend with extended family at this property! The cottage is so well stocked and the beds were exceptionally comfortable - bamboo sheets and cozy duvets! We barbecued every evening and enjoyed a nightly ritual of a campfire with s’mores. The property was exceptionally clean and the outdoor grounds are spacious and stunning! There’s even a beautiful pond with lily pads - so pretty! There are multiple freezers and fridges and this made bringing up prepared food easy! The kitchen had everything you’d ever need to prepare a gourmet feast. Andrea, the owner, made checking in easy. She’s attentive and welcoming and she made sure we had what we needed to make our stay memorable (she even wrote a welcome note, left us Starbucks coffee, and a bottle of wine!). I’d love to return to this cottage soon! A true gem!!!
We have been with all my family. 3 couples including 6 kids and one grand mother. The size was perfect for us. Another good point was that the house has three bathroom and two kitchen. So it makes all very easy for each families. The beds were confortable. Upstairs it was a bit hot because it looks like the A/C units were all at the ground floor. There was TV every where also. For me it is not really good for children.
Outside it is really nice in summer. It is better to not go early in the morning and in the evening to avoid the mosquitos. There is a bike path not far that leads directly to very nice beach (5 min by car otherwise - parking fees are expensive in Collingwood 10$/h). Also the city of Collingwood is very close and has all the shops you need.
Coming from Quebec it is not the cheapest house I rented but overall we were all happy of our stay.
Thanks to the owner Andrea that was always available to answer my questions !
