Tania and Chris made our Thanksgiving getaway feel like a pampered family vacation. They were incredibly quick to respond to anything we needed and often went above and beyond. They should be Superhosts!We kept saying they had thought of everything. In the past, we’ve stayed at cottages where the kitchenware felt old and uninviting, but here everything was spotless and thoughtfully chosen. Even the soaps were plant-based and free of preservatives. The house was exceptionally clean, and the kids had a great time with all the games and toys provided.We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you, Tania and Chris!

Chris and Tania are phenomenal hosts. We have never felt so papmered and taken care of at a short-term rental before. The cottage was beautifully and tastefully decorated for Christmas from a gorgeous Christmass tree, stockins to tea towels, dishes, shower curtains, etc. We were staying over Christmas with the kids and the hosts knew exactly what to do to make it etra magical for them. There were so many thoughtful little touches throughout our stay.The lower floor had tons of space to relax, play, and let the kids run around freely. There was also the cutest wood-burning stove area that felt like something straight out of a storybook.The cottage itself was spotless - and I don't use this term lightly. We had a baby with us, and for the first time ever at a rental, we had no concerns about our baby crawling on the floor or picking up crumbs, because there were none.The property also offers beautiful views of the river, greenery, and other cottages on the opposite bank, all beautifully framed by massive panoramic windows on the main level.Its location is fantastic for both winter stays (ski hills, tubing, etc.) and summer getaways. If possible, we would absolutely love to return in the summer to experience it then as well.Overall, a truly fantastic place with wonderful hosts. Highly recommended.

We truly cannot express how great this experience was. From the first message, Tania and Chris were very welcoming, helpful, and responsive. I had a few questions and they were extremely informative! The house itself was immaculate. The cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. We came with our young children, and this was by far the most “kid friendly” vacation we have had. There were baby gates, no dangerous trinkets or furniture, even the cleaning chemicals had been moved to the highest cupboards prior to our arrival! We often have a hard time “relaxing” while away, but this really was a safe spot for young kids, and there were so many considerate touches for us. The fenced in yard is extremely secure as well, which was a huge plus. The house was also fully equipped with a great selection of appliances, dishes, everything you need for a home away from home. We had such a great relaxing time by the fire, and being able to hop in a kayak and go for a paddle up the river was a huge highlight. Can’t say enough good things, just an overall wonderful experience with a fantastic house, location, and hosts! We will be sure to come back. A++++!!

The kids lived in the river. We barely moved the car all week. Paddled every morning, walked to the beach at night. The porch is everything.

Ski days at Blue, fire by the river after. Coming home to a stocked fireplace beats any hotel. We've already rebooked for March.

We came for the colours and stayed inside half the time because the house is so cozy. Real local touch: the welcome note and cider were lovely.
