Redwood Retreat Waterfront Cottage By Simcoe With Hot Tub And Sauna

Helpful and kind host, gorgeous view and backyard is amazing, very clean.

Very beautiful place to stay. Clean beds, washroom, kitchen. Nice view from the property. Kids and parents were very happy to stay here. Kids are still saying, that they want to go again there. Peace place to relax. Everything was working as it should. Will definitely recommend others about the place .

The place was great my family enjoyed the games on the rainy day . There were no canoes the grass should of been cut given it was tick season and there were kids other then that a great place and would go back

My wife and I stayed with 4 adult kids. We really enjoyed the recreational games in the basement.

The host was prompt and responsive, which we appreciated. However, there were several issues that impacted our stay.The lower-level heat was not functioning (with outdoor temperatures around -5C). Portable space heaters were provided, but they needed to be used continuously and repeatedly tripped the breakers, making it difficult to keep the area consistently warm. The breaker panel was located in a cellar beneath a trap-door-style access, which was not readily accessible, making resets inconvenient and disruptive. The hot tub was green and unusable. The kitchen was minimally stocked, with very few pots and pans and only large stock pots available. The coffee maker took over 30 minutes to brew a pot. All faucets were missing aerators, causing water to spray when used. The kitchen faucet was also loose and wobbly, and a fixed-position model had been installed over a double sink where a pivoting/rotating faucet would have been appropriate and functional..Many surfaces and furniture pieces were heavily worn, peeling, or chipping to the point that material was shedding with normal use. Several electrical outlets, switches, and fans did not work, and some of the electrical and plumbing work appeared makeshift. We did not observe any smoke or CO detectors on the property. The bathtubs and showers showed visible mold and staining.Overall, while communication was good, the property’s condition and maintenance fell short of expectations.
