Amazing little spot
Me and my partner had an amazing time at this super sweet unit. It looks just like the pictures, check in and check out was super easy and host was very helpful. It is a little drive from downtown and shopping centre but we didn’t mind. It was nice, clean and welcoming.

Slightly misleading ad
It was nice, I looked up specifically hot tub in my search for my partners birthday. This came up with photos of a hot tub yet there was none. I can understand closing it for the season but your ad is misleading I definitely wouldn’t have booked it but it is nice enough

Overall the house was nice. The blinds were not adequate at all.The host was not always prompt in answering questions. It was on a property that had several metal out buildings. It was a little more business than residential.

The ArtBnb Experience
we arrived at around 8:30-9:00 and we had no troubles. we first noticed the beautiful impala ss on the side and of course we had to admire that. the house was perfectly clean when we arrived. we all picked where we wanted to sleep and we had 0 troubles. later in the night we had went out and started a nice fire and sat out there for a little bit. it was an amazing stay and id definitely recommend it to another family.

Nice home that is centrally located for all the different day trips we wanted to do. Hosts were great. I couldn’t find anything on what to do at checkout time except for the time so I hope we did everything correctly

Artsy, interesting, great space
This space is well laid out for 6 people to enjoy a quiet getaway. Beautiful big back deck for enjoying the outside, large kitchen with everything you need to make any food you’d like, a BBQ as well with all the accessories. Great layout, comfortable furniture. The upstairs will be work this summer but the ensuite bathroom is a beautiful luxury. We really enjoyed ourselves. It’s a bit of a drive if you are planning to spend a lot of time in the city, but worth it for the serene and quiet atmosphere!

Cute spot terrible beds
It was a cute place inside except for the pull out sofas. They were not comfortable at all especially the red sofa. Bed upstairs was hard, not for us. The outside needs some love but overall it was a cute spot.
