Cute Suite
Cute suite, suitable for 2 people. All amenities and full kitchen/ supplies. They even left bagels and cream cheese for us. Property owner was quick to respond to messages. As a suggestion I think it needs blinds at the side door. It is private but anyone can just walk up and see in. I also didn’t realize this suite was attached to the house but that may have been my fault reading the listing.

We were extremely pleased with our unit and the owners. The only negative, there was no cable TV. There was only apple TV with Netflix. Otherwise, excellent stay.

Needs cleaning
The photos online of the layout is accurate. We received strict parking rules despite the huge rural property. It was tight with our 2 vehicles.... needlessly. There were several kids playing hockey too close to our vehicle's and rental suite, yelling and horseplaying. The host's dog entered the suite twice without invitation. The living room couch and surrounding areas had too much pet hair and smelled of vomit, as did the vaccum. The smell got into our clothes. The kitchen stove/oven is old and is dirty with black burnt on areas throughout. The fridge has thick dust and the kitchen floor needed washing. The coffee maker pod area is very dirty. We were overwhelmed with the bad smell, dirty kitchen and pet hair. The noise of the kids playing so close to the suite and parking our vehicle's didn't work for us. We left minutes after arriving in search of somewhere else on a busy Holiday weekend. We understand that price should reflect the accommodation. This rental suite was priced reasonably but needs a thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the living room and especially the kitchen. The bathroom was acceptable, as was the simple, no T.V. bedroom. The bedsheets weren't good and no attention to detail. We do not recommend this suite.
