Great stay

Casa Mariposa was the perfect spot to stay for myself and my family. With close access and a free day pass to the Pinery, the house is ideal for those that need an accessible, comfortable place to stay if your group isn't up to camp. With a sauna, hot-tub, whirlpool and a fire pit, it feels like being the campground but with so many extras. Lots of indoor activites for rainy days and additional outside games and things to do for kids. Just the right amount of communication with our host. Place was cozy and comfortable. Clean and organized. I'd totally recommend!

Parents Weekend Away

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway with another couple—nothing too busy, just a peaceful place to unwind, catch up, and enjoy some low-key activities. This property was the perfect fit!We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, cozying up by the outdoor fire pit, cooking delicious meals together, playing pool, and simply relaxing. The location was also ideal for visiting Shale Ridge Winery and exploring a few nearby golf courses.The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very well equipped. There was plenty of space for two couples, and we’re already thinking about coming back with our kids next time!

They thought of everything!

My family recently stayed at this property for a few nights. The communication beforehand was excellent and the hosts were always quick to answer. The property was so clean and like the title of this says, they literally thought of everything. From snacks when we arrived, to a basket of “in case you forgot” that includes chargers, toiletries etc. There were so many amenities-the hot tub was so nice on a chilly night and my teen girls loved the projection tv and pool table. The beds were so comfortable and our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!

Fantastic Stay

I cannot think of one thing the hosts could do differently to improve upon our experience. The teens loved the PacMan and the pool table. Relaxing around the fire was great and the hot tub was enjoyed.Some little details we appreciated that are not usually found at other rentals include; oil, salt and pepper. New and matching plates, cutlery and glasses. New pots and pans. Charging ports everywhere. Fans in the bedrooms. Space heater in the basement bedroom. Coffee included. and Creamer and sugar and tea...A welcome snack basket. Smart TVs. So many board games! Clean and neutral and organized.Beach chairs.. A heater on the back deck!! I could really go on and on. This home is definitely a must.! Enjoy your stay, we certainly did.

Amazing family getaway location

From the start everything about this stay was spectacular. The communication with the hosts was prompt and they were always offering their help to us. The place was incredibly clean and the amenities were amazing. We loved the games, pool table, home theatre setup and hot tub - so much to keep us busy despite it being winter. We also loved how much baby/children’s items were there to make packing a little lighter. If you’re looking for a cozy vacation in, this is the place to stay. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous family retreat!

I had family from Europe and across Canada join for the stay. We have rented many VRBO homes and this is our favourite yet! Lots of things to do for kids of all ages and adults too. The house is so well stocked with everything you would need for a few days away. Communication with the owners was fabulous. My family is looking forward to going here again.

Terrific Long Weekend

Our family had a terrific time at this beautiful property. It had everything we needed from the outdoors to the kitchen to the entertainment area. The kitchen was very well-equipped with everything you needed to make a gourmet meal. Hot tub area, fire pit and trampoline were definitely a hit. We had one rainy night so we could take advantage of the game in the basement, including Foosball and Pac-Man machine in the basement, as well as the home theatre. Property is very well-maintained. Cops Communication with Ricardo and Angelo was excellent.and they were very responsive. Ipperwash Beach is about 10 minutes away, as was Grand Bend. Wonderful stay and we will definitely return. We were there during the September long weekend, but I’m sure a winter stay would also be great as they have a heat lamp In the hot tub area..
