We had great stay at this property in late August. The house is very well appointed, very clean and well stocked. The location is great - close to all attractions (and convenient to exploring nearby areas) but felt very private. Zac was a great host and super easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend staying here.

The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything you would need to stay. This is not a cottage it's a home.would recommend anyone going to the Scarborough area to stay here.

Wonderful home

This property is in a tranquil and relatively private location, all while being close to things to do. The hosts are wonderful and provided a nice binder with local recommendations and a beautiful floral arrangement. The Jones Family Farm goats milk soap smelled delicious and was a nice touch. It was a nice reprieve from the busy work-week and was such a lovely home!
